Summary
Multiple Cisco products contain either of two authentication vulnerabilities in the Simple Network Management Protocol version 3 (SNMPv3) feature. These vulnerabilities can be exploited when processing a malformed SNMPv3 message. These vulnerabilities could allow the disclosure of network information or may enable an attacker to perform configuration changes to vulnerable devices. The SNMP server is an optional service that is disabled by default in Cisco products. Only SNMPv3 is impacted by these vulnerabilities. Workarounds are available for mitigating the impact of the vulnerabilities described in this document.
Note: SNMP versions 1, 2 and 2c are not impacted by these vulnerabilities.
The United States Computer Emergency Response Team (US-CERT) has assigned Vulnerability Note VU#878044
to these vulnerabilities.
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) identifier CVE-2008-0960
has also been assigned to these vulnerabilities.
This advisory is posted at http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20080610-snmpv3.
Affected Products
Vulnerable Products
The following Cisco products are vulnerable.
- Cisco IOS
- Cisco IOS-XR
- Cisco Catalyst Operating System (CatOS)
- Cisco NX-OS
- Cisco Application Control Engine (ACE) Module
- Cisco ACE Appliance
- Cisco ACE XML Gateway
- Cisco MDS 9000 Series Multilayer Fabric Switches
- Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC)
- Cisco Application and Content Networking System (ACNS)
- Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS)
- Cisco MGX 8830, 8850 and 8880 Media Gateway and Switch
- Cisco Internet Streamer CDS
- Cisco 8472DVB Set Top Box
- Cisco 8485DVB Set Top Box
Note: The SNMP server is disabled by default. These vulnerabilities only impact devices that are configured for SNMPv3.
To determine the version of SNMP configured in Cisco IOS, CatOS and IOS-XR, log in to the device and issue the show snmp group command. The security model field indicates the version of SNMP configured. The output "usm" is the abbreviation for user-based security model and this indicates SNMPv3 is configured.

IronPort
IronPort C-Series, X-Series, and M-Series appliances utilize code covered by this advisory, but are not susceptible to any security risk. IronPort C-Series, X-Series, and M-Series incorporate the libraries under the advisory to provide anonymous read-only access to system health data. There is no risk of escalated authorization privileges allowing a 3rd party to make any configuration changes to the IronPort devices. IronPort S-Series and Encryption Appliances are not affected by this advisory. This announcement has also been posted on the IronPort Support Portal, available to IronPort customers: https://supportportal.ironport.com/irppcnctr/srvcd?u=http://secure-support.soma.ironport.com/announcement&sid=900016 ![]()

Details
SNMP defines a standard mechanism for remote management and monitoring of devices in an Internet Protocol (IP) network.
There are three general types of SNMP operations: "get" requests to request information, "set" requests that modify the configuration of a remote device, and "trap" messages that provide a monitoring function. SNMP requests and traps are transported over User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and are received at the assigned destination port numbers 161 and 162, respectively.
SNMPv3 provides secure access to devices by authenticating and encrypting packets over the network. RFC2574
defines the use of HMAC-MD5-96 and HMAC-SHA-96 as the possible authentication protocols for SNMPv3.
Vulnerabilities have been identified in the authentication code of multiple SNMPv3 implementations. This advisory identifies two vulnerabilities that are almost identical. Both are specifically related to malformed SNMPv3 packets that manipulate the Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC). The two vulnerabilities may impact both Secure Hashing Algorithm-1 (SHA-1) and Message-Digest Algorithm 5 (MD5). The vulnerabilities described in this document can be successfully exploited using spoofed SNMPv3 packets.
These vulnerabilities are documented in the following Cisco Bug IDs:
- CSCsf04754 - IOS SNMPv3 HMAC Authentication issue (registered customers only)
- CSCsf30109 - IOS-XR SNMPv3 HMAC Authentication issue (registered customers only)

Note: Although multiple software defects are listed, this advisory only identifies two vulnerabilities. Because different Cisco products require their own fixes, additional Bug IDs have been assigned.
Vulnerability Scoring Details
CVSS is a standards-based scoring method that conveys vulnerability severity and helps determine urgency and priority of response.
Cisco has provided a base and temporal score. Customers can then compute environmental scores to assist in determining the impact of the vulnerability in individual networks.
Cisco has provided an FAQ to answer additional questions regarding CVSS at
http://www.cisco.com/web/about/security/intelligence/cvss-qandas.html .
Cisco has also provided a CVSS calculator to help compute the environmental impact for individual networks at
http://intellishield.cisco.com/security/alertmanager/cvss .

Impact
Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could result in the disclosure of sensitive information on a device or allow an attacker to make configuration changes to a vulnerable device that is based on the SNMP configuration.
Software Versions and Fixes
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 Cisco IOS software table (below) names a Cisco IOS release train. If a given release train is vulnerable, then the earliest possible releases that contain the fix (along with the anticipated date of availability for each, if applicable) are listed in the "First Fixed Release" column of the table. The "Recommended Release" column indicates the releases which have fixes for all the published vulnerabilities at the time of this Advisory. A device running a release in the given train that is earlier than the release in a specific column (less than the First Fixed Release) is known to be vulnerable. Cisco recommends upgrading to a release equal to or later than the release in the "Recommended Releases" column of the table.

Workarounds
The following workarounds have been identified for these vulnerabilities.
Infrastructure Access Control Lists
Although it is often difficult to block traffic that transits a network, it is possible to identify traffic that should never be allowed to target infrastructure devices and block that traffic at the border of networks. Infrastructure Access Control Lists (iACLs) are a network security best practice and should be considered as a long-term addition to good network security as well as a workaround for these specific vulnerabilities. The iACL example 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:
Note: UDP port 161 is applicable for all versions of SNMP.
!--- Permit SNMP UDP 161 packets from !--- trusted hosts destined to infrastructure addresses. access-list 150 permit udp TRUSTED_HOSTS MASK INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES MASK eq 161 !--- Deny SNMP UDP 161 packets from all !--- other sources destined to infrastructure addresses. access-list 150 deny udp any INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES MASK eq 161 !--- Permit/deny all other Layer 3 and Layer 4 traffic in accordance !--- with existing security policies and configurations !--- Permit all other traffic to transit the device. access-list 150 permit ip any any !--- Apply iACL to relevant interfaces interface serial 2/0 ip access-group 150 in
The white paper entitled "Protecting Your Core: Infrastructure Protection Access Control Lists" presents guidelines and recommended deployment techniques for infrastructure protection access lists.
This white paper can be obtained at the following link: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk361/technologies_white_paper09186a00801a1a55.shtml
Control Plane Policing
Control Plane Policing (CoPP) can be used to block untrusted SNMP access to the device. Cisco IOS software releases 12.0S, 12.2SX, 12.2S, 12.3T, 12.4, and 12.4T support the CoPP feature. CoPP can be configured on a device to protect the management and control planes and minimize the risk and effectiveness of direct infrastructure attacks by explicitly permitting only authorized traffic that is sent to infrastructure devices in accordance with existing security policies and configurations. The following example, which uses 192.168.100.1 to represent a trusted host, can be adapted to your network.
!--- Deny SNMP UDP traffic from trusted hosts to all IP addresses !--- configured on all interfaces of the affected device so that !--- it will be allowed by the CoPP feature access-list 111 deny udp host 192.168.100.1 any eq 161 !--- Permit all other SNMP UDP traffic sent to all IP addresses !--- configured on all interfaces of the affected device so that it !--- will be policed and dropped by the CoPP feature access-list 111 permit udp any any eq 161 !--- Permit (Police or Drop)/Deny (Allow) all other Layer3 and Layer4 !--- traffic in accordance with existing security policies and !--- configurations for traffic that is authorized to be sent !--- to infrastructure devices !--- Create a Class-Map for traffic to be policed by !--- the CoPP feature class-map match-all drop-snmpv3-class match access-group 111 !--- Create a Policy-Map that will be applied to the !--- Control-Plane of the device. policy-map drop-snmpv3-traffic class drop-snmpv3-class drop !--- Apply the Policy-Map to the !--- Control-Plane of the device control-plane service-policy input drop-snmpv3-traffic
In the above CoPP example, the access control list entries (ACEs) that match the potential 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 (not shown) are not affected by the policy-map drop function.
Please note that the policy-map syntax is different in the 12.2S and 12.0S Cisco IOS trains:
policy-map drop-snmpv3-traffic class drop-snmpv3-class police 32000 1500 1500 conform-action drop exceed-action drop
Additional information on the configuration and use of the CoPP feature is available at the following links: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/iosswrel/ps6537/ps6586/ps6642/prod_white_paper0900aecd804fa16a.html and http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_3t/12_3t4/feature/guide/gtrtlimt.html
Transit Access Control Lists
Filters that deny SNMP packets using UDP port 161 should be deployed throughout the network as part of a Transit Access Control List (tACL) policy for protection of traffic that enters the network at ingress access points. This policy should be configured to protect the network device where the filter is applied and other devices behind it. Filters for SNMP packets that use UDP port 161 should also be deployed in front of vulnerable network devices so that traffic is only allowed from trusted clients.
Additional information about tACLs is available in "Transit Access Control Lists: Filtering at Your Edge:" http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk361/technologies_white_paper09186a00801afc76.shtml
Hardening Guide Statement
Customers are advised to review the "Fortifying the Simple Network Management Protocol" section of the "Cisco Guide to Harden Cisco IOS Devices" for information on configuring an IOS device for SNMPv3 authentication and privacy: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk361/technologies_tech_note09186a0080120f48.shtml#fortify
Cisco IOS and SAN-OS authPriv Configuration
Enabling the SNMPv3 privacy subsystem (if it is not already in use) is a short-term workaround for users who are unable to upgrade in a timely fashion. This subsystem is used to encrypt SNMPv3 traffic using a shared secret.
In Cisco IOS, administrators can enable this workaround by using the authPriv SNMPv3 feature. Only Cisco IOS crypto images can run the authPriv feature.
In Cisco SAN-OS, administrators can enable this workaround by using the snmp-server globalEnforcePriv configuration command.
Additional information about the Cisco SAN-OS globalEnforcePriv command is available in the "Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide:" http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/storage/san_switches/mds9000/sw/rel_3_x/configuration/guides/cli_3_3_1/snmp.html#wp1352055
Note: Ensure that the management application supports SNMPv3 authPriv before implementing this feature.
Applied Mitigation Bulletin
Additional mitigation techniques that can be deployed on Cisco devices within the network are available in the Cisco Applied Intelligence companion document for this advisory: http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoAppliedMitigationBulletin/cisco-amb-20080610-SNMPv3
Obtaining Fixed Software
Customers may only install and expect support for the feature sets they have purchased. By installing, downloading, accessing or otherwise using such software upgrades, customers agree to be bound by the terms of Cisco's software license terms found at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/general/warranty/English/EU1KEN_.html , or as otherwise set forth at Cisco.com Downloads at http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/sw-usingswc.shtml .

Customers with Service Contracts
Customers using Third Party Support Organizations
The effectiveness of any workaround or fix is dependent on specific customer situations, such as product mix, network topology, traffic behavior, and organizational mission. Due to the variety of affected products and releases, customers should consult with their service provider or support organization to ensure any applied workaround or fix is the most appropriate for use in the intended network before it is deployed.
Customers without Service Contracts
Customers who purchase direct from Cisco but do not hold a Cisco service contract, and customers who purchase through third-party vendors but are unsuccessful in obtaining fixed software through their point of sale should acquire upgrades by contacting the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC). TAC contacts are as follows.
- +1 800 553 2447 (toll free from within North America)
- +1 408 526 7209 (toll call from anywhere in the world)
- e-mail: tac@cisco.com
Customers should have their product serial number available and be prepared to give the URL of this notice as evidence of entitlement to a free upgrade. Free upgrades for non-contract customers must be requested through the TAC.
