Cisco IOS In SIP Interfering with service operations related to inspection functions (DoS) Vulnerabilities

DESCRIPTION

Unspecified vulnerability in Cisco IOS 12.2XNA, 12.2XNB, 12.2XNC, 12.2XND, 12.4T, 12.4XZ, and 12.4YA, when Zone-Based Policy Firewall SIP Inspection is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device reload) via a crafted SIP transit packet, aka Bug ID CSCsr18691. Cisco IOS is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to cause an affected device to reload, denying service to legitimate users. This issue is being tracked by Cisco Bug ID CSCsr18691. Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability. Workarounds that mitigate this vulnerability are available. This advisory is posted at: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20090923-ios-fw.shtml Note: The September 23, 2009, Cisco IOS Security Advisory bundled publication includes eleven Security Advisories. Each advisory lists the releases that correct the vulnerability or vulnerabilities detailed in the advisory. The following table lists releases that correct all Cisco IOS Software vulnerabilities that have been published on September 23, 2009, or earlier. http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20090923-bundle.shtml Individual publication links are in "Cisco Event Response: Semiannual Cisco IOS Software Advisory Bundled Publication" at the following link: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/security/intelligence/Cisco_ERP_sep09.html Affected Products ================= This vulnerability affects a limited number of Cisco IOS Software releases. Consult the "Software Versions and Fixes" section of this advisory for the details of affected releases. Vulnerable Products +------------------ To determine the Cisco IOS Software release that is running on a Cisco product, administrators can log in to the device and issue the "show version" command to display the system banner. The system banner confirms that the device is running Cisco IOS Software by displaying text similar to "Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software" or "Cisco IOS Software." The image name displays in parentheses, followed by "Version" and the Cisco IOS Software release name. Other Cisco devices do not have the "show version" command or may provide different output. The following example identifies a Cisco product that is running Cisco IOS Software Release 12.3(26) with an installed image name of C2500-IS-L: Router#show version Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software IOS (tm) 2500 Software (C2500-IS-L), Version 12.3(26), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2) Technical Support: http://www.cisco.com/techsupport Copyright \xa9) 1986-2008 by cisco Systems, Inc. Compiled Mon 17-Mar-08 14:39 by dchih <output truncated> The following example identifies a Cisco product that is running Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(20)T with an installed image name of C1841-ADVENTERPRISEK9-M: Router#show version Cisco IOS Software, 1841 Software (C1841-ADVENTERPRISEK9-M), Version 12.4(20)T, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc3) Technical Support: http://www.cisco.com/techsupport Copyright \xa9) 1986-2008 by Cisco Systems, Inc. Compiled Thu 10-Jul-08 20:25 by prod_rel_team <output truncated> Additional information about Cisco IOS Software release naming conventions is available in "White Paper: Cisco IOS Reference Guide" at the following link: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/620/1.html The device is vulnerable if the configuration has either a layer 3 or layer 7 SIP application-specific policy configured, and these policies are applied to any firewall zone. To determine whether the device is running a vulnerable configuration, log in to the device and issue the command line interface (CLI) command "show policy-map type inspect zone-pair | include atch: access|protocol sip". If the output contains "Match: protocol sip", the device is vulnerable. If the output contains "Match: access-group number", then the device is only vulnerable "if", the referenced access list permits the SIP protocol (UDP port 5060, or TCP ports 5060 and 5061). The following example shows a vulnerable device configured with Cisco IOS Zone-Based Policy Firewall SIP inspection: Router#show policy-map type inspect zone-pair | include atch: access|protocol sip Match: protocol sip Router# The following example shows a vulnerable device configured with SIP inspection by way of an applied access list: Router#show policy-map type inspect zone-pair | include atch: access|protocol sip Match: access-group 102 Router# Router#show access-list 102 Extended IP access list 102 10 permit udp any any eq 5060 20 permit tcp any any eq 5060 30 permit tcp any any eq 5061 Router# A device that is not configured for SIP inspection or does not support this configuration will return either a blank line or an error message. Products confirmed not vulnerable include: * Cisco PIX 500 Series Firewall * Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliance * Firewall Services Module (FWSM) for Catalyst 6500 Series Switches and 7600 Series Routers * Virtual Firewall (VFW) application on the multiservice blade (MSB) on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router * Cisco ACE Application Control Engine Module * Cisco IOS devices NOT configured with Cisco IOS Zone-Based Policy Firewall SIP inspection. * Cisco IOS devices configured with legacy Cisco IOS Firewall Support for SIP (CBAC) * Cisco IOS XE Software * Cisco IOS XR Software Details ======= Firewalls are networking devices that control access to the network assets of an organization. Firewalls are often positioned at the entrance points into networks. Cisco IOS software provides a set of security features that enable you to configure a simple or elaborate firewall policy, according to your particular requirements. Vulnerability Scoring Details ============================= Cisco has provided scores for the vulnerability in this advisory based on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). The CVSS scoring in this Security Advisory is done in accordance with CVSS version 2.0. CVSS is a standards-based scoring method that conveys vulnerability severity and helps determine urgency and priority of response. Cisco has provided a base and temporal score. Customers can then compute environmental scores to assist in determining the impact of the vulnerability in individual networks. Cisco has provided an FAQ to answer additional questions regarding CVSS at: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/security/intelligence/cvss-qandas.html Cisco has also provided a CVSS calculator to help compute the environmental impact for individual networks at: http://intellishield.cisco.com/security/alertmanager/cvss CSCsr18691 - Cisco IOS Software Zone-Based Policy Firewall CVSS Base Score - 7.8 Access Vector - Network Access Complexity - Low Authentication - None Confidentiality Impact - None Integrity Impact - None Availability Impact - Complete CVSS Temporal Score - 6.4 Exploitability - Functional Remediation Level - Official-Fix Report Confidence - Confirmed Impact ====== Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in a reload of the affected device. Repeated exploit attempts may result in a sustained DoS attack. Software Versions and Fixes =========================== When considering software upgrades, also consult: http://www.cisco.com/go/psirt and any subsequent advisories to determine exposure and a complete upgrade solution. In all cases, customers should exercise caution to be certain the devices to be upgraded contain sufficient memory and that current hardware and software configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release. If the information is not clear, contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or your contracted maintenance provider for assistance. Each row of the Cisco IOS software table (below) names a Cisco IOS release train. If a given release train is vulnerable, then the earliest possible releases that contain the fix (along with the anticipated date of availability for each, if applicable) are listed in the "First Fixed Release" column of the table. The "Recommended Release" column indicates the releases which have fixes for all the published vulnerabilities at the time of this Advisory. A device running a release in the given train that is earlier than the release in a specific column (less than the First Fixed Release) is known to be vulnerable. Cisco recommends upgrading to a release equal to or later than the release in the "Recommended Releases" column of the table. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Major Release | Availability of Repaired Releases | |-----------------+-------------------------------------------------| | Affected | | | | 12.0-Based | First Fixed Release | Recommended Release | | Releases | | | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| | There are no affected 12.0 based releases | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| | Affected | | | | 12.1-Based | First Fixed Release | Recommended Release | | Releases | | | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| | There are no affected 12.1 based releases | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| | Affected | | | | 12.2-Based | First Fixed Release | Recommended Release | | Releases | | | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| | There are no affected 12.2 based releases | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| | Affected | | | | 12.3-Based | First Fixed Release | Recommended Release | | Releases | | | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| | There are no affected 12.3 based releases | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| | Affected | | | | 12.4-Based | First Fixed Release | Recommended Release | | Releases | | | |-----------------+---------------------------+---------------------| | 12.4 | Not Vulnerable | | |-----------------+---------------------------+---------------------| | 12.4GC | Not Vulnerable | | |-----------------+---------------------------+---------------------| | 12.4JA | Not Vulnerable | | |-----------------+---------------------------+---------------------| | 12.4JDA | Not Vulnerable | | |-----------------+---------------------------+---------------------| | 12.4JDC | Not Vulnerable | | |-----------------+---------------------------+---------------------| | 12.4JDD | Not Vulnerable | | |-----------------+---------------------------+---------------------| | 12.4JK | Not Vulnerable | | |-----------------+---------------------------+---------------------| | 12.4JL | Not Vulnerable | | |-----------------+---------------------------+---------------------| | 12.4JMA | Not Vulnerable | | |-----------------+---------------------------+---------------------| | 12.4JMB | Not Vulnerable | | |-----------------+---------------------------+---------------------| | 12.4JX | Not Vulnerable | | |-----------------+---------------------------+---------------------| | 12.4MD | Not Vulnerable | | |-----------------+---------------------------+---------------------| | 12.4MDA | Not Vulnerable | | |-----------------+---------------------------+---------------------| | 12.4MR | Not Vulnerable | | |-----------------+---------------------------+---------------------| | 12.4SW | Not Vulnerable | | |-----------------+---------------------------+---------------------| | | Releases prior to 12.4 | 12.4(20)T4 | | | (20)T are not vulnerable;

This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via specially crafted HTTP requests. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. 2) An error in the IKE implementation can be exploited to allocate all available Phase 1 SAs and prevent new IPSec sessions from being established. Successful exploitation requires that the IKE certificate based authentication method is used. 3) Multiple errors exist in the IP tunnelling implementation when switching network packets. Successful exploitation requires that the device is configured for PPTP, GRE, IPinIP, Generic Packet Tunneling in IPv6, or IPv6 over IP tunnels, and Cisco Express Forwarding. 4) An error in the implementation of the Object Groups for ACLs feature can be exploited to bypass access control policies. 5) An error in the H.323 implementation can be exploited to trigger a device reload via specially crafted TCP packets. Successful exploitation requires that H.323 is enabled (disabled by default). 6) An error in the SIP implementation related to the Cisco Unified Border Element feature can be exploited to trigger a device reload. For more information: SA36836 7) An error in the SSLVPN, SSH, and IKE Encrypted Nonces features can be exploited to reload a device via specially crafted packets sent to TCP ports 22 (for SSH) or 443 (for SSLVPN), or UDP ports 500 and 4500 (for IKE Encrypted Nonces). 8) A race condition error exists in the Authentication Proxy for HTTP(S), Web Authentication, and consent features. This can be exploited to bypass the authentication proxy services and the consent accept web page if a successfully authenticated session or accepted consent session exists. This can be exploited to reload a device via a specially crafted SIP transit packet. 10) An error exists in the NTPv4 implementation while creating NTP reply packets. This can be exploited to trigger a device reload via a specially crafted NTP packet. SOLUTION: Update to a fixed version (please see the vendor's advisories for details). PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: 1, 3-10) Reported by the vendor. 2) Reported to the vendor by a customer.
