CVE-2019-1886

A vulnerability in the HTTPS decryption feature of Cisco Web Security Appliance (WSA) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) server certificates. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by installing a malformed certificate in a web server and sending a request to it through the Cisco WSA. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause an unexpected restart of the proxy process on an affected device.

Una vulnerabilidad en la función de descifrado HTTPS de Cisco Web Security Appliance (WSA) podría permitir que un atacante remoto no autenticado provoque una condición de denegación de servicio (DoS). La vulnerabilidad se debe a la validación insuficiente de los certificados de servidor Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Un atacante podría aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad instalando un certificado con formato incorrecto en un servidor web y enviándole una solicitud a través de Cisco WSA. Una explotación con éxito podría permitir al atacante provocar un reinicio inesperado del proceso de proxy en un dispositivo afectado.
