CVE-2021-40114
27.10.2021, 19:15
Multiple Cisco products are affected by a vulnerability in the way the Snort detection engine processes ICMP traffic that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to improper memory resource management while the Snort detection engine is processing ICMP packets. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a series of ICMP packets through an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to exhaust resources on the affected device, causing the device to reload.Enginsight

Common Weakness Enumeration
- CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or ThrottlingThe software allocates a reusable resource or group of resources on behalf of an actor without imposing any restrictions on the size or number of resources that can be allocated, in violation of the intended security policy for that actor.
- CWE-401 - Missing Release of Memory after Effective LifetimeThe software does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, which slowly consumes remaining memory.
