We can confirm the finding made by Matt Zimmerman <mdz () debian org> for all 
older releases of the Cisco Secure Content Accelerator software.

Cisco has released version 3.2.0.20 of Cisco Secure Content Accelerator 
software on September 27, 2002 which resolves the OpenSSL issue.

The new version of software is available to customers via our website at 

        http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/cs-conacc

This problem has been documented in the Release-notes for version 3.2.0.20
online at:

> 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.
