Summary
Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Software Snort 3 Detection Engine Denial of Service Vulnerability
Notes
Summary
A vulnerability in the TLS 1.3 implementation of the Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the Snort 3 detection engine to unexpectedly restart.
This vulnerability is due to a logic error in how memory allocations are handled during a TLS 1.3 session. Under specific, time-based constraints, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted TLS 1.3 message sequence through an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the Snort 3 detection engine to reload, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. While the Snort detection engine reloads, packets going through the FTD device that are sent to the Snort detection engine will be dropped. The Snort detection engine will restart automatically. No manual intervention is required.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are workarounds that address this vulnerability.
This advisory is part of the November 2023 release of the Cisco ASA, FTD, and FMC Security Advisory Bundled publication. For a complete list of the advisories and links to them, see Cisco Event Response: November 2023 Semiannual Cisco ASA, FMC, and FTD Software Security Advisory Bundled Publication ["https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/viewErp.x?alertId=ERP-74985"].
Vulnerable Products
At the time of publication, this vulnerability affected devices that were running a vulnerable release of Cisco FTD Software and for which both of the following conditions were true:
The device was running Snort 3.
The device was using an SSL policy with TLS 1.3 decryption enabled.
For information about which Cisco software releases are vulnerable, see the Fixed Software ["#fs"] section of this advisory.
Determine Cisco FTD Software Snort Configuration
To determine if Snort 3 is running on Cisco FTD Software, see Determine the Active Snort Version that Runs on Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) ["https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/secure-firewall-threat-defense/220415-determine-the-active-snort-version-that.html"]. Snort 3 has to be active for this vulnerability to be exploited.
Determine Cisco FTD Software SSL Policy Configuration
SSL decryption policies are not configured by default.
Determine Cisco FTD Software SSL Policy Configuration Using the FTD Software CLI
To determine whether an SSL policy is configured on a device that is running Cisco FTD Software, log in to the Cisco FTD Software CLI and use the show ssl-policy-config command.
If the command output shows SSL policy not yet applied, the device is not affected by this vulnerability, as shown in the following example:
>show ssl-policy-config
SSL policy not yet applied
If the command output shows a policy, the device has an SSL policy applied and could be affected by this vulnerability if TLS 1.3 decryption is enabled, as shown in the following example:
> show ssl-policy-config

Determine Cisco FTD Software TLS 1.3 Decryption Configuration
The default setting for TLS 1.3 decryption varies by platform when an SSL policy is configured. Note that TLS 1.3 decryption for Cisco FDM controlled devices is not offered until Cisco FTD Release 7.3.0. TLS 1.3 decryption is offered in Cisco FTD Release 7.2.0 for devices that are managed by Cisco FMC and Cisco Defense Orchestrator.
These are the default settings for the platforms:
TLS 1.3 decryption is not enabled by default for devices managed by Cisco FDM Software.
TLS 1.3 decryption is not enabled by default for devices managed by Cisco FMC Software.
TLS 1.3 decryption is enabled by default for devices managed by Cisco Discovery Orchestrator Software.
Determine Cisco FTD Software TLS 1.3 Decryption Configuration Using the FTD Software CLI
To determine from the CLI whether TLS 1.3 decryption is configured on a device, log in to the Cisco FTD Software CLI and use the grep tls13 /ngfw/var/sf/detection_engines/*/ssl/ssl.rules command.
If the output of the command shows "tls13_decryption" "false", the device is not affected by this vulnerability.
If the output of the command shows nothing, the device is not affected by this vulnerability.
If the output of command shows "tls13_decryption" "true", the device has an SSL policy applied and could be affected by this vulnerability if TLS 1.3 Decryption is enabled, as shown in the following example:
> expert
admin@ftd:~$
admin@ftd:~$grep tls13 /ngfw/var/sf/detection_engines/*/ssl/ssl.rules
"tls13_decryption" "true";

While these workarounds and mitigations have been deployed and were proven successful in a test environment, customers should determine the applicability and effectiveness in their own environment and under their own use conditions. Customers should be aware that any workaround or mitigation that is implemented may negatively impact the functionality or performance of their network based on intrinsic customer deployment scenarios and limitations. Customers should not deploy any workarounds or mitigations before first evaluating the applicability to their own environment and any impact to such environment.
Fixed Software
When considering software upgrades ["https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/resources/security_vulnerability_policy.html#fixes"], customers are advised to regularly consult the advisories for Cisco products, which are available from the Cisco Security Advisories page ["https://www.cisco.com/go/psirt"], to determine exposure and a complete upgrade solution.
In all cases, customers should ensure that the devices to be upgraded contain sufficient memory and confirm that current hardware and software configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release. If the information is not clear, customers are advised to contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or their contracted maintenance providers.
Cisco ASA, FMC, and FTD Software
To help customers determine their exposure to vulnerabilities in Cisco ASA, FMC, and FTD Software, Cisco provides the Cisco Software Checker ["https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/softwarechecker.x"]. This tool identifies any Cisco security advisories that impact a specific software release and the earliest release that fixes the vulnerabilities that are described in each advisory (“First Fixed”). If applicable, the tool also returns the earliest release that fixes all the vulnerabilities that are described in all the advisories that the Software Checker identifies (“Combined First Fixed”).
To use the tool, go to the Cisco Software Checker ["https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/softwarechecker.x"] page and follow the instructions. Alternatively, use the following form to search for vulnerabilities that affect a specific software release. To use the form, follow these steps:
Choose which advisories the tool will search—all advisories, only advisories with a Critical or High Security Impact Rating (SIR) ["https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/resources/security_vulnerability_policy.html#asr"], or only this advisory.
Choose the appropriate software.
Choose the appropriate platform.
Enter a release number—for example, 9.16.2.11 for Cisco ASA Software or 6.6.7 for Cisco FTD Software.
Click Check.
