Via Cisco.com.

Multiple vulnerabilities exist in the Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliances and Cisco PIX Security Appliances. This security advisory outlines details of these vulnerabilities:

• Crafted TCP ACK Packet Vulnerability
• Crafted TLS Packet Vulnerability
• Instant Messenger Inspection Vulnerability
• Vulnerability Scan Denial of Service
• Control-plane Access Control List Vulnerability

The first four vulnerabilities may lead to a denial of service (DoS) condition and the fifth vulnerability may allow an attacker to bypass control-plane access control lists (ACL).
