Cisco
ASA Interim Release Notes
The software images listed below are Interim releases. They contain bug fixes which address specific issues found since the last Feature or Maintenance release. The images are fully supported by Cisco TAC and will remain on the download site only until the next Maintenance release is available. If you do not have a specific problem which is resolved by an Interim release, we recommend that you use the Feature or Maintenance release images.
Important: These images were not fully regression tested. Each individual fix was unit tested, and the image has had a limited amount of automated regression testing to confirm a baseline of functionality. Keep this testing status in mind if you decide to run them in a production environment. We strongly encourage you to upgrade to a fully tested Maintenance or Feature release when it becomes available.

Revision: Version 8.5.1(14) – 10/02/2012
Files: asa851-14-smp-k8.bin
Defects resolved since 8.5.1(7):
Note: If your Supervisor card is running version 15.1(1)SY, you should not use 8.5(1)14 for the ASA-SM. Due to CSCuc78176 15.1(1)SY/8.5(1)14 - WS-SVC-ASA-SM1 "PwrDown" due to SUP_LINE_CARD_COMPATIBILITY-6-SW_VERSION_MISMATCH, the ASA-SM will be shut down by the supervisor card. We recommend that you use ASASM 8.5(1)15 (target post date is early November). 8.5.1.14 will work fine with supervisor release 15.1(1)SY1 when it becomes available.
