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-2021-40117 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance. 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-2021-40117/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-40117/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-40117","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-40117/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-40117","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x7cf-699f-fpwc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco ASA/FTD","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated remote attackers can cause a denial of service on Cisco ASA and FTD devices by sending crafted SSL/TLS packets, requiring immediate patching.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"adaptive_security_appliance","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"adaptive_security_appliance_software","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"asa_5505_firmware","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"asa_5512-x_firmware","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"asa_5515-x_firmware","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"asa_5525-x_firmware","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"asa_5545-x_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:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-400","name":"Uncontrolled Resource Consumption"},{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"A vulnerability in SSL/TLS message handler for Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device.
