Staff remote access
by nward＠esphion.com 27 Jul '03

27 Jul '03

I currently have an IPExpress circuit from TelstraClear providing Internet access. I'd like to be able to have staff use some kind of fast IP service (ie ADSL), to connect in to the office to do thier work, I don't want Internet access over these links, just some form of nationally accessable 'VPN'. It only needs to be 1-2Mbit speed, but can't complain if its more. Is this kind of thing being done? I tried to contact Telecom about it only to have some customer support monkey tell me that ADSL is an Internet thing, and as much as I love dealing with support people... I assume many replies to this will be deemed commercial and OT, so please contact me off-list. Nathan Ward

Performance issues on Citylink yesterday (Saturday Jul 19)
by Simon Blake 19 Jul '03

19 Jul '03

Our apologies to the folks who suffered from performance problems on Citylink yesterday (Saturday). They were caused by an ISP under apparent SYN attack - not in itself a particularly unusual occurence, what was interesting was that in changes on Saturday morning (about 3am) said ISP managed to make the IP address under attack an unfiltered broadcast address on Citylink, so we all got to share the pain of a kind of combo SYN/smurf attack. The attacks manifested as 8-10Mb/s streams coming from the ISP onto Citylink for 1-4 minutes, about twice every two hours, which in turn caused some 10Mb customers on Citylink some disruption of service - 100Mb/1Gb customers seemed to be largely unaffected. The short duration and occasional nature of the problem did cause a few issues with tracking it and getting a resolution (about 9pm last night) - again, our apologies for not getting it sorted faster. Cheers Si

exploits logged in Auckland
by Joe Abley 17 Jul '03

17 Jul '03

I have seen attempts to exploit the recently-announced cisco vuln on a router of my acquaintance in Auckland, starting early this morning NZST. This confirms the notes on nanog (and in the updated cisco advisory) about functional exploits being published and used in the wild. The source addresses appear spoofed, and so far all of the hits have been received from outside NZ. The address "x.x.x.114" (see below) isn't in use on a router or anywhere else. Presumably the k1dd13z will realise at some point that there is more dead air on the Internet than ciscos, and will start harvesting victim addresses from traceroute instead of choosing them randomly. Is anybody contemplating customer-facing filters which block protocols 53, 54, 77 and 103?

Cisco Security Advisory: Cisco IOS Interface Blocked by IPv4 Packet
by Rob Thomas 17 Jul '03

17 Jul '03

FYI. -- Rob Thomas http://www.cymru.com ASSERT(coffee != empty); -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Cisco Security Advisory: Cisco IOS Interface Blocked by IPv4 Packet Revision 1.3 ============ Last Updated 2003 July 17 at 23:00 UTC (GMT) For Public Release 2003 July 17 at 6:10 UTC (GMT) ================= - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Please provide your feedback on this document. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Contents ======== Summary Affected Products Details Impact Software Versions and Fixes Obtaining Fixed Software Workarounds Exploitation and Public Announcements Status of This Notice: INTERIM Distribution Revision History Cisco Security Procedures - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary ======= Cisco routers and switches running Cisco IOS� software and configured to process Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) packets are vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. A rare sequence of crafted IPv4 packets with specific protocol fields sent directly to the device may cause the input interface to stop processing traffic once the input queue is full. No authentication is required to process the inbound packet. Processing of IPv4 packets is enabled by default. Devices running only IP version 6 (IPv6) are not affected. A workaround is available. Cisco has made software available, free of charge, to correct the problem. This advisory is available at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20030717-blocked.shtml. Affected Products ================= This issue affects all Cisco devices running Cisco IOS software and configured to process Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) packets. Cisco devices which do not run Cisco IOS software are not affected. Devices which run only Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) are not affected. Details ======= Cisco routers are configured to process and accept Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) packets by default. A rare, specially crafted sequence of IPv4 packets with protocol type 53 (SWIPE), 55 (IP Mobility), 77 (Sun ND), or 103 (Protocol Independent Multicast - PIM) which is handled by the processor on a Cisco IOS device may force the device to incorrectly flag the input queue on an interface as full, which will cause the router to stop processing inbound traffic on that interface. This can cause routing protocols to drop due to dead timers. Interfaces which are explicitly configured to run PIM will not be affected by traffic with protocol type 103. An interface with PIM enabled will have one of the following three commands in the interface configuration: ip pim dense-mode, ip pim sparse-mode, or ip pim sparse-dense-mode. On Ethernet interfaces, Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) times out after a default time of four hours, and no traffic can be processed. The device must be rebooted to clear the input queue on the interface, and will not reload without user intervention. The attack may be repeated on all interfaces causing the router to be remotely inaccessible. A workaround is available, and is documented in the Workarounds section. The following two Cisco vulnerabilities are documented in DDTS: CSCea02355 ( registered customers only) affects all Cisco routers running Cisco IOS software. This documents the flaw with protocols 53, 55, and 77. CSCdz71127 ( registered customers only) was introduced by an earlier code revision, and documents an input queue vulnerability to protocol 103 with a device which is not configured for PIM. Any version of software which has the fix for CSCdx02283 ( registered customers only) is vulnerable. Registered customers can find more details using the Bug Toolkit at http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/Bugtool/launch_bugtool.pl ( registered customers only) . To identify a blocked input interface, use the show interfaces command and look for the Input Queue line. If the current size (in this case, 76) is larger than the maximum size (75), the input queue is blocked. Use the show buffers command and look for the prot field. Below are two examples: Router#show interface ethernet 0/0 Ethernet0/0 is up, line protocol is up Hardware is AmdP2, address is 0050.500e.f1e0 (bia 0050.500e.f1e0) Internet address is 172.16.1.9/24 MTU 1500 bytes, BW 10000 Kbit, DLY 1000 usec, rely 255/255, load 1/255 Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set, keepalive set (10 sec) ARP type: ARPA, ARP Timeout 04:00:00 Last input 00:00:41, output 00:00:07, output hang never Last clearing of "show interface" counters 00:07:18 Input queue: 76/75/1091/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 0 !--- The 76/75 shows that this is blocked Router#show buffers input-interface serial 0/0 Buffer information for Small buffer at 0x612EAF3C data_area 0x7896E84, refcount 1, next 0x0, flags 0x0 linktype 7 (IP), enctype 0 (None), encsize 46, rxtype 0 if_input 0x6159D340 (FastEthernet3/2), if_output 0x0 (None) inputtime 0x0, outputtime 0x0, oqnumber 65535 datagramstart 0x7896ED8, datagramsize 728, maximum size 65436 mac_start 0x7896ED8, addr_start 0x7896ED8, info_start 0x0 network_start 0x7896ED8, transport_start 0x0 source: 212.176.72.138, destination: 212.111.64.174, id: 0xAAB8, ttl: 41, prot: 103 !--- prot: 103 is proof that this is one of the attack packets Impact ====== A device receiving these specifically crafted IPv4 packets will force the inbound interface to stop processing traffic. The device may stop processing packets destined to the router, including routing protocol packets and ARP packets. No alarms will be triggered, nor will the router reload to correct itself. This issue can affect all Cisco devices running Cisco IOS software. This vulnerability may be exercised repeatedly resulting in loss of availability until a workaround has been applied or the device has been upgraded to a fixed version of code. Software Versions and Fixes =========================== Each row of the table 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 and the anticipated date of availability for each are listed in the Rebuild, Interim, and Maintenance columns. In some cases, no rebuild of a particular release is planned; this is marked with the label "Not scheduled." A device running any release in the given train that is earlier than the release in a specific column (less than the earliest fixed release) is known to be vulnerable, and it should be upgraded at least to the indicated release or a later version (greater than the earliest fixed release label). When selecting a release, keep in mind the following definitions: * Maintenance Most heavily tested and highly recommended release of any label in a given row of the table. * Rebuild Constructed from the previous maintenance or major release in the same train, it contains the fix for a specific vulnerability. Although it receives less testing, it contains only the minimal changes necessary to effect the repair. Cisco has made available several rebuilds of mainline trains to address this vulnerability, but strongly recommends running only the latest maintenance release on mainline trains. * Interim Built at regular intervals between maintenance releases and receives less testing. Interims should be selected only if there is no other suitable release that addresses the vulnerability, and interim images should be upgraded to the next available maintenance release as soon as possible. Interim releases are not available through manufacturing, and usually they are not available for customer download from CCO without prior arrangement with the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC). 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.

Please contact the Cisco TAC and request the specific images you need posted. Obtaining Fixed Software ======================== Customers with contracts should obtain upgraded software free of charge through their regular update channels. For most customers, this means that upgrades should be obtained through the Software Center on the Cisco worldwide website at http://www.cisco.com/tacpage/sw-center/sw-ios.shtml. 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 assistance with obtaining the free software upgrade(s). 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(a)cisco.com Please 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. Please do not contact either "psirt(a)cisco.com" or "security-alert(a)cisco.com" for software upgrades. See http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml for additional TAC contact information, including special localized telephone numbers, instructions, and e-mail addresses for use in various languages. Workarounds =========== AFTER APPLYING THE WORKAROUND the input queue depth may be raised with the hold-queue <new value> in interface command -- the default size is 75. This will allow traffic flow on the interface until the device can be reloaded. Cisco recommends that all IOS devices which process IPv4 packets be configured to block traffic directed to the router from any unauthorized source with the use of Access Control Lists (ACLs). This can be done at multiple locations, and it is recommended that you review all methods and use the combination which fits your network best. Legitimate traffic is defined as management protocols such as telnet, snmp or ssh, and configured routing protocols from explicitly allowed peers. All other traffic destined to the device should be blocked at the input interface. Traffic entering the network should also be carefully evaluated and filtered at the network edge if destined to an infrastructure device. Although network service providers must often allow unknown traffic to transit their network, it is not necessary to allow that same traffic destined to their network infrastructure. Several white papers have been written to assist in deploying these recommended security best practices. ACLs can have performance impact on certain platforms, so care should be taken when applying the recommended workarounds. Transit ACLs The following access list is specifically designed to block attack traffic. Note that the attack traffic can include spoofed source addresses. This access list should be applied to all interfaces of the device, and should include topology-specific filters. This could include filtering routing protocol traffic, management protocols, and traffic destined for the internal network. Protocol 103 is Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM), which is a commonly deployed application in multicast networks. Interfaces with PIM enabled have not been found to be vulnerable to exploit traffic with protocol 103; PIM traffic may be permitted to those select devices. access-list 101 deny 53 any any access-list 101 deny 55 any any access-list 101 deny 77 any any access-list 101 deny 103 any any !--- insert any other previously applied ACL entries here !--- you must permit other protocols through to allow normal !--- traffic -- previously defined permit lists will work !--- or you may use the permit ip any any shown here access-list 101 permit ip any any Prior to deploying ACLs that filter transit traffic, a classification ACL can be used to help identify required permit statements. A classification ACL is an ACL that permits a series of protocols. Displaying access-list entry hit counters helps determine required protocols: entries with zero packets counted are likely not required. Classification access-lists are detailed in the link below for infrastructure access-lists. Receive ACLs For distributed platforms, receive path access lists may be an option starting in Cisco IOS Software Versions 12.0(21)S2 for the c12000 and 12.0(24)S for the c7500. The receive access lists protect the device from harmful traffic before the traffic can impact the route processor. The CPU load is distributed to the line card processors and helps mitigate load on the main route processor. The white paper entitled "GSR: Receive Access Control Lists" will help you identify and allow legitimate traffic to your device and deny all unwanted packets: http://www.cisco.com/warp/customer/707/racl.html Infrastructure ACLs Although it is often difficult to block traffic transiting your network, it is possible to identify traffic which should never be allowed to target your infrastructure devices and block that traffic at the border of your network. The white paper entitled "Protecting Your Core: Infrastructure Protection Access Control Lists" presents guidelines and recommended deployment techniques for infrastructure protection ACLs: http://www.cisco.com/warp/customer/707/iacl.html Exploitation and Public Announcements ===================================== Since the initial posting of this document, the Cisco PSIRT has been made aware of public announcements of the vulnerabilities described in this advisory.
