An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending IPv4 or IPv6 packets using UDP source and destination ports that are assigned to DHCP traffic through an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to bypass EPG contracts on the affected device.\r\n\r\nCisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThis advisory is part of a group of advisories.

These rules always permit DHCP-related traffic and take higher priority than user-defined contract rules. As a result, contracts that are configured for this traffic or the generic implicit deny will not be enforced. The implicit permit rules for DHCP always take precedence.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe fix for this vulnerability is a configuration knob that will allow administrators to disable (unprogram) or re-enable DHCP implicit rules through the Cisco APIC REST API. When implicit rules are disabled, user-defined contract permit, deny, and redirect actions for DHCP traffic are honored. The default action of the software for Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Fabric Switches in ACI Mode is that implicit rules are enabled.\r\n\r\nFor more information regarding this new configuration knob, see Cisco APIC Basic Configuration Guide, Release 6.2(x) [\"https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/dcn/aci/apic/6x/basic-configuration/cisco-apic-basic-configuration-guide-62x/provisioning-core-aci-fabric-services-62x/dhcp-relay-policy.html#dhcp-contract-enforcement\"]." }, { "category": "general", "title": "Workarounds", "text": "There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability." }, { "category": "general", "title": "Fixed Software", "text": "Cisco considers any workarounds and mitigations (if applicable) to be temporary solutions until an upgrade to a fixed software release is available.
