•New Vendor Signatures
Miscellaneous Changes and Enhancements
The following changes and enhancements exist in MARS, Release 6.0.6:
•SNMP v. 3.0 Support—Leveraging a secure communication protocol between MARS and Cisco security enforcement devices, customers can be assured that they are securely mitigating attacks and configuring and managing devices. SNMPv3 support enables the following features:
–Per-device SNMPv3 credentials are used for manual discovery and layer 2 mitigation.
Note For those devices that support SNMPv3, you can now configure SNMP credentials in either the version 1 or version 3 format. For older devices, you will not see the new configuration options.
–Support for SNMPv3 credentials for an entire network or range of IP addresses. The MARS autodiscovery feature clones the credentials for an autodiscovered device on that network.
–Monitor the health of supported devices via SNMPv3 via the resource utilization charts that you can add to the Summary > My Reports subtab.
Table 1 identifies the Cisco devices and level of SNMPv3 support provided by MARS:

•Internet Explorer 8 Support—MARS supports Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 without requiring compatibility mode. Due to the nature of security revisions in Internet Explorer, you may find that you must authenticate more frequently to the MARS appliance.
•Improved Device Support—MARS now includes backward compatible support for ASA 8.0.5 and IOS 15.0(1)M. Backward compatible support means that any events that MARS parsed for ASA 8.0.4 or IOS 12.4 (11) T2 have been verified to parse in the corresponding newer release.

Upgrade Instructions
The MARS upgrade packages are the primary vehicle for major, minor, and patch software releases. As administrator of the MARS Appliance, you should check the upgrade site regularly for upgrades. In addition to addressing high-priority caveats, upgrade packages update system inspection rules, event types, and provide the most recent signature support.
For detailed instructions on planning and performing an upgrade or install, refer to "Checklist for Upgrading the Appliance Software" in the Cisco Security MARS Initial Configuration and Upgrade Guide.
Important Upgrade Notes
To ensure that the upgrade from earlier releases is trouble free, this section contains the notes provided in previous releases according the release number. Please refer to the notes that pertain to the release you are upgrading from and any releases following that one.
General Notes
The following general notes apply to this release:
•When downloading software packages from CCO to MARS, ensure that your credentials (username or password) do not include the ampersand (&) character. The credential will be truncated before being passed to the authentication module, which results in an error message about invalid user credentials.
•The CS-MARS 110R running the FIPS-compliant card cannot be managed by a Global Controller.
•The MARS Appliance performs a file system consistency check (fsck) on all disks when either of the following conditions is met:
–The system has not been rebooted during the past 180 days.
–The system has been rebooted 30 times.
The fsck operation takes a long time to complete, which can result in significant unplanned downtime when rebooting the system after meeting a condition above. For example, a MARS 50 appliance can take up to 90 minutes to perform the operation.
Upgrade to 6.0.6
No important notes exist for the 6.0.6 upgrade.
Upgrade to 6.0.5
The 6.0.5 release is a general bug fix and signature update release for all MARS appliance models. However, it offers new functionality for an existing CS-MARS 110R when you order and install a FIPS-compliant PCI card. Once installed, you can configure FIPS-specific features within MARS. For more information, see the CS-MARS FIPS PCI CARD Quick Install document.
Upgrade to 6.0.4
No important notes exist for the 6.0.4 upgrade.
Upgrade to 6.0.3
No important notes exist for the 6.0.3 upgrade.
Upgrade to 6.0.2
No important notes exist for the 6.0.2 upgrade.
Upgrade to 6.0.1
The upgrade process to 6.0.1 differs based on the release you are upgrading from. If you are upgrading a 5.x release, you can upgrade to 6.0.1 if you are running 5.3.6. The upgrade from 5.3.6 to 6.0.1 takes several hours, as it also upgrades the Oracle database running on the appliance. If you are running an earlier 5.x release, you must first upgrade to 5.3.6 (see Upgrade to 5.3.6 for details).
However, if you are upgrading a 4.x release, you must migrate the system instead of upgrading. To migrate from a 4.x, you must follow the step-by-step instructions specified in the Migrating Data from Cisco Security MARS 4.x to 6.0.1.
Note When upgrading a "restricted" model of MARS appliance (20R, 100e, or GCm) to MARS Software release 6.0.1, all limits enforced by the restricted model are ignored. The "restricted" models perform as unrestricted models (20, 100, or GC) once upgraded to release 6.0.1.
Upgrade to 5.3.6
For notes that are specific to the upgrade to the 5.3.6 release, as well as all previous 5.x releases, see the Release Notes for Cisco Security MARS Appliance 5.3.6.
Upgrade to 4.3.6
For notes that are specific to the upgrade to the 4.3.6 release, as well as all previous 4.x releases, see the Release Notes for Cisco Security MARS Appliance 4.3.6.
Upgrade Path Matrix
When upgrading from one software release to another, a prerequisite release is always required. This prerequisite release is the minimum level required to be running on the appliance before you can upgrade to the most recent release. Table 2 identifies the upgrade path that you must follow to reach the minimum level required to upgrade to current release.

Documentation Errata
•CSCsl14244. User guide does not discuss role of Nessus in the MARS system.
To determine whether specific incidents are false positives, MARS uses Nessus 2.x GPL plug-ins and custom scripts mapped to specific MARS event types. MARS does not use Nessus to perform vulnerability assessments or related reporting.
MARS uses Nessus as one component in determining false positives. When a host resides on a network listed under "Networks for Dynamic Vulnerability Scanning", then MARS uses Nessus to help ascertain whether an attack targeting that host was likely to be successful. When an event does not have corresponding Nessus Attack Scripting Language (NASL) script, MARS uses nmap OS fingerprinting to determine the destination operating system type, and uses nmap-found-OS to match known operating systems affected by the attack.
•CSCsk77546. Discovery Device with SSH 512 module not supported.
The OpenSSH client used by MARS does not support modulus sizes smaller than 768. For example, you cannot discover a device using a SSH login that has 512-byte key.
Important Notes
The following notes apply to the MARS 6.0.x releases:
•CSCsu50839—Report Result Page saves the previous "Other views" selection
If you change the "Other Views" options in the report result page, the changes persist for that report and for that browser. When the report results are viewed later, the browser shows the saved options but the results displayed are always the default options results.
To avoid this issue, always click Display Report to view a scheduled report's results.
•If the client system used to access the MARS GUI is not on the same side of the NAT boundary as the a MARS appliance and the Security Manager server, you can perform policy lookup in read-only mode. However, you cannot start the Security Manager client from the read-only policy lookup table to modify matching policies. The Security Manager client must be on the same side of the NAT as the MARS appliance and the Security Manager server if you want to modify the matching policy from MARS. This restriction is also true if you want to query MARS events from policies.
•The performance of the Summary Page degrades when too many reports are added under My Reports. The smaller the number of reports under My Reports, the faster the Summary page loads. To ensure adequate performance, limit the number of reports to 6. This issue is partially described in CSCse18865.
•Do not to use DISTINCT or SAME in queries, and do not run multi-line queries in Release x.3.4 through 6.0.1. If you run such a query, the system time outs after 20 minutes without returning any results. The message "Timeout Occurred" appears instead. You can use DISTINCT and SAME in a Query to create a rule with the Query interface.
•For Symantec AntiVirus, the Symantec agent hostname (AV client computer name) appears in the "Reported User" column of the event data. Therefore, you can define a query, report or rule related to this agent based on the "Reported User" value.interface. For
•The False Positive and Query pages (multi-column result format) have changed. You can now query on firing events that triggered false positives within a time interval. Such queries will render events that did not appear on the False Positive page. To ensure performance, the False Positive page only displays false positives from the most recent 10,000 firing events. To view additional false positives, you must perform a query.
The following notes describe new behavior based on the resolution of specific caveats. Be sure to check the upgrade notes for each release for important notes on data migration.

Description

CSCsc50636, CSCsc50652
|
Issues: Back-end IPS process runs at 99% CPU when pulling large IP Logs The Back-end IPS process reaches 1GB in memory used when pulling IP Logs. The process names depending on the version on MARS that is running:
•In release 4.2.1 and earlier, the process names are pnids50_srv and pnids40_srv.
•In release 4.2.2 and later, the process is named csips.
These related issues, are specific to pulling IP logs from Cisco IDS/ IPS devices. The symptom is that the Back-end IPS service consumes the system resources on the MARS Appliance. As an improper configuration of the sensor can significantly degrade the sensor performance as well as that of MARS.
Workaround: Ensure that settings for IP log creation on the sensor limit the size of the IP log (in terms of number of bytes or number of packets captured). Also, verify that IP packet logging is enabled only for signatures of interest and not for all signatures. In addition, the following release-specific maximums are enforced:
•In 4.2.1, a 100 file maximum is enforced for the log file queue when the MARS is configured to pull IP log files. Therefore, it may not pull every IP log file. In addition, the complete IP Log file may not be pulled, instead, data is pulled from the file starting 5 minutes before the alert was generated through the end of the file.
•In 4.2.2, a 1,000 file maximum (up from 100 in 4.2.1) is enforced for the log file queue when the MARS is configured to pull IP log files. The complete IP Log file may not be pulled, instead, data is pulled from the file starting 1 minute (down from 5 minutes in 4.2.1) before the alert was generated through the end of the file. And last, 100KB is the maximum IP log size that can be pulled from a MARS Appliance.
