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-2023-20006 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software. 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-2023-20006/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-20006/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-20006","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-20006/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-20006","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hvf9-xw27-729c"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco ASA/FTD firewall","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated remote attackers can cause Cisco ASA and FTD devices to reload by sending crafted SSL/TLS traffic, resulting in a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"adaptive_security_appliance_software","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-681","name":"Incorrect Conversion between Numeric Types"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the hardware-based SSL/TLS cryptography functionality of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software for Cisco Firepower 2100 Series Appliances could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause an affected device to reload unexpectedly, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition.\r\n\r This vulnerability is due to an implementation error within the cryptographic functions for SSL/TLS traffic processing when they are offloaded to the hardware.
