    Summary
    =======

    The Cisco IOS Firewall Authentication Proxy for FTP and/or Telnet
    Sessions feature in specific versions of Cisco IOS software is
    vulnerable to a remotely-exploitable buffer overflow condition.

    Devices that do not support, or are not configured for Firewall
    Authentication Proxy for FTP and/or Telnet Services are not affected.

    Devices configured with only Authentication Proxy for HTTP and/or
    HTTPS are not affected.

    Only devices running certain versions of Cisco IOS are affected.

    Cisco has made free software available to address this vulnerability.
    There are workarounds available to mitigate the effects of the
    vulnerability.

    This advisory is available at
    http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20050907-auth_proxy.shtml.

    Affected Products
    =================

    Vulnerable Products
    +------------------

    Devices that are running the following release trains of Cisco IOS are
    affected if Firewall Authentication Proxy for FTP and/or Telnet
    Sessions is configured and applied to an active interface.

        * 12.2ZH and 12.2ZL based trains
        * 12.3 based trains
        * 12.3T based trains
        * 12.4 based trains
        * 12.4T based trains

    To determine the software running on a Cisco product, log in to the
    device and issue the show version command to display the system
    banner. Cisco IOS software will identify itself as "Internetwork
    Operating System Software" or simply "IOS." On the next line of output,
    the image name will be displayed between parentheses, followed by
    "Version" and the Cisco IOS release name. Other Cisco devices will not
    have the show version command, or will give different output.

    The following example identifies a Cisco 7200 router running Cisco IOS
    release 12.3(10a) with an installed image name of C7200-JK8O3S-M.

    Router#show version
    Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software
    IOS (tm) 7200 Software (C7200-JK8O3S-M), Version 12.3(10a), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)
    Copyright (c) 1986-2004 by cisco Systems, Inc.

    Additional information about Cisco IOS release naming can be found at
    http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/620/1.html.

    Refer to the Details section for more information about affected and
    unaffected configurations.

    Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
    +--------------------------------

        * Products that are not running Cisco IOS are not affected
        * Products that are running Cisco IOS versions 12.2 and earlier
          (including 12.0S) are not affected. (excluding 12.2ZH and 12.2ZL)
        * Products that are running Cisco IOS are not affected unless they
          are configured for Firewall Authentication Proxy for FTP and/or
          Telnet Sessions.
        * Products that are running Cisco IOS XR are not affected.

    No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by this
    vulnerability.

    Details
    =======

    The Cisco IOS Firewall Authentication Proxy feature allows network
    administrators to apply specific security policies on a per-user basis.
    With the Firewall Authentication Proxy for FTP and/or Telnet Sessions
    feature, users can log into the network services via FTP and/or Telnet,
    and their specific access profiles are automatically retrieved and
    applied from a Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS), or
    Terminal Access Controller Access Control System Plus (TACACS+)
    authentication server.

    Cisco IOS Software is vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) and
    potentially an arbitrary code execution attack when processing the
    user authentication credentials from an Authentication Proxy Telnet/FTP
    session. To exploit this vulnerability an attacker must first complete
    a TCP connection to the IOS device running affected software and
    receive an auth-proxy authentication prompt.

    This vulnerability is documented in the Cisco Bug Toolkit as Bug ID
    CSCsa54608 (registered customers only)

    To determine if your device is running Firewall Authentication Proxy for
    FTP and/or Telnet Sessions feature, log into the device and issue the
    show ip auth-proxy configuration command to display the configuration
    of Firewall Authentication Proxy services. The following example
    identifies Firewall Authentication Proxy services running for Telnet and
    FTP under the proxy rule name proxy_example.

    Router#show ip auth-proxy configuration
    Authentication global cache time is 60 minutes
    Authentication global absolute time is 0 minutes
    Authentication Proxy Watch-list is disabled

    Authentication Proxy Rule Configuration
    Auth-proxy name proxy_example
            ftp list not specified auth-cache-time 60 minutes
            telnet list not specified auth-cache-time 60 minutes

    The following will be seen if Firewall Authentication Proxy services are
    not enabled but supported in your IOS version:

    Router#show ip auth-proxy configuration
    Authentication global cache time is 60 minutes
    Authentication global absolute time is 0 minutes
    Authentication Proxy Watch-list is disabled

    Router#

    The following will be seen if running a version of IOS that does not
    support Firewall Authentication Proxy services:

    Router#show ip auth-proxy configuration
                    ^
    % Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

    Router#

    A router that has Firewall Authentication Proxy services assigned to an
    interface will have ip auth-proxy <list name> command under an
    interface in the show running-config output.

    The following example identifies Firewall Authentication Proxy services
    running under the proxy rule name "proxy_example" applied to the
    interface Ethernet 2/1:

    Router#show ip auth-proxy configuration
    Authentication global cache time is 60 minutes
    Authentication global absolute time is 0 minutes
    Authentication Proxy Watch-list is disabled

    Authentication Proxy Rule Configuration
    Auth-proxy name proxy_example
                ftp list not specified auth-cache-time 60 minutes
            telnet list not specified auth-cache-time 60 minutes

    Router#show running-config
    !
    !
    !
    interface Ethernet2/1
     ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
     ip auth-proxy proxy_example
    !
    !
    !

    Impact
    ======

    Successful exploitation of the vulnerability on Cisco IOS may result
    in a reload of the device or execution of arbitrary code. Repeated
    exploitation could result in a sustained DoS attack or execution of
    arbitrary code on Cisco IOS devices.

    Software Versions and Fixes
    ===========================

    When considering software upgrades, please also consult
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_security_advisories_listing.html
    and any subsequent advisories to determine exposure and a complete
    upgrade solution.

    In all cases, customers should exercise caution to be certain the
    devices to be upgraded contain sufficient memory and that current
    hardware and software configurations will continue to be supported
    properly by the new release. If the information is not clear, contact
    the Cisco Technical Assistance Center ("TAC") for assistance.

    Each row of the Cisco IOS software table (below) describes a release
    train and the platforms or products for which it is intended. If a given
    release train is vulnerable, then the earliest possible releases that
    contain the fix (the "First Fixed Release") and the anticipated date of
    availability for each are listed in the "Rebuild" and "Maintenance"
    columns. A device running a release in the given train that is earlier
    than the release in a specific column (less than the First Fixed
    Release) is known to be vulnerable. The release should be upgraded at
    least to the indicated release or a later version (greater than or
    equal to the First Fixed Release label).

    Obtaining Fixed Software
    ========================

    Customers with Service Contracts
    +-------------------------------

    Customers with contracts should obtain upgraded software through their
    regular update channels. For most customers, this means that upgrades
    should be obtained through the Software Center on Cisco's worldwide
    website at http://www.cisco.com.

    Customers using Third-party Support Organizations
    +------------------------------------------------

    Customers whose Cisco products are provided or maintained through prior
    or existing agreement with third-party support organizations such as
    Cisco Partners, authorized resellers, or service providers should
    contact that support organization for assistance with the upgrade,
    which should be free of charge.

    Customers without Service Contracts
    +----------------------------------

    Customers who purchase direct from Cisco but who do not hold a Cisco
    service contract and customers who purchase through third-party vendors
    but are unsuccessful at obtaining fixed software through their point of
    sale should get their upgrades by contacting the Cisco Technical
    Assistance Center (TAC). TAC contacts are as follows.

        * +1 800 553 2447 (toll free from within North America)
        * +1 408 526 7209 (toll call from anywhere in the world)
        * e-mail: tac@cisco.com

    Please have your product serial number available and give the URL of
    this notice as evidence of your entitlement to a free upgrade. Free
    upgrades for non-contract customers must be requested through the TAC.

    Please do not contact either "psirt@cisco.com" or
    "security-alert@cisco.com" for software upgrades.

    See http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml for
    additional TAC contact information, including special localized
    telephone numbers and instructions and e-mail addresses for use in
    various languages.

    Customers may only install and expect support for the feature sets they
    have purchased. By installing, downloading, accessing or otherwise using
    such software upgrades, customers agree to be bound by the terms of
    Cisco's software license terms found at
    http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-license-agreement.html, or as otherwise
    set forth at Cisco.com Downloads at
    http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/sw-usingswc.shtml.

    Workarounds
    ===========

    The effectiveness of any workaround is dependent on specific customer
    situations such as product mix, network topology, traffic behavior, and
    organizational mission. Due to the variety of affected products and
    releases, customers should consult with their service provider or
    support organization to ensure any applied workaround is the most
    appropriate for use in the intended network before it is deployed.

    Disable Cisco IOS Firewall Authentication Proxy feature for Telnet/FTP sessions
    +------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In networks where Cisco IOS Firewall Authentication Proxy feature for
    Telnet/FTP sessions is not required but enabled, disabling the feature on
    an IOS device will eliminate exposure to this vulnerability. On a router
    which is configured for Cisco IOS Firewall Authentication Proxy feature
    for Telnet/FTP sessions, this must be done by issuing the command:
     
    "no ip auth-proxy name 'auth-proxy-name' {ftp | telnet}"

    Deploy Cisco IOS Firewall Authentication Proxy feature for HTTP/HTTPS sessions
    +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Configure the device with Cisco IOS Firewall Authentication Proxy feature
    for HTTP and/or HTTPS sessions and allow the Telnet and FTP services
    within the per-user TACACS+/RADIUS profile. Disable Authentication
    proxy for Telnet/FTP sessions to eliminate exposure.

    An example of the configuration statements for HTTP session Auth-proxy is:

             ! Configure auth-proxy for http session authentication
             ip auth-proxy name http-proxy http
             ! Configure the router's web server to service auth-proxy authentication attempts
             ip http server
             ! Set the HTTP server authentication method to AAA
             ip http authentication aaa

    Additional auth-proxy and web server configuration settings are available.
    For details see:
    http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios120/120newft/120t/120t5/iosfw2/iosfw2_1.htm

    After successful authentication via HTTP/HTTPS, the user can initiate
    required FTP or Telnet sessions. The example shown below for Cisco
    Secure Windows (TACACS+) server profile Group setting allows FTP and
    Telnet as part of access-list entry proxyacl#2=permit tcp any any

             priv-lvl=15
             proxyacl#1=permit icmp any any
             proxyacl#2=permit tcp any any
             proxyacl#3=permit udp any any

    Mitigations
    ===========

    Not all of the mitigation strategies listed will work for all customers.
    Some of the workarounds listed are dependent on which versions and
    feature-sets of IOS you have in your network. These mitigation strategies,
    may help reduce exposure to this vulnerability.
    To eliminate exposure to this vulnerability, customers should apply one
    of the workarounds listed above, or upgrade to a fixed release of Cisco
    IOS.

    Access Control Lists (ACLs)
    +--------------------------
    Deploying IP access-lists can mitigate the effects of this vulnerability
    by allowing Firewall Authentication Proxy access only from trusted
    subnets. This feature must be used in conjunction with interface
    access-lists to ensure that IP traffic from un-trusted subnets is
    dropped by the router and not forwarded around the auth-proxy feature.
    Once the IP access-list is created, it is applied to the Authentication
    proxy by adding the keyword "list" followed by the IP access-list name or
    number. In the example below the trusted network is 169.160.160.0/24 and
    the auth-proxy router interface is 10.66.65.47. Example:

             ! Permit trusted network 169.160.160.0/24 to access auth-proxy
             access-list 105 permit tcp 169.160.160.0 0.0.0.255 any eq telnet
             !
             ! Deny all IP traffic that is not authenticated by auth-proxy
             ! Note: Management and Control traffic to the router itself would
             ! need to be allowed in this access-list
             access-list 106 deny ip any any
             !
             ! Modify the telnet auth-proxy config to use access-list 105
             ip auth-proxy name tel-proxy telnet inactivity-time 60 list 105
             !
             ! Apply interface access-list 106 and auth-proxy test
             interface FastEthernet1/0
             ip address 10.66.65.47 255.255.255.0
             ip access-group 106 in
             ip auth-proxy tel-proxy

    For further information on creating IP access lists see

    Control Plane Policing
    +---------------------
    The Control Plane Policy (CoPP) feature can be used to mitigate the
    effects of this vulnerability by only allowing trusted hosts to attempt
    connections through the auth-proxy router.

    Care must be taken to ensure that legitimate management connections to
    the auth-proxy router itself are not dropped by the CoPP policy.

    In the following example trusted management host 169.160.160.1 is allowed
    to establish Telnet connections to the auth-proxy router itself.
    Trusted network 169.160.160.0/24 is allowed to attempt FTP and Telnet
    auth-proxy connections to IP networks and addresses other than the
    auth-proxy router itself. All other inbound FTP and Telnet connections
    attempts are denied.

    The auth-proxy router's IP addresses are 172.16.1.1 (Internet Side),
    1.1.1.1/24 and 10.66.65.47 (Internal). Telnet/FTP server is 172.168.1.1.

             ! Do not police Telnet from trusted management host 169.160.160.1 to the auth-proxy
             ! router

             access-list 105 remark ** Do not police telnet from Trusted Hosts to Auth-Proxy Router **
             access-list 105 deny tcp host 169.160.160.1 host 172.16.1.1 eq telnet
             access-list 105 deny tcp host 172.168.1.1 host 1.1.1.1 eq telnet
             access-list 105 deny tcp host 172.168.1.1 host 10.66.65.47 eq telnet
             !
             ! Police all other telnet and ftp connections to the auth-proxy router
             access-list 105 remark ** Police all other telnet/ftp attempts to Auth-Proxy Router **
             access-list 105 permit tcp any host 172.16.1.1 eq telnet
             access-list 105 permit tcp any host 1.1.1.1 eq telnet
             access-list 105 permit tcp any host 10.66.65.47 eq telnet
             access-list 105 permit tcp any host 172.16.1.1 eq ftp
             access-list 105 permit tcp any host 1.1.1.1 eq ftp

    Transit Access Control Lists
    +---------------------------
    Additional mitigation can be added by Transit Access Control Lists that
    filter transit and edge traffic at network ingress points should be
    configured so that IP traffic is only allowed from legitimate, trusted
    IP addresses. For more information on tACLs, refer to:
    http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/tacl.html
