Summary
A vulnerability in the detection engine of Cisco Firepower System Software could
allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass file policies that are

BitTorrent handshake messages correctly. An attacker could exploit this
vulnerability by sending a crafted BitTorrent connection request to an affected
device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to bypass file policies
that are configured to block files transmitted to the affected device via the
BitTorrent protocol.
