-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Cisco Security Advisory: Cisco IOS Software Smart Install Denial of Service Vulnerability Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20120328-smartinstall Revision 1.0 For Public Release 2012 March 28 16:00 UTC (GMT) +--------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary ======= Cisco IOS Software contains a vulnerability in the Smart Install feature that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a reload of an affected device if the Smart Install feature is enabled. The vulnerability is triggered when an affected device processes a malformed Smart Install message on TCP port 4786. Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds to mitigate this vulnerability. This advisory is available at the following link: http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-s... Note: The March 28, 2012, Cisco IOS Software Security Advisory bundled publication includes nine Cisco Security Advisories. Each advisory lists the Cisco IOS Software releases that correct the vulnerability or vulnerabilities detailed in the advisory as well as the Cisco IOS Software releases that correct all vulnerabilities in the March 2012 bundled publication. Individual publication links are in "Cisco Event Response: Semi-Annual Cisco IOS Software Security Advisory Bundled Publication" at the following link: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/security/intelligence/Cisco_ERP_mar12.html Affected Products ================= Vulnerable Products +------------------ Devices configured as a Smart Install client or director are affected by this vulnerability. To display Smart Install information, use the show vstack config privileged EXEC command on the Smart Install director or client. The outputs of show commands are different when entered on the director or on the client. The following is the output of show vstack config in a Cisco Catalyst Switch configured as a Smart Install client: switch#show vstack config Role: Client Vstack Director IP address: 10.1.1.163 The following is the output of show vstack config in a Cisco Catalyst Switch configured as a Smart Install director: Director# show vstack config Role: Director Vstack Director IP address: 10.1.1.163 Vstack Mode: Basic Vstack default management vlan: 1 Vstack management Vlans: none Vstack Config file: tftp://10.1.1.100/default-config.txt Vstack Image file: tftp://10.1.1.100/c3750e-universalk9-tar.122- Join Window Details: Window: Open (default) Operation Mode: auto (default) Vstack Backup Details: Mode: On (default) Repository: flash:/vstack (default) The Smart Install Feature is enabled by default. 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 15.0(1)M1 with an installed image name of C3900-UNIVERSALK9-M: Router> show version Cisco IOS Software, C3900 Software (C3900-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 15.0(1)M1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1) Technical Support: http://www.cisco.com/techsupport Copyright (c) 1986-2009 by Cisco Systems, Inc. Compiled Wed 02-Dec-09 17:17 by prod_rel_team !--- output truncated Additional information about Cisco IOS Software release naming conventions is available in "White Paper: Cisco IOS and NX-OS Software Reference Guide" at: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/security/intelligence/ios-ref.html Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable +-------------------------------- Cisco IOS XR Software is not affected by this vulnerability. Cisco IOS XE Software is not affected by this vulnerability. No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by this vulnerability. Details ======= Smart Install is a plug-and-play configuration and image-management feature that provides zero-touch deployment for new LAN Ethernet switches. This feature allows, for example, new LAN switches to be deployed at new locations without any configuration. A vulnerability exists in the Smart Install feature of Cisco IOS Software that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a reload of an affected device. Smart Install uses a Cisco proprietary protocol that runs over TCP port 4786. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker needs to establish a TCP session on port 4786 of an affected device that has the Smart Install feature enabled, and then send a malformed Smart Install message. This vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCtt16051 and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID CVE-2012-0385. Vulnerability Scoring Details ============================= Cisco has scored the vulnerability in this advisory based on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). The CVSS scoring in this security advisory is in accordance with CVSS version 2.0. CVSS is a standards-based scoring method that conveys vulnerability severity and helps organizations determine the urgency and priority of a response. Cisco has provided a base and temporal score. Customers can also compute environmental scores that help determine the impact of the vulnerability in their own networks. Cisco has provided additional information regarding CVSS at the following link: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/security/intelligence/cvss-qandas.html Cisco has also provided a CVSS calculator to compute the environmental impact for individual networks at the following link: http://intellishield.cisco.com/security/alertmanager/cvss * Cisco IOS Software Smart Install Denial of Service Vulnerability 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 that is described in this advisory may cause a reload of an affected device. Repeated exploitation could 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. Cisco IOS Software +----------------- Each row of the following Cisco IOS Software table corresponds to a Cisco IOS Software train. If a particular train is vulnerable, the earliest releases that contain the fix are listed in the First Fixed Release column. The First Fixed Release for All Advisories in the March 2012 Bundled Publication column lists the earliest possible releases that correct all the published vulnerabilities in the Cisco IOS Software Security Advisory bundled publication.

Obtaining Fixed Software ======================== Cisco has released free software updates that address the vulnerability described in this advisory. Prior to deploying software, customers are advised to consult their maintenance providers or check the software for feature set compatibility and known issues that are specific to their environments. Customers may only install and expect support for feature sets they have purchased. By installing, downloading, accessing, or otherwise using such software upgrades, customers agree to follow the terms of the Cisco software license at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/general/warranty/English/EU1KEN_.html or as set forth at http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/sw-usingswc.shtml Do not contact psirt@cisco.com or security-alert@cisco.com for software upgrades. Customers with Service Contracts +------------------------------- Customers with contracts should obtain upgraded software through their regular update channels. For most customers, upgrades should be obtained through the Software Center on Cisco.com at: http://www.cisco.com Customers Using Third-Party Support Organizations +------------------------------------------------ Customers with Cisco products that 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 organization for assistance with the appropriate course of action. The effectiveness of any workaround or fix depends on specific customer situations, such as product mix, network topology, traffic behavior, and organizational mission. Because of the variety of affected products and releases, customers should consult their service providers or support organizations to ensure that any applied workaround or fix is the most appropriate in the intended network before it is deployed.
