CA-93:07 CERT Advisory
April 22, 1993
Cisco Router Packet Handling Vulnerability
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The CERT Coordination Center has received information indicating that under
some circumstances Cisco routers will pass IP source routed packets which
should have been denied. Routers which do not use the "no ip source-route"
command are not affected. This vulnerability applies to all models of Cisco
routers. This problem occurs with the following releases of software: 8.2,
8.3, 9.0, 9.1 and 9.17.
Cisco Systems and CERT recommend that sites using Cisco routers to provide
firewall protection take action to eliminate this vulnerability from their
networks.
This security issue is fixed in Cisco software releases 8.3(7.2), 9.0(5),
9.1(4) 9.17(2.1) and in all later releases. Customers who are using software
release 8.2 must upgrade to a later release and should contact Cisco's
Technical Assistance Center (TAC) at 800-553-2447 (Internet: tac@cisco.com)
for more information.
Cisco recommends that customers whose routers may be affected by this
vulnerability upgrade their software to the following versions:
Release (Update)
8.3 (8)
9.0 (5)
9.1 (4)
9.17 (3)
These releases are available on Cisco's Customer Information On-Line (CIO)
service for those customers having a maintenance contract. Other customers
may obtain these releases through Cisco's Technical Assistance Center or
by contacting their local Cisco distributor.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I. Description

may allow traffic which should be suppressed.
II. Impact

the router/gateway.
III. Solution
Cisco recommends that affected customers upgrade to a later version.
