Introduction to “asdm-7171-152.bin” Software
The Cisco ASDM 7.17(1.152) binary file provides the graphical management interface for Cisco ASA 5500-X and Firepower 4100/9300 series firewalls running ASA software versions 9.18(x). This maintenance release addresses critical security vulnerabilities (CVE-2022-20828, CVE-2022-20829) identified in earlier ASDM versions while maintaining compatibility with new ASA platform requirements.
As an essential component for firewall configuration and monitoring, this ASDM version supports:
- Policy management for Firepower 2100/4100/9300 chassis
- Real-time diagnostics for ISA 3000 appliances
- Centralized control of VPN configurations
Key Features and Improvements
Security Enhancements
- Digital signature validation enforcement (CSCwb05291) prevents unsigned ASDM images from running on ASA 9.18(2)+ systems
- Java bytecode execution vulnerability mitigation (CVE-2022-20829)
- SMB protocol hardening for management plane protection
Operational Improvements
- Firepower 1010E compatibility fixes (7.17(1.152) vs 7.19(1) branch)
- Enhanced SNMPv3 engine ID synchronization for HA clusters
- Streamlined certificate management workflow
Platform Support
- Extended compatibility window for legacy ASA 5506-X/5516-X platforms (final ASDM version for EoL hardware)
- Native support for Secure Firewall 3100 series management
Compatibility and Requirements
| Supported Hardware | Minimum ASA Version | ASDM Version Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Firepower 1010/1120 | 9.18(2) | 7.17(1.152)+ |
