April 8 2021: Initial Release - --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT-------------------- Cisco Small Business RV Series Routers Link Layer Discovery Protocol Vulnerabilities Priority: High Advisory ID: cisco-sa-rv-multi-lldp-u7e4chCe First Published: 2021 April 7 16:00 GMT Last Updated: 2021 August 4 15:58 GMT Version 1.2: Final Workarounds: No workarounds available Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvw62392 CSCvw62395 CSCvw62410 CSCvw62411 CSCvw62413 CSCvw62416 CSCvw62417 CSCvw62418 CSCvw94339 CSCvw94341 CSCvw95016 CSCvw95017 CSCvy01220 CVE Names: CVE-2021-1251 CVE-2021-1308 CVE-2021-1309 CWEs: CWE-119 CWE-130 CWE-400 Summary o Multiple vulnerabilities exist in the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) implementation for Cisco Small Business RV Series Routers. An unauthenticated, adjacent attacker could execute arbitrary code or cause an affected router to leak system memory or reload. A memory leak or device reload would cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. For more information about these vulnerabilities, see the Details section of this advisory. Note: LLDP is a Layer 2 protocol. To exploit these vulnerabilities, an attacker must be in the same broadcast domain as the affected device (Layer 2 adjacent). Cisco has released software updates that address these vulnerabilities. There are no workarounds that address these vulnerabilities. This advisory is available at the following link: https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-rv-multi-lldp-u7e4chCe Affected Products o Vulnerable Products These vulnerabilities affect the following Cisco Small Business RV Series Routers if they are running a vulnerable firmware release and have LLDP enabled: RV132W ADSL2+ Wireless-N VPN Router RV134W VDSL2 Wireless-AC VPN Router RV160 VPN Router RV160W Wireless-AC VPN Router RV260 VPN Router RV260P VPN Router with PoE RV260W Wireless-AC VPN Router RV320 Dual Gigabit WAN VPN Router RV325 Dual Gigabit WAN VPN Router RV340 Dual WAN Gigabit VPN Router RV340W Dual WAN Gigabit Wireless-AC VPN Router RV345 Dual WAN Gigabit VPN Router RV345P Dual WAN Gigabit PoE VPN Router For information about which Cisco firmware releases are vulnerable, see the Fixed Software section of this advisory. LLDP Configurations For Cisco RV132W, RV134W, RV320, and RV325 Routers, LLDP is enabled by default on all LAN ports and WAN interfaces. For the following Cisco Small Business Routers, LLDP is enabled by default on the LAN ports and disabled by default on the WAN interfaces: RV160 VPN Router RV160W Wireless-AC VPN Router RV260 VPN Router RV260P VPN Router with PoE RV260W Wireless-AC VPN Router RV340 Dual WAN Gigabit VPN Router RV340W Dual WAN Gigabit Wireless-AC VPN Router RV345 Dual WAN Gigabit VPN Router RV345P Dual WAN Gigabit PoE VPN Router Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable Only products listed in the Vulnerable Products section of this advisory are known to be affected by these vulnerabilities. Cisco has confirmed that these vulnerabilities do not affect the following Cisco products: RV016 Multi-WAN VPN Router RV042 Dual WAN VPN Router RV042G Dual Gigabit WAN VPN Router RV082 Dual WAN VPN Router Details o These vulnerabilities are not dependent on one another. Exploitation of one of the vulnerabilities is not required to exploit another vulnerability. In addition, a software release that is affected by one of the vulnerabilities may not be affected by the other vulnerabilities. Details about the vulnerabilities are as follows: CVE-2021-1309: Cisco Small Business RV Series Routers Link Layer Discovery Protocol Remote Code Execution and Denial of Service Vulnerability A vulnerability in the LLDP implementation for Cisco Small Business RV Series Routers could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to execute arbitrary code on an affected device or cause the device to reload. This vulnerability is due to missing length validation of certain LLDP packet header fields. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a malicious LLDP packet to the targeted router. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute code on the affected router or cause it to reload unexpectedly, resulting in a DoS condition. Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability. Bug ID(s): CSCvw62392 , CSCvw62410 , CSCvw62413 , and CSCvw62416 CVE ID: CVE-2021-1309 Security Impact Rating (SIR): High CVSS Base Score: 8.8 CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H CVE-2021-1251: Cisco Small Business RV Series Routers Link Layer Discovery Protocol Memory Leak Denial of Service Vulnerability A vulnerability in the LLDP implementation for Cisco Small Business RV Series Routers could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a memory leak on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to missing length validation of certain LLDP packet header fields. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a malicious LLDP packet to the targeted router. A successful exploit could cause continuous memory consumption on an affected device and eventually cause it to reload, resulting in a DoS condition. Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability. Bug ID(s): CSCvw94339 , CSCvw94341 , CSCvw95016 , CSCvw95017 , and CSCvy01220 CVE ID: CVE-2021-1251 Security Impact Rating (SIR): High CVSS Base Score: 7.4 CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H CVE-2021-1308: Cisco Small Business RV Series Routers Link Layer Discovery Protocol Denial of Service Vulnerability A vulnerability in the LLDP implementation for Cisco Small Business RV Series Routers could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause an affected router to reload unexpectedly. This vulnerability is due to missing length validation of certain LLDP packet header fields. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a malicious LLDP packet to the targeted router. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the affected router to reload unexpectedly, resulting in a DoS condition. Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability.

Fixed Software o Cisco has released free software updates that address the vulnerabilities described in this advisory. Customers may only install and expect support for software versions and feature sets for which they have purchased a license. By installing, downloading, accessing, or otherwise using such software upgrades, customers agree to follow the terms of the Cisco software license: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/end-user-license-agreement.html Additionally, customers may only download software for which they have a valid license, procured from Cisco directly, or through a Cisco authorized reseller or partner. In most cases this will be a maintenance upgrade to software that was previously purchased. Free security software updates do not entitle customers to a new software license, additional software feature sets, or major revision upgrades. When considering software upgrades , customers are advised to regularly consult the advisories for Cisco products, which are available from the Cisco Security Advisories page , to determine exposure and a complete upgrade solution. In all cases, customers should ensure that the devices to be upgraded contain sufficient memory and confirm that current hardware and software configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release. If the information is not clear, customers are advised to contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or their contracted maintenance providers. 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 TAC: https://www.cisco.com/c /en/us/support/web/tsd-cisco-worldwide-contacts.html 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.
