The version of Cisco Firepower System running on the remote host is affected by a denial of service vulnerability in the packet inspection engine due to improper handling of certain HTTP packet streams. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted HTTP packet stream, to cause the Snort process to restart, allowing traffic inspection to be bypassed or traffic to be dropped.
