Queue Wedge Denial of Service Vulnerability
Priority: Medium
Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20190220-firpwr-dos
First Published: 2019 February 20 16:00 GMT
Version 1.0: Final
Workarounds: No workarounds available
Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvn57812
CVE-2019-1700
CWE-399
CVSSÂ Score:
6.1 AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:X/RL:X/RC:X
Summary
o A vulnerability in field-programmable gate array (FPGA) ingress buffer
management for the Cisco Firepower 9000 Series with the Cisco Firepower
2-port 100G double-width network module (PID: FPR9K-DNM-2X100G) could
allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a denial of service
(DoS) condition. Manual intervention may be required before a device will
resume normal operations.
The vulnerability is due to a logic error in the FPGA related to the
processing of different types of input packets. An attacker could exploit
this vulnerability by being on the adjacent subnet and sending a crafted
sequence of input packets to a specific interface on an affected device. A
successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause a queue wedge
condition on the interface. When a wedge occurs, the affected device will
stop processing any additional packets that are received on the wedged
interface.
There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

Affected Products
o Vulnerable Products
This vulnerability is specific to the Cisco Firepower 9000 Series with the
Cisco Firepower 2-port 100G double-width network module installed, which
is PID FPR9K-DNM-2X100G. The fix for this vulnerability is not an FXOS
Software upgrade; it is an FPGA firmware upgrade.
Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
Only products listed in the Vulnerable Products 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 2100 Series
Firepower 4100 Series
Indicators of Compromise
o On devices where this vulnerability is exploited, the input discard or
overrrun interface counters will increase exponentially. The administrator
can check for this condition by using the show interface command at the
CLI. When one or both of these counters increment, this is an indication
that no traffic is being processed on the interface.

The device may need to be rebooted to clear this condition. Contact the
Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for further assistance.
Workarounds
o There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
Fixed Software
o This vulnerability is fixed by an upgrade to the FPGA firmware. Customers
are advised to follow the procedure outlined in the Firmware Upgrade
section of the Cisco Firepower 4100/9300 FXOS CLI Configuration Guide.
This procedure works for FXOS Software Releases 2.2.2 or later. A customer
on an earlier release should upgrade to Software Release 2.2.2 (or later)
or contact the Cisco TAC for assistance.
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 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.
Exploitation and Public Announcements
o The Cisco Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) is not aware of
any public announcements or malicious use of the vulnerability that is
described in this advisory.
Source
o This vulnerability was found during the resolution of a Cisco TAC support
case.
