VAR-201612-0159
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-13 23:33A vulnerability in the content filtering functionality of Cisco AsyncOS Software for Cisco Email Security Appliances and Cisco Web Security Appliances could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass user filters that are configured for an affected device. Affected Products: This vulnerability affects all releases prior to the first fixed release of Cisco AsyncOS Software for both virtual and hardware versions of the following Cisco products: Cisco Email Security Appliances (ESAs) that are configured to use message or content filters that scan incoming email attachments; Cisco Web Security Appliances (WSAs) that are configured to use services that scan accessed web content. More Information: CSCva90076, CSCvb06764. Known Affected Releases: 10.0.0-125 8.5.7-042 9.7.2-047. Vendors have confirmed this vulnerability Bug ID CSCva90076 , CSCvb06764 It is released as.A remote attacker may be able to bypass the configured user filter. CiscoEmailSecurityAppliance is a Cisco email security appliance. This may aid in further attacks. This issue is being tracked by Cisco Bug ID CSCva90076. Note:The issue affects all the devices running Cisco AsyncOS Software. The vulnerability stems from the fact that the program cannot properly filter certain TAR format files
