CVE-2018-0370 describes a denial-of-service vulnerability in Cisco Firepower System Software's detection engine, specifically impacting Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center when SSL inspection is enabled. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this by sending malicious traffic, causing the Snort detection engine to consume excessive memory. This leads to performance degradation and eventual restarts of the Snort process, with a CVSSv3 score of 7.5 (High) due to its network-based attack vector and high availability impact. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
