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

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

2) An error exists in the processing of certain TCP packets when the
device is configured in multi-mode (with virtual firewalls) and
accepts Telnet, SSH, or ASDM connections. This can be exploited to
reload the device by sending a series of specially crafted TCP
packets.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a complete TCP
three-way handshake.

SOLUTION:
Update to a fixed version. Please see the vendor's advisory for
detailed patch information.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by the vendor.
