Cisco Security Advisory: Cisco IOS Virtual Private Dial-up Network
                         Denial of Service Vulnerability

Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20080326-pptp

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20080326-pptp.shtml

Revision 1.0

For Public Release 2008 March 26 1600 UTC (GMT)

Summary
=======

Two vulnerabilities exist in the virtual private dial-up network
(VPDN) solution when Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is used
in certain Cisco IOS releases prior to 12.3. PPTP is only one of the
supported tunneling protocols used to tunnel PPP frames within the
VPDN solution.

The first vulnerability is a memory leak that occurs as a result of
PPTP session termination. The second vulnerability may consume all
interface descriptor blocks on the affected device because those
devices will not reuse virtual access interfaces. If these
vulnerabilities are repeatedly exploited, the memory and/or interface
resources of the attacked device may be depleted.

Cisco has made free software available to address these vulnerabilities
for affected customers.

There are no workarounds available to mitigate the effects of these
vulnerabilities.

Affected Products
=================

Devices that are running certain Cisco IOS versions prior to 12.3
with VPDN enabled may be affected by these vulnerabilities.

Vulnerable Products
+------------------

Devices that are running affected versions of Cisco IOS with VPDN
enabled and are configured to accept termination of PPTP sessions are
vulnerable.

To determine whether VPDN is enabled on your device, log in to the
device and issue the command-line interface (CLI) command "show
running-config". If the output contains "vpdn enable" along with a 
"vpdn-group <name>" command, VPDN is enabled on the device. The device
will accept termination of PPTP sessions if the command "protocol any"
or "protocol pptp" is defined under the "vpdn-group <name>" command. 
The following example shows a device that is running VPDN and will 
accept termination of PPTP sessions:

    Router#show running-config 
    Building configuration...
    
    !
    !--- Output truncated.
    !
    
    vpdn enable
    
    !
    
    vpdn-group test_only
    ! Default PPTP VPDN group
     accept-dialin
      protocol pptp
      virtual-template 1
    
    !
    !---Remaining output truncated.
    

To determine the software version 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 that is running
Cisco IOS release 12.2(7):

    IOS (tm) 7200 Software (C7200-IS-M), Version 12.2(7), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/620/1.html.

Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
+--------------------------------

Devices that are running Cisco IOS versions 12.3 and later are not
affected by these vulnerabilities. Devices that are explicitly
configured for VPDN protocols other than PPTP are not affected.

Devices that are running Cisco IOS versions prior to 12.3 and do not
have VPDN enabled are not affected by these vulnerabilities.

Cisco IOS XR is not affected by these vulnerabilities.

Details
=======

VPDNs securely carry private data over a public network, allowing
remote users to access a private network over a shared infrastructure
such as the Internet. VPDNs maintain the same security and management
policies as a private network, while providing a cost-effective
method for point-to-point connections between remote users and a
central network.

PPTP is a network protocol that enables the secure transfer of data
from a remote client to a private enterprise server by creating a
VPDN across TCP/IP-based data networks. PPTP supports on-demand,
multiprotocol, virtual private networking over public networks, such
as the Internet.

Details regarding the two known vulnerabilities in Cisco IOS devices
that are running affected versions of system software follow:

  * Memory Leak due to PPTP Session Termination

    Upon completion of a PPTP session, memory is leaked from the
    processor memory on the terminating device. This is shown in the
    output of "show process memory" under the *Dead* process. The 
    *Dead* process is not a real process. Its function is to account 
    for the memory that is allocated under the context of another 
    process which has terminated, in this case PPTP. When the 
    administrator is logged into the device, if the device is under 
    exploitation, the Holding entry of the *Dead* process under the 
    "show process memory" command will be increasing. Following is 
    an example showing a device that is holding *Dead* memory:
   
        Router#show process memory 
        Total: 199718560, Used: 11147828, Free: 188570732

           0   0        444     778840        444          0          0 *Sched*         
           0   0   17481700    4930848     819672     180908          0 *Dead*          
           1   0        284        284       3828          0          0 Load Meter 
        
        !--- Output truncated.
        
    The CLI command "show memory dead" allows administrators to examine
    the contents of *Dead*. The output will display many occurrences
    of PPTP in the output if the PPTP process is causing the leak.
    The following example shows the dead memory for a device that has
    been exploited by the vulnerability
   
        Router#show memory dead

    This vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCsj58566 
    and Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) identifier 
    CVE-2008-1151 has been assigned to this vulnerability.

  * Virtual Access Interfaces Are Not Re-used

    Upon completion of a PPTP session, affected devices do not remove
    the virtual access interface that is associated with the PPTP
    session and do not reuse the interfaces in any future
    connections.

    This situation can result in an exhaustion of the interface
    descriptor block (IDB) limit, which will prevent any new
    interfaces being created within Cisco IOS, effectively blocking
    all new VPDN connections, even though the router may still have
    enough processor memory to remain up and running. A reload of the
    device is required to remove the interfaces.

    An IDB is a Cisco IOS internal data structure that contains
    information such as the IP address, interface state, and packet
    statistics. Cisco IOS software maintains one IDB for each
    interface present on a platform and one IDB for each
    subinterface.

    Further documentation on Cisco IOS IDBs can be found at: 
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1835/products_tech_note09186a0080094322.shtml
    This vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCdv59309 
    and Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) identifier 
    CVE-2008-1150 has been assigned to this vulnerability.

Impact
======

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in a memory
leak of processor memory or consumption of all available IDBs on the
device. With continued exploitation, the device will deplete its
processor memory or reach an IDB limit. Both impacts would result in
a denial of service condition for the device.

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
===========

There are no workarounds for this vulnerability. Cisco recommends
upgrading to the fixed version of Cisco IOS.

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 at cisco.com" or "security-alert at 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 at 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.

Refer to http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml
