Affected Products


  • Vulnerable Products

    Cisco devices that are running Cisco IOS Software are vulnerable when they are configured to use IKE version 1 (IKEv1).

    A number of features use IKEv1, including different Virtual Private Networks (VPN) such as:

    • LAN-to-LAN VPN
    • Remote access VPN (excluding SSLVPN)
    • Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN)
    • Group Domain of Interpretation (GDOI)
    There are two methods to determine if a device is configured for IKE:
    • Determine if IKE ports are open on a running device
    • Determine if IKE features are included in the device configuration

    Determine if IKE Ports are Open on a Running Device

    The preferred method to determine if a device has been configured for IKE is to issue the show ip sockets or show udp EXEC command. If the device has UDP port 500, UDP port 4500, UDP port 848, or UDP port 4848 open, it is processing IKE packets.

    In the following example, the device is processing IKE packets in UDP port 500 and UDP port 4500, using either IPv4 or IPv6: 

    router# show udp
Proto        Remote      Port      Local       Port  In Out  Stat TTY OutputIF
 17       --listen--          192.168.130.21    500   0   0 1001011   0 
 17(v6)   --listen--          UNKNOWN           500   0   0 1020011   0 
 17       --listen--          192.168.130.21   4500   0   0 1001011   0 
 17(v6)   --listen--          UNKNOWN          4500   0   0 1020011   0 
!--- Output truncated
router#

    Determine if IKE Features are included in the Device Configuration

    To determine if a Cisco IOS device configuration is vulnerable, the administrator needs to establish whether  there is at least one configured feature that uses IKE. This can be achieved by using the show run | include crypto map|tunnel protection ipsec|crypto gdoi enable mode command. If the output of this command contains either crypto map, tunnel protection ipsec, or,  crypto gdoi then  the device contains an IKE configuration. The following example shows a device that has been configured for IKE:
    router# show run | include crypto map|tunnel protection ipsec|crypto gdoi
crypto map CM 100 ipsec-isakmp 
 crypto map CM
router#

    Determine the Cisco IOS Software Release

    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 product that is running Cisco IOS Software Release 15.0(1)M1 with an installed image name of C3900-UNIVERSALK9-M:

    Router> show version 
    Cisco IOS Software, C3900 Software (C3900-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 15.0(1)M1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

    Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable

    Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliance is not affected by this vulnerability.

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

Details

  • The IKE protocol is used in the Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) protocol suite to negotiate cryptographic attributes that will be used to encrypt or authenticate the communication session. These attributes include cryptographic algorithm, mode, and shared keys. The end result of IKE is a shared session secret that will be used to derive cryptographic keys.

    Cisco IOS Software supports IKE for IPv4 and IPv6 communications.  IKE communication can use any of the following UDP ports:

    • UDP port 500
    • UDP port 4500, NAT Traversal (NAT-T)
    • UDP port 848,  Group Domain of Interpretation (GDOI)
    • UDP port 4848, GDOI NAT-T

    The IKEv1 feature of Cisco IOS Software contains a vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a reload of an affected device.

    An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using either IPv4 or IPv6 on any of the listed UDP ports. Spoofing of packets that could exploit this vulnerability is limited because the attacker needs to either receive or have access to the initial response from the vulnerable device.

    This vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCts38429  and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID CVE-2012-0381.

Workarounds

  • There are no workarounds for this vulnerability.

Fixed Software

  • Cisco IOS Software

    Each row of the following Cisco IOS Software table corresponds to a Cisco IOS Software train. If a particular train is vulnerable, the earliest releases that contain the fix are listed in the First Fixed Release column. The First Fixed Release for All Advisories in the March 2012 Bundled Publication column lists the earliest possible releases that correct all the published vulnerabilities in the Cisco IOS Software Security Advisory bundled publication. Cisco recommends upgrading to the latest available release, where possible.

    The Cisco IOS Software Checker allows customers to search for Cisco Security Advisories that address specific Cisco IOS Software releases. This tool is available on the Cisco Security (SIO) portal at https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/selectIOSVersion.x
