CVE-2024-20353 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.6/10 on the CVSS scale. A vulnerability in the management and VPN web servers for Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the device to reload unexpectedly, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. This vulnerability is due to incomplete error checking when parsing an HTTP header. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request to a targeted web server on a device. CISA has confirmed active exploitation in the wild. EPSS estimates a 63.27% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
