Cisco IOS and IOS XE Software Locator ID Separation Protocol Denial of Service
Vulnerability
Priority: High
Advisory ID: cisco-sa-lisp-3gYXs3qP
First Published: 2024 March 27 16:00 GMT
Version 1.0: Final
Workarounds: No workarounds available
Cisco Bug IDs: CSCwf36266
CVE Names: CVE-2024-20311
CWEs: CWE-674
Summary
o A vulnerability in the Locator ID Separation Protocol (LISP) feature of
Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an
unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause an affected device to reload.
This vulnerability is due to the incorrect handling of LISP packets. An
attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted LISP packet
to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to
cause the device to reload, resulting in a denial of service (DoS)
condition.
Note: This vulnerability could be exploited over either IPv4 or IPv6
transport.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There
are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
This advisory is available at the following link:
https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-lisp-3gYXs3qP
This advisory is part of the March 2024 release of the Cisco IOS and IOS XE
Software Security Advisory Bundled Publication. For a complete list of the
advisories and links to them, see Cisco Event Response: March 2024
Semiannual Cisco IOS and IOS XE Software Security Advisory Bundled
Publication .
Affected Products
o Vulnerable Products
This vulnerability affects Cisco devices if they are running a vulnerable
release of Cisco IOS or IOS XE Software, they have the LISP feature
enabled, and they are configured with one of the following:
Ingress/egress tunnel router
Map server
Map resolver
Determine Whether LISP is Enabled
To determine whether a device is configured with LISP, use the show
running-config | include router lisp command. If the command returns
output, as shown in the following example, the device is affected by this
vulnerability:
Router# show running-config | include router lisp
router lisp
Router#
For information about which Cisco software releases are vulnerable, see the
Fixed Software section of this advisory.
Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
Only products listed in the Vulnerable Products section of this advisory
are known to be affected by this vulnerability.
Cisco has confirmed that this vulnerability does not affect the following
Cisco products:
IOS XR Software
Meraki products
NX-OS Software
Workarounds
o There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
Fixed Software
o Cisco has released free software updates that address the vulnerability
described in this advisory. Customers with service contracts that entitle
them to regular software updates should obtain security fixes through their
usual update channels.
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.
The Cisco Support and Downloads page on Cisco.com provides information
about licensing and downloads. This page can also display customer device
support coverage for customers who use the My Devices tool.
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.
Cisco IOS and IOS XE Software
To help customers determine their exposure to vulnerabilities in Cisco IOS
and IOS XE Software, Cisco provides the Cisco Software Checker . This tool
identifies any Cisco security advisories that impact a specific software
release and the earliest release that fixes the vulnerabilities that are
described in each advisory ("First Fixed"). If applicable, the tool also
returns the earliest release that fixes all the vulnerabilities that are
described in all the advisories that the Software Checker identifies
("Combined First Fixed").
To use the tool, go to the Cisco Software Checker page and follow the
instructions. Alternatively, use the following form to determine whether a
release is affected by any Cisco Security Advisory. To use the form, follow
these steps:
1. Choose which advisories the tool will search-only this advisory, only
advisories with a Critical or High Security Impact Rating (SIR) , or
all advisories.
2. Enter a release number-for example, 15.9(3)M2 or 17.3.3.
3. Click Check .
