DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Cisco Firewall
Services Module (FWSM), which can be exploited by malicious people to
bypass certain security restrictions and cause a DoS (Denial of
Service).

1) An error in the implementation of the system log message ID 302015
when generating a log message for IPv6 traffic can be exploited to
cause a memory corruption.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that the FWSM
has interfaces with IPv6 addresses.

2) An error in the authentication proxy feature during a high number
of network access authentication requests related to the "aaa
authentication match" and "aaa authentication include" commands can
be exploited to cause a crash.

3) An error in the TACACS+ implementation can be exploited to bypass
the TACACS+ authentication mechanism.

4) Four errors in the SunRPC inspection engine while processing
certain SunRPC messages can be exploited to reload a device via
specially crafted SunRPC packets that transit the appliance.

5) An error in the ILS inspection engine while processing certain ILS
messages can be exploited to reload a device via specially crafted ILS
packets that transit the appliance.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions 3.1, 3.2, 4.0, and 4.1.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 3.1(21), 3.2(22), 4.0(16), or 4.1(7).

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
