A vulnerability in the Remote Access VPN (RAVPN) service of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) of the RAVPN service. This vulnerability is due to resource exhaustion. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a large number of VPN authentication requests to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to exhaust resources, resulting in a DoS of the RAVPN service on the affected device. Depending on the impact of the attack, a reload of the device may be required to restore the RAVPN service. Non-VPN related services of the device are not affected. Cisco Talos discussed these attacks in the blog post, Large-scale brute-force activity targeting VPNs, SSH services with commonly used login credentials. Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
