Cisco Security Advisory: Cisco IOS Software Smart Install Denial of Service Vulnerability
Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20120328-smartinstall
Revision 1.0
For Public Release 2012 March 28 16:00 UTC (GMT)
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary
=======
Cisco IOS Software contains a vulnerability in the Smart Install
feature that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause
a reload of an affected device if the Smart Install feature is
enabled. The vulnerability is triggered when an affected device
processes a malformed Smart Install message on TCP port 4786.
Cisco has released free software updates that address this
vulnerability. There are no workarounds to mitigate this
vulnerability.
This advisory is available at the following link:
http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20120328-smartinstall
Note: The March 28, 2012, Cisco IOS Software Security Advisory
bundled publication includes nine Cisco Security Advisories. Each
advisory lists the Cisco IOS Software releases that correct the
vulnerability or vulnerabilities detailed in the advisory as well as
the Cisco IOS Software releases that correct all vulnerabilities in
the March 2012 bundled publication.

Affected Products
=================
Vulnerable Products
+------------------
Devices configured as a Smart Install client or director are affected
by this vulnerability. To display Smart Install information, use the
show vstack config privileged EXEC command on the Smart Install
director or client. The outputs of show commands are different when
entered on the director or on the client. The following is the output
of show vstack config in a Cisco Catalyst Switch configured as a
Smart Install client:
switch#show vstack config
Role: Client
Vstack Director IP address: 10.1.1.163
The following is the output of show vstack config in a Cisco Catalyst
Switch configured as a Smart Install director:
Director# show vstack config
Role: Director
Vstack Director IP address: 10.1.1.163
Vstack Mode: Basic
Vstack default management vlan: 1
Vstack management Vlans: none
Vstack Config file: tftp://10.1.1.100/default-config.txt
Vstack Image file: tftp://10.1.1.100/c3750e-universalk9-tar.122-
Join Window Details:
Window: Open (default)
Operation Mode: auto (default)
Vstack Backup Details:
Mode: On (default)
Repository: flash:/vstack (default)
The Smart Install Feature is enabled by default.
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 15.0(1)M1 with an installed image name of
C3900-UNIVERSALK9-M:
Router> show version
Cisco IOS Software, C3900 Software (C3900-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 15.0(1)M1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by this
vulnerability.
Details
=======
Smart Install is a plug-and-play configuration and image-management
feature that provides zero-touch deployment for new LAN Ethernet
switches. This feature allows, for example, new LAN switches to be
deployed at new locations without any configuration.
A vulnerability exists in the Smart Install feature of Cisco IOS
Software that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to
cause a reload of an affected device. Smart Install uses a Cisco
proprietary protocol that runs over TCP port 4786. To exploit this
vulnerability, an attacker needs to establish a TCP session on port
4786 of an affected device that has the Smart Install feature
enabled, and then send a malformed Smart Install message.
This vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCtt16051
and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE)
ID CVE-2012-0385.
Vulnerability Scoring Details
=============================
Cisco has scored the vulnerability in this advisory based on the
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). The CVSS scoring in this
security advisory is in accordance with CVSS version 2.0.
CVSS is a standards-based scoring method that conveys vulnerability
severity and helps organizations determine the urgency and priority
of a response.
Cisco has provided a base and temporal score. Customers can also
compute environmental scores that help determine the impact of the
vulnerability in their own networks.
Cisco has provided additional information regarding CVSS at the
following link:
http://www.cisco.com/web/about/security/intelligence/cvss-qandas.html
Cisco has also provided a CVSS calculator to compute the
environmental impact for individual networks at the following link:
http://intellishield.cisco.com/security/alertmanager/cvss
* Cisco IOS Software Smart Install Denial of Service Vulnerability
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 that is described in
this advisory may cause a reload of an affected device. Repeated
exploitation could result in a sustained denial of service 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.
Cisco IOS Software
+-----------------
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

Obtaining Fixed Software
========================
Cisco has released free software updates that address the
vulnerability described in this advisory. Prior to deploying
software, customers are advised to consult their maintenance
providers or check the software for feature set compatibility and
known issues that are specific to their environments.
Customers may only install and expect support for feature sets they
have purchased. By installing, downloading, accessing, or otherwise
using such software upgrades, customers agree to follow the terms of
the Cisco software license at:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/general/warranty/English/EU1KEN_.html
or as set forth 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, upgrades should be
obtained through the Software Center on Cisco.com at:
http://www.cisco.com
Customers Using Third-Party Support Organizations
+------------------------------------------------
Customers with Cisco products that 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 organization for assistance with the appropriate
course of action.
The effectiveness of any workaround or fix depends on specific
customer situations, such as product mix, network topology, traffic
behavior, and organizational mission. Because of the variety of
affected products and releases, customers should consult their
service providers or support organizations to ensure that any applied
workaround or fix is the most appropriate in the intended network
before it is deployed.
Customers Without Service Contracts
+----------------------------------
Customers who purchase directly from Cisco but do not hold a Cisco
service contract and customers who make purchases through third-party
vendors but are unsuccessful in obtaining fixed software through
their point of sale should obtain upgrades by contacting the Cisco
Technical Assistance Center (TAC):
* +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 the product serial number available and be
prepared to provide the URL of this advisory as evidence of
entitlement to a free upgrade. Customers without service contracts
should request free upgrades through the TAC.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/support/tsd_cisco_worldwide_contacts.html
for additional TAC contact information, including localized telephone
numbers, instructions, and e-mail addresses for support in various languages.
