Insight
A vulnerability in the VPN code of Cisco ASA Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to submit configuration commands to the standby unit via the failover interface. As result, an attacker could be able to take full control of both the active and standby failover units. The vulnerability is due to improper implementation of the internal filter for packets coming from an established VPN tunnel. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted packets directed to the failover interface IP address.
