Introduction to cisco-asa-fp2k.9.20.3.7.SPA

This security maintenance package provides critical updates for Cisco Firepower 2100 series appliances running Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) software. Released in Q1 2025 under Cisco Security Advisory ID 2025-ASA-0321, it resolves 12 CVEs including memory exhaustion vulnerabilities (CSCwi94022) and cross-site scripting risks (CSCwj29215) identified in previous 9.20.x versions.

Designed for enterprises requiring FIPS 140-3 Level 2 compliance, this build introduces TLS 1.3 session resumption optimization and improves cluster failover performance by 28% compared to 9.20.2 releases. The software supports Firepower 2110/2120/2130 hardware models with FXOS 2.8.1+ platform requirements.
