CWE-399
Summary
A vulnerability in the Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) of Cisco IOS
Software running on the Cisco Catalyst 6500 and 6800 Series Switches and Cisco
NX-OS Software running on the Cisco Nexus 7000 and Nexus 7700 Series Switches
with an M1 Series Gigabit Ethernet Module could allow an unauthenticated,
remote attacker to cause a reload of the vulnerable device.
The vulnerability is due to a lack of proper input validation when a malformed
LISP packet header is received. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability
by sending a malformed LISP packet on UDP port 4341. An exploit could allow
the attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability.
This advisory is available at the following link:
http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20160323-lisp
This advisory is part of the March 23, 2016, release of the Cisco IOS and IOS
XE Software Security Advisory Bundled Publication, which includes six Cisco
Security Advisories that describe six vulnerabilities. All the vulnerabilities
have a Security Impact Rating of "High." For a complete list of advisories and
links to them, see Cisco Event Response: Semiannual Cisco IOS and IOS XE
Software Security Advisory Bundled Publication.
Affected Products
Vulnerable Products
Cisco Catalyst 6500 and 6800 Series Switches running Cisco IOS Software, and
Cisco Nexus 7000 and Nexus 7700 Series Switches with an M1 Series Gigabit
Ethernet Module running Cisco NX-OS Software are vulnerable when LISP is
configured. LISP is not enabled by default on either platform.
For information about which Cisco IOS and NX-OS Software versions are
vulnerable, see the "Fixed Software" section of this advisory.
Cisco Catalyst 6500 and 6800 Series Switches
LISP support was first introduced in release 15.1(1)SY1. To determine if LISP
is configured on the device, use the show running-config | include lisp
command to see if router lisp is configured, as shown in the following
example:
iosRouter# show running-config | include lisp
router lisp
Determining the Cisco IOS Software Release
To determine which Cisco IOS Software release is running on a Cisco product,
administrators can log in to the device and issue the show version command to
display the system banner. 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 image name displays in parentheses,
followed by the Cisco IOS Software release number and release name.
The following example identifies a Cisco product that is running Cisco IOS
Software Release 15.2(1)SY1 with an installed image name of
c6880x-ADVENTERPRISEK9-M:
iosRouter# show version
Cisco IOS Software, c6880x Software (c6880x-ADVENTERPRISEK9-M), Version
15.2(1)SY1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc5)

Additional information about Cisco IOS Software release naming conventions is
available in White Paper: Cisco IOS and NX-OS Software Reference Guide.
Nexus 7000 and 7700 Series Switches
The Nexus 7000 and 7700 Series Switches added LISP support in software release
5.2(1). The Nexus 7000 and 7700 Series Switches with LISP configured are
vulnerable only if the LISP packet is input on an M1 Series Gigabit Ethernet
Module. Use the show module | include M1 command to check whether an M1 module
is installed in the Nexus 7000 chassis, as shown in the following example:
nxosRouter# show module | include M1
3 48 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet XL Module N7K-M148GT-11L powered-up
If there is an M1 Series Gigabit Ethernet Module installed, it will be
vulnerable only if LISP packets are input to interfaces configured on this
module. To check whether the LISP feature is enabled, use the show feature |
include lisp command, as in the following example:
nxosRouter# show feature | include lisp
lisp 1 enabled
The show ip lisp command can be used to determine the LISP configuration for
the M1 interfaces:
nxosRouter# show ip lisp
LISP IP Configuration Information for VRF "default" (iid 1)
Ingress Tunnel Router (ITR):enabled
Egress Tunnel Router (ETR):disabled
Proxy-ITR Router (PTR):disabled
Proxy-ETR Router (PETR):disabled
Map Resolver (MR):disabled
Map Server (MS):disabled
LISP Multicast:disabled

Configuration, see Configuring Locator/ID Separation Protocol.
Determine the Cisco NX-OS Software Release
To determine the Cisco NX-OS Software release that is running on a Cisco Nexus
7000 Series switch, administrators can log in to the device and issue the show
version command. The following example identifies the 6.2(14) release:
nxosRouter# show version

Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by this
vulnerability.
Cisco has confirmed that this vulnerability does not affect Cisco IOS-XR and
Cisco IOS-XE.
Cisco 7600 Series Routers are not affected by this vulnerability.
Details
The LISP network architecture and protocol implements a new semantic for IP
addressing by creating two new namespaces: Endpoint Identifiers (EIDs), which
are assigned to end hosts, and Routing Locators (RLOCs), which are assigned to
devices (primarily routers) that make up the global routing system. Splitting
EID and RLOC functions improves routing system scalability, multihoming
efficiency, and ingress traffic engineering. LISP end site support is
configured on devices such as Cisco routers. This...
Indicators of Compromise

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 Technical Assistance Center (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 Software
To help customers determine their exposure to vulnerabilities in Cisco IOS
Software, Cisco provides a tool, the Cisco IOS Software Checker, that
identifies any Cisco Security Advisories that impact a specific Cisco IOS
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:
