SOFTWARE (fc1)

Upgrading to a New Software Release

For general information about upgrading to a new software release, refer to Upgrading the Cisco IOS Software Release in Cisco Routers and Modems located at:

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/732/ 

Feature Support

Cisco IOS software is packaged in feature sets that consist of software images that support specific platforms. The feature sets available for a specific platform depend on which Cisco IOS software images are included in a release. Each feature set contains a specific set of Cisco IOS features.


Caution Cisco IOS images with strong encryption (including, but not limited to 168-bit (3DES) data encryption feature sets) are subject to U.S. government export controls and have limited distribution. Strong encryption images to be installed outside the United States are likely to require an export license. Customer orders may be denied or subject to delay because of U.S. government regulations. When applicable, the purchaser/user must obtain local import and use authorizations for all encryption strengths. Please contact your sales representative or distributor for more information, or send an e-mail to export@cisco.com.

The feature set tables have been removed from the Cisco IOS Release 12.3 release notes to improve the usability of the release notes documentation. The feature-to-image mapping that was provided by the feature set tables is available through Cisco Feature Navigator.

Cisco Feature Navigator is a web-based tool that enables you to determine which Cisco IOS software images support a specific set of features and which features are supported in a specific Cisco IOS image. You can search by feature or by feature set (software image). Under the release section, you can compare Cisco IOS software releases side by side to display both the features unique to each software release and the features that the releases have in common.

To access Cisco Feature Navigator, you must have an account on Cisco.com. If you have forgotten or lost your account information, send a blank e-mail to cco-locksmith@cisco.com. An automatic check will verify that your e-mail address is registered with Cisco.com. If the check is successful, account details with a new random password will be e-mailed to you. Qualified users can establish an account on Cisco.com by following the directions found at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/register

Cisco Feature Navigator is updated regularly when major Cisco IOS software releases and technology releases occur. For the most current information, go to the Cisco Feature Navigator home page at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/go/fn

Open Caveats—Cisco IOS Release 12.3(14)YU1

This section documents possible unexpected behavior by Cisco IOS Release 12.3(14)YU1 and describes only severity 1 and 2 caveats and select severity 3 caveats.

CSCeg03019

Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) may not work over different tunnels.

This issue occurs when both generic routing encapsulation (GRE) and IP in IP (IPIP) tunnels are configured, and the packet traverses both.

There are no known workarounds.

Resolved Caveats—Cisco IOS Release 12.3(14)YU1

All the caveats listed in this section are resolved in Cisco IOS Release 12.3(14)YU1. This section describes only severity 1 and 2 caveats and select severity 3 caveats.

CSCei33960

A Cisco GGSN in GTP-SR redundancy configuration may unexpectedly reload under the following situations:

After one round of switchover, the new active GGSN (the previous standby GGSN) may unexpectedly reload during bulk-sync after the new standby GGSN boots up.

This unexpected reload may occur after the following sequence of events:

1. The GGSN is loaded up as standby.

2. The standby GGSN recreates PDPs and GTP paths as PDPs are synced from the active GGSN.

3. The GTP path are deleted on the active but the deleted path may fail to sync to the standby GGSN due to whatever reasons.

4. While the GTP path is present on the standby GGSN, the same GTP path is created again on the active due to new PDPs are created.

5. The new created GTP path is synced to the standby.

6. After the GTP path is deleted on the standby, the standby becomes the new active after switchover. Now if this new active does bulksync, it unexpectedly reloads.

There are no known workarounds.

CSCei61732

Cisco IOS may permit arbitrary code execution after exploitation of a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability. Cisco has included additional integrity checks in its software, as further described below, that are intended to reduce the likelihood of arbitrary code execution.

Cisco has made free software available that includes the additional integrity checks for affected customers.

This advisory is posted at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20051102-timers.shtml.

CSCsb17078

Spurious Memory Access is seen on the GGSN.

This issue occurs when executing the getmany command on the MIB, CISCO-GPRS-ACC-PT-MIB.

There are no known workarounds.

CSCsb22886

Charging gateway (CG) switchover fails.

This issue occurs when a CG sends a redirection message, but the GGSN fails to switch the backup CG to the current CG if the path protocol is TCP

Workaround: Use UDP.

CSCsb24007

Multiple voice-related vulnerabilities are identified in Cisco IOS software, one of which is also shared with Cisco Unified Communications Manager. These vulnerabilities pertain to the following protocols or features:

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)

Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP)

Signaling protocols H.323, H.254

Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP)

Facsimile reception

Cisco has made free software available to address these vulnerabilities for affected customers. Fixed Cisco IOS software listed in the Software Versions and Fixes section contains fixes for all vulnerabilities mentioned in this advisory.

There are no workarounds available to mitigate the effects of any of the vulnerabilities apart from disabling the protocol or feature itself.

This advisory is posted at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20070808-IOS-voice.shtml

CSCsb39865

In Cisco Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) running release 5.2 and 6.0 software, the CAUSE IE in PDP update-context-response from GGSN shall be set to 201 (Mandatory IE incorrect) on receiving a PDP update-context-request with Max Bit-Rate (MBR) set to 0 KBPS

This occurs when SGSN sends PDP update-context-request to GGSN with Uplink/Downlink Max Bit Rate (MBR) set to zero KBPS.

There are no known workarounds.

Using the online TAC Case Open Tool is the fastest way to open P3 and P4 cases. (P3 and P4 cases are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Case Open Tool automatically recommends resources for an immediate solution. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your case will be assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer. The online TAC Case Open Tool is located at this URL:

For P1 or P2 cases (P1 and P2 cases are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded) or if you do not have Internet access, contact Cisco TAC by telephone. Cisco TAC engineers are assigned immediately to P1 and P2 cases to help keep your business operations running smoothly.

To open a case by telephone, use one of the following numbers:

Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553-2447

TAC Case Priority Definitions

To ensure that all cases are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established case priority definitions.

Priority 1 (P1)—Your network is "down" or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Priority 2 (P2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Priority 3 (P3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Priority 4 (P4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
