Snort deep packet inspection rule bypass in Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD)
A vulnerability in the Snort 2 and Snort 3 deep packet inspection integration within Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to bypass configured Snort rules, permitting traffic that should have been dropped. The issue is described as a logic error in how Snort Engine rules are applied during deep inspection such that different Snort rules may be matched for the inner versus outer connections, enabling crafted traffic to evade intended rule enforcement.
