Cisco IOS XR Software Border Gateway Protocol DoS (cisco-sa-20100827-bgp)

high Nessus Plugin ID 159516

Language:

Synopsis

The remote device is missing a vendor-supplied security patch

Description

According to its self-reported version, Cisco IOS XR Software 3.4.0 through 3.9.1, when BGP is enabled, is affected by a denial of service vulnerability. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this by sending corrupted transitive attributes, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (peering reset) via a crafted prefix announcement. Neighboring devices that receive this corrupted update may reset the BGP peering session. Cisco IOS devices will not corrupt the unrecognized attribute, however they will reset a BGP session upon receipt of a corrupted or malformed update.

Please see the included Cisco BID and Cisco Security Advisory for more information.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to the relevant fixed version referenced in Cisco bug ID CSCti62211
