TITLE

Cisco IOS and Unified Communications Manager of SIP In implementation SIP Service disruption related to message processing (DoS) Vulnerabilities

DESCRIPTION

Unspecified vulnerability in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) implementation in Cisco IOS 12.2 through 12.4 and Unified Communications Manager 4.1 through 6.1, when VoIP is configured, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device or process reload) via unspecified valid SIP messages, aka Cisco Bug ID CSCsm46064, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-3800 and CVE-2008-3802. The problem is Bug ID : CSCsm46064 It is a problem. this is CVE-2008-3800 and CVE-2008-3802 Is a different vulnerability.Service operation disrupted by a third party (DoS) There is a possibility of being put into a state. Cisco Unified Communications Manager is prone to multiple denial-of-service vulnerabilities. These issues affect the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) service. These issues are documented by Cisco bug IDs CSCsu38644 and CSCsm46064. An attacker can exploit these issues to cause denial-of-service conditions in the affected application. Cisco IOS is the Internet operating system used on Cisco networking equipment. A remote attacker causes a denial of service by unidentifying a valid SIP message. An exploit of these vulnerabilities may cause an interruption in voice services. Cisco will release free software updates that address these vulnerabilities and this advisory will be updated as fixed software becomes available. There are no workarounds for these vulnerabilities. Note: Cisco IOS software is also affected by the vulnerabilities described in this advisory. The software version can also be determined by running the command show version active via the command line interface. In Cisco Unified CallManager version 4.x, the use of SIP as a call signaling protocol is not enabled by default, and for the Cisco Unified CallManager server to start listening for SIP messages on TCP and UDP ports 5060 and 5061 a SIP trunk needs to be configured. A companion security advisory for Cisco IOS software is available at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20080924-sip.shtml Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable +-------------------------------- With the exception of Cisco IOS software, no other Cisco products are currently known to be vulnerable to the issues described in this advisory. Cisco Unified CallManager version 4.x is not affected by these vulnerabilities if it does not have any SIP trunks configured. Details ======= Cisco Unified Communications Manager is the call processing component of the Cisco IP Telephony solution that extends enterprise telephony features and functions to packet telephony network devices, such as IP phones, media processing devices, voice-over-IP gateways, and multimedia applications. SIP is a popular signaling protocol that is used to manage voice and video calls across IP networks such as the Internet. SIP is responsible for handling all aspects of call setup and termination. Voice and video are the most popular types of sessions that SIP handles, but the protocol is flexible to accommodate for other applications that require call setup and termination. SIP call signaling can use UDP (port 5060), TCP (port 5060), or TLS (TCP port 5061) as the underlying transport protocol. Version 4.x of Cisco Unified CallManager do not have SIP enabled by default unless a SIP trunk is configured. The vulnerabilities are being tracked by the following Cisco bug IDs: * CSCsu38644, assigned CVE ID CVE-2008-3800 * CSCsm46064, assigned CVE ID CVE-2008-3801 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 CSCsu38644 - Valid SIP message can cause CCM process to crash CVSS Base Score - 7.1 Access Vector - Network Access Complexity - Medium Authentication - None Confidentiality Impact - None Integrity Impact - None Availability Impact - Complete CVSS Temporal Score - 5.9 Exploitability - Functional Remediation Level - Official-Fix Report Confidence - Confirmed CSCsm46064 - Problem when CUCM sends out SIP message with valid header 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 vulnerabilities described in this advisory may result in a reload of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager process, which could result in the interruption 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. Cisco Unified CallManager version 4.1(3)SR8 contains fixes for all vulnerabilities affecting Cisco Unified CallManager version 4.1 listed in this advisory, and is scheduled to be released in early October 2008. Workarounds =========== There are no workarounds for these vulnerabilities. It is possible to mitigate the vulnerabilities by implementing filtering on screening devices. To change the ports from their default values, log into the Cisco Unified CallManager Administration web interface, go to System > Cisco Unified CM, locate the appropriate Cisco Unified Communications Manager, change the fields SIP Phone Port and SIP Phone Secure Port to a non-standard port, then click Save. SIP Phone Port, by default 5060, refers to the TCP and UDP ports where the Cisco Unified Communications Manager listens for normal SIP messages, and SIP Phone Secure Port, by default 5061, refers to the TCP and UDP ports where the Cisco Unified Communications Manager listens for SIP over TLS messages. Note: For a change of the SIP ports to take effect, the Cisco CallManager Service needs to be restarted. For information on how to accomplish this, refer to "Restarting the Cisco CallManager Service" at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucmbe/admin/7_0_1/ccmcfg/b03dpi.html#wp1075124 Additional mitigations that can be deployed on Cisco devices within the network are available in the Cisco Applied Mitigation Bulletin companion document for this advisory, which is available at the following link: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-amb-20080924-sip.shtml Obtaining Fixed Software ======================== Cisco has released free software updates that address these vulnerabilities.

Successful exploitation requires that the device is configured with Network Address Translation (NAT) SCCP Fragmentation Support. 6) An unspecified error in the IOS Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) feature when processing certain IPS signatures that use the SERVICE.DNS engine can be exploited to cause a DoS via specially crafted network traffic. 7) A security issue exists in the processing of extended communities with Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Virtual Private Networks (VPN), which can lead to traffic leaking from one MPLS VPN to another. NOTE: This security issue was introduced with CSCee83237. 8) An unspecified error within the Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Forwarding Infrastructure (MFI) can be exploited to cause a DoS via specially crafted network packets. Successful exploitation requires access to the MPLS network. 9) An unspecified error within the Application Inspection Control (AIC) can be exploited to cause a reload of an affected device via specially crafted HTTP packets. 10) An unspecified error in the processing of Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) packets can be exploited to cause an affected device to reload via a specially crafted L2TP packets. Successful exploitation requires that the L2TP mgmt daemon process is running. This process may be enabled e.g. via Layer 2 virtual private networks (L2VPN), Layer 2 Tunnel Protocol Version 3 (L2TPv3), Stack Group Bidding Protocol (SGBP), or Cisco Virtual Private Dial-Up Networks (VPDN). 11) An unspecified error exists in the processing of IPC messages. This can be exploited to reload an affected device via a specially crafted UDP packet sent to port 1975. This vulnerability is reported in Cisco 10000, uBR10012, and uBR7200 series devices. 12) A security issue is caused due to the device automatically enabling SNMP with a default community string, which can be exploited to gain control an affected system. Successful exploitation requires that a device is configured for linecard redundancy. SOLUTION: Update to the fixed version (please see the vendor's advisories for details).
