Affected Products
=================
Vulnerable Products
+------------------
This security advisory applies to all Cisco products that run Cisco
IOS Software configured for NAT and that support the NAT SCCP
Fragmentation Support feature. This feature was first introduced in
Cisco IOS version 12.4(6)T.
To verify if NAT is enabled on a Cisco IOS device log into the device
and issue the command show ip nat statistics. The following example
shows a device configured with NAT:
Router# show ip nat statistics
Total translations: 2 (0 static, 2 dynamic; 0 extended)
Outside interfaces: Serial0
Inside interfaces: Ethernet1
Hits: 135 Misses: 5
Expired translations: 2
Dynamic mappings:
-- Inside Source
access-list 1 pool mypool refcount 2
pool mypool: netmask 255.255.255.0
start 192.168.10.1 end 192.168.10.254
type generic, total addresses 14, allocated 2 (14%), misses 0
Alternatively, you can use the show running-config | include ip nat
command to verify if NAT has been enabled on the router interfaces.
Note: With reference to NAT, the term "inside" refers to those
networks that will be translated. Inside this domain, hosts will have
addresses in one address space, while on the "outside", they will
appear to have addresses in another address space when NAT is
configured. The first address space is referred to as the local
address space and the second is referred to as the global address
space. The ip nat inside and ip nat outside interface commands must
be present on the corresponding router interfaces in order for NAT to
be enabled.
In order to determine the software that runs on a Cisco IOS product,
log in to the device and issue the show version command to display
the system banner. Cisco IOS software identifies itself as
"Internetwork Operating System Software" or simply "IOS." On the next
line of output, the image name displays between parentheses, followed
by "Version" and the Cisco IOS release name. Other Cisco devices do
not have the show version command or give different output.
The following example shows output from a device that runs an IOS
image:
router>show version
Cisco IOS Software, 7200 Software (C7200-ADVSECURITYK9-M), Version 12.4(6)T2, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
+--------------------------------
Cisco IOS XR and IOS XE are not affected by this vulnerability.
Cisco IOS devices not explicitly configured for NAT are not
vulnerable.
No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by these
vulnerabilities.
Details
=======
The Skinny Call Control Protocol (SCCP) enables voice communication
between an SCCP client and a Call Manager (CM). Typically, the CM
provides service to the SCCP clients on TCP Port 2000 by default.
Initially, an SCCP client connects to the CM by establishing a TCP
connection; the client will also establish a TCP connection with a
secondary CM, if available.
The NAT SCCP Fragmentation Support feature prevents skinny control
message exchanges from failing in a TCP segmentation scenario because
the NAT Skinny Application Layer Gateway (ALG) is able to reassemble
the skinny control messages. A segmented payload that requires an IP
or port translation will no longer be dropped. The NAT SCCP
Fragmentation Support feature was introduced in Cisco IOS version
12.4(6)T.
A series of fragmented SCCP messages may cause a Cisco IOS router
that is running the NAT SCCP Fragmentation Support feature to reload.
This vulnerability is documented in Cisco Bug ID CSCsg22426
and CSCsi17020, and has been assigned CVE identifiers CVE-2008-3810
and CVE-2008-3811.
Vulnerability Scoring Details
=============================
Cisco has provided scores for the vulnerabilities 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

Impact
======
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may cause the affected
device to reload. Repeated exploitation will result in a denial of
service (DoS) condition.
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.

Workarounds
===========
As workaround, an administrator can disable SCCP NAT support using
the no ip nat service skinny tcp port 2000 command, as shown in the
following example:
Router(config)# no ip nat service skinny tcp port 2000
Note: If your Cisco CallManager is using a TCP port for skinny
signaling different from the default port (2000), you need to adjust
this command accordingly.

Affected Products
=================
Vulnerable Products
+------------------
Devices running Cisco IOS and using SSL-based services are
susceptible to this vulnerability. Some of the services that utilize
SSL are:
* HTTP server supporting SSL encryption (HTTPS)
The following example shows a device that has the standard Cisco
IOS HTTP server disabled, but the SSL-enabled Cisco IOS HTTP
server enabled:
Router#show running-config | include ip http
no ip http server
ip http secure-server
Router#
* SSL Virtual Private Network (SSL VPN) also known as AnyConnect
VPN
The following example shows a device that has the SSL VPN feature
enabled:
Router#show running-config | include webvpn
webvpn enable
webvpn
Router#
* Open Settlement Protocol (OSP) for Packet Telephony feature
The following example shows a device that has the OSP feature
enabled and uses HTTPS protocol that is vulnerable:
Router#show running-config | include url
url https://<host_ip_address>:443/
Router#
The Cisco IOS Bug Toolkit may not accurately reflect the affected
releases for this advisory. The affected releases are as follows:
* 12.4(16)MR, 12.4(16)MR1, 12.4(16)MR2
* 12.4(17)
To determine the version of the Cisco IOS software running on a Cisco
product, log in to the device and issue the show version command to
display the system banner. Cisco IOS Software will identify itself as
"Internetwork Operating System Software" or simply "IOS." On the next
line of output, the image name will be displayed between parentheses,
followed by "Version" and the IOS release name. Other Cisco devices
will not have the show version command or will give different output.

Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
+--------------------------------
No other Cisco products and Cisco IOS releases are currently known to
be affected by this vulnerability.
Details
=======
This vulnerability is triggered during the termination of an SSL
session. Possession of valid credentials such as a username, password
or a certificate is not required. SSL protocol uses TCP as a
transport protocol. The requirement of the complete TCP 3-way
handshake reduces the probability that this vulnerability will be
exploited through the use of spoofed IP addresses.
A device running vulnerable Cisco IOS Software with SSL-based service
configured will crash while terminating an SSL session.
This vulnerability is documented in Cisco Bug ID CSCsj85065 and has
been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID
CVE-2008-3798.
Vulnerability Scoring Details
=============================
Cisco has provided scores for the vulnerabilities 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.

Impact
======
A successful exploit of this vulnerability may cause a crash of the
affected device. Repeated exploitation may result in a sustained
denial of service condition.
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.

Workarounds
===========
To prevent an exploit of a vulnerable device, SSL-based services need
to be disabled. However, if regular maintenance and operation of the
device relies on this service, there is no workaround.
The following command will disable the vulnerable HTTPS service:
Router(config)#no ip http secure-server
The following command will disable the vulnerable SSL VPN service:
Router(config)#no webvpn enable
The following command will disable the vulnerable OSP service:
Router(config)#no settlement <n>
Another option is to revert to HTTP protocol instead using HTTPS. The
downside of this workaround is that the settlement information will
be sent over the network unprotected.
It is possible to mitigate this vulnerability by preventing
unauthorized hosts from accessing affected devices.
Control Plane Policing (CoPP)
+----------------------------
Cisco IOS software versions that support Control Plane Policing
(CoPP) can be configured to help protect the device from attacks that
target the management and control planes. CoPP is available in Cisco
IOS release trains 12.0S, 12.2SX, 12.2S, 12.3T, 12.4, and 12.4T.
In the following CoPP example, the ACL entries that match the exploit
packets with the permit action will be discarded by the policy-map
drop function, whereas packets that match a deny action (not shown)
are not affected by the policy-map drop function:
!-- Include deny statements up front for any protocols/ports/IP addresses that
!-- should not be impacted by CoPP
!-- Include permit statements for the protocols/ports that will be
!-- governed by CoPPaccess-list 100 permit tcp any any eq 443
!-- Permit (Police or Drop)/Deny (Allow) all other Layer3 and Layer4
!-- traffic in accordance with existing security policies and
!-- configurations for traffic that is authorized to be sent
!-- to infrastructure devices.
!
!-- Create a Class-Map for traffic to be policed by
!-- the CoPP feature.
!
class-map match-all drop-SSL-class match access-group 100
!
!-- Create a Policy-Map that will be applied to the
!-- Control-Plane of the device.
!
policy-map drop-SSL-policy class drop-SSL-class drop
!-- Apply the Policy-Map to the Control-Plane of the
!-- device.
!
control-plane service-policy input drop-SSL-policy
Note: In the preceding CoPP example, the ACL entries with the permit
action that match the exploit packets will result in the discarding
of those packets by the policy-map drop function, whereas packets
that match the deny action are not affected by the policy-map drop
function.
Additional information on the configuration and use of the CoPP
feature is available at the following links:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6642/products_white_paper0900aecd804f…
and http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1838/products_feature_gui…
Access Control List (ACL)
+------------------------
An Access Control List (ACL) can be used to help mitigate attacks
that target this vulnerability. ACLs can specify that only packets
from legitimate sources are permitted to reach a device, and all
others are to be dropped. The following example shows how to allow
legitimate SSL sessions from trusted sources and deny all other SSL
sessions:
access-list 101 permit tcp host <legitimate_host_IP_address> host
<router_IP_address> eq 443
access-list 101 deny tcp any any eq 443

Revision 1.0
For Public Release 2008 September 24 1600 UTC (GMT)
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary
=======
Multiple vulnerabilities exist in the Session Initiation Protocol
(SIP) implementation in Cisco IOS that can be exploited remotely to
trigger a memory leak or to cause a reload of the IOS device.
Cisco has released free software updates that address these
vulnerabilities. Fixed Cisco IOS software listed in the Software
Versions and Fixes section contains fixes for all vulnerabilities
addressed in this advisory.
There are no workarounds available to mitigate the effects of any of
the vulnerabilities apart from disabling the protocol or feature
itself, if administrators do not require the Cisco IOS device to
provide voice over IP services.
This advisory is posted at
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20080924-sip.shtml
Note: The September 24, 2008 IOS Advisory bundled publication
includes twelve Security Advisories. Eleven of the advisories address
vulnerabilities in Cisco's IOS software, and one advisory addresses
vulnerabilities in Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Each
Advisory lists the releases that correct the vulnerability described
in the Advisory. Please reference the following software table to
find a release that fixes all published IOS software Advisories as of
September 24th, 2008:

Affected Products
=================
These vulnerabilities only affect devices running Cisco IOS that have
SIP voice services enabled.
Vulnerable Products
+------------------
Cisco devices running affected Cisco IOS versions and that may
process SIP messages are affected. The only requirement for these
vulnerabilities is that the Cisco IOS device processes SIP messages
as part of configured voice over IP (VoIP) functionality (this does
not apply to processing of SIP messages as part of the NAT and
firewall feature sets.) Recent versions of Cisco IOS do not process
SIP messages by default, but creating a "dial peer" via the command
dial-peer voice will start the SIP processes and cause Cisco IOS to
start processing SIP messages. An example of an affected
configuration is as follows:
dial-peer voice <Voice dial-peer tag> voip
...
!
Note that older versions of Cisco IOS were affected by a bug that
caused Cisco IOS to process SIP messages even without being
configured for SIP operation. Please refer to
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20070131-sip.shtml
for additional information on Cisco bug ID CSCsb25337.
In addition to inspecting the Cisco IOS device configuration for a
dial-peer command that causes the device to process SIP messages,
administrators can also use some show commands to determine if the
Cisco IOS device is running processes that handle SIP messages, or if
the device is listening on the SIP ports.
The command show processes | include SIP can be used to determine
whether Cisco IOS is running the processes that handle SIP messages.
In the following example, the presence of the processes
CCSIP_UDP_SOCKET and CCSIP_TCP_SOCKET indicates that the Cisco IOS
device is processing SIP messages:
Router#show processes | include SIP
147 Mwe 40F46DF4 12 2 600023468/24000 0 CCSIP_SPI_CONTRO
148 Mwe 40F21244 0 1 0 5524/6000 0 CCSIP_DNS
149 Mwe 40F48254 4 1 400023108/24000 0 CCSIP_UDP_SOCKET
150 Mwe 40F48034 4 1 400023388/24000 0 CCSIP_TCP_SOCKET
Different versions of Cisco IOS have different ways of verifying
whether the Cisco IOS device is listening for SIP messages. The show
ip sockets, show udp, show tcp brief all, and show control-plane host
open-ports commands can be used to determine this, although not all
of these commands work on all IOS releases. Since it is not practical
in this document to provide a list of commands corresponding to the
various releases, users should try the aforementioned commands to
determine which ones work for their device. The following is one
example of one command that shows a router listening on port 5060
(the SIP port):
router#show control-plane host open-ports
Active internet connections (servers and established)
Prot Local Address Foreign Address Service State
<output removed for brevity>
tcp *:5060 *:0 SIP LISTEN
<outoput removed for brevity>
udp *:5060 *:0 SIP LISTEN
In order to determine the software that runs on a Cisco IOS product,
log in to the device and issue the show version command to display
the system banner. Cisco IOS software identifies itself as
"Internetwork Operating System Software" or simply "IOS." On the next
line of output, the image name displays between parentheses, followed
by "Version" and the Cisco IOS release name. Other Cisco devices do
not have the show version command or give different output.
The following example shows output from a device that runs an IOS
image:
router>show version
Cisco IOS Software, 7200 Software (C7200-ADVSECURITYK9-M), Version 12.4(6)T2, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

Additional information on the Cisco IOS release naming conventions
can be found on the document entitled "White Paper: Cisco IOS
Reference Guide", which is available at
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/620/1.html
Cisco Unified Communications Manager is also affected by some of
these vulnerabilities, although they are tracked by different Cisco
bug IDs. A companion security advisory for Cisco Unified
Communications Manager is available at
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20080924-cucm.shtml
Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
+--------------------------------
The SIP Application Layer Gateway (ALG), which is used by the IOS
Network Address Translation (NAT) and firewall features of Cisco IOS,
is not affected by these vulnerabilities.
Cisco devices that are running Cisco IOS XR are not affected.
With the exception of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager, no
other Cisco products are currently known to be vulnerable to the
issues described in this advisory.
Details
=======
SIP is a popular signaling protocol used to manage voice and video
calls across IP networks such as the Internet. SIP is responsible for
handling all aspects of call setup and termination. Voice and video
are the most popular types of sessions that SIP handles, but the
protocol is flexible to accommodate for other applications that
require call setup and termination. SIP call signaling can use UDP
(port 5060), TCP (port 5060), or TLS (TCP port 5061) as the
underlying transport protocol.
Multiple denial of service vulnerabilities exist in the SIP
implementation in Cisco IOS. In all cases vulnerabilities can be
triggered by processing valid SIP messages.
Memory Leak Vulnerability
+------------------------
CSCse56800 causes a memory leak in affected devices. The memory
leak is caused by the processing of a specific type of valid SIP
messages and may eventually disrupt the availability of all
voice services, even if the Cisco IOS device is still running.
This vulnerability has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures (CVE) ID CVE-2008-3799.
Device Reload Vulnerabilities
+----------------------------
The following vulnerabilities can lead to a reload of the Cisco IOS
device while processing some specific and valid SIP messages:
* CSCsg91306, assigned CVE ID CVE-2008-3800
* CSCsl62609, assigned CVE ID CVE-2008-3801
* CSCsk42759, assigned CVE ID CVE-2008-3802
Vulnerability Scoring Details
=============================
Cisco has provided scores for the vulnerabilities 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.

Impact
======
Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities described in this
document may result in a reload of the device. The issue could be
repeatedly exploited to result in an extended Denial Of Service (DoS)
condition.
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.

Workarounds
===========
If the affected Cisco IOS device needs to provide voice over IP
services and therefore SIP cannot be disabled then none of the listed
vulnerabilities have workarounds. Users are advised to apply
mitigation techniques to limit exposure to the listed
vulnerabilities. Mitigation consists of only allowing legitimate
devices to connect to the routers. To increase effectiveness, the
mitigation must be coupled with anti-spoofing measures on the network
edge. This action is required because SIP can use UDP as the
transport protocol.
Additional mitigations that can be deployed on Cisco devices within
the network are available in the Cisco Applied Mitigation Bulletin
companion document for this advisory, which is available at the
following link:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-amb-20080924-sip.shtml
Disable SIP Listening Ports
+--------------------------
For devices that do not require SIP to be enabled, the simplest and
most effective workaround is to disable SIP processing on the device.
Some versions of Cisco IOS allow administrators to accomplish this
with the following commands:
sip-ua
no transport udp
no transport tcp
Warning: When applying this workaround to devices processing
MGCP or H.323 calls, the device will not allow you to stop SIP
processing while active calls are being processed. Under these
circumstances, this workaround should be implemented during a
maintenance window when active calls can be briefly stopped.
It is recommended that after applying this workaround, the show
commands discussed in the Vulnerable Products section be used to
confirm that the Cisco IOS device is no longer processing SIP
messages.
Control Plane Policing
+---------------------
For devices that need to offer SIP services it is possible to use
Control Plane Policing (CoPP) to block SIP traffic to the device from
untrusted sources. Cisco IOS software releases 12.0S, 12.2SX, 12.2S,
12.3T, 12.4, and 12.4T support the CoPP feature. CoPP may be
configured on a device to protect the management and control planes
to minimize the risk and effectiveness of direct infrastructure
attacks by explicitly permitting only authorized traffic sent to
infrastructure devices in accordance with existing security policies
and configurations. The following example can be adapted to your
network:
!-- The 192.168.1.0/24 network and the 172.16.1.1 host are trusted.
!-- Everything else is not trusted. The following access list is used
!-- to determine what traffic needs to be dropped by a control plane
!-- policy (the CoPP feature.) If the access list matches (permit)
!-- then traffic will be dropped and if the access list does not
!-- match (deny) then traffic will be processed by the router.
access-list 100 deny udp 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 any eq 5060
access-list 100 deny tcp 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 any eq 5060
access-list 100 deny tcp 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 any eq 5061
access-list 100 deny udp host 172.16.1.1 any eq 5060
access-list 100 deny tcp host 172.16.1.1 any eq 5060
access-list 100 deny tcp host 172.16.1.1 any eq 5061
access-list 100 permit udp any any eq 5060
access-list 100 permit tcp any any eq 5060
access-list 100 permit tcp any any eq 5061
!-- Permit (Police or Drop)/Deny (Allow) all other Layer3 and Layer4
!-- traffic in accordance with existing security policies and
!-- configurations for traffic that is authorized to be sent
!-- to infrastructure devices.
!-- Create a Class-Map for traffic to be policed by
!-- the CoPP feature.
class-map match-all drop-sip-class
match access-group 100
!-- Create a Policy-Map that will be applied to the
!-- Control-Plane of the device.
policy-map drop-sip-traffic
class drop-sip-class
drop
!-- Apply the Policy-Map to the Control-Plane of the
!-- device.
control-plane
service-policy input drop-sip-traffic
Warning: Because SIP can utilize UDP as a transport protocol,
it is possible to easily spoof the sender's IP address, which may
defeat ACLs that permit communication to these ports from trusted
IP addresses.
In the above CoPP example, the access control list entries (ACEs)
that match the potential exploit packets with the "permit" action
result in these packets being discarded by the policy-map "drop"
function, while packets that match the "deny" action (not shown) are
not affected by the policy-map drop function. Additional information
on the configuration and use of the CoPP feature can be found at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6642/products_white_paper0900aecd804f…
and http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1838/products_feature_gui…

Customers using Third Party Support Organizations
+------------------------------------------------
Customers whose Cisco products are provided or maintained through
prior or existing agreements with third-party support organizations,
such as Cisco Partners, authorized resellers, or service providers
should contact that support organization for guidance and assistance
with the appropriate course of action in regards to this advisory.
The effectiveness of any workaround or fix is dependent on specific
customer situations, such as product mix, network topology, traffic
behavior, and organizational mission. Due to the variety of affected
products and releases, customers should consult with their service
provider or support organization to ensure any applied workaround or
fix is the most appropriate for use in the intended network before it
is deployed.
Customers without Service Contracts
+----------------------------------
Customers who purchase direct from Cisco but do not hold a Cisco
service contract, and customers who purchase through third-party
vendors but are unsuccessful in obtaining fixed software through
their point of sale should acquire upgrades by contacting the Cisco
Technical Assistance Center (TAC). TAC contacts are as follows.
* +1 800 553 2447 (toll free from within North America)

Cisco uBR10012 series devices that are not configured for linecard
redundancy are not affected.
Cisco 10000 series devices are not affected even if they are
configured for linecard redundancy.
Other uBR platforms are not affected.
No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by this
vulnerability.
Details
=======
Cisco uBR10012 series devices need to communicate with an RF Switch
when configured for linecard redundancy. This communication is based
on SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). When linecard
redundancy is enabled on a Cisco uBR10012 series device, SNMP is also
automatically enabled with a default community string of private that
has read/write privileges. Since there are no access restrictions on
this community string, it may be exploited by an attacker to gain
complete control of the device.
Changing the default community string, adding access restrictions on
SNMP or doing both will mitigate this vulnerability. The recommended
mitigation is to do both.
This vulnerability is documented in the Cisco Bug ID CSCek57932
and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID
CVE-2008-3807.

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.

Workarounds
===========
Changing SNMP community string and restricting access
+----------------------------------------------------
By default, Cisco uBR10012 series devices that are configured for
linecard redundancy use a community string of private. This community
string can be changed in Cisco IOS versions 12.3(13)BC and later. It
is recommended to change the community string and apply access
control restrictions that only permit authorized devices SNMP access
to the device.
The following configuration example provides operators with
information on changing the community string and adding SNMP access
control restrictions using an access control list (ACL).
access-list 90 permit host <RF-Switch-IP-1>
access-list 90 permit host <RF-Switch-IP-2>
access-list 90 permit host <up-converter-IP-if-exists>
access-list 90 deny any
redundancy
linecard-group 1 cable
rf-switch snmp-community <RF-Switch-SNMP-community>
snmp-server community <RF-Switch-SNMP-community> rw 90
When the SNMP community is changed on a Cisco uBR10012 device, is
must also be changed on the RF Switch. It can be changed by the
following command:
set SNMP COMMUNITY <RF-Switch-SNMP-community>
If there is an up-converter in the network, the SNMP community used
by the up-converter must also be changed after changing the community
string on the Cisco uBR10012 device. Information on changing the
community string used by the up-converter can be found at the
following link:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk86/tk804/technologies_tech_note09186a0080…
If the Cisco IOS version does not support changing the community
string, access control restrictions can be applied to the default
community string. The following configuration example provides
operators with information on applying access control restrictions to
the default community string.
access-list 90 permit host <RF-Switch-IP-1>
access-list 90 permit host <RF-Switch-IP-2>
access-list 90 permit host <up-converter-IP-if-exists>
access-list 90 deny any
snmp-server community private rw 90
Using Infrastructure ACLs at Network Boundary
+--------------------------------------------
Although it is often difficult to block traffic transiting your
network, it is possible to identify traffic which should never be
allowed to target your infrastructure devices and block that traffic
at the border of your network. iACLs are a network security best
practice and should be considered as a long-term addition to good
network security as well as a workaround for this specific
vulnerability. The iACL example shown below should be included as
part of the deployed infrastructure access-list which will protect
all devices with IP addresses in the infrastructure IP address range:
!-- Permit SNMP (UDP port 161) packets from trusted hosts
!-- destined to infrastructure addresses.
!
access-list 150 permit udp TRUSTED_HOSTS MASK INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES MASK eq 161
!
!-- Deny SNMP (UDP port 161) packets from all other sources
!-- destined to infrastructure addresses.
!
access-list 150 deny udp any INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES MASK eq 161
!
!-- Permit/deny all other Layer 3 and Layer 4 traffic in
!-- accordance with existing security policies and
!-- configurations.
!
!-- Permit all other traffic to transit the device.
!
access-list 150 permit ip any any
!
!-- Apply iACL to interfaces in the ingress direction.
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/0
ip access-group 150 in
!
The white paper entitled "Protecting Your Core: Infrastructure
Protection Access Control Lists" presents guidelines and recommended
deployment techniques for infrastructure protection access lists.

Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20080924-cucm
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20080924-cucm.shtml
Revision 1.0
For Public Release 2008 September 24 1600 UTC (GMT)
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary
=======
Cisco Unified Communications Manager, formerly Cisco Unified
CallManager, contains two denial of service (DoS) vulnerabilities in
the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) service. An exploit of these
vulnerabilities may cause an interruption in voice services.
Cisco will release free software updates that address these
vulnerabilities and this advisory will be updated as fixed software
becomes available. There are no workarounds for these
vulnerabilities.
Note: Cisco IOS software is also affected by the vulnerabilities
described in this advisory. A companion advisory for Cisco IOS
software is available at
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20080924-sip.shtml
This advisory is posted at
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20080924-cucm.shtml
Affected Products
=================
The vulnerabilities described in this document apply to the Cisco
Unified Communications Manager.
Vulnerable Products
+------------------
The following Cisco Unified Communications Manager versions are
affected:
* Cisco Unified CallManager 4.1 versions prior to 4.1.3SR8
* Cisco Unified CallManager 4.2 versions prior to 4.2(3)SR4b
* Cisco Unified CallManager 4.3 versions prior to 4.3(2)SR1a
* Cisco Unified Communications Manager 5.x versions prior to 5.1
(3d)
* Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.x versions prior to 6.1(2)
su1
Administrators of systems running Cisco Unified CallManager version
4.x can determine the software version by navigating to Help > About
Cisco Unified CallManager and selecting the Details button via the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration interface.
Administrators of systems that are running Cisco Unified
Communications Manager versions 5.x and 6.x can determine the
software version by viewing the main page of the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Administration interface. The software version
can also be determined by running the command show version active via
the command line interface.
In Cisco Unified CallManager version 4.x, the use of SIP as a call
signaling protocol is not enabled by default, and for the Cisco
Unified CallManager server to start listening for SIP messages on TCP
and UDP ports 5060 and 5061 a SIP trunk needs to be configured.
In Cisco Unified Communications Manager versions 5.x and later, the
use of SIP as a call signaling protocol is enabled by default in
Cisco Unified Communications Manager and cannot be disabled.
Cisco IOS software is also affected by these vulnerabilities,
although they are tracked by different Cisco bug IDs. A companion
security advisory for Cisco IOS software is available at
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20080924-sip.shtml
Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
+--------------------------------
With the exception of Cisco IOS software, no other Cisco products are
currently known to be vulnerable to the issues described in this
advisory.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager version 7.x is not affected by
these vulnerabilities.
Cisco Unified CallManager version 4.x is not affected by these
vulnerabilities if it does not have any SIP trunks configured.
Details
=======
Cisco Unified Communications Manager is the call processing component
of the Cisco IP Telephony solution that extends enterprise telephony
features and functions to packet telephony network devices, such as
IP phones, media processing devices, voice-over-IP gateways, and
multimedia applications.
SIP is a popular signaling protocol that is used to manage voice and
video calls across IP networks such as the Internet. SIP is
responsible for handling all aspects of call setup and termination.
Voice and video are the most popular types of sessions that SIP
handles, but the protocol is flexible to accommodate for other
applications that require call setup and termination. SIP call
signaling can use UDP (port 5060), TCP (port 5060), or TLS (TCP port
5061) as the underlying transport protocol.
Two DoS vulnerabilities exist in the SIP implementation of the Cisco
Unified Communications Manager. These vulnerabilities can be
triggered while processing specific and valid SIP messages and can
lead to a reload of the main Cisco Unified Communications Manager
process. Version 4.x of Cisco Unified CallManager do not have SIP
enabled by default unless a SIP trunk is configured. Versions 5.x and
later of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager have SIP is enabled
by default and cannot be disabled.
The vulnerabilities are being tracked by the following Cisco bug IDs:
* CSCsu38644, assigned CVE ID CVE-2008-3800
* CSCsm46064, assigned CVE ID CVE-2008-3801

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.
Cisco Unified CallManager version 4.1(3)SR8 contains fixes for all
vulnerabilities affecting Cisco Unified CallManager version 4.1
listed in this advisory, and is scheduled to be released in early
October 2008.
Cisco Unified CallManager version 4.2(3)SR4b contains fixes for all
vulnerabilities affecting Cisco Unified Communications Manager
version 4.2.x listed in this advisory, and is scheduled to be
released in early November 2008.
Cisco Unified CallManager version 4.3(2)SR1a contains fixes for all
vulnerabilities affecting Cisco Unified Communications Manager
version 4.3.x listed in this advisory, and is scheduled to be

Downloading Cisco Unified Communications Manager Software
+--------------------------------------------------------
To download Cisco Unified Communications Manager Software go to the
Voice Software Downloads section of the Software Center on cisco.com
at
http://tools.cisco.com/support/downloads/go/Redirect.x?mdfid=278875240
then navigate to IP Telephony > Call Control > Cisco Unified
Communications Manager (CallManager) and select the appropriate
version of Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Workarounds
===========
There are no workarounds for these vulnerabilities.
It is possible to mitigate the vulnerabilities by implementing
filtering on screening devices. Permit TCP/UDP access to ports 5060
and 5061 from only networks that need SIP access to Cisco Unified
Communications Manager servers.
If the Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not need to provide
SIP services, the ports on which the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager listens for SIP messages can be moved to non-standard ports.
To change the ports from their default values, log into the Cisco
Unified CallManager Administration web interface, go to System >
Cisco Unified CM, locate the appropriate Cisco Unified Communications
Manager, change the fields SIP Phone Port and SIP Phone Secure Port
to a non-standard port, then click Save. SIP Phone Port, by default
5060, refers to the TCP and UDP ports where the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager listens for normal SIP messages, and SIP Phone
Secure Port, by default 5061, refers to the TCP and UDP ports where
the Cisco Unified Communications Manager listens for SIP over TLS
messages. For additional information about this procedure, refer to
the "Updating a Cisco Unified Communications Manager" section of the
"Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide" at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucmbe/admin/7_0_1/ccmcfg/b02….
Note: For a change of the SIP ports to take effect, the Cisco
CallManager Service needs to be restarted. For information on how to
accomplish this, refer to "Restarting the Cisco CallManager Service"
at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucmbe/admin/7_0_1/ccmcfg/b03…
Additional mitigations that can be deployed on Cisco devices within
the network are available in the Cisco Applied Mitigation Bulletin
companion document for this advisory, which is available at the
following link:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-amb-20080924-sip.shtml

Affected Products
=================
Products running Cisco IOS versions 12.0S, 12.2, 12.3 or 12.4 and
configured for MPLS VPNs or VRF Lite are potentially affected.
Cisco IOS releases based on 12.1 are not affected.
Vulnerable Products
+------------------
Cisco IOS devices are vulnerable if they are configured for MPLS VPN
or VRF Lite and have a BGP session between the CE and PE devices, and
process extended communities. If a device is configured for MPLS VPN
or VRF Lite the command address-family ipv4 vrf <vrf-name> or
address-family ipv6 vrf <vrf-name> will be present in the device
configuration.
The following shows a command executed on a device configured for
MPLS VPN:
router#show running-config | include address-family [ipv4|ipv6]
address-family ipv4 vrf <vrf-name>
The following shows a PE device configured for an IPv4 BGP session
between the PE and the CE:
router bgp <Local AS>
address-family ipv4 vrf one
neighbor <neighbor IP> remote-as < Remote AS>
neighbor <neighbor IP> activate
To determine the software running on a Cisco product, log in to the
device and issue the "show version" command to display the system
banner. Cisco IOS software will identify itself as "Internetwork
Operating System Software" or simply "IOS". On the next line of
output, the image name will be displayed between parentheses,
followed by "Version" and the IOS release name. Other Cisco devices
will not have the "show version" command or will give different
output.
The following example identifies a Cisco product that is running
Cisco IOS release 12.4(11)T2:
Router#show version
Cisco IOS Software, 7200 Software (C7200-ADVSECURITYK9-M), Version 12.4(11)T2, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc4)

Additional information on the Cisco IOS release naming conventions
can be found on the document entitled "White Paper: Cisco IOS
Reference Guide", which is available at
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/620/1.html
Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
+--------------------------------
Cisco products not configured for MPLS VPNs or VRF Lite are
unaffected by this vulnerability.
Cisco products that do not run IOS are unaffected by this
vulnerability.
Cisco IOS-XR is not affected.
No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by this
vulnerability.
Details
=======
MPLS VPNs allow for the creation of 'virtual networks' that customers
can use to segregate traffic into multiple, isolated VPNs. Traffic
within each MPLS VPN is kept separate from the others, thereby
maintaining a virtual private network.
More information on MPLS and MPLS VPNs is available at the following
link:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6557/products_ios_technology_home.html
A bug exists when processing extended communities with MPLS VPNs. If
extended communities are used, MPLS VPN may incorrectly use a
corrupted route target (RT) to forward traffic. If this occurs,
traffic can leak from one MPLS VPN to another.
This vulnerability exists whenever an affected PE device has a BGP
session running in the MPLS VPN Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF).
The following two examples of this scenario are the most common:
1) MPLS VPN configuration with BGP running inside the VRF between the
PE and CE devices.
2) MPLS Inter-AS option A with BGP running between the Autonomous
System Border Routers (ASBR).
The mitigation in the Workarounds section filters extended
communities on a PE device, preventing them from being received by
devices configured for MPLS VPN.
This vulnerability was introduced with Cisco bug ID CSCee83237. Cisco
IOS images that do not include CSCee83237 are not vulnerable to this
issue.
It is important to note that this condition cannot be triggered by an
attacker and that the condition does not provide ways to determine
the flow of traffic between VPNs.
This vulnerability is documented in the Cisco Bug ID CSCec12299
and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID
CVE-2008-3803.
Vulnerability Scoring Details
=============================

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.

Workarounds
===========
Customers running versions of Cisco IOS that support filtering of
extended communities can prevent the corruption of the route target
(RT) by applying a BGP route-map that removes RT entries on inbound
BGP sessions.
The following configuration example applied in the ipv4 address
family of a PE device removes extended communities from the CE
router:
router bgp <Local AS>
address-family ipv4 vrf one
neighbor <neighbor IP>
remote-as <Remote AS>
neighbor <neighbor IP>
activate neighbor <neighbor IP>
route-map FILTER in exit-address-family
!
ip extcommunity-list 100 permit _RT.*_
!
!
route-map FILTER permit 10
set extcomm-list 100 delete
!
The following configuration example applied in the ipv6 address
family of a PE device removes extended communities from the CE
router:
router bgp <Local AS>
address-family ipv6 vrf one
neighbor <neighbor IP>
remote-as <Remote AS>
neighbor <neighbor IP>
activate neighbor <neighbor IP>
route-map FILTER in exit-address-family
!
ip extcommunity-list 100 permit _RT.*_
!
!
route-map FILTER permit 10
set extcomm-list 100 delete
!
Note: The capability of filtering extended communities is only
available in certain 12.0S and 12.2S based Cisco IOS releases.
BGP session between the PE and the CE needs to cleared to make this
configuration change effective.
Obtaining Fixed Software
========================
Cisco has released free software updates that address these
vulnerabilities. Prior to deploying software, customers should
consult their maintenance provider or check the software for feature
set compatibility and known issues specific to their environment.
Customers may only install and expect support for the feature sets
they have purchased. By installing, downloading, accessing or
otherwise using such software upgrades, customers agree to be bound
by the terms of Cisco's software license terms found at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/prod_warranties_item09186a008088e31f.ht…
or as otherwise set forth at Cisco.com Downloads at
http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/sw-usingswc.shtml
Do not contact psirt(a)cisco.com or security-alert(a)cisco.com for
software upgrades.
Customers with Service Contracts
+-------------------------------
Customers with contracts should obtain upgraded software through
their regular update channels. For most customers, this means that
upgrades should be obtained through the Software Center on Cisco's
worldwide website at http://www.cisco.com.
Customers using Third Party Support Organizations
+------------------------------------------------
Customers whose Cisco products are provided or maintained through
prior or existing agreements with third-party support organizations,
such as Cisco Partners, authorized resellers, or service providers
should contact that support organization for guidance and assistance
with the appropriate course of action in regards to this advisory.
The effectiveness of any workaround or fix is dependent on specific
customer situations, such as product mix, network topology, traffic
behavior, and organizational mission. Due to the variety of affected
products and releases, customers should consult with their service
provider or support organization to ensure any applied workaround or
fix is the most appropriate for use in the intended network before it
is deployed.
Customers without Service Contracts

I'm pretty much ready to take my life over having to deal with AOL's
Postmaster.
If anyone has a contact or lead at AOL with a clue, could you please respond
off-list? I am at wits end.
A thousand apologies for the noise,

Just to add my $0.02 to this discussion and a disclaimer - I've known
Emil for years, I've seen his shop and even the controversy.
200 Paul is a small community, and most of the folks in there know
eachother, I've been in there since 2001 or so.
Intercage is not a big shop, there are very few people involved in running
it and I have a very hard time believing the accusations made by some
of the folks around. I also don't believe Intercage was complicit in any
net-crime; Thats not to say it didn't exist, but more along the lines
of they got lost in the noise of running a business. I'd guess that
given the server volume they've got, abuse emails are less than one percent
of all the email they get in a week. From what I've seen, the bulk of their
customer base is webhosters, Unix Shell providers and some video/audio
streamers. Were I to venture a guess on the number of folks reselling
those webservers, its probably on the order of thousands...
Any time I've had an issue with one of Atrivo's customers, it only took
one email to get it dealt with, or I got Emil on IM or on the phone and
it was taken care of.
My experience with being on the other end of abuse@, I'd say a good
60-75% of the complaints I saw coming in were bogus. Either people
complaining about their ZoneAlarm's going off, people complaining
about bounced emails with spam and a bunch of automated stuff that was
always wrong. The legit complaints were not always easy to deal with
either since a good 20-30% of them were unclear on what was actually wrong
until you spent some time digging.
Basically is what it boils down to for me - its easy to blame
an NSP/ISP/Hoster for what their clients do, it takes real dedication to
find out whats *actually* going on.

Hello Mark,
It really seems YOU _DID_ miss the memo.
I think that since no one else is responding to your non-sense, there is no reason for me to either.
If you have something accurate to say, I'll be happy to listen.
Until then, there's not much I can say. There's no sense in repeating myself.

Russell:
Ferg was just being coy -- what you don't understand is there are about 3 other
security mailing lists plotting to TAKE YOUR SERVICE DOWN. You FAIL. Law
Enforcement might not take action against you (but appear to be interested now),
but the community can. GET OFF THE NET WITH YOUR MALWARE!
You mistake me for someone who believes you pack of lies! Don't you
understand each
time you post to this list gives those of us who know the opportunity
to post MORE EVIDENCE
of your MALWARE?
You disconnected Hostfresh and think that's the extent of your cimes?
Gimme a break.
Only those who are easily socially engineered would believe your
pathetic claims of innocence.
You've BEEN HOSTING MALWARE since 2003 -- SEE Nanog post:

Answer Ferg's question -- Why are you moving to CERNAL? Do you think this
is going to work? That's just another of Emil's networks.
> We're on a rocky road right now. But it IS starting to smooth out.
That's just the calm before the storm.

Hello John Doe,
I welcome any further comments you have.
We have to get past people such as yourself, and your blasphemous and false statements.
This is the same issue with the recent media and self-proclaimed "Security Researchers". Fly-by-night mind you.
To help you out in your claims:
Yes, we did house a client whom had quite a run with their client's from various locations, such as Russia.
That Client is no longer hosted on our network. I myself spent all of monday afternoon, night, and tuesday morning shutting off EVERY machine they had leased in our Billing System. I'm currently working to scan further and see if there's anything I may have missed.
Yes, Russia is very well known for Virus and Malware writer's.
Yes, we have had issues with malware distribution from our network.
This was directly and near singularly related to the former client of ours. We did have another client, Hostfresh, whom had their share of malware issues.
Both have been completely and effectively removed. The server's leased to both of them have been canceled, and their machines have been shutoff.
Let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to state to the public.
We're on a rocky road right now. But it IS starting to smooth out.
Thank you for your time. Have a great day.

Look, the people posting here who are trashing Intercage are pure security
analysts -- they
know and understand the evil that is Intercage. STOP TRYING TO ASSIST
INTERCAGE
-- you are effectively aiding and abetting the enemy.
Intercage/Atrivo hosts the malware c&c botnets that DDoS your systems and
networks.
Intercage/Atrivo hosts the spyware that compromises your users' passwords.
Intercage/Atrivo hosts the adware that slows your customers' machines.
Don't take my word for it, DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH:

You don't get called the ***American RBN*** for hosting a couple bad
machines. They
have and will continue to host much of the malware pumped out of America.
THEY
ARE NOT YOUR COMRADES..
These people represent the most HIGHLY ORGANZIED CRIME you will ever
come across. Most people were afraid to speak out against them until this
recent ground swell.
This is the MALWARE CARTEL. GET THE PICTURE?
