Cisco Security Advisory: Cisco IOS Software Network Address
Translation Vulnerabilities

Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20100922-nat

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20100922-nat.shtml

Revision 1.0

For Public Release 2010 September 22 1600 UTC (GMT)


Summary

The Cisco IOS Software Network Address Translation functionality
contains three denial of service (DoS) vulnerabilities. The first
vulnerability is in the translation of Session Initiation Protocol
(SIP) packets, the second vulnerability in the translation of H.323
packets and the third vulnerability is in the translation of H.225.0
call signaling for H.323 packets.

Cisco has released free software updates that address these
vulnerabilities.

This advisory is posted at
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20100922-nat.shtml

Note: The September 22, 2010, Cisco IOS Software Security Advisory
bundled publication includes six Cisco Security Advisories. Five of
the advisories address vulnerabilities in Cisco IOS Software, and one
advisory addresses vulnerabilities in Cisco Unified Communications
Manager. Each advisory lists the releases that correct the
vulnerability or vulnerabilities detailed in the advisory. The table
at the following URL lists releases that correct all Cisco IOS
Software vulnerabilities that have been published on September 22,
2010, or earlier:

Affected Products

Vulnerable Products
±-----------------

Cisco devices running Cisco IOS Software that are configured for NAT
and that support NAT for SIP, H.323, or H.225.0 call signaling for
H.323 packets are affected.

To verify whether NAT is enabled on a Cisco IOS device log in to the
device and issue the show ip nat statistics command. The following
example shows a device that is configured with NAT:

Router#show ip nat statistics

Total translations: 2 (0 static, 2 dynamic; 0 extended)
Outside interfaces: Serial0
Inside interfaces: Ethernet1
Hits: 135  Misses: 5
Expired translations: 2
Dynamic mappings:
-- Inside Source
access-list 1 pool mypool refcount 2
 pool mypool: netmask 255.255.255.0
        start 192.168.10.1 end 192.168.10.254
        type generic, total addresses 14, allocated 2 (14%), misses 0

Alternatively, administrators can use the show running-config |
include ip nat command to verify if NAT has been enabled on the
router interfaces.

For NAT to be enabled in a router either the ip nat inside and ip nat
outside commands must be present in different interfaces or, in the
case of NAT Virtual Interface, if the ip nat enable interface command
is present.

In order to determine the software that runs on a Cisco IOS product,
log in to the device and issue the show version command to display
the system banner. Cisco IOS software identifies itself as
"Internetwork Operating System Software" or simply "IOS." On the next
line of output, the image name displays between parentheses, followed
by "Version" and the Cisco IOS release name. Other Cisco devices do
not have the show version command or give different output.

The following example shows output from a device that runs an IOS
image:

Router> show version
Cisco IOS Software, C3900 Software (C3900-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 15.0(1)M1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
±-------------------------------

Cisco IOS devices not explicitly configured for NAT are not
vulnerable.

Cisco IOS XE Software is not affected by these vulnerabilities.

Cisco IOS XR Software is not affected by these vulnerabilities.

No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by these
vulnerabilities.

Details

The three vulnerabilities are triggered by transit traffic that needs
to be processed by the NAT feature. Each vulnerability is independent
of each other.

NAT for SIP DoS Vulnerability
±---------------------------

SIP is a popular signaling protocol that is used to manage voice and
video calls across IP networks such as the Internet. SIP is
responsible for handling all aspects of call setup and termination.
Voice and video are the most popular types of sessions that SIP
handles, but the protocol has the flexibility to accommodate other
applications that require call setup and termination.

NAT for SIP translates packets using UDP (port 5060) or TCP (port
5060) as the underlying transport protocol. The NAT for SIP DoS
vulnerability can be exploited only with the use of UDP port 5060
packets.

This vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCtf17624
and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE)
ID CVE-2010-2831.

NAT for H.323 DoS Vulnerability
±-----------------------------

H.323 is the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) standard for
real-time multimedia communications and conferencing over
packet-based (IP) networks.

NAT for H.323 translates packets on TCP port 1720. There is a DoS
vulnerability in the NAT procession of H.323 packets. The
vulnerability does not require the completion of a TCP three-way
handshake.

This vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCtf91428
and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) IDs
CVE-2010-2832.

NAT for H.225.0 DoS vulnerability
±-------------------------------

H.323 is the ITU standard for real-time multimedia communications and
conferencing over packet-based (IP) networks. A subset of the H.323
standard is H.225.0, a standard used for call signaling protocols and
media stream packetization over IP networks.

NAT for H.225.0 translates packets on TCP port 1720. There is a DoS
vulnerability in the NAT translation of H.225.0 call signaling for
H.323 packets.

This vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCtd86472
and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) IDs
CVE-2010-2833.

Vulnerability Scoring Details

Cisco has provided scores for the vulnerabilities in this advisory
based on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). The CVSS
scoring in this Security Advisory is done in accordance with CVSS
version 2.0.

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:

exploitation will result in an extended denial of service (DoS)
condition.

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 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 For This Advisory column. The First Fixed Release for All
Advisories in the September 2010 Bundle Publication column lists the
earliest possible releases that correct all the published
vulnerabilities in the Cisco IOS Software Security Advisory bundled
publication. Cisco recommends upgrading to the latest available
release, where possible.

should contact that support organization for guidance and assistance
with the appropriate course of action in regards to this advisory.

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.
