ASA 5510 Softwareupdate

frenka.christian — Tue, 10 Oct 2017 08:15:25 GMT

Hi,

i have a ASA5510 with version 9.1(6)11 installed on it. The suggested version is 9.1(7)19.

I can see that a lot of defects were resolved in version 9.1(7)19 but i can not see if there are any security bugs in version 9.1(6)11.

Version 9.1(6)11 is running without problems. So do i need to update my ASA to version 9.1(7)19?

Where can i find informations about known security bugs in version 9.1(6)11?

Best Regards

Chris

You can use the Bug Search Tool to find information on active and fixed bugs.

I hope this is helpful.

Thanks for your help!

I´m missing something like „Cisco IOS Software Checker“ where I can find the related security advisories that affect my release.

Of course I already know the release notes, but reading all resolved bugs and to check if they are security related bugs, will be very time-consuming.

Answer from Cisco TAC:

Unfortunately tool allowing this does not exist currently for ASA. The Cisco IOS Software Checker “https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/selectIOSVersion.x” is only released for IOS at this time.

For the ASAs, since there are limited software trains. The latest interim of the image should be that version with has the fix for the latest security advisory.
