SYNTHESIS OF THE VULNERABILITY

connections filtered by Cisco AsyncOS, in order to bypass the
content filtering.
– Impacted products: AsyncOS, Cisco ESA, Cisco WSA.
– Severity: 2/4.
– Creation date: 16/02/2017.
DESCRIPTION OF THE VULNERABILITY
The Cisco AsyncOS product is used to filter exchanged data in mail

An attacker can therefore tamper with MIME headers in SMTP and
HTTP connections filtered by Cisco AsyncOS, in order to bypass the
content filtering.
