Description
A vulnerability in the EIGRP implementation in Cisco Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause the device to reload unexpectedly, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition.
This vulnerability is due to improper resource management when handling EIGRP update messages.

A successful exploit could allow the attacker to trigger a memory leak that will eventually cause the affected device to reload unexpectedly.
