-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Cisco Security Advisory: Cisco IOS MPLS Forwarding Infrastructure Denial of Service Vulnerability Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20080924-mfi http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20080924-mfi.shtml Revision 1.0 For Public Release 2008 September 24 1600 UTC (GMT) - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary ======= Cisco IOS Software Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Forwarding Infrastructure (MFI) is vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack from specially crafted packets. Only the MFI is affected by this vulnerability. Older Label Forwarding Information Base (LFIB) implementation, which is replaced by MFI, is not affected. Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability. This advisory is posted at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20080924-mfi.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: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20080924-bundle.shtml Individual publication links are listed below: * http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20080924-iosips.shtml * http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20080924-ssl.shtml * http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20080924-sip.shtml * http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20080924-cucm.shtml * http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20080924-vpn.shtml * http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20080924-ipc.shtml * http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20080924-ubr.shtml * http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20080924-multicast.shtml * http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20080924-sccp.shtml * http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20080924-iosfw.shtml * http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20080924-l2tp.shtml Affected Products ================= Devices that run Cisco IOS software (including those that support Cisco IOS Software Modularity) and support MFI are affected if they are configured for MPLS. Vulnerable Products +------------------ A device that runs Cisco IOS software and supports MFI will have mfi_ios in the output of the show subsys command. The following example shows output from a device that supports MFI: Router#show subsys name mfi_ios Class Version mfi_ios Protocol 1.000.001 Router# The following example shows output from a device that is configured for MPLS: Router#show mpls interface Interface IP Tunnel BGP Static Operational Ethernet0/0 Yes (ldp) No No No Yes Router# 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) Technical Support: http://www.cisco.com/techsupport Copyright (c) 1986-2007 by Cisco Systems, Inc. Compiled Tue 01-May-07 04:19 by prod_rel_team <output truncated> 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 +-------------------------------- Devices running Cisco IOS software versions that do not include MFI are not vulnerable. Devices that are not configured for MPLS are not vulnerable. Devices that are running Cisco IOS XR software are not vulnerable. No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by these vulnerabilities. Details ======= In newer versions of Cisco IOS software, a new packet forwarding infrastructure was introduced to improve scalability and performance. This forwarding infrastructure, called MFI, is transparent to the user. MFI manages MPLS data structures used for forwarding and replaces the older implementation, Label Forwarding Information Base (LFIB). Cisco IOS MFI implementation is vulnerable to a DoS attack from specially crafted packets that are handled in the software path, including transit packets that are handled in the software path. Such packets can be sent from the local segment to the interfaces that are configured for MPLS or via tunnel interfaces that are configured for MPLS. To target a remote system in an MPLS network, an attacker needs to have access to the MPLS network through an MPLS-enabled interface. MPLS packets are dropped on interfaces that are not configured for MPLS. Devices that support MFI will have mfi_ios in the output of the show subsys command. Interfaces that are enabled for MPLS can be seen by the show mpls interface command. More information on MFI can be found at the following link: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/mpls/configuration/guide/mp_lsc_removed.... This vulnerability is documented in the Cisco Bug ID CSCsk93241 and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID CVE-2008-3804. 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 http://intellishield.cisco.com/security/alertmanager/cvss CSCsk93241 - Chunk memory corruption on LFDp Input Proc 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 this vulnerability may result in the reload of the device, leading to a 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. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Major | Availability of Repaired Releases | | Release | | |------------+------------------------------------------------------| | Affected | | Recommended | | 12.0-Based | First Fixed Release | Release | | Releases | | | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| | There are no affected 12.0 based releases | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| | Affected | | Recommended | | 12.1-Based | First Fixed Release | Release | | Releases | | | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| | There are no affected 12.1 based releases | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| | Affected | | Recommended | | 12.2-Based | First Fixed Release | Release | | Releases | | | |------------+--------------------------------------+---------------| | 12.2 | Not Vulnerable | | |------------+--------------------------------------+---------------| | 12.2B | Not Vulnerable | | |------------+--------------------------------------+---------------| | 12.2BC | Not Vulnerable | | |------------+--------------------------------------+---------------| | 12.2BW | Not Vulnerable | | |------------+--------------------------------------+---------------| | 12.2BX | Not Vulnerable | | |------------+--------------------------------------+---------------| | 12.2BY | Not Vulnerable | | |------------+--------------------------------------+---------------| | 12.2BZ | Not Vulnerable | | |------------+--------------------------------------+---------------| | 12.2CX | Not Vulnerable | | |------------+--------------------------------------+---------------| | 12.2CY | Not Vulnerable | | |------------+--------------------------------------+---------------| | 12.2CZ | Not Vulnerable | | |------------+--------------------------------------+---------------| | 12.2DA | Not Vulnerable | | |------------+--------------------------------------+---------------| | 12.2DD | Not Vulnerable | | |------------+--------------------------------------+---------------| | 12.2DX | Not Vulnerable | | |------------+--------------------------------------+---------------| | 12.2EW | Not Vulnerable | | |------------+--------------------------------------+---------------| | 12.2EWA | Not Vulnerable | | |------------+--------------------------------------+---------------| | 12.2EX | Not Vulnerable | | |------------+--------------------------------------+---------------| | 12.2EY | 12.2(44)EY;

It can be disabled on interfaces where MPLS is not necessary and from which a potential attack can be launched. This action may help to limit the exposure of this vulnerability. If it is not possible to disable MPLS on interfaces from which an attack can be launched, there are no workarounds to mitigate this vulnerability. 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.
