Cisco IOS XR GSR 12000 Port Range BFD DoS (cisco-sa-20160311-gsr)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 90527

Language:

Synopsis

The remote device is missing a vendor-supplied security patch.

Description

The remote Cisco IOS XR device is a Gigabit Switch Router (GSR) 12000 Series router model and is a version that is missing a vendor-supplied security patch. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability in the ASIC UDP ingress receive function due to improper validation for the presence of a Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) header on the UDP packet. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a line-card to unexpectedly restart by sending to the affected device a specially crafted UDP packet with a specific UDP port range and Time-to-Live field.

Solution

Apply the relevant patch referenced in Cisco Security Advisory cisco-sa-20160311-gsr.
