Message-ID: <200501261700.les@psirt.cisco.com> From: psirt at cisco.com (Cisco Systems Product Security Incident Response Team) Subject: Cisco Security Advisory: Crafted Packet Causes Reload on Cisco Routers -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Cisco Security Advisory: Crafted Packet Causes Reload on Cisco Routers Revision 1.0 For Public Release 2005 January 26 1600 (GMT) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contents Summary Affected Products Details Impact Software Versions and Fixes Obtaining Fixed Software Workarounds Exploitation and Public Announcements Status of This Notice: FINAL Distribution Revision History Cisco Security Procedures - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary ======= Cisco Routers running Internetwork Operating System (IOS) that supports Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) are vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack on MPLS disabled interfaces. A system that supports MPLS is vulnerable even if that system is not configured for MPLS. The vulnerability is only present in Cisco IOS release trains based on 12.1T, 12.2, 12.2T, 12.3 and 12.3T. Releases based on 12.1 mainline, 12.1E and all releases prior to 12.1 are not vulnerable. Cisco has made free software available to address this vulnerability. There are workarounds available to mitigate the effects. This issue is tracked by CERT/CC VU#583638. This advisory is available at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20050126-les.shtml. Affected Products ================= Vulnerable Products Only the following products running a vulnerable version of IOS that support MPLS are affected. * 2600 and 2800 series routers * 3600, 3700 and 3800 series routers * 4500 and 4700 series routers * 5300, 5350 and 5400 series Access Servers Products that are not listed above are not affected. MPLS is not supported in IP and IP Plus feature sets. Therefore, products running an IOS version with an IP or IP Plus feature set are not vulnerable. An attack can only be launched at systems that are not configured for MPLS Traffic Engineering and on the interfaces where MPLS is not enabled. MPLS enabled interfaces can be determined by the show mpls interfaces command. An unaffacted system where MPLS is not supported will give an output similar to the following. Router#show mpls interfaces ^ % Invalid input detected at '^' marker. Router# MPLS can be enabled in different ways on a router. In the below output, a router is shown that has MPLS enabled for IP on interface Ethernet0/0. Router#show mpls interfaces Interface IP Tunnel Operational Ethernet0/0 Yes (tdp) No Yes Router# When MPLS for IP is enabled on an interface, the router is immune to the attacks coming from that interface but vulnerable to the attacks coming from other interfaces. Enabling MPLS for IP on all interfaces of the router will make the router immune to attacks coming from any interface. An interface that has MPLS for IP enabled will have mpls ip or tag-switching ip command in the interface configuration. MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE) provides a better protection against this vulnerability. If MPLS TE is enabled globally, the router will be immune to the attacks coming from any interface. A router that has MPLS TE enabled will have mpls traffic-eng tunnels command in the show running-config output. Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable * Products that are not running Cisco IOS are not vulnerable. * Products running Cisco IOS versions 12.0 and earlier and 12.1 mainline are not vulnerable. * Products that are not mentioned in the Affected Products section are not vulnerable (including but not limited to Cisco 7200, 7500, 12000 series and Catalyst systems). No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by these vulnerabilities. Details ======= Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a vendor-independent protocol that integrates layer-2 (as defined in the Open System Interconnection Reference Model) information into layer-3. More information on MPLS can be found at http: //www.cisco.com/warp/public/732/Tech/mpls. A vulnerability exists in the processing of an MPLS packet that is received on an interface where MPLS is disabled. A router that is configured for MPLS Traffic Engineering is immune to attacks coming from any interface. A Cisco device receiving a crafted packet on an MPLS disabled interface will reset and may take several minutes to become fully functional. This vulnerability may be exploited repeatedly resulting in an extended DoS attack. This issue is documented in bugs ID CSCeb56909 ( registered customers only) and CSCec86420 ( registered customers only) . Such crafted packets can only be sent from the local network segment. Impact ====== Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could result in a reload of the device. Repeated exploitation could result in a sustained DoS attack.

considering software upgrades, please also consult http://www.cisco.com/en /US/products/products_security_advisories_listing.html 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) for assistance. Obtaining Fixed Software ======================== 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 agreement with third-party support organizations such as Cisco Partners, authorized resellers, or service providers should contact that support organization for assistance with the upgrade, which should be free of charge. Customers without Service Contracts Customers who purchase direct from Cisco but who do not hold a Cisco service contract and customers who purchase through third-party vendors but are unsuccessful at obtaining fixed software through their point of sale should get their 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@...co.com Please have your product serial number available and give the URL of this notice as evidence of your entitlement to a free upgrade. Free upgrades for non-contract customers must be requested through the TAC. Please do not contact either "psirt@...co.com" or "security-alert@...co.com" for software upgrades. See http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml for additional TAC contact information, including special localized telephone numbers and instructions and e-mail addresses for use in various languages. 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/public/sw-license-agreement.html, or as otherwise set forth at Cisco.com Downloads at http://www.cisco.com/public /sw-center/sw-usingswc.shtml. Workarounds =========== The effectiveness of any workaround 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 is the most appropriate for use in the intended network before it is deployed. Warning: Using this workaround may affect the operation of your network and might cause problems. Therefore it is strongly recommended that you do a code upgrade if you are affected. It is not recommended that you use the workaround as a long term solution. Enabling MPLS Traffic Engineering (MPLS TE) globally can be used as a workaround to mitigate this vulnerability. Since MPLS requires Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) in order to work, CEF needs to be enabled first in order to enable MPLS TE. CEF and MPLS TE can be enabled by the following commands. Router(config)# ip cef Router(config)# mpls traffic-eng tunnels Having MPLS TE enabled will make the router immune to the attacks coming from any interface.
