The problem is Bug ID : CSCsz38104 It is a problem.Cleverly crafted H.323 Service disruption due to packets (DoS) There is a possibility of being put into a state. Cisco IOS is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to cause the affected device to reload, denying service to legitimate users. This issue is being tracked by Cisco Bug ID CSCsz38104. Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds to mitigate the vulnerability apart from disabling H.323 if the device that is running Cisco IOS Software does not need to run H.323 for VoIP services. This advisory is posted at: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20090923-h323.shtml Note: The September 23, 2009, Cisco IOS Security Advisory bundled publication includes eleven Security Advisories. Each advisory lists the releases that correct the vulnerability or vulnerabilities detailed in the advisory. The following table lists releases that correct all Cisco IOS Software vulnerabilities that have been published on September 23, 2009, or earlier. http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20090923-bundle.shtml Individual publication links are in "Cisco Event Response: Semiannual Cisco IOS Software Advisory Bundled Publication" at the following link: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/security/intelligence/Cisco_ERP_sep09.html Affected Products ================= Vulnerable Products +------------------ Cisco devices that are running affected Cisco IOS Software versions that are configured to process H.323 messages are affected by this vulnerability. H.323 is not enabled by default. To determine the Cisco IOS Software device is running H.323 services use the "show process cpu | include 323" command, as shown in the following example: Router#show process cpu | include 323 249 16000 3 5333 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0 CCH323_CT 250 0 1 0 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0 CCH323_DNS Router# Note: Only H.323 listening port TCP 1720 is affected. 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.

No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by this vulnerability. Details ======= H.323 is the ITU standard for real-time multimedia communications and conferencing over packet-based (IP) networks. A subset of the H.323 standard is H.225.0, a standard used for call signalling protocols and media stream packetization over IP networks. A TCP three-way handshake is needed to exploit this vulnerability. Vulnerability Scoring Details ============================= Cisco has provided scores for the vulnerability 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 CSCsz38104 - Crafted H323 packets may cause device to reload 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 described in this document may cause the affected device to reload. The issue could be exploited repeatedly to cause an extended 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 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 | | |------------+---------------------------------------+--------------| | | Vulnerable;

Workarounds =========== There are no workarounds to mitigate the vulnerability apart from disabling H.323 if the Cisco IOS device does not need to run H.323 for VoIP services. Affected devices that must run H.323 are vulnerable, and there are not any specific configurations that can be used to protect them. Applying access lists on interfaces that should not accept H.323 traffic and putting firewalls in strategic locations may greatly reduce exposure until an upgrade can be performed. Cisco provides Solution Reference Network Design (SRND) guides to help design and deploy networking solutions, which can be found at http://www.cisco.com/go/srnd Voice Security best practices are covered in the Cisco Unified Communications SRND Based on Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.x at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/srnd/6x/security.html Below is an example of an access list to block H.323 management traffic from anywhere but a permitted network. In this example, the permitted network is 172.16.0.0/16. !--- Permit access from any IP address in the 172.16.0.0/16 !--- network to anywhere on port 1720. access-list 101 permit tcp 172.16.0.0 0.0.255.255 any eq 1720 !--- Permit access from anywhere to a host in the !--- 172.16.0.0/26 network on port 1720. access-list 101 permit tcp any 172.16.0.0 0.0.255.255 eq 1720 !--- Deny all traffic from port 1720. access-list 101 deny tcp any eq 1720 any !--- Deny all traffic to port 1720. access-list 101 deny tcp any any eq 1720 !--- Permit all other traffic. access-list 101 permit ip any any Alternatively, you can use the "call service stop forced" command under the "voice service voip" mode, as shown in the following example: voice service voip h323 call service stop forced Additional mitigations that can be deployed on Cisco devices within the network are available in the companion document "Cisco Applied Mitigation Bulletin: Identifying and Mitigating Exploitation of the Denial of Service Vulnerabilities in Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Cisco IOS Software", which is available at the following location: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-amb-20090923-voice.shtml Obtaining Fixed Software ======================== Cisco has released free software updates that address these vulnerabilities.

Customers may only install and expect support for the feature sets they have purchased. By installing, downloading, accessing or otherwise using such software upgrades, customers agree to be bound by the terms of Cisco's software license terms found at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/general/warranty/English/EU1KEN_.html or as otherwise set forth at Cisco.com Downloads 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, this means that upgrades should be obtained through the Software Center on Cisco's worldwide website at http://www.cisco.com. 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.

(Vulnerability Assessment Remediation Management) If not, then implement it through the most reliable vulnerability intelligence source on the market. Implement it through Secunia. 1) An error exists in the login section of the Extension Mobility feature of the Cisco Unified CME (Communications Manager Express) component. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via specially crafted HTTP requests. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. 2) An error in the IKE implementation can be exploited to allocate all available Phase 1 SAs and prevent new IPSec sessions from being established. Successful exploitation requires that the IKE certificate based authentication method is used. 3) Multiple errors exist in the IP tunnelling implementation when switching network packets. These can be exploited to trigger a device reload via specially crafted packets. Successful exploitation requires that the device is configured for PPTP, GRE, IPinIP, Generic Packet Tunneling in IPv6, or IPv6 over IP tunnels, and Cisco Express Forwarding. 4) An error in the implementation of the Object Groups for ACLs feature can be exploited to bypass access control policies. 5) An error in the H.323 implementation can be exploited to trigger a device reload via specially crafted TCP packets. 6) An error in the SIP implementation related to the Cisco Unified Border Element feature can be exploited to trigger a device reload. For more information: SA36836 7) An error in the SSLVPN, SSH, and IKE Encrypted Nonces features can be exploited to reload a device via specially crafted packets sent to TCP ports 22 (for SSH) or 443 (for SSLVPN), or UDP ports 500 and 4500 (for IKE Encrypted Nonces). 8) A race condition error exists in the Authentication Proxy for HTTP(S), Web Authentication, and consent features. This can be exploited to bypass the authentication proxy services and the consent accept web page if a successfully authenticated session or accepted consent session exists. 9) An error exists in the Cisco IOS Zone-Based Policy Firewall SIP inspection feature. This can be exploited to reload a device via a specially crafted SIP transit packet. 10) An error exists in the NTPv4 implementation while creating NTP reply packets. This can be exploited to trigger a device reload via a specially crafted NTP packet. SOLUTION: Update to a fixed version (please see the vendor's advisories for details).
