22
FAUCET Score

CVE-2018-15390 describes a denial-of-service vulnerability in Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software's FTP inspection engine. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can trigger a device reload by sending high-rate transit traffic when FTP inspection and an associated access control rule are configured, leading to a low-memory condition and software panic. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 6.8) requires high attack complexity but has a high impact on availability. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion, suggesting a low current threat.
