A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause an affected device to reload, resulting in a DoS condition.

A vulnerability in the multi-instance feature of Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to escape the container for their Cisco FTD instance and execute commands with root privileges in the host namespace.
