A vulnerability in the certification authentication feature of Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IKEv2) for Cisco Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause an affected device to reload unexpectedly. This vulnerability is due to a logic error during the certificate authentication phase of the IKEv2 connection setup.

A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the IKEv2 process to crash, causing a denial of service (DoS) condition.
