  Cisco ASA, Cisco ASASM, and Cisco FWSM Firewalls

  Mitigation: Application Layer Protocol Inspection

  Application layer protocol inspection is available beginning in Cisco IOS Software Release 7.2(1) for the Cisco ASA 5500 and 5500-X Series Adaptive Security Appliance, IOS Software Release 8.5 for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series ASA Services Module, and in IOS Software Release 4.0(1) for the Cisco Firewall Services Module. This advanced security feature performs deep packet inspection of traffic that transits the firewall. Administrators may construct an inspection policy for applications that require special handling through the configuration of inspection class maps and inspection policy maps, which are applied via a global or interface service policy. Application inspection will inspect both IPv4 and IPv6 packets matched in the class-map of the policy.

  Additional information about application layer protocol inspection and the Modular Policy Framework (MPF) is in the Getting Started with Application Layer Protocol Inspection section of Book 2: Cisco ASA Series Firewall CLI Configuration Guide, 9.1.

  Caution: Application layer protocol inspection will decrease firewall performance. Administrators are advised to test performance impact in a lab environment before this feature is deployed in production environments.

  HTTP Application Inspection
  For MS14-038 by using the HTTP inspection engine on the Cisco ASA 5500 and 5500-X Series Adaptive Security Appliances, Cisco 6500 Series ASA Services Modules, and the Cisco Firewall Services Module, administrators can configure regular expressions (regexes) for pattern matching and construct inspection class maps and inspection policy maps. These methods can help protect against specific vulnerabilities, such as the one described in this document, and other threats that may be associated with HTTP traffic. The following HTTP application inspection configuration uses the Cisco Modular Policy Framework (MPF) to create a policy for inspection of traffic on TCP ports 80, 3128, 8000, 8010, 8080, 8888, and 24326, which are the default ports for the Cisco IPS #WEBPORTS variable. The HTTP application inspection policy will drop connections where the HTTP response body contains any of the regexes that are configured to match the ActiveX control that is associated with these vulnerabilities.

  Caution: The configured regexes can match text strings at any location in the body of an HTML response. Care should be taken to ensure that legitimate business applications that use matching text strings without calling the ActiveX control are not affected. Additional information about regex syntax is in Creating a Regular Expression.

  Additional information about ActiveX exploits and mitigations that leverage Cisco firewall technologies is available in the Preventing ActiveX Exploits with Cisco Firewall Application Layer Protocol Inspection Cisco Security Intelligence Operations white paper.

  Mitigation: Next-Generation Firewall Services

  Starting in Cisco ASA Software Release 8.4(5) for Cisco ASA 5585-X with ASA CX SSP-10 and -20; Cisco ASA Software Release 9.1 for Cisco ASA 5512-X, ASA 5515-X, ASA 5525-X, ASA 5545-X, and ASA 5555-X; and Cisco ASA Software Release 9.1(3) for Cisco ASA 5585-X with ASA CX SSP-40 and -60, the Cisco ASA Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) services allow an administrator to monitor or enforce policies based on the identity of the user (who), the application or website that the user is trying to access (what), the origin of the access attempt (where), the time of the attempted access (when), and the properties of the device used for the access (how).

  The NGFW services run in a separate hardware module (SSP for ASA5585-X) or software module (ASA 5512-X, ASA 5515-X, ASA 5525-X, ASA 5545-X,or ASA 5555-X). The ASA forwards traffic (using MPF policies) to the NGFW module, which monitors and/or enforces policies as configured. NGFW policies can be configured using the Cisco Prime Security Manager (PRSM) GUI in single or multiple device mode. A variety of applications can be recognized and acted on as part of the Application Visibility and Control (AVC) service on NGFW. Application recognition is continually updated using signature and engine updates. Similarly, the Web Security Essentials (WSE) service can inspect and act upon web features and requests. Also, web reputation policies can be used to filter traffic based on the reputation of the destinations visited.

  Cisco NGFW can be used to mitigate MS14-038 by filtering:

  • files with .jnt file types.

  Monitoring and filtering policies (AVC and WSE) can also be applied to encrypted TLS traffic.

  For more information on supported applications, see ASA NGFW Services Applications Portal. For more information about configuring the ASA, see the "Configuring the ASA CX Module" section in the Cisco ASA Configuration Guide. For more information on configuring the ASA CX, see User Guide for ASA CX and Cisco Prime Security Manager.

  Cisco ACE

  Mitigation: Application Protocol Inspection

  Application protocol inspection is available for the Cisco ACE Application Control Engine Appliance and Module. This advanced security feature performs deep packet inspection of traffic that transits the Cisco ACE device. Administrators can construct an inspection policy for applications that require special handling through the configuration of inspection class maps and inspection policy maps, which are applied via a global or interface service policy.

  Additional information about application protocol inspection is in the Configuring Application Protocol Inspection section of the Security Guide vA5(1.0), Cisco ACE Application Control Engine.

  HTTP Deep Packet Inspection

  To conduct HTTP deep packet inspection for MS14-038, administrators can configure regular expressions (regexes) for pattern matching and construct inspection class maps and inspection policy maps. These methods can help protect against specific vulnerabilities, such as those described in this document, and other threats that may be associated with HTTP traffic. The following HTTP application protocol inspection configuration inspects traffic on TCP ports 80, 3128, 8000, 8010, 8080, 8888, and 24326, which are the default ports for the Cisco IPS #WEBPORTS variable. < The HTTP application protocol inspection policy will drop connections where the HTTP content contains any of the regexes that are configured to match the ActiveX control that is associated with these vulnerabilities. >

  Caution: The configured regexes can match text strings at any location in the content of an HTML packet. Care should be taken to ensure that legitimate business applications that use matching text strings without calling the ActiveX control  are not affected.

  Cisco Intrusion Prevention System

  Mitigation: Cisco IPS Signature Event Actions

  Administrators can use the Cisco IPS appliances and services modules to provide threat detection and help prevent attempts to exploit several of the vulnerabilities described in this document. The following table provides an overview of CVE identifiers and the respective Cisco IPS signatures that will trigger events on potential attempts to exploit these vulnerabilities.

  CVE ID	Signature Release	Signature ID	Signature Name	Enabled	Severity	Fidelity*
  CVE-2014-2787	S810	4478-0	Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption Vulnerability	Yes	High	85
  CVE-2014-2795	S810	4466-0	Microsoft Internet Explorer Stack Buffer Overflow	Yes	High	85
  CVE-2014-2797	S810	4477/0	Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption Vulnerability	Yes	High	85
  CVE-2014-2801	S810	4468-0	Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption Vulnerability	Yes	High	85
  CVE-2014-2804	S810	4479-0	Microsoft Internet Explorer Use After Free BSTR Vulnerability	Yes	High	85

  * Fidelity is also referred to as Signature Fidelity Rating (SFR) and is the relative measure of the accuracy of the signature (predefined). The value ranges from 0 through 100 and is set by Cisco Systems, Inc.

  Administrators can configure Cisco IPS sensors to perform an event action when an attack is detected. The configured event action performs preventive or deterrent controls to help protect against an attack that is attempting to exploit the vulnerabilities listed in the preceding table.

  Cisco IPS sensors are most effective when deployed in inline protection mode combined with the use of an event action. Automatic Threat Prevention for Cisco IPS 7.x and 6.x sensors that are deployed in inline protection mode provides threat prevention against an attack that is attempting to exploit the vulnerability that is described in this document. Threat prevention is achieved through a default override that performs an event action for triggered signatures with a riskRatingValue greater than 90.

  For additional information about the risk rating and threat rating calculation, reference Risk Rating and Threat Rating: Simplify IPS Policy Management.

  For information about using Cisco Security Manager to view the activity from a Cisco IPS sensor, see Identification of Malicious Traffic Using Cisco Security Manager white paper.

  Cisco Web and Email Security Appliance

  Mitigation: Web Security

  Cisco Web Security Appliances (WSA) can filter and protect corporate networks against web-based malware and spyware programs that can compromise corporate security and expose intellectual property. They operate as a proxy and can provide user- and group-based policies that filter certain URL categories, web content, web application visibility and control (AVC), websites based on web reputation and malware content. The WSA can also detect infected clients and stop malicious activity from going outside the corporate network using the L4 Traffic Monitor (L4TM). Policies can be configured using a web GUI. A CLI can also be used. The WSA includes protection for standard communication protocols, such as HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and SOCKS.

  To operate with network devices such as routers and firewalls, the WSA uses the Web Cache Communication Protocol (WCCP). With WCCP, content requests are transparently redirected to the WSA, which acts based on its configuration. Users do not need to configure a web-proxy in their browsers. In Cisco IOS Software, WCCP is enabled using the ip wccp commands and in the Cisco ASA using the wccp commands.

  Cisco WSA can be used to mitigate MS14-038 by filtering web traffic based on the following:

  • .jnt file types

  For more information, see the ASA: WCCP Step-by-Step Configuration document in the Cisco Support Community and the Cisco AsyncOS Web User Guide (PDF).

  Mitigation: Email Security

  Cisco Email Security Appliances (ESA) eliminate email spam and viruses, enforce corporate policy, and secure the network perimeter. They operate as an SMTP gateway, also known as a mail exchanger or MX. They can filter virus, spam, and phishing outbreaks. They also provide email encryption, message filtering, anti-spam services, antivirus services and more.

  Cisco ESA can be used to mitigate MS14-038 by filtering messages based on the following:

  • attachment type of .jnt

  Filter actions allow messages to be dropped, bounced, archived, blind carbon copied or altered. Filters can also generate notifications.

  For more information, see the Cisco AsyncOS Email Configuration Guide (PDF).
