The Secure Shell (SSH) server implementation in Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software contains a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability in the SSH version 2 (SSHv2) feature. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by attempting a reverse SSH login with a crafted username. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to create a DoS condition by causing the device to reload. Repeated exploits could create a sustained DoS condition.
The SSH server in Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software is an optional service, but its use is highly recommended as a security best practice for the management of Cisco IOS devices. Devices that are not configured to accept SSHv2 connections are not affected by this vulnerability.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. This advisory is available at the following link: https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20120328-ssh
Note: The March 28, 2012, Cisco IOS Software Security Advisory bundled publication includes nine Cisco Security Advisories. Each advisory lists the Cisco IOS Software releases that correct the vulnerability or vulnerabilities detailed in the advisory as well as the Cisco IOS Software releases that correct all vulnerabilities in the March 2012 bundled publication.
Individual publication links are in "Cisco Event Response: Semi-Annual Cisco IOS Software Security Advisory Bundled Publication" at the following link:http://www.cisco.com/web/about/security/intelligence/Cisco_ERP_mar12.html

Vulnerable Products
Cisco devices that are running affected Cisco IOS Software or Cisco IOS XE Software versions are vulnerable when they have the SSH server enabled and allow SSHv2 logins. Only SSHv2 is affected.
To determine if SSH is enabled, use the show ip ssh command.Router#show ip ssh
SSH Enabled - version 2.0
Authentication timeout: 120 secs; Authentication retries: 3
The previous output shows that SSH is enabled on this device and that the SSH protocol major version that is being supported is 2.0. Possible values for the SSH protocol versions that are reported by Cisco IOS are:- 1.5: only SSH protocol version 1 is enabled
- 1.99: SSH protocol version 2 with SSH protocol version 1 compatibility enabled
- 2.0: only SSH protocol version 2 is enabled
The SSH server is not available in all IOS images. If the show ip ssh command is not available, the device is not vulnerable. Devices that do not support SSHv2 are not vulnerable.
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)

Secure Shell (SSH) is a protocol which provides a secure remote access connection to network devices.
The SSH server implementation in Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software contains a DoS vulnerability in the SSH version 2 (SSHv2) feature that could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to cause a device to reload. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by attempting a reverse SSH login with a crafted username. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to create a DoS condition by causing the device to reload. Repeated exploits could create a sustained DoS condition.
The SSH server in Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software is an optional service, but its use is highly recommended as a security best practice for management of Cisco IOS devices. SSH can be configured as part of the AutoSecure feature in the initial configuration of IOS devices, AutoSecure run after initial configuration, or manually. SSH is enabled any time RSA keys are generated such as when an http secure-server or trust points for digital certificates are configured. Devices that are not configured to accept SSHv2 connections are not affected by this vulnerability.
A complete TCP three-way handshake is required to exploit this vulnerability. Reverse SSH traffic uses TCP port 22 by default.
This vulnerability has been documented in Cisco Bug ID CSCtr49064 and has been assigned the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID CVE-2012-0386.

If disabling the IOS SSH Server is not feasible, the following workarounds may be useful to some customers in their environments.
SSH version 1
This vulnerability only affects SSHv2, so it can be temporarily mitigated by applying the ip ssh version 1 global configuration command until a software update can be completed. Customers should be aware of the limitations and vulnerabilities of SSH version 1 protocol before applying this workaround.
vty Access Class
It is possible to limit the exposure of the Cisco device by applying a vty access class to allow only known, trusted hosts to connect to the device via SSH.
For more information on restricting traffic to a vty, please consult: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_2/ipaddr/command/reference/1rfip1.html#wp1017389.
The following example permits access to the vty lines from the 192.168.1.0/24 netblock and the single IP address 172.16.1.2 while denying access from anywhere else:
Router(config)# access-list 1 permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255
Router(config)# access-list 1 permit host 172.16.1.2
Router(config)# line vty 0 4
Router(config-line)# access-class 1 inDifferent Cisco platforms support a different amount of terminal lines. Check your device's configuration to determine the correct number of terminal lines for your platform.
Infrastructure Access Control Lists
Although it is often difficult to block traffic transiting your network, it is possible to identify traffic that should never be allowed to target your infrastructure devices and block that traffic at the border of your network. Infrastructure access control lists (iACLs) are considered a network security best practice and should be considered as a long-term addition to good network security as well as a workaround for this specific vulnerability. The ACL example shown below should be included as part of the deployed infrastructure access-list, which will protect all devices with IP addresses in the infrastructure IP address range.
A sample access list for devices running Cisco IOS is below:
!--- Permit SSH services from trusted hosts destined
!--- to infrastructure addresses.
access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS MASK INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES MASK eq 22
!--- Deny SSH packets from all other sources destined to infrastructure addresses.
access-list 150 deny tcp any INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES MASK eq 22
!--- Permit all other traffic to transit the device.
access-list 150 permit IP any any
interface serial 2/0
ip access-group 150 in
The white paper titled "Protecting Your Core: Infrastructure Protection Access Control Lists" presents guidelines and recommended deployment techniques for infrastructure protection access lists. This white paper is located at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk361/technologies_white_paper09186a00801a1a55.shtml.
Control Plane Policing
The Control Plane Policing (CoPP) feature may be used to mitigate these vulnerabilities. In the following example, only SSH traffic from trusted hosts with receive destination IP addresses is permitted to reach the route processor (RP).
Note: Dropping traffic from unknown or untrusted IP addresses may affect hosts with dynamically assigned IP addresses from connecting to the Cisco IOS device.
access-list 152 deny tcp TRUSTED_ADDRESSES MASK any eq 22
access-list 152 permit tcp any any eq 22
!
class-map match-all COPP-KNOWN-UNDESIRABLE
match access-group 152
!
!
policy-map COPP-INPUT-POLICY
class COPP-KNOWN-UNDESIRABLE
drop
!
control-plane
service-policy input COPP-INPUT-POLICY
In the above CoPP example, the ACL entries that match the exploit packets with the permit action result in these packets being discarded by the policy-map drop function, while packets that match the deny action are not affected by the policy-map drop function.
Additional information on the configuration and use of the CoPP feature can be found at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/iosswrel/ps6537/ps6586/ps6642/prod_white_paper0900aecd804fa16a.html

When considering software upgrades, customers are advised to consult the Cisco Security Advisories and Responses archive at http://www.cisco.com/go/psirt and review subsequent advisories to determine exposure and a complete upgrade solution.
In all cases, customers should ensure that the devices to be upgraded contain sufficient memory and confirm that current hardware and software configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release. If the information is not clear, customers are advised to contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or their contracted maintenance providers.
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.
