Summary

  o A vulnerability in the Common Open Policy Service (COPS) engine of Cisco
    IOS XE Software on Cisco cBR-8 Converged Broadband Routers could allow an
    unauthenticated, remote attacker to crash a device.

    The vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation. An attacker
    could exploit this vulnerability by sending a malformed COPS message to the
    device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to crash the device.

    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:

    cisco-sa-COPS-VLD-MpbTvGEW

    This advisory is part of the September 24, 2020, release of the Cisco IOS
    and IOS XE Software Security Advisory Bundled Publication, which includes
    25 Cisco Security Advisories that describe 34 vulnerabilities. For a
    complete list of the advisories and links to them, see Cisco Event
    Response: September 2020 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 XE Software on Cisco cBR-8 Converged Broadband
    Routers.

    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 Software
       IOS XR Software
       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 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.

    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 to identify
    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 the Cisco Software Checker to search advisories in the
    following ways:

       Choose the software and one or more releases
       Upload a .txt file that includes a list of specific releases
       Enter the output of the show version command

    After initiating a search, customers can customize the search to include
    all Cisco Security Advisories, a specific advisory, or all advisories in
    the most recent bundled publication.

    Customers can also use the following form to determine whether a release is
    affected by any Cisco Security Advisory by entering a Cisco IOS or IOS XE
    Software release-for example, 15.1(4)M2 or 3.13.8S :

    [                    ] [Check]

    By default, the Cisco Software Checker includes results only for
    vulnerabilities that have a Critical or High Security Impact Rating (SIR).
    To include results for Medium SIR vulnerabilities, customers can use the
    Cisco Software Checker on Cisco.com and check the Medium check box in the
    drop-down list under Impact Rating when customizing a search.

    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.
