Cisco Security Advisory: Cisco IOS Software Object-group Access
Control List Bypass Vulnerability
Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20090923-acl
Revision 1.0
For Public Release 2009 September 23
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary
=======
A vulnerability exists in Cisco IOS� software where an
unauthenticated attacker could bypass access control policies when
the Object Groups for Access Control Lists (ACLs) feature is used.
Cisco has released free software updates that address this
vulnerability. There are no workarounds for this vulnerability other
than disabling the Object Groups for ACLs feature.
This advisory is posted at:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20090923-acl.shtml
Note: The September 23, 2009, Cisco IOS Security Advisory bundled
publication includes eleven Security Advisories. Ten of the
advisories address vulnerabilities in Cisco IOS Software, and one
advisory addresses a vulnerability in Cisco Unified Communications
Manager. 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
=================
Vulnerable Products
+------------------
Any Cisco device configured with ACLs using the object group feature
and running an affected Cisco IOS software version is affected by
this vulnerability.
Note: The Object Groups for ACLs feature was introduced in Cisco IOS
software version 12.4(20)T.
To verify whether object groups are configured in a Cisco IOS device,
use the "show object-group" command in user EXEC or privileged EXEC
mode. The following example displays a sample output from the "show
object-group" command when object groups are configured:
Router# show object-group
Network object group my_host_group
host 172.18.104.123
Service object group my_allowed_services
tcp eq www
tcp eq 443
Alternatively, administrators can also use the "show running config |
include ^ (permit|deny) .*object-group" command to verify whether
object groups are configured, as shown in the following example:
Router#show running-config | include ^ (permit|deny) .*object-group
permit object-group my_allowed_services host 10.10.1.1 host 10.20.1.1
permit tcp any object-group my_host_group eq 22
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)

Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
+--------------------------------
Cisco devices that are not configured with object groups are not
vulnerable.
Cisco IOS XE Software and Cisco IOS XR Software are not affected by
this vulnerability.
No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by this
vulnerability.
Details
=======
In Cisco IOS Software an object group can contain a single object
(such as a single IP address, network, or subnet) or multiple objects
(such as a combination of multiple IP addresses, networks, or
subnets). In an ACL that is based on an object group, administrators
can create a single access control entry (ACE) that uses an object
group name instead of creating many ACEs, which each would require a
different IP address. A similar object group, such as a protocol port
group, can be extended to limit access to a set of applications for a
user group to a server group.
A vulnerability exists in Cisco IOS Software that could allow an
unauthenticated attacker to bypass access control policies when the
Object Groups for ACLs feature is used.
Note: The Object Groups for ACLs feature was introduced in Cisco IOS
software version 12.4(20)T.
This vulnerability is documented in the following Cisco Bug IDs:
* CSCsx07114
* CSCsu70214
* CSCsw47076
* CSCsv48603
* CSCsy54122
* CSCsu50252
This vulnerability has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures (CVE) identifier CVE-2009-2862.
Vulnerability Scoring Details
=============================

Impact
======
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to
access resources that should be protected by the Cisco IOS device.
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.

* Cisco Unified Communications Manager 5.x versions prior to 5.1(3g)
* Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.x versions prior to 6.1(4)
* Cisco Unified Communications Manager 7.0.x versions prior to 7.0(2a)su1
* Cisco Unified Communications Manager 7.1.x versions prior to 7.1(2)
Cisco Unified CallManager versions 4.x are not affected by this
vulnerability. Administrators of systems that are running Cisco
Unified Communications Manager versions 5.x, 6.x and 7.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 "show version active"
command via the command-line interface.
A SIP trunk must be configured for the Cisco Unified CallManager
server to begin listening for SIP messages on TCP and UDP port 5060
and TCP/5061. However, in Cisco Unified Communications Manager
versions 5.x and later, the use of SIP as a call signaling protocol
is enabled by default and cannot be disabled.
Cisco IOS Software is also affected by this vulnerability, but it is
associated with different Cisco bug IDs. A companion security
advisory for Cisco IOS Software is available at:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20090923-sip.shtml
Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
+--------------------------------
Cisco Unified CallManager versions 4.x are not affected by this
vulnerability. With the exception of Cisco IOS software, no other
Cisco products are currently known to be affected by this
vulnerability.
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 manages 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 enough to accommodate other applications that
require call setup and termination. SIP call signaling can use UDP
(port 5060), TCP (port 5060), or Transport Layer Security (TLS; TCP
port 5061) as the underlying transport protocol.
A DoS vulnerability exists in the SIP implementation of the Cisco
Unified Communications Manager. This vulnerability could be triggered
when Cisco Unified Communications Manager processes crafted SIP
messages. An exploit could lead to a reload of the main Cisco Unified
Communications Manager process.
This vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCsz95423 and has been
assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID CVE-2009-2864.

of voice services.
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.
The following table contains the first fixed software release for
this vulnerability. A device running a version of the given release
in a specific row (less than the First Fixed Release) is known to be
vulnerable.
+---------------------------------------+
| Release | First Fixed Version |
|-----------+---------------------------|
| 4.x | Not Vulnerable |
|-----------+---------------------------|
| 5.x | 5.1(3g) |
|-----------+---------------------------|
| 6.x | 6.1(4) |
|-----------+---------------------------|
| 7.0.x | 7.0(2a)su1 |
|-----------+---------------------------|
| 7.1.x | 7.1(2) |
+---------------------------------------+
Workarounds
===========
There are no workarounds for this vulnerability.
It is possible to mitigate this vulnerability by implementing
filtering on screening devices and permitting TCP/UDP access to ports
5060 and TCP/5061 only from networks that require SIP access to Cisco
Unified Communications Manager servers.
If Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not need to provide SIP
services, administrators can configure the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager to listen for SIP messages on non standard
ports. Use the following instructions to change the ports from their
default values:
Step 1 Log into the Cisco Unified CallManager Administration web
interface.
Step 2 Navigate to System > Cisco Unified CM and locate the
appropriate Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Step 3 Change the fields SIP Phone Port and SIP Phone Secure Port
fields to a non standard port and click Save.
SIP Phone Port, which is 5060 by default, 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 port 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 SIP port change to take effect, the Cisco CallManager
Service must be restarted. For information on how to restart the
service, refer to the "Restarting the Cisco CallManager Service"
section of the document 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 in the
network are available in the companion document "Cisco Applied
Mitigation Bulletin: Identifying and Mitigating Exploitation of the
Denial of Service Vulnerabilities in Cisco Unified Communications
Manager and Cisco IOS Software", which is available at the following

vulnerabilities.
Details
=======
Cisco Unified CME is the call processing component of an enhanced IP
telephony solution that is integrated into Cisco IOS.
The Extension Mobility feature in Cisco Unified CME provides the
benefit of phone mobility for end users. A user login service allows
phone users to temporarily access a physical phone other than their
own phone and utilize their personal settings, such as directory
number, speed-dial lists, and services, that is assigned to their own
desk phone. The phone user can make and receive calls on that phone
using the same personal directory number as is on their own desk
phone. More information on Extension Mobility feature is available at
the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucme/admin/configuration/gui…
A vulnerability in the login section of the Extension Mobility
feature may allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary
code or cause a Denial of Service (DoS) condition. Such packets can
only come from registered phone IP addresses in the form of HTTP
requests. If the auto-registration feature is enabled, an attacker
can register its IP address and subsequently send a crafted payload
to exploit this vulnerability. The auto-registration feature is
enabled by default. More information on auto-registration can be
found at the following link:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucme/command/reference/cme_a….
This vulnerability is addressed by the Cisco Bug ID CSCsq58779 and has
been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID CVE-2009-2865.

Workarounds
===========
There are no workarounds to mitigate this vulnerability, other than
disabling Extension Mobility. However, auto-registration can be
disabled to make exploitation more difficult. Auto-registration can
be disabled by the following command:
telephony-service
no auto-reg-ephone
Before disabling auto-registration, all phone MAC addresses need to
be explicitly defined on the Cisco Unified CME. Otherwise phones will
not be able to register. More information on auto-registration can be
found at the following link:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucme/command/reference/cme_a…
Additional mitigations that can be deployed on Cisco devices in the
network are available in the Cisco Applied Mitigation Bulletin
companion document for this advisory, which is available at the

Hash: SHA1
Cisco Security Advisory: Cisco IOS Software H.323 Denial of Service
Vulnerability
Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20090923-h323
Revision 1.0
For Public Release 2009 September 23
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary
=======
The H.323 implementation in Cisco IOS� Software contains a
vulnerability that can be exploited remotely to cause a device that
is running Cisco IOS Software to reload.
Cisco has released free software updates that address this
vulnerability. There are no workarounds to mitigate the vulnerability
apart from disabling H.323 if the device that is running Cisco IOS
Software does not need to run H.323 for VoIP services.
This advisory is posted at:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20090923-h323.shtml
Note: The September 23, 2009, Cisco IOS Security Advisory bundled
publication includes eleven Security Advisories. Ten of the
advisories address vulnerabilities in Cisco IOS Software, and one
advisory addresses a vulnerability in Cisco Unified Communications
Manager. 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.

Affected Products
=================
Vulnerable Products
+------------------
Cisco devices that are running affected Cisco IOS Software versions
that are configured to process H.323 messages are affected by this
vulnerability. H.323 is not enabled by default.
To determine the Cisco IOS Software device is running H.323 services
use the "show process cpu | include 323" command, as shown in the
following example:
Router#show process cpu | include 323
249 16000 3 5333 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0 CCH323_CT
250 0 1 0 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0 CCH323_DNS
Router#
Note: Only H.323 listening port TCP 1720 is affected.
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)

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)

Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
+--------------------------------
Cisco IOS XE and Cisco IOS XR Software are not affected by this
vulnerability. No other Cisco products are currently known to be
affected by this vulnerability.
Details
=======
H.323 is the ITU standard for real-time multimedia communications and
conferencing over packet-based (IP) networks. A subset of the H.323
standard is H.225.0, a standard used for call signalling protocols
and media stream packetization over IP networks.
The H.323 implementation in Cisco IOS Software contains a
vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability remotely by
sending an H.323 crafted packet to the affected device that is
running Cisco IOS Software. A TCP three-way handshake is needed to
exploit this vulnerability.
This vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCsz38104 and has
been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID CVE-2009-2866.
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
CSCsz38104 - Crafted H323 packets may cause device to reload
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 described in this
document may cause the affected device to reload. The issue could be
exploited repeatedly to cause an extended 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 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.

Note: No Cisco IOS-XE Software or Cisco IOS Software Modularity
releases are affected by this vulnerability.
Workarounds
===========
There are no workarounds to mitigate the vulnerability apart from
disabling H.323 if the Cisco IOS device does not need to run H.323
for VoIP services. Affected devices that must run H.323 are
vulnerable, and there are not any specific configurations that can be
used to protect them. Applying access lists on interfaces that should
not accept H.323 traffic and putting firewalls in strategic locations
may greatly reduce exposure until an upgrade can be performed.
Cisco provides Solution Reference Network Design (SRND) guides to
help design and deploy networking solutions, which can be found at
http://www.cisco.com/go/srnd Voice Security best practices are
covered in the Cisco Unified Communications SRND Based on Cisco
Unified Communications Manager 6.x at:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/srnd/6x/security.html
Below is an example of an access list to block H.323 management
traffic from anywhere but a permitted network. In this example, the
permitted network is 172.16.0.0/16.
!--- Permit access from any IP address in the 172.16.0.0/16
!--- network to anywhere on port 1720.
access-list 101 permit tcp 172.16.0.0 0.0.255.255 any eq 1720
!--- Permit access from anywhere to a host in the
!--- 172.16.0.0/26 network on port 1720.
access-list 101 permit tcp any 172.16.0.0 0.0.255.255 eq 1720
!--- Deny all traffic from port 1720.
access-list 101 deny tcp any eq 1720 any
!--- Deny all traffic to port 1720.
access-list 101 deny tcp any any eq 1720
!--- Permit all other traffic.
access-list 101 permit ip any any
Alternatively, you can use the "call service stop forced" command under
the "voice service voip" mode, as shown in the following example:
voice service voip
h323
call service stop forced
Additional mitigations that can be deployed on Cisco devices within
the network are available in the companion document "Cisco Applied
Mitigation Bulletin: Identifying and Mitigating Exploitation of the
Denial of Service Vulnerabilities in Cisco Unified Communications
Manager and Cisco IOS Software", which is available at the following
location:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-amb-20090923-voice.shtml
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/docs/general/warranty/English/EU1KEN_.html
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
+----------------------------------
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)
* +1 408 526 7209 (toll call from anywhere in the world)
* e-mail: tac(a)cisco.com
Customers should have their product serial number available and be
prepared to give the URL of this notice as evidence of entitlement to
a free upgrade. Free upgrades for non-contract customers must be
requested through the TAC.
Refer to:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/support/tsd_cisco_worldwide_contacts.html
for additional TAC contact information, including localized telephone
numbers, and instructions and e-mail addresses for use in various
languages.

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.
Only devices that are configured with Cisco IOS Zone-Based Policy
Firewall SIP inspection (UDP port 5060, TCP ports 5060, and 5061) are
vulnerable. Cisco IOS devices that are configured with legacy Cisco
IOS Firewall Support for SIP (context-based access control (CBAC))
are not vulnerable.
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)

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. The following is an example of a device that supports
Cisco IOS Firewall but does not have SIP inspection enabled:
Router#show policy-map type inspect zone-pair | include atch: access|protocol sip
Router#

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.
SIP inspection in the Cisco IOS Firewall provides basic SIP inspect
functionality (SIP packet inspection and pinhole opening) as well as
protocol conformance and application security.
Cisco IOS Software that is configured with Cisco IOS Zone-Based
Policy Firewall SIP inspection are vulnerable to a DoS attack when
processing a specific SIP transit packet. Exploitation of this
vulnerability will result in a reload of the affected device.
Cisco IOS Zone-Based Policy Firewall SIP inspection was first
introduced in Cisco IOS Software versions 12.4(15)XZ and 12.4(20)T.
Cisco IOS Firewall CBAC support for SIP inspection by way of the "ip
inspect name [inspection_name] sip" is not vulnerable. Additional
information regarding Cisco IOS Firewall CBAC support for SIP
inspection is available in the document "Firewall Support for SIP" at
the following link:

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.

Cisco Security Advisory: Cisco IOS Software Internet Key Exchange
Resource Exhaustion Vulnerability
Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20090923-ipsec
Revision 1.0
For Public Release 2009 September 23
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary
=======
Cisco IOS� devices that are configured for Internet Key Exchange
(IKE) protocol and certificate based authentication are vulnerable to
a resource exhaustion attack. Successful exploitation of this
vulnerability may result in the allocation of all available Phase 1
security associations (SA) and prevent the establishment of new IPsec
sessions.
Cisco has released free software updates that address this
vulnerability.
This advisory is posted at:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20090923-ipsec.shtml
Note: The September 23, 2009, Cisco IOS Security Advisory bundled
publication includes eleven Security Advisories. Ten of the
advisories address vulnerabilities in Cisco IOS Software, and one
advisory addresses a vulnerability in Cisco Unified Communications
Manager. 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.

Cisco IOS Software Advisory Bundled Publication" at the following
link:
http://www.cisco.com/web/about/security/intelligence/Cisco_ERP_sep09.html
Affected Products
=================
Cisco IOS devices that are configured for IKE and certificate based
authentication are affected.
Vulnerable Products
+------------------
IKE is enabled by default if IPsec is used. Cisco IOS devices that
are configured for IKE will listen on UDP port 500, UDP port 4500 if
the device is configured for NAT Traversal (NAT-T), or UDP ports 848
or 4848 if the device is configured for Group Domain of
Interpretation (GDOI). The following outputs show a router that is
listening on UDP port 500:
Router#show ip sockets
Proto Remote Port Local Port In Out Stat TTY OutputIF
....
17 --listen-- 192.168.66.129 500 0 0 11 0
....
Or
Router-#show udp
Proto Remote Port Local Port In Out Stat TTY OutputIF
17 --listen-- 192.0.2.1 500 0 0 1011 0
17(v6) --listen-- --any-- 500 0 0 20011 0
Router#
IKE configurations that are performing certificate based
authentication will display "Rivest-Shamir-Adleman Signature" as the
authentication method in the output of the "show crypto isakmp policy"
command. This output is shown in the following example:
Router#show crypto isakmp policy
Global IKE policy
Default protection suite
encryption algorithm: DES - Data Encryption Standard (56 bit keys).
hash algorithm: Secure Hash Standard
authentication method: Rivest-Shamir-Adleman Signature
Diffie-Hellman group: #1 (768 bit)
lifetime: 86400 seconds, no volume limit
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 6500 Series device that is
running Cisco IOS Software release 12.2(18)SXF7 with an installed
image name of s72033_rp-IPSERVICESK9_WAN-M:
Router#show version
Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software
IOS (tm) s72033_rp Software (s72033_rp-IPSERVICESK9_WAN-M), Version 12.2(18)SXF7, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
+--------------------------------
Cisco IOS XR Software is not affected by this vulnerability.
No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by this
vulnerability.
Details
=======
IPsec is an IP security feature that provides robust authentication
and encryption of IP packets. IKE is a key management protocol
standard that is used in conjunction with the IPsec standard.
IKE is a hybrid protocol that implements the Oakley and SKEME key
exchanges inside the Internet Security Association and Key Management
Protocol (ISAKMP) framework. (ISAKMP, Oakley, and SKEME are security
protocols that are implemented by IKE.). More information on IKE is
available at the following link:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_1/security/configuration/guide/scdik…
A vulnerability exists in the IKE implementation of Cisco IOS
Software, if the certificate based authentication method is used.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in the
allocation of all available Phase 1 SAs, which may prevent new IPSec
sessions from being established.
Administrators can view Phase 1 SAs that are allocated as a result of
exploitation by issuing the "show crypto isakmp sa" command. The
following example displays sample output for this command:
Router#show crypto isakmp sa
IPv4 Crypto ISAKMP SA
dst src state conn-id slot status
10.48.66.77 10.48.66.6 MM_KEY_EXCH 1004 ACTIVE
10.48.66.77 10.48.66.6 MM_KEY_EXCH 1003 ACTIVE
10.48.66.77 10.48.66.6 MM_KEY_EXCH 1002 ACTIVE
....
Any allocated SA can be de-allocated up manually by using the "clear
crypto isakmp <conn-ID>" command.
This vulnerability is addressed by the Cisco Bug IDs CSCsy07555 and
CSCee72997 and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
(CVE) ID CVE-2009-2868.

======
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in the
allocation of all available Phase 1 SAs, which may prevent new IPsec
sessions from being established.
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.

Affected Products
=================
Vulnerable Products
+------------------
Cisco IOS Software devices are vulnerable if they support NTPv4 and
are configured for NTP operations. NTP is not enabled in Cisco IOS
Software by default.
To see if a device supports NTPv4, log into the device and via
configuration mode of the command line interface (CLI), enter the
command "ntp peer 127.0.0.1 version ?". If the output has the number "4"
as an option, then the device supports NTPv4. The following example
identifies a Cisco device that is running a Cisco IOS Software
release that does support NTPv4:
Router#configure terminal
Router(config)#ntp peer 127.0.0.1 version ?
<2-4> NTP version number
The following example identifies a Cisco device that is running a
Cisco IOS Software release that does not support NTPv4:
Router(config)#ntp peer 127.0.0.1 version ?
<1-3> NTP version number
To see if a device is configured with NTP, log into the device and
issue the CLI command "show running-config | include ntp". If the
output returns either of the following commands listed then the
device is vulnerable:
ntp master <any following commands>
ntp peer <any following commands>
ntp server <any following commands>
ntp broadcast client
ntp multicast client
The following example identifies a Cisco device that is configured
with NTP:
router#show running-config | include ntp
ntp peer 192.168.0.12
The following example identifies a Cisco device that is not
configured with NTP:
router#show running-config | include ntp
router#
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)

Software release 12.4(20)T with an image name of
C1841-ADVENTERPRISEK9-M:
Router#show version

Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
+--------------------------------
The following products and features are not affected by this
vulnerability:
* Cisco IOS Software devices without support for NTPv4
* Cisco IOS Software devices configured with only Simple NTP (SNTP)
feature
* Cisco IOS XE Software
* Cisco IOS XR Software
No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by this
vulnerability.
Details
=======
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a protocol designed to
time-synchronize a network of machines. NTP runs over UDP, which in
turn runs over IP. NTPv3 is documented in RFC1305 leavingcisco.com .
NTPv4 is a significant revision of the NTP standard, and is the
current development version, but has not been formalized into an RFC
at the time of publication of this advisory. NTPv4 is currently
documented in draft-ietf-ntp-ntpv4-proto-11 leavingcisco.com
When a Cisco IOS Software device supporting NTPv4 receives a specific
NTP packet it will crash while creating the NTP reply packet. The NTP
packet can be sent from any remote device, and does not require
authentication. Cisco IOS devices supporting NTPv4 and configured
with NTP peer authentication are still vulnerable. The device does
not have to be explicitly configured for NTPv4 peers. For example a
device configured with all NTP peers being explicitly labeled as
version 2 would still be vulnerable, as shown in the following
example:
Router#show running-config | include ntp
ntp peer 192.168.0.254 version 2
ntp peer 192.168.0.1 version 2
Router#
For further information on the Cisco implementation of NTP, consult
the configuration guide "Cisco IOS and NX-OS Software - Performing
Basic System Management" at the following link:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/netmgmt/configuration/guide/nm_basic_sy…
This vulnerability is documented in the following Cisco Bug IDs:
CSCsu24505 and CSCsv75948 and has been assigned the Common Vulnerabilities
and Exposures (CVE) identifier CVE-2009-2869. Both Cisco bug IDs are
required for a full fix to this vulnerability.

of the device. The vulnerability could be repeatedly exploited to
cause an extended 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
===========
There are no workarounds other than disabling NTP on the device. The
following mitigations have been identified for this vulnerability;
only packets destined for any configured IP address on the device can
exploit this vulnerability. Transit traffic will not exploit this
vulnerability.
Note: NTP peer authentication is not a workaround and is still a
vulnerable configuration.
NTP Access Group
+---------------
Warning: Because the feature in this vulnerability utilizes
UDP as a transport, it is possible to spoof the sender's IP address,
which may defeat access control lists (ACLs) that permit
communication to these ports from trusted IP addresses. Unicast
Reverse Path Forwarding (Unicast RPF) should be considered to be used
in conjunction to offer a better mitigation solution.
!--- Configure trusted peers for allowed access
access-list 1 permit 171.70.173.55
!--- Apply ACE to the NTP configuration
ntp access-group 1
For additional information on NTP access control groups, consult the
document titled "Performing Basic System Management" at the following
link:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/netmgmt/configuration/guide/nm_basic_sy…
Infrastructure Access Control Lists
+----------------------------------
warning Warning: Because the feature in this vulnerability utilizes
UDP as a transport, it is possible to spoof the sender's IP address,
which may defeat ACLs that permit communication to these ports from
trusted IP addresses. Unicast RPF should be considered to be used in
conjunction to offer a better mitigation solution.
Although it is often difficult to block traffic that transits a
network, it is possible to identify traffic that should never be
allowed to target infrastructure devices and block that traffic at
the border of networks. Infrastructure ACLs (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 below should be included as
part of the deployed infrastructure access-list, which will help
protect all devices with IP addresses in the infrastructure IP
address range:
!---
!--- Feature: Network Time Protocol (NTP)
!---
access-list 150 permit udp TRUSTED_SOURCE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD
INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 123
!--- Note: If the router is acting as a NTP broadcast client
!--- via the interface command "ntp broadcast client"
!--- then broadcast and directed broadcasts must be

Control Plane Policing
+---------------------
Warning: Because the feature in this vulnerability utilizes UDP as a
transport, it is possible to spoof the sender's IP address, which may
defeat ACLs that permit communication to these ports from trusted IP
addresses. Unicast RPF should be considered to be used in conjunction
to offer a better mitigation solution.
Control Plane Policing (CoPP) can be used to block untrusted UDP
traffic to the device. Cisco IOS software releases 12.0S, 12.2SX,
12.2S, 12.3T, 12.4, and 12.4T support the CoPP feature. CoPP can be
configured on a device to help protect the management and control
planes and minimize the risk and effectiveness of direct
infrastructure attacks by explicitly permitting only authorized
traffic that is sent to infrastructure devices in accordance with
existing security policies and configurations. The CoPP example below
should be included as part of the deployed CoPP, which will help
protect all devices with IP addresses in the infrastructure IP
address range.
!--- Feature: Network Time Protocol (NTP)
access-list 150 deny udp TRUSTED_SOURCE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD

!--- Deny NTP traffic from all other sources destined
!--- to the device control plane.
access-list 150 permit udp any any eq 123
!--- 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

!--- Apply the Policy-Map to the
!--- Control-Plane of the device

service-policy input drop-udp-traffic
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. Please note that the
policy-map syntax is different in the 12.2S and 12.0S Cisco IOS
Software trains:
policy-map drop-udp-traffic
class drop-udp-class
police 32000 1500 1500 conform-action drop exceed-action drop

Cisco Security Advisory: Cisco IOS Software Session Initiation
Protocol Denial of Service Vulnerability
Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20090923-sip
Revision 1.0
For Public Release 2009 September 23
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary
=======
A vulnerability exists in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
implementation in Cisco IOS� Software that could allow an
unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition
on an affected device when the Cisco Unified Border Element feature
is enabled.
Cisco has released free software updates that address this
vulnerability. For devices that must run SIP there are no
workarounds; however, mitigations are available to limit exposure of
the vulnerability.
This advisory is posted at:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20090923-sip.shtml
Note: The September 23, 2009, Cisco IOS Security Advisory bundled
publication includes eleven Security Advisories. Ten of the
advisories address vulnerabilities in Cisco IOS Software, and one
advisory addresses a vulnerability in Cisco Unified Communications
Manager. 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

Affected Products
=================
This vulnerability only affects devices running Cisco IOS Software
with SIP voice services enabled.
Vulnerable Products
+------------------
Cisco devices running affected Cisco IOS Software versions that are
configured to process SIP messages with the Cisco Unified Border
Element feature are affected. Cisco IOS devices that are not
configured for SIP and Cisco Unified Border Element feature are not
affected by this vulnerability.
Note: Cisco Unified Border Element feature (previously known as the
Cisco Multiservice IP-to-IP Gateway) is a special Cisco IOS Software
image that runs on Cisco multiservice gateway platforms. It provides
a network-to-network interface point for billing, security, call
admission control, quality of service, and signaling interworking.
Cisco Unified Border Element feature requires the "voice service voip"
command and the "allow-connections" subcommand. An example of an
affected configuration is as follows:
voice service voip
allow-connections from-type to to-type
...
!
Recent versions of Cisco IOS Software do not process SIP messages by
default. Creating a dial peer by issuing the command "dial-peer voice"
will start the SIP processes, causing the Cisco IOS device to process
SIP messages. In addition, several features within Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Express, such as ePhones, once configured will
also automatically start the SIP process, which will cause the device
to start processing SIP messages. An example of an affected
configuration is as follows:
dial-peer voice <Voice dial-peer tag> voip
...
!
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 the command show processes | include SIP
to determine whether Cisco IOS Software is running the processes that
handle SIP messages. In the following example, the presence of the
processes CCSIP_UDP_SOCKET or CCSIP_TCP_SOCKET indicates that the
Cisco IOS device is processing SIP messages:
Router#show processes | include SIP
149 Mwe 40F48254 4 1 400023108/24000 0 CCSIP_UDP_SOCKET
150 Mwe 40F48034 4 1 400023388/24000 0 CCSIP_TCP_SOCKET
warning Warning: Since there are several ways a device running Cisco
IOS Software can start processing SIP messages, it is recommended
that the "show processes | include SIP" command be used to determine
whether the device is processing SIP messages instead of relying on
the presence of specific configuration commands.
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)

Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
+--------------------------------
The SIP Application Layer Gateway (ALG), which is used by the Cisco
IOS NAT and firewall features of Cisco IOS Software, is not affected
by this vulnerability. Cisco IOS XE Software and Cisco IOS XR
Software are not affected by this vulnerability. No other Cisco
products are currently known to be affected by this vulnerability.
Details
=======
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 has the flexibility to accommodate 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.
The Cisco Unified Border Element (previously known as the Cisco
Multiservice IP-to-IP Gateway) is a special Cisco IOS Software image
that runs on Cisco multiservice gateway platforms. It provides a
network-to-network interface point for billing, security, call
admission control, quality of service, and signaling interworking.
For more information about Cisco Unified Border Element refer to the
following link:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps5640/index.html
A DoS vulnerability exists in the SIP implementation in Cisco IOS
Software when devices are running a Cisco IOS image that contains the
Cisco Unified Border Element feature. This vulnerability is triggered
by processing a series of crafted SIP messages.
This vulnerability is documented in Cisco Bug ID CSCsx25880 and has been
assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID CVE-2009-2870.

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 requires SIP for VoIP services, SIP
cannot be disabled, and therefore, no workarounds are available.
Users are advised to apply mitigation techniques to help limit
exposure to the vulnerability. Mitigation consists of allowing only
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 companion document "Cisco Applied
Mitigation Bulletin: Identifying and Mitigating Exploitation of the
Denial of Service Vulnerabilities in Cisco Unified Communications
Manager and Cisco IOS Software", which is available at the following
location:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-amb-20090923-voice.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 Software allow administrators to
accomplish this with the following commands:
sip-ua
no transport udp
no transport tcp
no transport tcp tls
Warning: When applying this workaround to devices that are
processing Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) or H.323 calls, the
device will not 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.
The "show udp connections", "show tcp brief all", and "show processes |
include SIP" commands can be used to confirm that the SIP UDP and TCP
ports are closed after applying this workaround.
Depending on the Cisco IOS Software version in use, the output of
"show ip sockets" still showed UDP port 5060 open, but sending
something to that port caused the SIP process to emit the following
message:
*Feb 2 11:36:47.691: sip_udp_sock_process_read: SIP UDP Listener is
DISABLED
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 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 the 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 use UDP as a transport protocol, it
is possible to easily spoof the IP address of the sender, which may
defeat access control lists that permit communication to these ports
from trusted IP addresses.
In the above CoPP example, the access control 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/web/about/security/intelligence/coppwp_gs.html
and

Affected Products
=================
Vulnerable Products
+------------------
Devices running affected versions of Cisco IOS Software are
susceptible if configured with any of the following features:
* Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Virtual Private Network (VPN)
* Secure Shell (SSH)
* Internet Key Exchange (IKE) Encrypted Nonces
Note: Other SSL/HTTPS related features than WebVPN and SSL VPN are
not affected by this vulnerability.
To determine whether SSLVPN is enabled on a device, log in to the
device and issue the command-line interface (CLI) command "show
running-config | include webvpn". If the device returns any output
then SSLVPN is configured and the device may be vulnerable.
Vulnerable configurations vary depending on whether the device is
supporting Cisco IOS WebVPN (introduced in Release 12.3(14)T) or
Cisco IOS SSLVPNs (introduced in Release 12.4(6)T). The following
methods describe how to confirm if the device is vulnerable:
If the output from "show running-config | include webvpn" contains
"webvpn enable" then the device is configured with the original Cisco
IOS WebVPN. The only way to determine whether the device is
vulnerable is to examine the output of "show running-config" to
confirm that webvpn is enabled via the command "webvpn enable" and
that a "ssl trustpoint" has been configured. The following example
shows a vulnerable device configured with Cisco IOS WebVPN:
webvpn enable
!
webvpn
ssl trustpoint TP-self-signed-29742012
If the output from "show running-config | include webvpn" contains
"webvpn gateway <word>" then the device is supporting the Cisco IOS
SSLVPN feature. A device is vulnerable if it has the "inservice"
command in at least one of the "webvpn gateway" sections. The
following example shows a vulnerable device configured with Cisco IOS
SSLVPN:
Router# show running | section webvpn
webvpn gateway Gateway
ip address 10.1.1.1 port 443
ssl trustpoint Gateway-TP
inservice
!
Router#
A device that supports the Cisco IOS SSLVPN is not vulnerable if it
has no "webvpn gateways" configured or all the configured "webvpn
gateways" contain the "no inservice" webvpn gateway command.
To determine if SSH is enabled use the "show ip ssh" command, as shown
in the following example:
Router#show ip ssh
SSH Enabled - version 1.99
Authentication timeout: 120 secs; Authentication retries: 3
Minimum expected Diffie Hellman key size : 1024 bits
To determine if the IKE encrypted nonces feature is enabled, use the
"show running-config | include rsa-encr" command as follows:
Router#show running-config | inc rsa-encr
authentication rsa-encr
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)

affected by this vulnerability.
Cisco IOS XR Software is not affected by this vulnerability.
No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by this
vulnerability.
Details
=======
A Cisco IOS device that is configured for SSLVPN or SSH may reload
when it receives a specially crafted TCP packet on TCP port 443
(SSLVPN) or TCP port 22 (SSH). Completion of the three-way handshake
to the associated TCP port number of these features is required for
the vulnerability to be successfully exploited; however,
authentication is not required. A Cisco IOS device that is configured
for IKE encrypted nonces may reload when it receives a specially
crafted UDP packet on port 500 or 4500 (if configured for NAT
Traversal (NAT-T)).
This vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCsq24002 and has
been assigned the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) identifier
CVE-2009-2871.

repeatedly exploited to cause an extended 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
===========
There are no available workarounds other than disabling the affected
features and protecting SSH access with the use of VTY access control
lists.
Use the "no webvpn enable" command to disable SSL VPN use.
For Cisco IOS the SSH server can be disabled by applying the command
"crypto key zeroize rsa" while in configuration mode. The SSH server is
enabled automatically upon generating an RSA key pair. Zeroing the
RSA keys is the only way to completely disable the SSH server.
Access to the SSH server on Cisco IOS Software may also be disabled
by removing SSH as a valid transport protocol. This action can be
done by reapplying the transport input command with 'ssh' removed
from the list of permitted transports on vty lines while in
configuration mode. For example:
line vty 0 4
transport input telnet
end
If SSH server functionality is desired, access to the server can be
restricted to specific source IP addresses or blocked entirely
through the use of Access Control Lists (ACLs) on the vty lines as
shown in the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst2950/software/release/…
More information on configuring ACLs can be found on Cisco's public
website:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/secursw/ps1018/products_tech_note091…
The following is an example of a vty access-list:
access-list 2 permit 10.1.1.0 0.0.0.255
access-list 2 deny any
line vty 0 4
access-class 2 in
In the previous example, only the 10.1.1.0/24 network is allowed to
SSH to the Cisco IOS device.
To disable IKE encrypted nonces use the "no authentication rsa-encr"
command under an ISAKMP policy, as shown in the following example:
crypto isakmp policy
no authentication rsa-encr
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/docs/general/warranty/English/EU1KEN_.html
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
+----------------------------------
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)
* +1 408 526 7209 (toll call from anywhere in the world)
* e-mail: tac(a)cisco.com
Customers should have their product serial number available and be
prepared to give the URL of this notice as evidence of entitlement to
a free upgrade. Free upgrades for non-contract customers must be
requested through the TAC.
