"A vulnerability in the VPN authentication code that handles parsing of
the username from the certificate on the Cisco ASA firewall could allow
an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a reload of the affected
device. 

The vulnerability is due to parallel processing of a large number of
Internet Key Exchange (IKE) requests for which username-from-cert is
configured.  An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a
large number of IKE requests when the affected device is configured with
the username-from-cert command.  An exploit could allow the attacker to
cause a reload of the affected device, leading to a denial of service
(DoS) condition."
