Cisco IOS of TCP Service disruption related to packet processing (DoS) Vulnerabilities

DESCRIPTION

The (1) Airline Product Set (aka ALPS), (2) Serial Tunnel Code (aka STUN), (3) Block Serial Tunnel Code (aka BSTUN), (4) Native Client Interface Architecture (NCIA) support, (5) Data-link switching (aka DLSw), (6) Remote Source-Route Bridging (RSRB), (7) Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), (8) X.25 for Record Boundary Preservation (RBP), (9) X.25 over TCP (XOT), and (10) X.25 Routing features in Cisco IOS 12.2 and 12.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device reload) via a series of crafted TCP packets. Cisco IOS Is TCP There is a defect in packet processing, so when one of the following functions is enabled, service operation is interrupted. (DoS) There is a vulnerability that becomes a condition. Multiple features of Cisco IOS (Internetwork Operating System) are prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability when handling specially crafted TCP packets. An attacker can exploit this issue to trigger an affected device to reload, causing denial-of-service conditions. This issue is documented by Cisco Bug ID CSCsr29468. A sequence of specially crafted TCP packets can cause the vulnerable device to reload. Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability. Several mitigation strategies are outlined in the workarounds section of this advisory. This advisory is posted at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20090325-tcp.shtml Note: The March 25, 2009, Cisco IOS Security Advisory bundled publication includes eight Security Advisories. All of the advisories address vulnerabilities in Cisco IOS Software. Each advisory lists the releases that correct the vulnerability or vulnerabilities in the advisory. The following table lists releases that correct all Cisco IOS Software vulnerabilities that have been published in Cisco Security Advisories on March 25, 2009, or earlier. 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) Technical Support: http://www.cisco.com/techsupport Copyright (c) 1986-2008 by cisco Systems, Inc.

Infrastructure Access Control Lists (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 these specific vulnerabilities. The iACL example below should be included as part of the deployed infrastructure access-list which will protect all devices with IP addresses in the infrastructure IP address range: !--- !--- Only sections pertaining to features enabled on the device !--- need be configured. !--- !--- Feature: ALPS !--- access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 350 access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 10000 !--- !--- Deny ALPS TCP traffic from all other sources destined !--- to infrastructure addresses. !--- access-list 150 deny tcp any INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 350 access-list 150 deny tcp any INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 10000 !--- !--- Feature: STUN !--- access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 1994 access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD range 1990 1992 !--- !--- Deny STUN TCP traffic from all other sources destined !--- to infrastructure addresses. !--- access-list 150 deny tcp any INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 1994 access-list 150 deny tcp any INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD range 1990 1992 !--- !--- Feature: BSTUN !--- access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 1963 access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD range 1976 1979 !--- !--- Deny BSTUN TCP traffic from all other sources destined !--- to infrastructure addresses. !--- access-list 150 deny tcp any INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 1963 access-list 150 deny tcp any INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD range 1976 1979 !--- !--- Feature: NCIA !--- !--- !--- Leverage the underlying protocols, DLSw, RSRB, etc. !--- !--- !--- Feature: DLSW !--- access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 2065 access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 2067 access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD range 1981 1983 !--- !--- Deny DLSW TCP traffic from all other sources destined !--- to infrastructure addresses. !--- access-list 150 deny tcp any INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 2065 access-list 150 deny tcp any INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 2067 access-list 150 deny tcp any INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD range 1981 1983 !--- !--- Feature: RSRB !--- access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD range 1987 1989 access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 1996 !--- !--- Deny RSRB TCP traffic from all other sources destined !--- to infrastructure addresses. !--- access-list 150 deny tcp any INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD range 1987 1989 access-list 150 deny tcp any INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 1996 !--- !--- Feature: PPTP !--- access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 1723 !--- !--- Deny PPTP TCP traffic from all other sources destined !--- to infrastructure addresses. !--- access-list 150 deny tcp any INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 1723 !--- !--- Feature: RBP !--- !--- RBP will listen for TCP connections on the configured port !--- as per "local port <port_number>".

This white paper can be obtained at the following link: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk361/technologies_white_paper09186a00801a1a55.shtml Receive ACLs (rACL) +------------------ For distributed platforms, Receive ACLs may be an option starting in Cisco IOS Software Versions 12.0(21)S2 for the 12000 (GSR), 12.0(24)S for the 7500, and 12.0(31)S for the 10720. The Receive ACL protects the device from harmful traffic before the traffic can impact the route processor. Receive ACLs are designed to only protect the device on which it is configured. On the 12000, 7500, and 10720, transit traffic is never affected by a receive ACL. Because of this, the destination IP address "any" used in the example ACL entries below only refer to the router's own physical or virtual IP addresses. Receive ACLs are considered 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 white paper entitled "Protecting Your Core: Infrastructure Protection Access Control Lists" presents guidelines and recommended deployment techniques for infrastructure protection access lists. This white paper can be obtained at the following link http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk361/technologies_white_paper09186a00801a0a5e.shtml The following is the receive path ACL written to permit this type of traffic from trusted hosts: !--- !--- Only sections pertaining to features enabled on the device !--- need be configured. !--- !--- !--- Permit ALPS traffic from trusted hosts allowed to the RP. !--- access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_SOURCE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD any eq 350 access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_SOURCE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD any eq 10000 !--- !--- Deny ALPS traffic from all other sources to the RP. !--- access-list 150 deny tcp any any eq 350 access-list 150 deny tcp any any eq 10000 !--- !--- Permit STUN traffic from trusted hosts allowed to the RP. !--- access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_SOURCE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD any eq 1994 access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_SOURCE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD any range 1990 1992 !--- !--- Deny STUN traffic from all other sources to the RP. !--- access-list 150 deny tcp any any eq 1994 access-list 150 deny tcp any any eq range 1990 1992 !--- !--- Permit BSTUN traffic from trusted hosts allowed to the RP. !--- access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_SOURCE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD any eq 1963 access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_SOURCE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD any range 1976 1979 !--- !--- Deny BSTUN traffic from all other sources to the RP. !--- access-list 150 deny tcp any any eq 1963 access-list 150 deny tcp any any eq range 1976 1979 !--- !--- Permit DLSw from trusted hosts allowed to the RP. !--- access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_SOURCE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD any eq 2065 access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_SOURCE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD any eq 2067 access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_SOURCE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD any range 1981 1983 !--- !--- Deny DLSw all other sources to the RP. !--- access-list 150 deny tcp any any eq 2065 access-list 150 deny tcp any any eq 2067 access-list 150 deny tcp any any range 1981 1983 !--- !--- Permit RSRB traffic from trusted hosts allowed to the RP. !--- access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_SOURCE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD any eq 1996 access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_SOURCE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD any range 1987 1989 !--- !--- Deny RSRB traffic from all other sources to the RP. !--- access-list 150 deny tcp any any eq 1996 access-list 150 deny tcp any any range 1987 1989 !--- !--- Permit PPTP traffic from trusted hosts allowed to the RP. !--- access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_SOURCE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD any eq 1723 !--- !--- Deny PPTP traffic from all other sources to the RP. !--- access-list 150 deny tcp any any eq 1723 !--- !--- Permit RBP traffic from trusted hosts allowed to the RP. !--- RBP will listen for TCP connections on the configured port !--- as per "local port <port_number>".

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 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 that will protect all devices with IP addresses in the infrastructure IP address range. !--- !--- Only sections pertaining to features enabled on the device !--- need be configured. !--- !--- Feature: ALPS !--- access-list 150 deny tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD any eq 350 access-list 150 deny tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD any eq 10000 !--- !--- Permit ALPS traffic sent to all IP addresses !--- configured on all interfaces of the affected device so !--- that it will be policed and dropped by the CoPP feature !--- access-list 150 permit tcp any any eq 350 access-list 150 permit tcp any any eq 10000 !--- !--- Feature: STUN !--- access-list 150 deny tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD any eq 1994 access-list 150 deny tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD any range 1990 1992 !--- !--- Permit STUN traffic sent to all IP addresses !--- configured on all interfaces of the affected device so !--- that it will be policed and dropped by the CoPP feature !--- access-list 150 permit tcp any any eq 1994 access-list 150 permit tcp any any range 1990 1992 !--- !--- Feature: BSTUN !--- access-list 150 deny tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD any eq 1963 access-list 150 deny tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD any range 1976 1979 !--- !--- Permit BSTUN traffic sent to all IP addresses !--- configured on all interfaces of the affected device so !--- that it will be policed and dropped by the CoPP feature !--- access-list 150 permit tcp any any eq 1963 access-list 150 permit tcp any any range 1976 1979 !--- !--- Feature: NCIA !--- !--- Leverage the underlying protocols, DLSw, RSRB, etc. !--- !--- !--- Feature: DLSW !--- access-list 150 deny tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD any eq 2065 access-list 150 deny tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD any eq 2067 access-list 150 deny tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD any range 1981 1983 !--- !--- Permit DLSW traffic sent to all IP addresses !--- configured on all interfaces of the affected device so !--- that it will be policed and dropped by the CoPP feature !--- access-list 150 permit tcp any any eq 2065 access-list 150 permit tcp any any eq 2067 access-list 150 permit tcp any any range 1981 1983 !--- !--- Feature: RSRB !--- access-list 150 deny tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD any range 1987 1989 access-list 150 deny tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD any eq 1996 !--- !--- Permit RSRB traffic sent to all IP addresses !--- configured on all interfaces of the affected device so !--- that it will be policed and dropped by the CoPP feature !--- access-list 150 permit tcp any any range 1987 1989 access-list 150 permit tcp any any eq 1996 !--- !--- Feature: PPTP !--- access-list 150 deny tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD any eq 1723 !--- !--- Permit PPTP traffic sent to all IP addresses !--- configured on all interfaces of the affected device so !--- that it will be policed and dropped by the CoPP feature !--- access-list 150 permit tcp any any eq 1723 !--- !--- Feature: RBP !--- !--- RBP will listen for TCP connections on the configured port !--- as per "local port <port_number>".
