TITLE

Cisco IOS denial-of-service vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

Unspecified vulnerability in the Multicast Virtual Private Network (MVPN) implementation in Cisco IOS 12.0, 12.2, 12.3, and 12.4 allows remote attackers to create "extra multicast states on the core routers" via a crafted Multicast Distribution Tree (MDT) Data Join message. A vulnerability in the way Cisco IOS handles IPv6 packets could result in a remotely exploitable denial of service. Information gained could aid in further attacks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A new version (0.9.0.0 - Release Candidate 1) of the free Secunia PSI has been released.

This can result in an exhaustion of the interface descriptor block (IDB) limit. Vulnerabilities #1 and #2 are reported in Cisco IOS versions prior to 12.3 with VPDN enabled. 3) Some errors exist in the Data-Link-Switching (DLSw) feature when processing UDP and IP protocol 91 packets. This can be exploited to cause a reload of the system or a memory leak. 4) An error exists in the processing of IPv6 packets, which can be exploited to prevent the interface from receiving additional traffic or to cause the device to crash (if RSVP service is configured on the interface) by sending a specially crafted IPv6 packet to the device. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that IPv6 and certain IPv4 UDP services are enabled. SOLUTION: Update to the fixed version (please see the vendor's advisories for details).

An IOS device that is configured for MVPN has a line that is similar to this in the running configuration example: mdt default <group-address> In order to determine the software that runs on a Cisco IOS product, log in to the device and issue the show version command to display the system banner. Cisco IOS\xae software identifies itself as "Internetwork Operating System Software" or simply "IOS." On the next line of output, the image name displays between parentheses, followed by "Version" and the Cisco IOS release name. Other Cisco devices do not have the "show version" command or give different output. The following example shows output from a device that runs an IOS image: Router>show version Cisco IOS Software, 7200 Software (C7200-IK9S-M), Version 12.3(14)T1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1) Technical Support: http://www.cisco.com/techsupport Copyright (c) 1986-2005 by Cisco Systems, Inc. Compiled Thu 31-Mar-05 08:04 by yiyan Additional information about Cisco IOS release naming is available at the following link: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1828/products_white_paper09186a008018305e.shtml. Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable +-------------------------------- No other Cisco products, including IOS XR software, are currently known to be affected by this vulnerability. Details ======= MVPN architecture introduces an additional set of protocols and procedures that help enable a service provider to support multicast traffic in an MPLS VPN. MVPN allows the transparent transport of IP multicast traffic across the MPLS VPN backbone of a provider and allows a service provider to offer multicast services to MPLS VPN customers. MDT Data Join messages can be sent in unicast or multicast. The vulnerability can also allow leaking multicast traffic from different MPLS VPNs. In order to successfully exploit this vulnerability, an attacker needs to know or guess the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) peering IP address of a remote PE router and the address of the multicast group that is used in other MPLS VPNs. This vulnerability is documented in the Cisco Bug ID CSCsi01470 and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID CVE-2008-1156. 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 CSCsi01470 - Crafted MDT Data Join TLV in VRF causes multicast state CVSS Base Score - 7.5 Access Vector: Network Access Complexity: Low Authentication: None Confidentiality Impact: Partial Integrity Impact: Partial Availability Impact: Partial CVSS Temporal Score - 6.2 Exploitability: Functional Remediation Level: Official-Fix Report Confidence: Confirmed Impact ====== Successful exploitation of the vulnerability can result in the creation of extra multicast states on the core routers or the leaking of multicast traffic from one MPLS VPN to another. 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 | | Release | Releases | |------------+---------------------------| | Affected | First Fixed | Recommended | | 12.0-Based | Release | Release | | Releases | | | |------------+-------------+-------------| | 12.0 | Not | | | | Vulnerable | | |------------+-------------+-------------| | 12.0DA | Not | | | | Vulnerable | | |------------+-------------+-------------| | 12.0DB | Not | | | | Vulnerable | | |------------+-------------+-------------| | 12.0DC | Not | | | | Vulnerable | | |------------+-------------+-------------| | | 12.0(32)S9 | | | 12.0S | | 12.0(32)S10 | | | 12.0(33)S | | |------------+-------------+-------------| | 12.0SC | Not | | | | Vulnerable | | |------------+-------------+-------------| | 12.0SL | Not | | | | Vulnerable | | |------------+-------------+-------------| | 12.0SP | Not | | | | Vulnerable | | |------------+-------------+-------------| | 12.0ST | Not | | | | Vulnerable | | |------------+-------------+-------------| | | Vulnerable;

The workarounds need to be applied on all Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) interfaces of all PE routers. Otherwise, attackers can target remote PE routers and can still exploit this vulnerability. Even if only one PE router in the network runs an unfixed version of IOS code, it is vulnerable to packets that come from systems that are connected to remote PE routers. In such a case, workarounds need to be deployed on all PE routers to successfully mitigate this vulnerability. The "mdt data <group> <mask>" or "mdt data <group> <mask> threshold <n> list <acl>" commands do not mitigate this vulnerability. Filtering Packets to UDP Port 3232 +--------------------------------- MDT Data Join messages are sent to UDP port 3232. Creating an access-list that filters destination UDP port 3232 and applying it on the VRF interface of the PE router mitigates this vulnerability. Such an access-list looks like this: access-list 100 deny udp any any eq 3232 access-list 100 permit ip any any interface Serial 0/0 ip vrf forwarding <vpn-1> ... ip access-group 100 in Note that this access-list can also filter legitimate traffic that is destined to UDP port 3232. In such a case, the access-list can be modified to be more specific by providing individual BGP peer IP addresses. This is explained in the section that follows. Filtering BGP Peer IP Addresses on the VRF Interface +--------------------------------------------------- In order to successfully exploit this vulnerability, an attacker needs to send MDT Data Join messages by spoofing the packets from the IP address of one of the existing iBGP peers. Because MDT Data Join messages are only used between PE routers, the packets from CE devices can safely be filtered. Creating an access-list that filters iBGP peer IP addresses as source addresses and applying it on the VRF interface of the PE router mitigates this vulnerability. The access-list needs to filter all iBGP peer IP addresses. Such an access-list looks like this example: access-list 100 deny udp host <ibgp-peer-1> any eq 3232 access-list 100 deny udp host <ibgp-peer-2> any eq 3232 ... access-list 100 deny udp host <ibgp-peer-n> any eq 3232 access-list 100 permit ip any any interface Serial 0/0 ip vrf forwarding <vpn-1> ... ip access-group 100 in Additional mitigation techniques that can be deployed on Cisco devices within the network are available in the Cisco Applied Mitigation Bulletin companion document for this advisory: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-amb-20080326-mvpn.shtml Obtaining Fixed Software ======================== Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability.

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@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.
