An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-3179 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-3179/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-3179/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-3179","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-3179/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-3179","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xf33-8qpp-q25c"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco FTD firewall","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can crash Cisco Firepower Threat Defense devices by sending crafted GRE over IPv6 packets, causing a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"asa_5505_firmware","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"asa_5510_firmware","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"asa_5512-x_firmware","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"asa_5515-x_firmware","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"asa_5520_firmware","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"asa_5525-x_firmware","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"asa_5540_firmware","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"asa_5545-x_firmware","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"asa_5550_firmware","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"asa_5555-x_firmware","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"asa_5580_firmware","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"asa_5585-x_firmware","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"secure_firewall_threat_defense","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":8.6,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-415","name":"Double Free"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunnel decapsulation feature of Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device.
