Vigil@nce: Cisco IOS, denial of service via BGP

August 2009 by Vigil@nce

A malicious peer can send BGP packets in order to force the router
to restart.

Severity: 2/4

Consequences: denial of service of computer

Provenance: intranet client

Means of attack: no proof of concept, no attack

Ability of attacker: expert (4/4)

Confidence: confirmed by the editor (5/5)

Diffusion of the vulnerable configuration: high (3/3)

Number of vulnerabilities in this bulletin: 2

Creation date: 29/07/2009

IMPACTED PRODUCTS

 Cisco IOS

DESCRIPTION OF THE VULNERABILITY

The RFC 4893 extents the BGP protocol to support ASN (Autonomous
System Number) on 4 bytes, instead of 2 bytes. When an IOS router
supports ASN-4, a malicious peer can generate two vulnerabilities.

An attacker can send more than one thousand BGP Updates using
ASN-2, to generate a denial of service. [grav:2/4; BID-35860,
CSCsy86021]

An attacker can send a malformed BGP Update using ASN-2, to
generate a denial of service. [grav:2/4; BID-35862, CSCta33973,
CVE-2009-2049]

A malicious peer can therefore send BGP packets in order to force
the router to restart.
