Heap Corruption in Cisco OSPF Causes DoS via Device Reload

Publication date: 2026-03-04

Last updated on: 2026-05-04

Assigner: Cisco Systems, Inc.

Description
A vulnerability in the OSPF protocol of Cisco Secure Firewall ASA Software and Cisco Secure FTD Software could allow an authenticated, adjacent attacker to cause an affected device to reload unexpectedly, resulting in a DoS condition. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have the OSPF secret key. This vulnerability is due to heap corruption in OSPF when parsing packets. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted packets to the OSPF service. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to corrupt the heap, causing the affected device to reload, resulting in a DoS condition.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in the OSPF protocol implementation of Cisco Secure Firewall ASA Software and Cisco Secure FTD Software. It is caused by heap corruption when parsing OSPF packets. An authenticated attacker who is adjacent to the device and has the OSPF secret key can send specially crafted packets to the OSPF service, which can corrupt the heap and cause the affected device to reload unexpectedly.

Impact Analysis

The primary impact of this vulnerability is a denial-of-service (DoS) condition. An attacker exploiting this flaw can cause the affected device to reload unexpectedly, disrupting network operations and potentially causing downtime.
