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

Cisco IOS devices that are configured for IKE and certificate based
authentication are affected.

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

IKE is enabled by default if IPsec is used. Cisco IOS devices that
are configured for IKE will listen on UDP port 500, UDP port 4500 if
the device is configured for NAT Traversal (NAT-T), or UDP ports 848
or 4848 if the device is configured for Group Domain of
Interpretation (GDOI). The following outputs show a router that is
listening on UDP port 500:

    Router#show ip sockets 
    Proto    Remote      Port      Local       Port  In Out Stat TTY OutputIF
    ....
     17   --listen--          192.168.66.129    500   0   0   11   0 
    ....

Or

    Router-#show udp
    Proto        Remote      Port      Local       Port  In Out  Stat TTY OutputIF
     17       --listen--          192.0.2.1         500   0   0  1011   0 
     17(v6)   --listen--          --any--           500   0   0 20011   0 
    Router#

IKE configurations that are performing certificate based
authentication will display "Rivest-Shamir-Adleman Signature" as the
authentication method in the output of the "show crypto isakmp policy"
command. This output is shown in the following example:

    Router#show crypto isakmp policy                               
    
    Global IKE policy
    Default protection suite
            encryption algorithm:   DES - Data Encryption Standard (56 bit keys).
            hash algorithm:         Secure Hash Standard
            authentication method:  Rivest-Shamir-Adleman Signature
            Diffie-Hellman group:   #1 (768 bit)
            lifetime:               86400 seconds, no volume limit

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 6500 Series device that is
running Cisco IOS Software release 12.2(18)SXF7 with an installed
image name of s72033_rp-IPSERVICESK9_WAN-M:

    Router#show version 
    Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software 
    IOS (tm) s72033_rp Software (s72033_rp-IPSERVICESK9_WAN-M), Version 12.2(18)SXF7, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

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

Cisco IOS XR Software is not affected by this vulnerability.

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

Details
=======

IPsec is an IP security feature that provides robust authentication
and encryption of IP packets. IKE is a key management protocol
standard that is used in conjunction with the IPsec standard.

IKE is a hybrid protocol that implements the Oakley and SKEME key
exchanges inside the Internet Security Association and Key Management
Protocol (ISAKMP) framework. (ISAKMP, Oakley, and SKEME are security
protocols that are implemented by IKE.). More information on IKE is
available at the following link:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_1/security/configuration/guide/scdike.html

A vulnerability exists in the IKE implementation of Cisco IOS
Software, if the certificate based authentication method is used.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in the
allocation of all available Phase 1 SAs, which may prevent new IPSec
sessions from being established.

Administrators can view Phase 1 SAs that are allocated as a result of
exploitation by issuing the "show crypto isakmp sa" command. The
following example displays sample output for this command:

    Router#show crypto isakmp sa
    IPv4 Crypto ISAKMP SA
    dst             src             state          conn-id slot status
    10.48.66.77     10.48.66.6      MM_KEY_EXCH       1004 ACTIVE
    10.48.66.77     10.48.66.6      MM_KEY_EXCH       1003 ACTIVE
    10.48.66.77     10.48.66.6      MM_KEY_EXCH       1002 ACTIVE
    ....

Any allocated SA can be de-allocated up manually by using the "clear
crypto isakmp <conn-ID>" command.

This vulnerability is addressed by the Cisco Bug IDs CSCsy07555 and
CSCee72997 and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
(CVE) ID CVE-2009-2868.

sessions from being established.

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.

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

or as otherwise set forth at Cisco.com Downloads at:

http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/sw-usingswc.shtml

Do not contact 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 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)
  * e-mail: tac at cisco.com

Customers should have their product serial number available and be
prepared to give the URL of this notice as evidence of entitlement to
a free upgrade. Free upgrades for non-contract customers must be
requested through the TAC.
