The Cluster Management Protocol utilizes Telnet internally as a signaling and command protocol between cluster members. The vulnerability is due to the combination of two factors: The failure to restrict the use of CMP-specific Telnet options only to internal, local communications between cluster members and instead accept and process such options over any Telnet connection to an affected device, and The incorrect processing of malformed CMP-specific Telnet options. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending malformed CMP-specific Telnet options while establishing a Telnet session with an affected Cisco device configured to accept Telnet connections. An exploit could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code and obtain full control of the device or cause a reload of the affected device. Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

Cisco SM-X Layer 2/3 EtherSwitch Service Module Note: Checking for the presence of the CMP subsystem is only required on devices running Cisco IOS XE Software, not Cisco IOS Software. Checking if the device is configured to accept Telnet connections is required for devices running either Cisco IOS or Cisco IOS XE Software. Cisco devices running a vulnerable Cisco IOS XE release are affected by this vulnerability when the following conditions are met: The CMP subsystem is present on the Cisco IOS XE software image running on the device, and The device is configured to accept incoming Telnet connections. In order to determine if the CMP subsystem is present on the running software image, execute the command show subsys class protocol | include ^ cmp from a privileged CLI prompt on the device. The following example shows the output of the command show subsys class protocol | include ^cmp when the CMP subsystem is present on the software image running on the device: Switch#show subsys class protocol | include ^cmp cmp Protocol 1.000.001 Switch# The following example shows the output of the command show subsys class protocol | include ^cmp when the CMP subsystem is not present on the software image running on the device: Switch#show subsys class protocol | include ^cmp Switch# In order to determine if the device is configured to accept incoming Telnet connections, execute the command show running-config | include ^line vty| transport input from a privileged CLI prompt. The command output may indicate one of multiple possible configurations, such as the following: The absence of a transport input configuration line after the line vty configuration line indicates the device is using the default set of protocols for incoming connections through a virtual terminal (VTY). The default set of protocols includes the Telnet protocol; hence, this device will accept Telnet connections on all VTYs. This is a vulnerable configuration. Switch#show running-config | include ^line vty|transport input line vty 0 4 line vty 5 15 Switch# The device has been explicitly configured to only accept the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol for incoming connections to a subset of the available VTYs, but VTYs numbered 6 to 15 are still using the default set of protocols. Hence, this device will accept Telnet connections to those VTYs. This is a vulnerable configuration. Switch#show running-config | include ^line vty|transport input line vty 0 4 transport input ssh line vty 5 transport input ssh line vty 6 15 Switch# All available transport protocols have been enabled for incoming connections to all VTYs. Enabling all protocols also enables the Telnet protocol, and will allow Telnet connections to the device. This is a vulnerable configuration. Switch#show running-config | include ^line vty|transport input line vty 0 4 transport input all line vty 5 15 transport input all Switch# The SSH protocol is the only protocol enabled for incoming connections on all VTYs. No Telnet connections are possible to any VTY on the device while using this configuration. This configuration is not vulnerable. Switch#show running-config | include ^line vty|transport input line vty 0 4 transport input ssh line vty 5 15 transport input ssh Switch# Both the Telnet and the SSH protocols have been explicitly enabled as allowed protocols for incoming connections on all VTYs. Telnet connections to the device will be successful under this configuration. This is a vulnerable configuration. Switch#show running-config | include ^line vty|transport input line vty 0 4 transport input telnet ssh line vty 5 15 transport input telnet ssh Determining the Cisco IOS Software Release To determine which Cisco IOS Software release is running on a device, administrators can log in to the device, use the show version command in the CLI, and then refer to the system banner that appears. If the device is running Cisco IOS Software, the system banner displays text similar to Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software or Cisco IOS Software . The banner also displays the installed image name in parentheses, followed by the Cisco IOS Software release number and release name. Some Cisco devices do not support the show version command or may provide different output. The following example shows the output of the command for a device that is running Cisco IOS Software Release 15.5(2)T1 and has an installed image name of C2951-UNIVERSALK9-M : Router> show version Cisco IOS Software, C2951 Software (C2951-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 15.5(2)T1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1) Technical Support: http://www.cisco.com/techsupport Copyright (c) 1986-2015 by Cisco Systems, Inc.

Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by this vulnerability. Cisco devices running a vulnerable Cisco IOS Software release but not listed under the "Vulnerable Products" section of this advisory are not affected by this vulnerability. Cisco devices running a vulnerable Cisco IOS XE Software release but not including the CMP protocol subsystem are not affected by this vulnerability. Details o A vulnerability in the Cisco Cluster Management Protocol (CMP) processing code in Cisco IOS and Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a reload of an affected device or remotely execute code with elevated privileges. The Cluster Management Protocol utilizes Telnet internally as a signaling and command protocol between cluster members. The vulnerability is due to the combination of two factors: The failure to restrict the use of CMP-specific Telnet options only to internal, local communications between cluster members and instead accept and process such options over any Telnet connection to an affected device, and The incorrect processing of malformed CMP-specific Telnet options. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending malformed CMP-specific Telnet options while establishing a Telnet session with an affected Cisco device configured to accept Telnet connections. An exploit could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code and obtain full control of the device or cause a reload of the affected device. CMP-specific Telnet options are processed by default, even if no cluster configuration commands are present on the device configuration. This vulnerability can be exploited during Telnet session negotiation over either IPv4 or IPv6. This vulnerability can only be exploited through a Telnet session established to the device-sending the malformed options on Telnet sessions through the device will not trigger the vulnerability. Indicators of Compromise o Cisco IPS Signature 7880-0 and Snort SIDs 41909 and 41910 can detect attempts to exploit this vulnerability. Workarounds o There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability. Disabling the Telnet protocol as an allowed protocol for incoming connections would eliminate the exploit vector. Disabling Telnet and using SSH is recommended by Cisco. Information on how to do both can be found on the Cisco Guide to Harden Cisco IOS Devices . Customers unable or unwilling to disable the Telnet protocol can reduce the attack surface by implementing VTY access lists (at the device level) or infrastructure access control lists (iACLs). Information on VTY access list can be found in the document: Cisco Guide to Harden Cisco IOS Devices . Information on iACLs can be found in the document: Protecting Your Core: Infrastructure Protection Access Control Lists . Fixed Software o Cisco has released free software updates that address the vulnerability 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: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/general/warranty/English/EU1KEN_.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 and Alerts page , to determine exposure and a complete upgrade solution. In all cases, customers should ensure that the devices to upgrade 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: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/support/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 a tool, the Cisco IOS Software Checker , that identifies any Cisco Security Advisories that impact a specific software release and the earliest release that fixes the vulnerabilities described in each advisory ("First Fixed"). If applicable, the tool also returns the earliest release that fixes all the vulnerabilities described in all the advisories identified ("Combined First Fixed"). Customers can use this tool to perform the following tasks: Initiate a search by choosing one or more releases from a drop-down menu or uploading a file from a local system for the tool to parse Enter the output of the show version command for the tool to parse Create a custom search by including all previously published Cisco Security Advisories, a specific advisory, or all advisories in the most recent bundled publication To determine whether a release is affected by any published Cisco Security Advisory, use the Cisco IOS Software Checker on Cisco.com or enter a Cisco IOS Software or Cisco IOS XE Software release-for example, 15.1(4)M2 or 3.13.8S -in the following field: [ ] [Check] For a mapping of Cisco IOS XE Software releases to Cisco IOS Software releases, refer to the Cisco IOS XE 2 Release Notes , Cisco IOS XE 3S Release Notes , or Cisco IOS XE 3SG Release Notes , depending on the Cisco IOS XE Software release.
