Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20170322-iox
First Published: 2017 March 22 16:00 GMT
Version 1.0: Final
Workarounds: No workarounds available
Cisco Bug IDs:
CSCuy52330
CVSS Score:
Base 9.8, Temporal 9.8
CVE-2017-3853
CWE-119
Summary
A vulnerability in the Data-in-Motion (DMo) process installed with the Cisco
IOx application environment could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to
cause a stack overflow that could allow remote code execution with root
privileges in the virtual instance running on an affected device.
The vulnerability is due to insufficient bounds checking in the DMo process.
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted packets that
are forwarded to the DMo process for evaluation. The impacts of a successful
exploit are limited to the scope of the virtual instance and do not impact the
router that is hosting Cisco IOx.
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:

Workarounds
There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
Fixed Software
Cisco has released free software updates that address the vulnerability
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:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/general/warranty/English/EU1KEN_.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 and Alerts page, to determine exposure and a complete upgrade
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 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.
Fixed Releases
Cisco IOx version 1.2.4.2 resolves this vulnerability.
Cisco IOx Release 1.2.4.2 can be downloaded from the Software Center on
