Summary
Cisco Nexus 3000 and 9000 Series Switches IS-IS Protocol Denial of Service Vulnerability

Notes

Summary
A vulnerability in the Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) protocol of Cisco NX-OS Software for the Cisco Nexus 3000 Series Switches and Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches in standalone NX-OS mode could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause the IS-IS process to unexpectedly restart, which could cause an affected device to reload. This vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation when parsing an ingress IS-IS packet. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted IS-IS packet to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition due to the unexpected restart of the IS-IS process, which could cause the affected device to reload. Note: The IS-IS protocol is a routing protocol. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must be Layer 2 adjacent to the affected device. Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability. This advisory is part of the August 2023 Cisco FXOS and NX-OS Software Security Advisory Bundled Publication. For a complete list of the advisories and links to them, see Cisco Event Response: August 2023 Semiannual Cisco FXOS and NX-OS Software Security Advisory Bundled Publication ["https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/viewErp.x?alertId=ERP-75058"].
Vulnerable Products
This vulnerability affects the following Cisco products if they are running Cisco NX-OS Software Release 10.3(2) and the IS-IS protocol is enabled on the software: Nexus 3000 Series Switches Nexus 9000 Series Switches in standalone NX-OS mode For information about which Cisco software releases are vulnerable, see the Fixed Software ["#fs"] section of this advisory. Determine Whether IS-IS Protocol is Enabled To determine the IS-IS protocol configuration of Cisco Nexus 3000 Series Switches and 9000 Series Switches in standalone NX-OS mode, use the show running-config | include isis CLI command. If the configuration commands feature isis, router isis name and at least one instance of ip router isis name are present, the IS-IS protocol is enabled on at least one interface, as shown in the following example: # show running-config | include isis feature isis . . . ip router isis name router isis name
Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
Only products listed in the Vulnerable Products ["#vp"] 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: Firepower 1000 Series Firepower 2100 Series Firepower 4100 Series Firepower 9300 Security Appliances MDS 9000 Series Multilayer Switches Nexus 1000 Virtual Edge for VMware vSphere Nexus 1000V Switch for Microsoft Hyper-V Nexus 1000V Switch for VMware vSphere Nexus 5500 Platform Switches Nexus 5600 Platform Switches Nexus 6000 Series Switches Nexus 7000 Series Switches Nexus 9000 Series Fabric Switches in ACI mode Secure Firewall 3100 Series UCS 6200 Series Fabric Interconnects UCS 6300 Series Fabric Interconnects UCS 6400 Series Fabric Interconnects UCS 6500 Series Fabric Interconnects
Details
A device that is configured for IS-IS authentication can still be affected by this vulnerability. For more information, see Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS Unicast Routing Configuration Guide, Release 10.3(x): IS-IS Authentication ["https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/dcn/nx-os/nexus9000/103x/unicast-routing-configuration/cisco-nexus-9000-series-nx-os-unicast-routing-configuration-guide-release-103x/m-n9k-configuring-is-is-101x.html#concept_36E7868884A54CD1BC9AD803C5B8D572"].
Workarounds
There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
Fixed Software
Cisco has released free software updates ["https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/resources/security_vulnerability_policy.html#ssu"] 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 ["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 ["https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/index.html"] 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 ["https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/resources/security_vulnerability_policy.html#fixes"], customers are advised to regularly consult the advisories for Cisco products, which are available from the Cisco Security Advisories page ["https://www.cisco.com/go/psirt"], 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 ["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 NX-OS Software To help customers determine their exposure to vulnerabilities in Cisco NX-OS Software, Cisco provides the Cisco Software Checker ["https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/softwarechecker.x"]. 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 described in all the advisories that the Software Checker identifies (“Combined First Fixed”). To use the tool, go to the Cisco Software Checker ["https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/softwarechecker.x"] page and follow the instructions. Alternatively, use the following form to search for vulnerabilities that affect a specific software release. To use the form, follow these steps: Choose which advisories the tool will search—only this advisory, only advisories with a Critical or High Security Impact Rating (SIR) ["https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/resources/security_vulnerability_policy.html#asr"], or all advisories. Choose the appropriate software. Choose the appropriate platform. Enter a release number—for example, 7.0(3)I7(5) for Cisco Nexus 3000 Series Switches or 14.0(1h) for Cisco NX-OS Software in ACI mode. Click Check.
