CVE-2018-15398

Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software

A vulnerability in the per-user-override feature of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass an access control list (ACL) that is configured for an interface of an affected device. The vulnerability is due to errors that could occur when the affected software constructs and applies per-user-override rules. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by connecting to a network through an affected device that has a vulnerable configuration. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to access resources that are behind the affected device and would typically be protected by the interface ACL.

Exploitation status

  • A vendor advisory or patch reference has been published.

What the metrics mean

  • It is reachable over a network, without needing local access.
  • For an attacker who can reach it, exploitation depends on conditions outside the attacker's control.
  • To exploit it, no account is needed.
  • Beyond that, no action by a user is required.
