TITLE

Cisco Firewall Services Module Denial of service in Japan (DoS) Vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

The Cisco Firewall Services Module (FWSM) 4.0 before 4.0(8), as used in for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 switches, Cisco 7600 routers, and ASA 5500 Adaptive Security Appliances, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a malformed Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP) message. An attacker can exploit this issue to cause a denial-of-service condition. This issue is being tracked by Cisco BugID CSCsz79757 and CSCtb60485. 4) An error in WebVPN can be exploited to trigger an appliance reload via a specially crafted DTLS packet. 7) An error in the implementation of the NT LAN Manager version 1 (NTLMv1) protocol can be exploited to bypass authentication via a specially crafted username. SOLUTION: Update to a fixed version. Please see the vendor's advisory for detailed patch information. PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: Reported by the vendor.

Note: Recent versions of Cisco IOS Software will show the software version of each module in the output from the "show module" command; therefore, executing the "show module <slot number>" command is not necessary. If a Virtual Switching System (VSS) is used to allow two physical Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches to operate as a single logical virtual switch, the "show module switch all" command can display the software version of all FWSMs that belong to switch 1 and switch 2. The output from this command will be similar to the output from the "show module <slot number>" but will include module information for the modules in each switch in the VSS. Alternatively, version information can be obtained directly from the FWSM through the "show version" command. The version notation is similar to the following example. The FWSM offers firewall services with stateful packet filtering and deep packet inspection. There are workarounds for some of the vulnerabilities disclosed in this advisory. Cisco has released free software updates that address these vulnerabilities. This advisory is posted at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20100217-asa.shtml. Affected versions of Cisco ASA Software vary depending on the specific vulnerability. For specific version information, refer to the "Software Versions and Fixes" section of this advisory. TCP Connection Exhaustion Denial of Service Vulnerability +-------------------------------------------------------- Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliances may experience a TCP connection exhaustion condition (no new TCP connections are accepted) that can be triggered through the receipt of specific TCP segments during the TCP connection termination phase. Appliances that are running versions 7.1.x, 7.2.x, 8.0.x, 8.1.x, and 8.2.x are affected when they are configured for any of the following features: * SSL VPNs * Cisco Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM) Administrative Access * Telnet Access * SSH Access * Virtual Telnet * Virtual HTTP * Transport Layer Security (TLS) Proxy for Encrypted Voice Inspection SIP Inspection Denial of Service Vulnerabilities +----------------------------------------------- Two denial of service (DoS) vulnerabilities affect the SIP inspection feature of Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliances. Versions 7.0.x, 7.1.x, 7.2.x, 8.0.x, 8.1.x, and 8.2.x are affected. SIP inspection is enabled by default. To check if SIP inspection is enabled, issue the "show service-policy | include sip" command and confirm that some output is returned. Sample output is displayed in the following example: ciscoasa#show service-policy | include sip Inspect: sip , packet 0, drop 0, reset-drop 0 Alternatively, an appliance that has SIP inspection enabled has a configuration similar to the following: class-map inspection_default match default-inspection-traffic ! policy-map global_policy class inspection_default ... inspect sip ... Versions 8.0.x, 8.1.x, and 8.2.x are affected. SCCP inspection is enabled by default. To check if SCCP inspection is enabled, issue the "show service-policy | include skinny" command and confirm that some output is returned. Sample output is displayed in the following example: ciscoasa#show service-policy | include skinny Inspect: skinny , packet 0, drop 0, reset-drop 0 Alternatively, an appliance that has SCCP inspection enabled has a configuration similar to the following: class-map inspection_default match default-inspection-traffic ! policy-map global_policy class inspection_default ... inspect skinny ... Affected versions include 7.1.x, 7.2.x, 8.0.x, 8.1.x, and 8.2.x. Administrators can enable WebVPN with the "enable <interface name>" command in "webvpn" configuration mode. DTLS can be enabled by issuing the "svc dtls enable" command in "group policy webvpn" configuration mode. The following configuration snippet provides an example of a WebVPN configuration that enables DTLS: webvpn enable outside svc enable ... ! group-policy <group name> internal group-policy <group name> attributes ... webvpn svc dtls enable ... Altough WebVPN is disabled by default, DTLS is enabled by default in recent software releases. This vulnerability only affects configurations that use the "nailed" option at the end of their static statement. Additionally, traffic that matches "static" statement must also be inspected by a Cisco AIP-SSM (an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) module) in inline mode. IPS inline operation mode is enabled by using the "ips inline {fail-close | fail-open}" command in "class" configuration mode. Versions 7.0.x, 7.1.x, 7.2.x, 8.0.x, 8.1.x, and 8.2.x are affected. IKE is not enabled by default. If IKE is enabled, the "isakmp enable <interface name>" command appears in the configuration. Versions 7.0.x, 7.1.x, 7.2.x, 8.0.x, 8.1.x, and 8.2.x are affected. Administrators can configure NTLMv1 authentication by defining an Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) server group that uses the NTLMv1 protocol with the "aaa-server <AAA server group tag> protocol nt" command and then configuring a service that requires authentication to use that AAA server group. To verify that NTLMv1 authentication is enabled and active, issue the "show aaa-server protocol nt" command. Sample output is displayed in the following example: ciscoasa#show aaa-server protocol nt Server Group: test Server Protocol: nt Server Address: 192.168.10.11 Server port: 139 Server status: ACTIVE, Last transaction (success) at 11:10:08 UTC Fri Jan 29 <output truncated> Cisco PIX 500 Series Security Appliance Vulnerability Status +----------------------------------------------------------- Cisco PIX 500 Series Security Appliances are affected by the following vulnerabilities: * TCP Connection Exhaustion Denial of Service Vulnerability * SIP Inspection Denial of Service Vulnerabilities * SCCP Inspection Denial of Service Vulnerability * Crafted IKE Message Denial of Service Vulnerability * NTLMv1 Authentication Bypass Vulnerability Because the Cisco PIX 500 Series Security Appliances reached End of Software Maintenance Releases on July 28, 2009, no further software releases will be available for the Cisco PIX 500 Series Security Appliances. For more information, refer to the End of Life announcement at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/vpndevc/ps5708/ps5709/ps2030/end_of_life_notice_cisco_pix_525_sec_app.html. How To Determine The Running Software Version +-------------------------------------------- To determine whether a vulnerable version of Cisco ASA Software is running on an appliance, administrators can issue the "show version" command-line interface (CLI) command. The following example shows a Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliance that is running software version 8.0(4): ASA#show version Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 8.0(4) Device Manager Version 6.0(1) <output truncated> Customers who use Cisco ASDM to manage devices can locate the software version in the table that is displayed in the login window or upper-left corner of the Cisco ASDM window. Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable +-------------------------------- The Cisco Firewall Services Module (FWSM) is affected by some of the vulnerabilities in this advisory. A separate Cisco Security Advisory has been published to disclose the vulnerabilities that affect the FWSM. This advisory is available at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20100217-fwsm.shtml. With the exception of the Cisco FWSM, no other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by these vulnerabilities. It offers firewall, intrusion prevention (IPS), anti-X, and VPN services. This vulnerability is triggered only when specific TCP segments are sent to certain TCP-based services that terminate on the affected appliance. Although exploitation of this vulnerability requires a TCP three-way handshake, authentication is not required. This vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCsz77717 and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID CVE-2010-0149. Appliances are only vulnerable when SIP inspection is enabled. Only transit traffic can trigger these vulnerabilities; traffic that is destined to the appliance will not trigger the vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities are documented in Cisco bug IDs CSCsy91157, and CSCtc96018, and have been assigned CVE IDs CVE-2010-0150, and CVE-2010-0569 respectively. Appliances are only vulnerable when SCCP inspection is enabled. Only transit traffic can trigger this vulnerability; traffic that is destined to the appliance will not trigger the vulnerabily. This vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCsz79757 and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID CVE-2010-0151. Appliances are only vulnerable when they are configured for WebVPN and DTLS transport. This vulnerability is only triggered by traffic that is destined to the appliance; transit traffic will not trigger the vulnerability. This vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCtb64913 and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID CVE-2010-0565. A malformed, transit TCP segment is received. 2. The TCP segment matches a static NAT translation that has the "nailed" option configured on it. 3. The TCP segment is also processed by the Cisco AIP-SSM, which is configured for inline mode of operation. A TCP three-way handshake is not necessary to exploit this vulnerability. This vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCtb37219 and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID CVE-2010-0566. The tunnels are not torn down immediately; IPsec traffic will continue to flow until the next rekey, at which time the rekey will fail and the tunnels will be torn down. Both site-to-site and remote access VPN tunnels are affected. The vulnerability is triggered when the appliance processes a malformed IKE message on port UDP 4500 that traverses an existing IPsec tunnel. The only way to recover and re-establish IPsec VPN tunnels is to reload the appliance. When this vulnerability is exploited, the security appliance will generate syslog messages 713903 and 713906, which will be followed by the loss of IPsec peers. This vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCtc47782 and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID CVE-2010-0567. Users can bypass authentication by providing an an invalid, crafted username during an authentication request. Any services that use a AAA server group that is configured to use the NTLMv1 authentication protocol is affected. Affected services include: * Telnet access to the security appliance * SSH access to the security appliance * HTTPS access to the security appliance (including Cisco ASDM access) * Serial console access * Privileged (enable) mode access * Cut-through proxy for network access * VPN access This vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCte21953 and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID CVE-2010-0568.

However, no fixed 7.1.x software versions are planned because the 7.1.x major release has reached the End of Software Maintenance Releases milestone. Fixed Cisco ASA Software can be downloaded from: http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/ASAPSIRT?psrtdcat20e2 Recommended Releases +------------------- Releases 7.0(8.10), 7.2(4.46), 8.0(5.9), 8.1(2.40) (available early March 2010), and 8.2(2.4) are recommended releases because they contain the fixes for all vulnerabilities in this advisory. Cisco recommends upgrading to a release that is equal to or later than these recommended releases. Workarounds =========== TCP Connection Exhaustion Denial of Service Vulnerability +-------------------------------------------------------- It is possible to mitigate this vulnerability for TCP-based services that are offered to known clients. For example, it may be possible to restrict SSH, Cisco ASDM/HTTPS, and Telnet administrative access to known hosts or IP subnetworks. For other services like remote access SSL VPN, where clients connect from unknown hosts and networks, no mitigations exist. SIP Inspection Denial of Service Vulnerabilities +----------------------------------------------- These vulnerabilities can be mitigated by disabling SIP inspection if it is not required. Administrators can disable SIP inspection by issuing the "no inspect sip" command in class configuration sub-mode within policy-map configuration. SCCP Inspection Denial of Service Vulnerability +---------------------------------------------- This vulnerability can be mitigated by disabling SCCP inspection if it is not required. Administrators can disable SCCP inspection by issuing the "no inspect skinny" command in class configuration sub-mode within the policy-map configuration. WebVPN DTLS Denial of Service Vulnerability +------------------------------------------ This vulnerability can be mitigated by disabling DTLS transport for WebVPN. Administrators can disable DTLS by issuing the "no svc dtls enable" command under the "webvpn" attributes section of the corresponding group policy. Crafted TCP Segment Denial of Service Vulnerability +-------------------------------------------------- Possible workarounds for this vulnerability are the following: * Migrate from "nailed" static NAT entries to TCP-state bypass. * Use the Cisco AIP-SSM in promiscuous mode. This mode can be configured by issuing the "ips promiscuous" command in "class" configuration mode. * Disable IPS inspection for "nailed" static NAT entries. * If possible, change "nailed" static NAT entries to standard static NAT entries. This may be feasible since in most cases there is no need for allowing IPsec tunnels inside IPsec tunnels. Filtering out UDP port 4500 traffic across an IPsec tunnel can be accomplished by using a VPN filter, as shown in the following example: !-- Deny only UDP port 4500 traffic and allow everything else access-list VPNFILTER extended deny udp any any eq 4500 access-list VPNFILTER extended permit ip any any !-- Create a group policy and specify a VPN filter that uses the !-- previous ACL group-policy VPNPOL internal group-policy VPNPOL attributes vpn-filter value VPNFILTER !-- Reference the group policy with the VPN filter from the tunnel group tunnel-group 172.16.0.1 type ipsec-l2l tunnel-group 172.16.0.1 general-attributes default-group-policy VPNPOL For this workaround to be effective, the group policy needs to be applied to all site-to-site (tunnel type "ipsec-l2l") and remote access (tunnel type "ipsec-ra") tunnel groups. Warning: In addition to filtering out IKE traffic on UDP port 4500, this workaround may also affect other procotols like DNS and SNMP that send traffic on UDP port 4500. For example, if a DNS resolver sends traffic from UDP port 4500 to a DNS server, the response from the DNS server will be destined to UDP port 4500, which then may be filtered out by the filter used in this workaround. For a more comprehensive example of the VPN filter feature of the Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliances, refer to the whitepaper "PIX/ASA 7.x and Later: VPN Filter (Permit Specific Port or Protocol) Configuration Example for L2L and Remote Access" available at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/vpndevc/ps2030/products_configuration_example09186a00808c9a87.shtml In addition, if the security appliance does not terminate any tunnels, the vulnerability can be mitigated by disabling IKE by issuing the "no isakmp enable <interface name>" command. NTLMv1 Authentication Bypass Vulnerability +----------------------------------------- If NTLMv1 authentication is required, there are no workarounds for this vulnerability. If NTLMv1 authentication can be substituted by other authentication protocols (LDAP, RADIUS, TACACS+, etc.), it is possible to mitigate the vulnerability.
