Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense Software Snort 3 Visual Basic for Application Denial of Service Vulnerability

Published Mar 4, 2026 · Updated Mar 4, 2026 · Assigned by cisco

Description

Multiple Cisco products are affected by vulnerabilities in the Snort 3 VBA feature that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the Snort 3 Detection Engine to crash.

These vulnerabilities are due to improper error checking when decompressing VBA data. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending crafted VBA data to the Snort 3 Detection Engine on the targeted device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the Snort 3 Detection Engine to unexpectedly restart, causing a DoS condition.
