CVE-2020-3259 is an information disclosure vulnerability in the web services interface of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software. The flaw is caused by a buffer tracking issue during parsing of invalid URLs requested from the web services interface. By sending a crafted HTTP GET request containing an invalid URL, an unauthenticated remote attacker can cause the affected device to return portions of memory contents. Exposed memory may include sensitive information present in process memory, and the issue affects only specific AnyConnect and WebVPN configurations.
