Cisco Security Advisory: Cisco IOS Software H.323 Denial of Service
Vulnerability
Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20090923-h323
Revision 1.0
For Public Release 2009 September 23
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary
=======
The H.323 implementation in Cisco IOS® Software contains a
vulnerability that can be exploited remotely to cause a device that
is running Cisco IOS Software to reload.
Cisco has released free software updates that address this
vulnerability. There are no workarounds to mitigate the vulnerability
apart from disabling H.323 if the device that is running Cisco IOS
Software does not need to run H.323 for VoIP services.
This advisory is posted at:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20090923-h323.shtml
Note: The September 23, 2009, Cisco IOS Security Advisory bundled
publication includes eleven Security Advisories. Ten of the
advisories address vulnerabilities in Cisco IOS Software, and one
advisory addresses a vulnerability in Cisco Unified Communications
Manager. Each advisory lists the releases that correct the
vulnerability or vulnerabilities detailed in the advisory. The
following table lists releases that correct all Cisco IOS Software
vulnerabilities that have been published on September 23, 2009, or
earlier.

Affected Products
=================
Vulnerable Products
+------------------
Cisco devices that are running affected Cisco IOS Software versions
that are configured to process H.323 messages are affected by this
vulnerability. H.323 is not enabled by default.
To determine the Cisco IOS Software device is running H.323 services
use the "show process cpu | include 323" command, as shown in the
following example:
Router#show process cpu | include 323
249 16000 3 5333 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0 CCH323_CT
250 0 1 0 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0 CCH323_DNS
Router#
Note: Only H.323 listening port TCP 1720 is affected.
To determine the Cisco IOS Software release that is running on a
Cisco product, administrators can log in to the device and issue the
"show version" command to display the system banner. The system banner
confirms that the device is running Cisco IOS Software by displaying
text similar to "Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software" or
"Cisco IOS Software." The image name displays in parentheses,
followed by "Version" and the Cisco IOS Software release name. Other
Cisco devices do not have the "show version" command or may provide
different output.
The following example identifies a Cisco product that is running
Cisco IOS Software Release 12.3(26) with an installed image name of
C2500-IS-L:
Router#show version
Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software
IOS (tm) 2500 Software (C2500-IS-L), Version 12.3(26), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)

The following example identifies a Cisco product that is running
Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(20)T with an installed image name of
C1841-ADVENTERPRISEK9-M:

Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
+--------------------------------
Cisco IOS XE and Cisco IOS XR Software are not affected by this
vulnerability. No other Cisco products are currently known to be
affected by this vulnerability.
Details
=======
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 signalling protocols
and media stream packetization over IP networks.
The H.323 implementation in Cisco IOS Software contains a
vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability remotely by
sending an H.323 crafted packet to the affected device that is
running Cisco IOS Software. A TCP three-way handshake is needed to
exploit this vulnerability.
This vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCsz38104 and has
been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID CVE-2009-2866.
Vulnerability Scoring Details
=============================
Cisco has provided scores for the vulnerability 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:
http://intellishield.cisco.com/security/alertmanager/cvss
CSCsz38104 - Crafted H323 packets may cause device to reload
CVSS Base Score - 7.8
Access Vector - Network
Access Complexity - Low
Authentication - None
Confidentiality Impact - None
Integrity Impact - None
Availability Impact - Complete
CVSS Temporal Score - 6.4
Exploitability - Functional
Remediation Level - Official-Fix
Report Confidence - Confirmed
Impact
======
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability described in this
document may cause the affected device to reload. The issue could be
exploited repeatedly to cause an extended 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 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 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.

Note: No Cisco IOS-XE Software or Cisco IOS Software Modularity
releases are affected by this vulnerability.
Workarounds
===========
There are no workarounds to mitigate the vulnerability apart from
disabling H.323 if the Cisco IOS device does not need to run H.323
for VoIP services. Affected devices that must run H.323 are
vulnerable, and there are not any specific configurations that can be
used to protect them. Applying access lists on interfaces that should
not accept H.323 traffic and putting firewalls in strategic locations
may greatly reduce exposure until an upgrade can be performed.
Cisco provides Solution Reference Network Design (SRND) guides to
help design and deploy networking solutions, which can be found at
http://www.cisco.com/go/srnd Voice Security best practices are
covered in the Cisco Unified Communications SRND Based on Cisco
Unified Communications Manager 6.x at:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/srnd/6x/security.html
Below is an example of an access list to block H.323 management
traffic from anywhere but a permitted network. In this example, the
permitted network is 172.16.0.0/16.
!--- Permit access from any IP address in the 172.16.0.0/16
!--- network to anywhere on port 1720.
access-list 101 permit tcp 172.16.0.0 0.0.255.255 any eq 1720
!--- Permit access from anywhere to a host in the
!--- 172.16.0.0/26 network on port 1720.
access-list 101 permit tcp any 172.16.0.0 0.0.255.255 eq 1720
!--- Deny all traffic from port 1720.
access-list 101 deny tcp any eq 1720 any
!--- Deny all traffic to port 1720.
access-list 101 deny tcp any any eq 1720
!--- Permit all other traffic.
access-list 101 permit ip any any
Alternatively, you can use the "call service stop forced" command under
the "voice service voip" mode, as shown in the following example:
voice service voip
h323
call service stop forced
Additional mitigations that can be deployed on Cisco devices within
the network are available in the companion document "Cisco Applied
Mitigation Bulletin: Identifying and Mitigating Exploitation of the
Denial of Service Vulnerabilities in Cisco Unified Communications
Manager and Cisco IOS Software", which is available at the following
location:

Obtaining Fixed Software
========================
Cisco has released free software updates that address these
vulnerabilities. Prior to deploying software, customers should
consult their maintenance provider or check the software for feature
set compatibility and known issues specific to their environment.
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
Do not contact psirt at cisco.com or security-alert at cisco.com for
software upgrades.
Customers with Service Contracts
+-------------------------------
Customers with contracts should obtain upgraded software through
their regular update channels. For most customers, this means that
upgrades should be obtained through the Software Center on Cisco's
worldwide website at http://www.cisco.com.
Customers using Third Party Support Organizations
+------------------------------------------------
Customers whose Cisco products are provided or maintained through
prior or existing agreements with third-party support organizations,
such as Cisco Partners, authorized resellers, or service providers
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.
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 at 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.
Refer to:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/support/tsd_cisco_worldwide_contacts.html
for additional TAC contact information, including localized telephone
numbers, and instructions and e-mail addresses for use in various
languages.
