Crowdsourcing Your Cisco Firewall Administration... WAT?

Presented at THOTCON 0x5 (2014), April 25, 2014, 11 a.m. (45 minutes)

What if I told you that your users had the ability to administer your firewall? With the advent of some new vulnerabilities we discovered in Cisco ASA, your end users can bypass all authorization controls and execute any command on your firewall with full administrative privileges. This presentation will cover how these vulnerabilities were discovered, just how simple they are to exploit, and what you need to do right now to prevent getting owned.
