According to its self-reported version, the Cisco Web Security Appliance is affected by a Denial of Service vulnerability. The vulnerability is due to improper validation of specific HTTP request headers. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a malformed HTTP request to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to trigger a prolonged status of high CPU utilization relative to the GUI process(es).
Please see the included Cisco BIDs and the Cisco Security Advisory for more information.
