Cisco Security Advisory-
An industry-wide vulnerability exists in the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol that could impact any Cisco product that uses any version of TLS and SSL. The vulnerability exists in how the protocol handles session renegotiation and exposes users to a potential man-in-the-middle attack.
This advisory is posted at https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20091109-tls.
-
Cisco is currently evaluating products for possible exposure to these TLS issues. Products will only be listed in the Vulnerable Products or Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable sections of this advisory when a final determination about product exposure is made. Products that are not listed in either of these two sections are still being evaluated.
Vulnerable Products
This section will be updated when more information is available. The following products are confirmed to be vulnerable:
- Cisco Internet Streamer CDS
- Cisco ACE 4700 Series Application Control Engine Appliances
- Cisco ACE Application Control Engine Module
- Cisco ACE GSS 4400 Series Global Site Selector Appliances
- Cisco ACE Web Application Firewall
- Cisco Wireless Control System
- Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC)
Note: Extensible Authentication Protocol Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS) and Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) are not affected by this vulnerability. - Cisco Wireless Location Appliance
- CiscoWorks Wireless LAN Solution Engine (WLSE)
- Cisco Digital Media Player
- Cisco Digital Media Manager
- Cisco Access Control Server (ACS)
- CiscoWorks Common Services
- Cisco Telepresence Recording Server

- Catalyst 6500 Series and Cisco 7600 Series Firewall Services Module (FWSM)
- Cisco AVS 3120 and 3180 Series Application Velocity System
- Cisco CSS 11500 Series Content Services Switches
The CSS 11500 Series Content Services Switches are affected by this vulnerability with default configurations. However, the client authentication feature can be enabled as mitigation/solution.
To enable or disable client authentication on a virtual SSL server, use the ssl-server <number> authentication command under the ssl-proxy-list.
Note: By default, client authentication is disabled. After you enable client authentication on the CSS, you must specify a CA certificate that the CSS uses to verify client certificates. - Cisco Content Switching Module (CSM)
- Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS)
- Cisco Application Networking Manager (ANM)
- Cisco Unified IP Phones
- Cisco ONS 15500 Series
- Cisco Unified Contact Center Products

TLS and its predecessor, SSL, are cryptographic protocols that provide security for communications over IP data networks such as the Internet. An industry-wide vulnerability exists in the TLS protocol that could impact any Cisco product that uses any version of TLS and SSL. The vulnerability exists in how the protocol handles session renegotiation and exposes users to a potential man-in-the-middle attack.
Note: Extensible Authentication Protocol Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS) and Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) are not affected by this vulnerability.
The following Cisco Bug IDs are being used to track potential exposure to the SSL and TLS issues. The bugs listed below do not confirm that a product is vulnerable, but rather that the product is under investigation by the appropriate product teams.
Registered Cisco customers can view these bugs via Cisco's Bug Toolkit: http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/Support/Bugtool/launch_bugtool.pl

This vulnerability has been assigned the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) identifier CVE-2009-3555.
-
There are no known workarounds.
-
This section will be updated to include fixed software versions for affected Cisco products as they become available.
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 software table below lists a product that has been patched to disable SSL/TLS renegotiation and the version(s) of software which contains the fix. A device running a release that is earlier than the release in a specific column (less than the First Fixed in Release) is known to be vulnerable. The release should be upgraded at least to the indicated release or a later version.
