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-2023-20031 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-2023-20031/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-20031/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-20031","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-20031/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-20031","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qg6w-hxqj-gmgx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco Firepower Threat Defense","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause Snort 3 engine restarts via high-rate SSL requests, leading to denial of service or security bypass on Cisco FTD devices.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"secure_firewall_threat_defense","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-244","name":"Improper Clearing of Heap Memory Before Release"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the SSL/TLS certificate handling of Snort 3 Detection Engine integration with Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the Snort 3 detection engine to restart. This vulnerability is due to a logic error that occurs when an SSL/TLS certificate that is under load is accessed when it is initiating an SSL connection. Under specific, time-based constraints, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a high rate of SSL/TLS connection requests to be inspected by the Snort 3 detection engine on an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the Snort 3 detection engine to reload, resulting in either a bypass or a denial of service (DoS) condition, depending on device configuration. The Snort detection engine will restart automatically. No manual intervention is required.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Denial of service in Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Software","id":"CVE-2023-20031","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"cisco:secure_firewall_threat_defense","products":["cisco:secure_firewall_threat_defense"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in Cisco Secure Endpoint","id":"CVE-2023-20032"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cisco Identity Services Engine XML External Entity Injection Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-20030"},"products":["Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Software"],"published":"2023-11-01","related":[{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Software","id":"CVE-2024-20412","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-10-23"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Memory corruption in Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Software","id":"CVE-2024-20330","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-10-23"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Software for Firepower 2100 Series TLS Denial of Service Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-20339","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-10-23"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Software Snort Firewall Denial of Service Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-20351","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-10-23"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Denial of service in Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Software","id":"CVE-2023-20083","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-01"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Denial of service in Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Software","id":"CVE-2023-20244","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-01"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Memory corruption in Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Software","id":"CVE-2022-20946","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-11-10"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-02","vendors":["Cisco"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can cause Snort 3 engine restarts via high-rate SSL requests, leading to denial of service or security bypass on Cisco FTD devices.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-20031/"}
