Release Notes for the Cisco ASA 5. Series, Version 8. Released: May 8, 2. Updated: July 1. 2, 2. This document contains release information for Cisco ASA 5. Versions 8. 2(1) through 8.

This document includes the following sections: Important Notes. Cisco ASA Clientless SSL VPN Portal Customization Integrity Vulnerability—Multiple vulnerabilities have been fixed for clientless SSL VPN in ASA software, so you should upgrade your software to a fixed version.

See http: //tools. Cisco. Security. Advisory/cisco- sa- 2. ASA versions. Also, if you ever ran an earlier ASA version that had a vulnerable configuration, then regardless of the version you are currently running, you should verify that the portal customization was not compromised. If an attacker compromised a customization object in the past, then the compromised object stays persistent after you upgrade the ASA to a fixed version.

Upgrading the ASA prevents this vulnerability from being exploited further, but it will not modify any customization objects that were already compromised and are still present on the system. The Advanced Inspection and Prevention Security Services Card (AIP SSC) can take up to 2. This initialization process must complete before configuration changes can be made to the sensor. Attempts to modify and save configuration changes before the initialization completes will result in an error. See the “Upgrading the Software” section for downgrade issues after you upgrade the Phone Proxy and MTA instance, or if you upgrade the activation key with new 8.

US/docs/security/asa/asa. When using Clientless SSL VPN Post- SSO parameters for the Citrix Web interface bookmark, Single Sign On (SSO) works, but the Citrix portal is missing the Reconnect and Disconnect buttons. Only the Log Off button appears. When not using SSO over Clientless, all three buttons show up correctly. Workaround : Use the Cisco HTTP- POST plug- in to provide SSO and correct Citrix portal behavior.

On the ASA 5. 51. Version 8. 2 uses more base memory than previous releases.

This might cause problems for some ASA 5. If your current show memory command output displays less than 2.

ASA 5. 51. 0 from 2. MB to 1 GB before proceeding with the Version 8.

See the “Memory Requirements” section. On the ASA 5. 58. Version 8. 2 shows increased CPU usage under stressed conditions than Version 8. Connection Profile/Tunnel Group terminology in CLI vs. ASDM—The ASA tunnel groups define the initial connection parameters and attributes (such as AAA, client address assignment, and connection alias/group- url) for a remote access VPN session. In the CLI, they are referred to as tunnel groups, whereas in ASDM they are referred to as Connection Profiles.

A VPN policy is an aggregation of Connection Profile, Group Policy, and Dynamic Access Policy authorization attributes. Cosmetic startup message issue on the ASA 5. X—Cisco manufacturing recently discovered a process error that resulted in loading a test build of BIOS firmware on many early shipments of the ASA 5. X. On the affected units, more text than usual displays on the console during startup before reaching the “rommon> ” prompt. Included in the extra output is the following message banner: CISCO SYSTEMS Spyker Build, TEST build not for Customer Release Embedded BIOS Version 2.

While you may see this additional text, there is no functional impact to the ASA operation; you can ignore the additional text. The test build provides additional information that can be used by engineers to pinpoint hardware problems during the manufacturing process. Unfortunately, there is no field- upgradeable resolution to eliminate this message that does not require replacing the hardware. Hardware with a serial number that falls within the following ranges could be impacted by this cosmetic issue. Note that not all serial numbers within these ranges are impacted.– JMX1. JMX1. 52. 0xxxx– JAF1. JAF1. 51. 6xxxx (for ASA- SSP- 2.

K8= only)Hardware with the following Product IDs for the above serial numbers could be impacted by this cosmetic issue: – ASA5. S2. 0- K8 – ASA5. S2. 0- K9– ASA5. 58. S2. 0P2. 0- K8– ASA5. S2. 0P2. 0- K9– ASA5. S2. 0P2. 0XK9– ASA5.

X platforms. All available memory in multi- core platforms (ASA 5. X) in ASA 8. 2(5) are also available in ASA 8. To take advantage of the enhanced capability, you should upgrade your devices to the ASA 8.

Connect SSL VPN sessions (Versions 2. ASA Version 8. 2. The feature was introduced in ASA interim Version 8. Stateful Failover with Phone Proxy—When using Stateful Failover with phone proxy, information is not passed to the standby unit; when the active unit goes down, the call fails, media stops flowing, and the call must be re- established. No. NET over Clientless sessions—Clientless sessions do not support. NET framework applications (CSCsv.

The ASA does not support phone proxy and CIPC for remote access. The AIP SSC- 5 does not support virtualization, unretiring default retired signatures, creating custom signatures, adding signatures, cloning signatures, or anomaly detection. The ASA cannot fully support domain- based DFS. To support this, the ASA would need to join the Active Directory and query the Active Directory server for DFS referral. Instead the ASA sends the DFS referral to the DNS servers configured for the users. Since the AD server is the DNS server in most cases, the majority of customer configurations are covered.(ASA 5.

ASA 5. 52. 0, ASA 5. ASA 5. 55. 0 only) We strongly recommend that you enable hardware processing using the crypto engine large- mod- accel command instead of software for large modulus operations such as 2. DH5 keys. If you continue to use software processing for large keys, you could experience significant performance degradation due to slow session establishment for IPsec and SSL VPN connections. We recommend that you initially enable hardware processing during a low- use or maintenance period to minimize a temporary packet loss that can occur during the transition of processing from software to hardware. Note For the ASA 5. ASA 5. 55. 0 using SSL VPN, in specific load conditions, you may want to continue to use software processing for large keys. If VPN sessions are added very slowly and the ASA runs at capacity, then the negative impact to data throughput is larger than the positive impact for session establishment.

The ASA 5. 58. 0/5. X platforms already integrate this capability; therefore, crypto engine commands are not applicable on these platforms. Only users with a privilege level of 1. ASA using the the secure copy protocol (SCP).
