Affected Products
=================
Vulnerable Products
+------------------
Any Cisco IOS device configured with the Cisco IOS IPS feature is
vulnerable, regardless if it is configured to use the built-in
signatures or an external signature file. Devices using either
version 4 or version 5 signatures are affected by this vulnerability.
The Cisco IOS IPS feature is not enabled by default. The command show
ip ips interfaces can be used to determine if the Cisco IOS IPS
feature has been configured and applied to any interface on the
device, as in the following example:
Router#show ip ips interfaces
Interface Configuration
Interface FastEthernet0/0
Inbound IPS rule is ios-ips-incoming
Outgoing IPS rule is not set
Interface FastEthernet0/1
Inbound IPS rule is not set
Outgoing IPS rule is ios-ips-outgoing
Router#
The output of the show ip ips interfaces command when the Cisco IOS
IPS feature has not been configured is dependent on which Cisco IOS
release is installed and running on the device. It may be similar to
the following example:
Router#show ip ips interfaces
Router#
or it may be similar to the following:
Router#show ip ips interfaces
Interface Configuration
IPS is not configured on any interface
Router#
Any version of Cisco IOS prior to the versions which are listed in
the Software Versions and Fixes section below is vulnerable.
To determine the version of the 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 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

The next example shows a product running Cisco IOS Software release
12.4(20)T with an image name of C1841-ADVENTERPRISEK9-M:
Router#show version

Details
=======
Cisco IOS Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) is an inline, deep-packet
inspection feature that effectively mitigates a wide range of network
attacks. A component of the Cisco IOS Integrated Threat Control
framework and complemented by Cisco IOS Flexible Packet Matching
feature, Cisco IOS IPS provides your network with the intelligence to
accurately identify, classify, and stop or block malicious traffic in
real time. Additional information on the Cisco IOS IPS feature can be
found at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_3t/12_3t8/feature/guide/gt_fwids.html
Previous to the introduction of the Cisco IOS IPS feature, Cisco IOS
provided a similar feature, the Cisco IOS Intrusion Detection System
(IDS). The Cisco IOS IDS feature is not affected by this
vulnerability. Additional information on the Cisco IOS IDS feature
can be found at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_0t/12_0t5/feature/guide/ios_ids.html
Certain network traffic can trigger IPS signatures on the SERVICE.DNS
signature engine which may cause the Cisco IOS device to crash or
hang. This may cause a denial of service that results in disruption
of network traffic. This vulnerability is documented in Cisco Bug ID
CSCsq13348.
This vulnerability has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures (CVE) ID CVE-2008-2739.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may cause a Cisco IOS
device configured with the Cisco IOS IPS feature to crash or hang,
resulting in a denial of service 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 all 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.

Workarounds
===========
The workaround consists of adding an Access Control List (ACL) to
every Cisco IOS IPS policy configured on the device so that traffic
destined to ports 53/udp or 53/tcp is not inspected by the Cisco IOS
IPS feature. The following ACL would need to be added to the device
configuration:
! deny inspection of traffic with a destination port of 53/udp
access-list 177 deny udp any any eq 53
! deny inspection of traffic with a destination port of 53/tcp
access-list 177 deny tcp any any eq 53
! allow all other traffic to be inspected
access-list 177 permit ip any any
Every instance of a Cisco IOS IPS policy on the device would then
need to be modified in order to reference the previous ACL. In order
to determine which Cisco IOS IPS policies are configured on the
device, execute the command show running-config | include ip ips name
as in the following example:
Router#show running-config | include ip ips name
ip ips name ios-ips-incoming
ip ips name ios-ips-outgoing
Router#
In the previous example, two Cisco IOS IPS policies are configured on
the device. The following example shows the addition of an ACL to
each one of the Cisco IOS IPS policies previously identified:
Router#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#ip ips name ios-ips-incoming list 177
Router(config)#ip ips name ios-ips-outgoing list 177
Router(config)#end
Router#
As a verification step, the command show ip ips interfaces can be
executed again to verify the ACL has been properly attached to each
one of the Cisco IOS IPS policies:
Router#show ip ips interfaces
Interface Configuration
Interface FastEthernet0/0
Inbound IPS rule is ios-ips-incoming
acl list 177
Outgoing IPS rule is not set
Interface FastEthernet0/1
Inbound IPS rule is not set
Outgoing IPS rule is ios-ips-outgoing
acl list 177
Router#
Note: Disabling or deleting individual or all signatures using the
SERVICE.DNS engine of the Cisco IOS IPS feature is not a recommended
workaround. The previous workaround is the only Cisco-recommended
workaround for this vulnerability.

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)
