Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Cisco PIX 500 Series Security Appliance (PIX) and Cisco 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA), which could be exploited by attackers to cause a denial of service.
The first issue is caused by an error in the Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) application layer protocol inspection feature (disabled by default) when processing malformed packets sent to port 2427/UDP, which could be exploited by attackers to reload a vulnerable application, creating a denial of service condition.
The second vulnerability is caused by an error in the handling of specially crafted Transport Layer Security (TLS) packets, which could be exploited by attackers to reload a vulnerable application, creating a denial of service condition.
