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

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

Devices running affected versions of Cisco IOS Software are
susceptible if configured with any of the following features:

  * Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Virtual Private Network (VPN)
  * Secure Shell (SSH)
  * Internet Key Exchange (IKE) Encrypted Nonces

Note: Other SSL/HTTPS related features than WebVPN and SSL VPN are
not affected by this vulnerability.

To determine whether SSLVPN is enabled on a device, log in to the
device and issue the command-line interface (CLI) command "show
running-config | include webvpn". If the device returns any output
then SSLVPN is configured and the device may be vulnerable.
Vulnerable configurations vary depending on whether the device is
supporting Cisco IOS WebVPN (introduced in Release 12.3(14)T) or
Cisco IOS SSLVPNs (introduced in Release 12.4(6)T). The following
methods describe how to confirm if the device is vulnerable:

If the output from "show running-config | include webvpn" contains
"webvpn enable" then the device is configured with the original Cisco
IOS WebVPN. The only way to determine whether the device is
vulnerable is to examine the output of "show running-config" to
confirm that webvpn is enabled via the command "webvpn enable" and
that a "ssl trustpoint" has been configured. The following example
shows a vulnerable device configured with Cisco IOS WebVPN:

    webvpn enable
    !
    webvpn
     ssl trustpoint TP-self-signed-29742012

If the output from "show running-config | include webvpn" contains
"webvpn gateway <word>" then the device is supporting the Cisco IOS
SSLVPN feature. A device is vulnerable if it has the "inservice"
command in at least one of the "webvpn gateway" sections. The
following example shows a vulnerable device configured with Cisco IOS
SSLVPN:

    Router# show running | section webvpn        
    webvpn gateway Gateway
     ip address 10.1.1.1 port 443  
     ssl trustpoint Gateway-TP
     inservice
     !
    Router#

A device that supports the Cisco IOS SSLVPN is not vulnerable if it
has no "webvpn gateways" configured or all the configured "webvpn
gateways" contain the "no inservice" webvpn gateway command.

To determine if SSH is enabled use the "show ip ssh" command, as shown
in the following example:

    Router#show ip ssh 
    SSH Enabled - version 1.99
    Authentication timeout: 120 secs; Authentication retries: 3
    Minimum expected Diffie Hellman key size : 1024 bits

To determine if the IKE encrypted nonces feature is enabled, use the 
"show running-config | include rsa-encr" command as follows:

    Router#show running-config | inc rsa-encr
     authentication rsa-encr

To determine the Cisco IOS Software release that is running on a
Cisco product, administrators can log in to the device and issue the
show version command to display the system banner. The system banner
confirms that the device is running Cisco IOS Software by displaying
text similar to "Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software" or
"Cisco IOS Software." The image name displays in parentheses,
followed by "Version" and the Cisco IOS Software release name. Other
Cisco devices do not have the show version command or may provide
different output.

The following example identifies a Cisco product that is 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 (fc2)

The following example identifies a Cisco product that is running
Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(20)T with an installed image name of
C1841-ADVENTERPRISEK9-M:

    Router#show version
    Cisco IOS Software, 1841 Software (C1841-ADVENTERPRISEK9-M), Version 12.4(20)T, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc3)

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

The Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliances are not
affected by this vulnerability.

Cisco IOS XR Software is not affected by this vulnerability.

No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by this
vulnerability.

Details
=======

A Cisco IOS device that is configured for SSLVPN or SSH may reload
when it receives a specially crafted TCP packet on TCP port 443
(SSLVPN) or TCP port 22 (SSH). Completion of the three-way handshake
to the associated TCP port number of these features is required for
the vulnerability to be successfully exploited; however,
authentication is not required. A Cisco IOS device that is configured
for IKE encrypted nonces may reload when it receives a specially
crafted UDP packet on port 500 or 4500 (if configured for NAT
Traversal (NAT-T)).

This vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCsq24002 and has
been assigned the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) identifier
CVE-2009-2871.

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 available workarounds other than disabling the affected
features and protecting SSH access with the use of VTY access control
lists.

Use the "no webvpn enable" command to disable SSL VPN use.

For Cisco IOS the SSH server can be disabled by applying the command 
"crypto key zeroize rsa" while in configuration mode. The SSH server is
enabled automatically upon generating an RSA key pair. Zeroing the
RSA keys is the only way to completely disable the SSH server.

Access to the SSH server on Cisco IOS Software may also be disabled
by removing SSH as a valid transport protocol. This action can be
done by reapplying the transport input command with 'ssh' removed
from the list of permitted transports on vty lines while in
configuration mode. For example:

    line vty 0 4                                                                    
          transport input telnet                                                        
        end

If SSH server functionality is desired, access to the server can be
restricted to specific source IP addresses or blocked entirely
through the use of Access Control Lists (ACLs) on the vty lines as
shown in the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst2950/software/release/12.1_9_ea1/configuration/guide/swacl.html#xtocid14

More information on configuring ACLs can be found on Cisco's public
website:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/secursw/ps1018/products_tech_note09186a00800a5b9a.shtml

The following is an example of a vty access-list:

    access-list 2 permit 10.1.1.0 0.0.0.255
    access-list 2 deny any
    
    line vty 0 4
     access-class 2 in

In the previous example, only the 10.1.1.0/24 network is allowed to
SSH to the Cisco IOS device.

To disable IKE encrypted nonces use the "no authentication rsa-encr"
command under an ISAKMP policy, as shown in the following example:

    crypto isakmp policy
     no authentication rsa-encr

Obtaining Fixed Software
========================

Cisco has released free software updates that address these
vulnerabilities. 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/en/US/docs/general/warranty/English/EU1KEN_.html

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)
