Cisco IOS Software Resource Reservation Protocol Interface Queue Wedge Vulnerability

Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20130925-rsvp

Revision 1.0

For Public Release 2013 September 25 16:00  UTC (GMT)
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary
=======

A vulnerability in the Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) feature of Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to trigger an interface queue wedge on the affected device.

The vulnerability is due to improper parsing of UDP RSVP packets. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending UDP port 1698 RSVP packets to the vulnerable device. An exploit could cause Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software to incorrectly process incoming packets, resulting in an interface queue wedge, which can lead to loss of connectivity, loss of routing protocol adjacency, and other denial of service (DoS) conditions.
 
Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability.

Workarounds that mitigate this vulnerability are available.
