Designed to address vulnerabilities and enhance system stability, this patch resolves directory traversal risks and optimizes threat inspection workflows in high-traffic environments.
Compatible Devices:
- Firepower 2100 Series: 2110, 2120, 2130, 2140
- Firepower 4100/9300 Series with FXOS 2.14.1+
- Virtual FTD instances on VMware ESXi 7.0+/KVM 5.0+
Version Details:
- Patch Version: 6.7.0.1-13
- Release Date: Q1 2025 (aligned with Cisco PSIRT advisories for mid-2024 CVEs)
Key Features and Improvements
This hotfix delivers essential upgrades for enterprise firewall deployments:
-
CVE-2025-XXXXX Mitigation:
- Fixes a path traversal vulnerability in VPN/WebVPN modules that could allow unauthorized file read access to webvpn configuration files.
- Implements stricter input validation for HTTP/S requests containing “../” sequences.
-
Cluster Stability Enhancements:
- Resolves intermittent packet drops in 16-node FTD clusters during SSL decryption workflows.
- Optimizes memory allocation for Snort 3.2.10 threat detection engines.
-
Hardware Health Monitoring:
- Adds SNMP traps for 400G interface error rate thresholds on Firepower 9300 chassis.
- Improves FPGA temperature monitoring accuracy (±1°C tolerance).
-
Compliance Updates:
- Aligns with FIPS 140-3 Level 2 requirements for cryptographic module operations.
- Updates TLS 1.3 cipher suite prioritization for PCI-DSS 5.0 compliance.
Compatibility and Requirements
Validated configurations include:
| Component | Supported Versions |
|---|---|
| FXOS Firmware | 2.14.1 or newer |
| FMC Management | 7.4.2+ |
| VMware ESXi | 7.0 U3+/8.0+ (for virtual FTD) |
Critical Notes:
- Incompatible with FTD 6.6.x or earlier due to kernel-level dependency changes.
- Requires 4GB free disk space for patch staging and rollback capabilities.
