Vulnerability Overview

Information about vulnerable, unaffected, and fixed software is available in the Cisco Security Advisories, which are available at the following links:

Mitigation Technique Overview

Cisco devices provide several countermeasures for these vulnerabilities. Administrators are advised to consider these protection methods to be general security best practices for infrastructure devices and the traffic that transits the network. This section of the document provides an overview of these techniques.

Cisco IOS Software can provide effective means of exploit prevention using transit access control lists (tACLs)

This protection mechanism filters and drops packets that are attempting to exploit these vulnerabilities.

Effective means of exploit prevention can also be provided by the Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliance, Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series ASA Services Module (ASASM), and the Firewall Services Module (FWSM) for Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches and Cisco 7600 Series Routers using the following:
- tACLs
- TCP normalization
These protection mechanisms filter and drop packets that are attempting to exploit these vulnerabilities.

Effective exploit prevention can also be provided by the Cisco ACE Application Control Engine Appliance and Module using TCP normalization.

This protection mechanism filters and drops packets that are attempting to exploit these vulnerabilities.

Cisco IOS NetFlow records can provide visibility into network-based exploitation attempts.

Cisco IOS Software, Cisco ASA, Cisco ASASM, Cisco FWSM firewalls, and Cisco ACE Application Control Engine Appliance and Module can provide visibility through syslog messages and counter values displayed in the output from show commands.

Effective use of Cisco Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) event actions provides visibility into and protection against attacks that attempt to exploit these vulnerabilities.

The Cisco Security Manager can also provide visibility through incidents, queries, and event reporting.

Risk Management

Organizations are advised to follow their standard risk evaluation and mitigation processes to determine the potential impact of these vulnerabilities. Triage refers to sorting projects and prioritizing efforts that are most likely to be successful. Cisco has provided documents that can help organizations develop a risk-based triage capability for their information security teams. Risk Triage for Security Vulnerability Announcements and Risk Triage and Prototyping can help organizations develop repeatable security evaluation and response processes.

Device-Specific Mitigation and Identification

Caution: The effectiveness of any mitigation technique depends on specific customer situations such as product mix, network topology, traffic behavior, and organizational mission. As with any configuration change, evaluate the impact of this configuration prior to applying the change.

Specific information about mitigation and identification is available for these devices:

Mitigation: Transit Access Control Lists

To protect the network from traffic that enters the network at ingress access points, which may include Internet connection points, partner and supplier connection points, or VPN connection points, administrators are advised to deploy transit access control lists (tACLs) to perform policy enforcement. Administrators can construct a tACL by explicitly permitting only authorized traffic to enter the network at ingress access points or permitting authorized traffic to transit the network in accordance with existing security policies and configurations. A tACL workaround cannot provide complete protection against these vulnerabilities when the attack originates from a trusted source address.

The tACL policy denies unauthorized IPv4 and IPv6 packets on TCP ports 9004, 5060, 9043, and 9443 that are sent to affected devices. In the following example, 192.168.60.0/24 and 2001:DB8:1:60::/64 represent the IP address space that is used by the affected devices, and the hosts at 192.168.100.1 and 2001:DB8::100:1 are considered trusted sources that require access to the affected devices. Care should be taken to allow required traffic for routing and administrative access prior to denying all unauthorized traffic.

Additional information about tACLs is in Transit Access Control Lists: Filtering at Your Edge.

 ipv6 traffic-filter IPv6-Transit-ACL-Policy in

Note that filtering with an interface access list will elicit the transmission of ICMP unreachable messages back to the source of the filtered traffic. Generating these messages could have the undesired effect of increasing CPU utilization on the device. In Cisco IOS Software, ICMP unreachable generation is limited to one packet every 500 milliseconds by default. ICMP unreachable message generation can be disabled using the interface configuration commands no ip unreachables and no ipv6 unreachables. ICMP unreachable rate limiting can be changed from the default using the global configuration commands ip icmp rate-limit unreachable interval-in-ms and ipv6 icmp error-interval interval-in-ms.

Identification: Transit Access Control Lists

After the administrator applies the tACL to an interface, the show ip access-lists and show ipv6 access-list commands will identify the number of IPv4 and IPv6 packets on TCP ports 9004, 5060, 9043, and 9443 that have been filtered. Administrators are advised to investigate filtered packets to determine whether they are attempts to exploit these vulnerabilities. Example output for show ip access-lists 150 and show ipv6 access-list IPv6-Transit-ACL-Policy follows:

router#show ip access-lists 150
Extended IP access list 150

    30 permit tcp host 192.168.100.1 192.168.60.0 0.0.0.255 eq 9043
    40 permit tcp host 192.168.100.1 192.168.60.0 0.0.0.255 eq 9443
    50 deny tcp any 192.168.60.0 0.0.0.255 eq 9004 (3 matches)

In the preceding example, access list 150 has dropped the following packets received from an untrusted host or network:

3 packets on TCP port 9004 for ACE line 50
40 SIP packets on TCP port 5060 for ACE line 60
17 packets on TCP port 9043 for ACE line 70
19 packets on TCP port 9443 for ACE line 80

    permit icmp any any nd-ns (80 matches) sequence 90
    permit icmp any any nd-na (91 matches) sequence 100
    deny ipv6 any any (121 matches) sequence 110

In the preceding example, access list IPv6-Transit-ACL-Policy has dropped the following packets received from an untrusted host or network:

19 packets on TCP port 9004 for ACE line 50
16 SIP packets on TCP port 5060 for ACE line 60
8 packets on TCP port 9043 for ACE line 70
39 packets on TCP port 9443 for ACE line 80

For additional information about investigating incidents using ACE counters and syslog events, reference the Identifying Incidents Using Firewall and IOS Router Syslog Events Cisco Security Intelligence Operations white paper.

Administrators can use Embedded Event Manager to provide instrumentation when specific conditions are met, such as ACE counter hits. The Cisco Security Intelligence Operations white paper Embedded Event Manager in a Security Context provides additional details about how to use this feature.

Identification: Access List Logging

The log and log-input access control list (ACL) option will cause packets that match specific ACEs to be logged. The log-input option enables logging of the ingress interface in addition to the packet source and destination IP addresses and ports.

Caution: Access control list logging can be very CPU intensive and must be used with extreme caution. Factors that drive the CPU impact of ACL logging are log generation, log transmission, and process switching to forward packets that match log-enabled ACEs.

For Cisco IOS Software, the ip access-list logging interval interval-in-ms command can limit the effects of process switching induced by IPv4 ACL logging. The logging rate-limit rate-per-second except loglevel command limits the impact of log generation and transmission.

The CPU impact from ACL logging can be addressed in hardware on the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches and Cisco 7600 Series Routers with Supervisor Engine 720 or Supervisor Engine 32 using optimized ACL logging.

For additional information about the configuration and use of ACL logging, reference the Understanding Access Control List Logging Cisco Security white paper.

Cisco IOS NetFlow and Cisco IOS Flexible NetFlow

Identification: IPv4 Traffic Flow Identification Using Cisco IOS NetFlow

Administrators can configure Cisco IOS NetFlow on Cisco IOS routers and switches to aid in the identification of IPv4 traffic flows that may be attempts to exploit these vulnerabilities. Administrators are advised to investigate flows to determine whether they are attempts to exploit these vulnerabilities or whether they are legitimate traffic flows.

Identification: IPv4 Traffic Flow Identification Using Cisco Flexible NetFlow

Introduced in Cisco IOS Software Releases 12.2(31)SB2 and 12.4(9)T, Cisco IOS Flexible NetFlow improves original Cisco NetFlow by adding the capability to customize the traffic analysis parameters for the administrator's specific requirements. Original Cisco NetFlow uses a fixed seven tuples of IP information to identify a flow, whereas Cisco IOS Flexible NetFlow allows the flow to be user defined. It facilitates the creation of more complex configurations for traffic analysis and data export by using reusable configuration components.

The following example output is from a Cisco IOS device that is running a version of Cisco IOS Software in the 15.1T train. Although the syntax will be almost identical for the 12.4T and 15.0 trains, it may vary slightly depending on the actual Cisco IOS release being used. In the following configuration, Cisco IOS Flexible NetFlow will collect information on interface GigabitEthernet0/0 for incoming IPv4 flows based on source IPv4 address, as defined by the match ipv4 source address key field statement. Cisco IOS Flexible NetFlow will also include nonkey field information about source and destination IPv4 addresses, protocol, ports (if present), ingress and egress interfaces, and packets per flow.

Mitigation: Transit Access Control Lists

To protect the network from traffic that enters the network at ingress access points, which may include Internet connection points, partner and supplier connection points, or VPN connection points, administrators are advised to deploy tACLs to perform policy enforcement. Administrators can construct a tACL by explicitly permitting only authorized traffic to enter the network at ingress access points or permitting authorized traffic to transit the network in accordance with existing security policies and configurations. A tACL workaround cannot provide complete protection against these vulnerabilities when the attack originates from a trusted source address.

The tACL policy denies unauthorized IPv4 and IPv6 packets on TCP ports 9004, 5060, 9043, and 9443, that are sent to affected devices. In the following example, 192.168.60.0/24 and 2001:DB8:1:60::/64 represent the IP address space that is used by the affected devices, and the hosts at 192.168.100.1 and 2001:DB8::100:1 are considered trusted sources that require access to the affected devices. Care should be taken to allow required traffic for routing and administrative access prior to denying all unauthorized traffic.

Additional information about tACLs is in Transit Access Control Lists: Filtering at Your Edge.

Identification: Transit Access Control Lists

After the tACL has been applied to an interface, administrators can use the show access-list command to identify the number of IPv4 and IPv6 packets on TCP ports 9004, 5060, 9043, and 9443 that have been filtered. Administrators are advised to investigate filtered packets to determine whether they are attempts to exploit these vulnerabilities. Example output for show access-list tACL-Policy and show access-list IPv6-tACL-Policy follows:

49 SIP packets on TCP port 5060 for ACE line 6
67 packets on TCP port 9043 for ACE line 7
80 packets on TCP port 9443 for ACE line 8

In addition, syslog message 106023 can provide valuable information, which includes the source and destination IP address, the source and destination port numbers, and the IP protocol for the denied packet.

Identification: Firewall Access List Syslog Messages

Firewall syslog message 106023 will be generated for packets denied by an access control entry (ACE) that does not have the log keyword present. Additional information about this syslog message is in Cisco ASA 5500 Series System Log Message, 8.2 - 106023.

Information about configuring syslog for the Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliance is in Monitoring - Configuring Logging. Information about configuring syslog on the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series ASA Services Module is in Configuring Logging. Information about configuring syslog on the FWSM for Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches and Cisco 7600 Series Routers is in Monitoring the Firewall Services Module.

In the following example, the show logging | grep regex command extracts syslog messages from the logging buffer on the firewall. These messages provide additional information about denied packets that could indicate potential attempts to exploit the vulnerabilities that are described in this document. It is possible to use different regular expressions with the grep keyword to search for specific data in the logged messages.

Additional information about regular expression syntax is in Creating a Regular Expression.

Mitigation: TCP Normalization

The TCP normalization feature identifies abnormal packets that the security appliance can act on when they are detected; for example, the security appliance can allow, drop, or clear the packets. The TCP normalizer includes nonconfigurable actions and configurable actions. Typically, nonconfigurable actions that drop or clear connections apply to packets that are considered malicious. TCP normalization is available beginning in software release 7.0(1) for the Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliance, software release 8.5 for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series ASA Services Module, and in software release 3.1(1) for the Cisco Firewall Services Module.

TCP normalization is enabled by default and drops packets that may exploit these vulnerabilities. Protection against packets that may exploit these vulnerabilities is a non-configurable TCP normalization action; no configuration changes are required to enable this functionality.

The TCP normalization feature can be used to limit the concurrent connection limit and idle timeout for TCP connections to the Cisco Unified Presence Server, thus preventing the DoS condition. The limits should be configured according to the maximum normal number of connections observed toward the Cisco Unified Presence Server. The reader should note that configuring the TCP normalizer to prevent an abnormal number of connections to the Cisco Unified Presence Server will not prevent a persistent attacker from exhausting the allowed number of connections but it will prevent the Cisco Unified Presence Server from running out of memory due to many idle connections.

Note: Care should be taken with the limits set in each environment as they could deny legitimate connections if they are not set to adhere to the legitimate maximum limits for the specific environment.

In the following example, 192.168.60.200/24 is the IP address of the affected device. The configuration limits the TCP concurrent connections to the device to 1000 and sets the connection idle timeout to 30 minutes. Care should be taken with the limits set in each environments as they could deny legitimate connections if they are not set to adhere to the normal maximum limits for the specific environment.

Identification: TCP Normalization

For the Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliance the show service-policy command can identify the number of packets that the TCP normalization feature has dropped, as shown in the following example:

firewall# show service-policy set connection detail

Global policy:
  Service-policy: global_policy
    Class-map: CVE-2013-1137-cm
      Set connection policy: conn-max 10000

For additional information about debugging accelerated security path dropped packets or connections, reference the Cisco Security Appliance Command Reference for show asp drop.

Cisco ACE

Mitigation: TCP Normalization

TCP normalization is a Layer 4 feature that consists of a series of checks that the Cisco ACE performs at various stages of a flow, beginning with the initial connection setup through the closing of a connection. Many of the segment checks can be controlled or altered by configuring one or more advanced TCP connection settings. The Cisco ACE uses these TCP connection settings to decide which checks to perform and whether to discard a TCP segment based on the results of the checks. The Cisco ACE discards segments that appear to be abnormal or malformed.

TCP normalization is enabled by default and drops packets that may exploit these vulnerabilities. Protection against packets that may exploit these vulnerabilities is a nonconfigurable TCP normalization action; no configuration changes are required to enable this functionality.

The TCP normalization feature can be used to limit the concurrent connection limit, connection rate and idle timeout for TCP connections to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager, thus preventing the DoS condition. The limits should be configured according to the maximum normal number and rate of connections observed toward the Cisco Unified Communications Manager. The reader should note that configuring the TCP normalizer to prevent an abnormal number of connections to the Cisco Unified Presence Server will not prevent a persistent attacker from exhausting the allowed number of connections but it will prevent the Cisco Unified Presence Server from running out of memory due to many idle connections.

In the following example, 192.168.60.200/24 is the IP address of the affected device. The configuration limits the TCP concurrent connections to the device to 1000, the connection rate to 100000 connections per second and sets the connection idle timeout to 30 minutes.

Cisco Intrusion Prevention System

Mitigation: Cisco IPS Signature Table

Administrators can use the Cisco IPS appliances and services modules to provide threat detection and help prevent attempts to exploit several of the vulnerabilities described in this document. The following table provides an overview of CVE identifiers and the respective Cisco IPS signatures that will trigger events on potential attempts to exploit these vulnerabilities.

CVE ID	Signature Release	Signature ID	Signature Name	Enabled	Severity	Fidelity*
CVE-2013-1137	S593	6009/0	SYN Flood DOS	No	Medium	85
CVE-2013-1137	S573	6920/0	Net Flood TCP	No	Info	100

* Fidelity is also referred to as Signature Fidelity Rating (SFR) and is the relative measure of the accuracy of the signature (predefined). The value ranges from 0 through 100 and is set by Cisco Systems, Inc.

Administrators can configure Cisco IPS sensors to perform an event action when an attack is detected. The configured event action performs preventive or deterrent controls to help protect against an attack that is attempting to exploit the vulnerabilities listed in the preceding table.

Cisco IPS sensors are most effective when deployed in inline protection mode combined with the use of an event action. Automatic Threat Prevention for Cisco IPS 7.x and 6.x sensors that are deployed in inline protection mode provides threat prevention against an attack that is attempting to exploit the vulnerability that is described in this document. Threat prevention is achieved through a default override that performs an event action for triggered signatures with a riskRatingValue greater than 90.

For additional information about the risk rating and threat rating calculation, reference Risk Rating and Threat Rating: Simplify IPS Policy Management.

Cisco Security Manager

Identification: Cisco Security Manager

Cisco Security Manager, Event Viewer

Beginning in software version 4.0, Cisco Security Manager can collect syslogs from Cisco firewalls and Cisco IPS devices and provides the Event Viewer, which can query for events that are related to the vulnerabilities that are described in this document.

Using the IPS Alert Events predefined view in the Event Viewer, the user can enter the search strings 6009/0, and 6920/0 in the event filter to return all captured events related to Cisco IPS signatures 6009/0, and 6920/0.

Using the following filters in the Firewall Denied Events predefined view in the Event Viewer provides all captured Cisco firewall access list deny syslog messages that could indicate potential attempts to exploit the vulnerabilities that are described in this document.

Use the Destination event filter to filter network objects that contain the IP address space that is used by the affected devices (for example, IPv4 address range 192.168.60.0/24 and IPv6 address range 2001:DB8:1:60::/64)
Use the Destination Service event filter to filter objects that contain TCP ports 9004, 5060, 9043, and 9443

An Event Type ID filter can be used with the Firewall Denied Events predefined view in the Event Viewer to filter the syslog IDs shown in the following list to provide all captured Cisco firewall deny syslog messages that could indicate potential attempts to exploit the vulnerabilities that are described in this document:

ASA-4-106023 (ACL deny)

For more information about Cisco Security Manager Events, refer to the Filtering and Querying Events section of the Cisco Security Manager User Guide.

Cisco Security Manager Report Manager

Beginning in software version 4.1, Cisco Security Manager supports the Report Manager, the Cisco IPS event reporting feature. This feature allows an administrator to define reports based on Cisco IPS events of interest. Reports can be scheduled or users can run ad hoc reports as required.

Using the Report Manager, the user can define an IPS Top Signatures report for Cisco IPS devices of interest based on time-range and signature characteristics. When the Signature ID is set to

6009/0
6920/0

Cisco Security Manager will generate a comprehensive report that ranks the count of the alerts fired for the signature of interest compared to the total sum of all signature alerts shown in the report.

Also in the Report Manager, the Top Services report can be used with the following configuration to generate a report of events that indicate potential attempts to exploit the vulnerabilities that are described in this document:

Use the Destination IP network filter to filter network objects that contain the IP address space that is used by the affected devices (for example, IPv4 address range 192.168.60.0/24 and IPv6 address range 2001:DB8:1:60::/64)
Set an action of Deny on the Criteria settings page

For more information about Cisco Security Manager IPS Event Reporting refer to the Understanding IPS Top Reports section of the Cisco Security Manager User Guide.
