Readers are reminded that the certification of this product (TOE) is the result of maintenance, rather than an actual re-evaluation of the product. Maintenance only considers the affect of TOE changes on the assurance baseline (i.e. the original evaluated TOE); maintenance is not intended to provide assurance in regard to the resistance of the TOE to new vulnerabilities or attack methods discovered since the date of the initial certificate. Such assurance can only be gained through re-evaluation.

Using a security impact analysis of the changes made to the TOE, which was provided by the developer, the CCEVS has determined that the impact of changes on the TOE are considered minor and that independent evaluator analysis was not necessary. A summary of the results can be found in the Maintenance Report, which is written in relation to the product's original validation report and Security Target. Readers are therefore reminded to read the Security Target, Validation Report, and the Assurance Maintenance Report to fully understand the meaning of what a maintained certificate represents.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The changes to the TOE consisted of 117 minor fixes. Each fix was applied to make the TOE or supporting hardware/software function as originally intended, no additional security functionality was added, and no existing security functionality was removed.

Each of the fixes fall into the following categorizations:

  • Minor Changes with Little or No Security Relevance: These changes may be related to the TSC in some way, though may or may not relate directly to an SFR defined within the ST.
  • Minor Changes with Some Security Relevance: These changes relate to the TSC in some way though the affect of the change is only to ensure the TOE functions as expected, and does not add or detract from the stated requirements in the ST.

The IAR provided by Cisco indicates that the assurance evidence has been updated to reflect the changes, and appropriate testing of the changed TOE has occurred.

The intent of this maintenance release was to correct systems bugs and vulnerabilities in the product that were reported and captured in the Cisco Defect and Enhancement Tracking System.
