CVE-2026-20106Network attack vector

Device halt via unvalidated packet memory exhaustion

Published Mar 4, 2026 · Updated Mar 4, 2026

Memory exhaustion in Cisco Secure Firewall ASA and FTD Software allows remote attackers to halt affected devices with crafted packets. The Remote Access SSL VPN, HTTP management, and MUS packet-processing paths accept unvalidated input, causing allocated memory not to be released. Exposure requires at least one affected feature to be enabled; successful exploitation stops the device and requires a manual reboot.
