Update from October 22nd, 2020: Cisco has become aware of a new Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance vulnerability that could affect the fixed releases recommended for code trains 9.13 and 9.14 in the Fixed Software section of this advisory. See the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software SSL/TLS Denial of Service Vulnerability for additional information. A vulnerability in the Clientless SSL VPN (WebVPN) of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to inject arbitrary HTTP headers in the responses of the affected system. The vulnerability is due to improper input sanitization. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a user of the interface to click a crafted link. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to conduct a CRLF injection attack, adding arbitrary HTTP headers in the responses of the system and redirecting the user to arbitrary websites. Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

At the time of publication, this vulnerability affected Cisco products running Cisco ASA Software or FTD Software when configured for AnyConnect/WebVPN and the Load Balancing service was enabled.
For information about which Cisco ASA Software and FTD Software releases were vulnerable, see the Fixed Software section of this advisory. See the Details section in the bug ID(s) at the top of this advisory for the most complete and current information.
To determine if the WebVPN service is enabled on a device, use the show running-config webvpn privileged EXEC command and refer to the output of the command. The following example shows the output of the command for a device that has the WebVPN service enabled:
ciscoasa# show running-config webvpn
.
.
.
webvpn
enable interface_name
.
.
.
To view AnyConnect-related configuration, use the show webvpn anyconnect command.
To determine if the Load Balancing service is enabled on a device, see Viewing VPN Load Balancing Information.
Only products listed in the Vulnerable Products section of this advisory are known to be affected by this vulnerability.
Cisco has confirmed that this vulnerability does not affect Cisco Firepower Management Center (FMC) Software.
There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
