DoS in Cisco Snort 3 VBA decompression error handling
Multiple Cisco products are affected by vulnerabilities in the Snort 3 Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) feature that could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to cause the Snort 3 Detection Engine to crash. The issue is due to improper error checking when decompressing VBA data. An attacker can exploit this by sending crafted VBA data to the Snort 3 Detection Engine on the targeted device, resulting in an unexpected restart of the detection engine and a denial-of-service condition.
