Vigil@nce: Cisco IOS, CatOS, denial of service via VTP

November 2008 by Vigil@nce

SYNTHESIS

An attacker can send a malicious VTP packet on the local network
in order to restart the system.

Gravity: 1/4

Consequences: denial of service of computer

Provenance: LAN

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)

Creation date: 06/11/2008

IMPACTED PRODUCTS

 Cisco Catalyst
 Cisco IOS
 Cisco Router

DESCRIPTION

The VTP (VLAN Trunking Protocol) protocol is used to manage the
VLAN configuration. A password can be configured to authenticate
packets.

When some versions of the IOS/CatOS receive a malicious VTP
packet, a denial of service occurs. This packet:

 can be sent to a VTP client or server
 has to be received on a port of the trunk
 does not require an authentication

Technical details are unknown.

An attacker can therefore send a malicious VTP packet on the local
network in order to restart the system.
