Cisco Firepower System Software Server Message Block File Policy Bypass
Vulnerability
Medium
Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20180418-fss
First Published: 2018 April 18 16:00 GMT
Version 1.0: Final
Workarounds: No workarounds available
Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvg68807
CVE-2018-0243
CWE-693
CVSS Score: Base 5.8
CVSS: 3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N/E:X/RL:X/RC:X
CVE-2018-0243
CWE-693
Summary
o A vulnerability in the detection engine of Cisco Firepower System Software
could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass a configured file
action policy that is intended to drop the Server Message Block Version 2
(SMB2) and SMB Version 3 (SMB3) protocols if malware is detected.
The vulnerability is due to incorrect detection of an SMB2 or SMB3 file
based on the total file length. An attacker could exploit this
vulnerability by sending a crafted SMB2 or SMB3 transfer request through
the targeted device. An exploit could allow the attacker to pass SMB2 or
SMB3 files that could be malware even though the device is configured to
block them. This vulnerability does not exist for SMB Version 1 (SMB1)
files.
There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

Cisco Firepower System Software Server Message Block File Policy Bypass
Vulnerability
Medium
Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20180418-fss1
First Published: 2018 April 18 16:00 GMT

CVE-2018-0244
CWE-693
Summary
o A vulnerability in the detection engine of Cisco Firepower System Software
could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass a configured file
action policy to drop the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol if a malware
file is detected.
The vulnerability is due to how the SMB protocol handles a case in which a
large file transfer fails. This case occurs when some pieces of the file
are successfully transferred to the remote endpoint, but ultimately the
file transfer fails and is reset. An attacker could exploit this
vulnerability by sending a crafted SMB file transfer request through the
targeted device. An exploit could allow the attacker to pass an SMB file
that contains malware, which the device is configured to block.
There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

Cisco Firepower System Software Intelligent Application Bypass Vulnerability
Medium
Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20180418-fss2
First Published: 2018 April 18 16:00 GMT
Version 1.0: Final
Workarounds: No workarounds available
Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvf86435

CVE-2018-0254
CWE-693
Summary
o A vulnerability in the detection engine of Cisco Firepower System Software
could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass configured file
action policies if an Intelligent Application Bypass (IAB) with a drop
percentage threshold is also configured.
The vulnerability is due to incorrect counting of the percentage of dropped
traffic. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending network
traffic to a targeted device. An exploit could allow the attacker to bypass
configured file action policies, and traffic that should be dropped could
be allowed into the network.
There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
