-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Cisco Security Advisory: DLSw Vulnerability Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20070110-dlsw http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20070110-dlsw.shtml Revision 1.0 For Public Release 2007 January 10 1600 UTC (GMT) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary ======= A vulnerability exists in the Data-link Switching (DLSw) feature in Cisco IOS where an invalid value in a DLSw message could result in a reload of the DLSw device. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that an attacker be able to establish a DLSw connection to the device. There are workarounds available for this vulnerability, as detailed in the Workarounds section below. This advisory is posted at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20070110-dlsw.shtml Affected Products ================= Vulnerable Products +------------------ This security advisory applies to all Cisco products that run Cisco IOS Software versions 11.0 through 12.4 configured for DLSw. A system which contains the DLSw feature, but does not have it enabled, is not affected. A router which is configured for DLSw will have a line in the configurations defining a local DLSw peer. This definition can be seen by issuing the command "show running-config" and looking for lines similar to the following: dlsw local-peer peer-id To determine if DLSw is enabled on your Cisco IOS device, it is also possible to issue the "show dlsw statistics" command while in enable mode and look for output similar to: Router#show dlsw statistics DLSw+ Control Queue Statistics: SNA Control Queue (count/max/dropped): (0/0/0) Netbios Control Queue (count/max/dropped): (0/0/0) Other Control Queue (count/max/dropped): (0/100/0) Critical Control Queue (count/max): (0/0) DLSw+ Border Peer Caching Statistics: 0 Border Peer Frames processed 0 Border frames found Local 0 Border frames found Remote 0 Border frames found Group Cache A device which is not configured for DLSw will simply return to a command prompt with no output. A device which does not support the DLSw feature will return output similar to: Router#show dlsw statistics ^ % Invalid input detected at '^' marker. Any version of Cisco IOS prior to the versions which will be listed in the Software Versions and Fixes section below may be vulnerable. To determine the version of Cisco IOS software running on a Cisco product, log in to the device and issue the "show version" command to display the system banner. Cisco IOS Software will identify itself as "Internetwork Operating System Software" or simply "IOS". On the next line of output, the image name will be displayed between parentheses, followed by "Version" and the IOS release name. Other Cisco devices will not have the "show version" command or will give different output. The following example identifies a Cisco product running IOS release 12.3(6) with an installed image name of C3640-I-M: Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software IOS (tm) 3600 Software (C3640-I-M), Version 12.3(6), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc3) The next example shows a product running IOS release 12.3(11)T3 with an image name of C3845-ADVIPSERVICESK9-M: Cisco IOS Software, 3800 Software (C3845-ADVIPSERVICESK9-M), Version 12.3(11)T3, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc4) Technical Support: http://www.cisco.com/techsupport Copyright (c) 1986-2005 by Cisco Systems, Inc. Additional information about Cisco IOS release naming can be found at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/620/1.html. No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by the vulnerability addressed in this advisory. Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable +-------------------------------- Products confirmed not to be vulnerable include devices which are not configured for DLSw. Details ======= Data-link switching (DLSw) provides a means of transporting IBM Systems Network Architecture (SNA) and network basic input/output system (NetBIOS) traffic over an IP network. Establishing DLSw communications involves several operational stages. 1. In phase one, DLSw peers establish two TCP connections with each other via TCP ports 2065 or 2067. Those TCP connections provide the foundation for the DLSw communication. 2. After a connection is established, the DLSw partners exchange a list of supported capabilities in phase two. This helps to ensure that the peers use the same options. This is particularly vital when the DLSw partners are manufactured by different vendors. 3. Next, the DLSw partners establish circuits between SNA or NetBIOS end systems, and information frames can flow over the circuit. A vulnerability exists in certain Cisco IOS software releases when configured for DLSw. After the connection is established, it is possible for a reload to occur should the device receive an invalid option during the capabilities exchange. This vulnerability is documented in Cisco Bug ID CSCsf28840. Vulnerability Scoring Details +---------------------------- Cisco is providing scores for the vulnerabilities in this advisory based on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). Cisco will provide a base and temporal score. Customers can then compute environmental scores to assist in determining the impact of the vulnerability in individual networks. Cisco PSIRT will set the bias in all cases to normal. Customers are encouraged to apply the bias parameter when determining the environmental impact of a particular vulnerability. CVSS is a standards based scoring method that conveys vulnerability severity and helps determine urgency and priority of response. 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. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCsf28840 CVSS Base Score: 3.3 Access Vector: Remote Access Complexity: Low Authentication: Not Required Confidentiality Impact: None Integrity Impact: None Availability Impact: Complete Impact Bias: Normal CVSS Temporal Score: 2.7 Exploitability: Functional Remediation Level: Official Fix Report Confidence: Confirmed Impact ====== Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in a reload of the device. Software Version 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) describes a release train and the platforms or products for which it is intended. If a given release train is vulnerable, then the earliest possible releases that contain the fix (the "First Fixed Release") and the anticipated date of availability for each are listed in the "Rebuild" and "Maintenance" columns. 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. The release should be upgraded at least to the indicated release or a later version (greater than or equal to the First Fixed Release label). For more information on the terms "Rebuild" and "Maintenance," consult the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/620/1.html. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Major Release | Availability of Repaired Releases | |-----------------------------+------------------------------------------------| | Affected 12.0-Based Release | Rebuild | Maintenance | |-----------------------------+------------------------------------------------| | 12.0 | Vulnerable;

contact TAC | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Workarounds =========== The effectiveness of any mitigation 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 mitigation or fix is the most appropriate for use in the intended network before it is deployed. Additional mitigations that can be deployed on Cisco devices within the network are available in the Cisco Applied Intelligence companion document for this advisory: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-air-20070110-dlsw.shtml Configure Explicitly Defined DLSw Peers +-------------------------------------- If DLSw is configured with no remote peers defined, then it must be operating in promiscuous mode on one end of the connection. Promiscuous mode could allow for any device to attempt to establish a DLSw peer with the router. To prevent malicious connections, DLSw peers may be explicitly defined with the "dlsw remote-peer" command removing the need for promiscuous mode. Obtaining Fixed Software ======================== Cisco will make free software available to address this vulnerability for affected customers. This advisory will be updated as fixed software becomes available. Prior to deploying software, customers should consult their maintenance provider or check the software for feature set compatibility and known issues specific to their environment. 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. Do not contact either "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 agreement 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 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@cisco.com 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.
