    Product         : Cisco SCA 11000 Series Secure Content Accelerator
    Product URL     : http://www.cisco.com/warp/customer/cc/pd/cxsr/ps2083/
    CVE             : CAN-2002-0656
    Software release: All current releases
    Vendor status   : PSIRT and TAC notified 2002/09/17, last update 2002/09/24
    Patch status    : No patch available
    
    Attempts to exploit the vulnerability described in CAN-2002-0656 cause the
    SCA 11000 (all tested software releases) to spontaneously reboot, resulting
    in at least a denial of service.  This product incorporates code from an
    older OpenSSL release, and thus shares the same vulnerability.  There is no
    known means to work around this issue, short of disabling SSL services on
    the system.
    
    Cisco's Secure Content Accelerator is closely related to SonicWall's SSL
    offloader product.  The SonicWall product was also vulnerable, and a
    statement and fix were issued promptly:
    
    http://www.sonicwall.com/support/security_advisories/security_advisory-openSSL.html
    
    No official fix is as yet available from Cisco for this issue, and no
    advisory has been released.  Impact is likely equivalent to impact on the
    SonicWall product.
