A companion advisory for Cisco IOS software is available at: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20090923-sip.shtml Note: The September 23, 2009, Cisco IOS Security Advisory bundled publication includes eleven Security Advisories. Ten of the advisories address vulnerabilities in Cisco IOS Software, and one advisory addresses a vulnerability in Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Each advisory lists the releases that correct the vulnerability or vulnerabilities detailed in the advisory. The following table lists releases that correct all Cisco IOS Software vulnerabilities that have been published on September 23, 2009, or earlier. http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20090923-bundle.shtml Individual publication links are in "Cisco Event Response: Semiannual Cisco IOS Software Advisory Bundled Publication" at the following link: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/security/intelligence/Cisco_ERP_sep09.html Affected Products ================= The vulnerability described in this document applies to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Vulnerable Products +------------------ The following Cisco Unified Communications Manager versions are affected: * Cisco Unified Communications Manager 5.x versions prior to 5.1(3g) * Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.x versions prior to 6.1(4) * Cisco Unified Communications Manager 7.0.x versions prior to 7.0(2a)su1 * Cisco Unified Communications Manager 7.1.x versions prior to 7.1(2) Cisco Unified CallManager versions 4.x are not affected by this vulnerability. Administrators of systems that are running Cisco Unified Communications Manager versions 5.x, 6.x and 7.x can determine the software version by viewing the main page of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration interface. The software version can also be determined by running the "show version active" command via the command-line interface. A SIP trunk must be configured for the Cisco Unified CallManager server to begin listening for SIP messages on TCP and UDP port 5060 and TCP/5061. However, in Cisco Unified Communications Manager versions 5.x and later, the use of SIP as a call signaling protocol is enabled by default and cannot be disabled. Cisco IOS Software is also affected by this vulnerability, but it is associated with different Cisco bug IDs. A companion security advisory for Cisco IOS Software is available at: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20090923-sip.shtml Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable +-------------------------------- Cisco Unified CallManager versions 4.x are not affected by this vulnerability. With the exception of Cisco IOS software, no other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by this vulnerability. Details ======= Cisco Unified Communications Manager is the call processing component of the Cisco IP Telephony solution that extends enterprise telephony features and functions to packet telephony network devices, such as IP phones, media processing devices, voice-over-IP gateways, and multimedia applications. SIP is a popular signaling protocol that manages voice and video calls across IP networks such as the Internet. SIP is responsible for handling all aspects of call setup and termination. Voice and video are the most popular types of sessions that SIP handles, but the protocol is flexible enough to accommodate other applications that require call setup and termination. SIP call signaling can use UDP (port 5060), TCP (port 5060), or Transport Layer Security (TLS; TCP port 5061) as the underlying transport protocol. A DoS vulnerability exists in the SIP implementation of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager. This vulnerability could be triggered when Cisco Unified Communications Manager processes crafted SIP messages. An exploit could lead to a reload of the main Cisco Unified Communications Manager process. This vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCsz95423 and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID CVE-2009-2864. Vulnerability Scoring Details ============================= Cisco has provided scores for the vulnerability in this advisory based on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). The CVSS scoring in this Security Advisory is done in accordance with CVSS version 2.0. CVSS is a standards-based scoring method that conveys vulnerability severity and helps determine urgency and priority of response. Cisco has provided a base and temporal score. Customers can then compute environmental scores to assist in determining the impact of the vulnerability in individual networks. Cisco has provided an FAQ to answer additional questions regarding CVSS at: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/security/intelligence/cvss-qandas.html Cisco has also provided a CVSS calculator to help compute the environmental impact for individual networks at: http://intellishield.cisco.com/security/alertmanager/cvss CSCsz95423 - Crafted SIP packet may cause CM process to crash CVSS Base Score - 7.8 Access Vector - Network Access Complexity - Low Authentication - None Confidentiality Impact - None Integrity Impact - None Availability Impact - Complete CVSS Temporal Score - 6.4 Exploitability - Functional Remediation Level - Official-Fix Report Confidence - Confirmed Impact ====== Successful exploitation of the vulnerability that is described in this advisory could result in a reload of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager process, which may result in the interruption of voice services. Software Versions and Fixes =========================== When considering software upgrades, also consult: http://www.cisco.com/go/psirt 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) or your contracted maintenance provider for assistance. The following table contains the first fixed software release for this vulnerability. A device running a version of the given release in a specific row (less than the First Fixed Release) is known to be vulnerable. +---------------------------------------+ | Release | First Fixed Version | |-----------+---------------------------| | 4.x | Not Vulnerable | |-----------+---------------------------| | 5.x | 5.1(3g) | |-----------+---------------------------| | 6.x | 6.1(4) | |-----------+---------------------------| | 7.0.x | 7.0(2a)su1 | |-----------+---------------------------| | 7.1.x | 7.1(2) | +---------------------------------------+ Workarounds =========== There are no workarounds for this vulnerability. It is possible to mitigate this vulnerability by implementing filtering on screening devices and permitting TCP/UDP access to ports 5060 and TCP/5061 only from networks that require SIP access to Cisco Unified Communications Manager servers. If Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not need to provide SIP services, administrators can configure the Cisco Unified Communications Manager to listen for SIP messages on non standard ports. Use the following instructions to change the ports from their default values: Step 1 Log into the Cisco Unified CallManager Administration web interface. Step 2 Navigate to System > Cisco Unified CM and locate the appropriate Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Step 3 Change the fields SIP Phone Port and SIP Phone Secure Port fields to a non standard port and click Save. SIP Phone Port, which is 5060 by default, refers to the TCP and UDP ports where the Cisco Unified Communications Manager listens for normal SIP messages, and SIP Phone Secure Port, by default 5061, refers to the TCP port where the Cisco Unified Communications Manager listens for SIP over TLS messages. For additional information about this procedure, refer to the "Updating a Cisco Unified Communications Manager" section of the "Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide" at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucmbe/admin/7_0_1/ccmcfg/b02ccm.html#wp1057513 Note: For a SIP port change to take effect, the Cisco CallManager Service must be restarted. For information on how to restart the service, refer to the "Restarting the Cisco CallManager Service" section of the document at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucmbe/admin/7_0_1/ccmcfg/b03dpi.html#wp1075124 Additional mitigations that can be deployed on Cisco devices in the network are available in the companion document "Cisco Applied Mitigation Bulletin: Identifying and Mitigating Exploitation of the Denial of Service Vulnerabilities in Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Cisco IOS Software", which is available at the following location: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-amb-20090923-voice.shtml Obtaining Fixed Software ======================== Cisco has released free software updates that address these vulnerabilities.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in the execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service (DoS) condition on an affected device. Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability. This advisory is posted at: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20090923-cme.shtml Note: The September 23, 2009, Cisco IOS Security Advisory bundled publication includes eleven Security Advisories. Ten of the advisories address vulnerabilities in Cisco IOS Software, and one advisory addresses a vulnerability in Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Each advisory lists the releases that correct the vulnerability or vulnerabilities detailed in the advisory. The following table lists releases that correct all Cisco IOS Software vulnerabilities that have been published on September 23, 2009, or earlier. http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20090923-bundle.shtml Individual publication links are in "Cisco Event Response: Semiannual Cisco IOS Software Advisory Bundled Publication" at the following link: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/security/intelligence/Cisco_ERP_sep09.html Affected Products ================= Cisco IOS devices, including Cisco Unified Communications 500 Series, that are configured for Cisco Unified CME and the Extension Mobility feature are affected. Vulnerable Products +------------------ A Cisco IOS device that is configured for Cisco Unified CME and Extension Mobility contains the following output when the show running-config command is issued: ephone [Ethernet phone tag] ... logout-profile [logout-profile tag] To determine the Cisco IOS Software release that is running on a Cisco product, administrators can log in to the device and issue the "show version" command to display the system banner. The system banner confirms that the device is running Cisco IOS Software by displaying text similar to "Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software" or "Cisco IOS Software." The image name is displayed in parentheses, followed by "Version" and the Cisco IOS Software release name. Other Cisco devices do not have the "show version" command or may provide different output. The following example identifies a Cisco product that is running Cisco IOS Software Release 12.3(26) with an installed image name of C2500-IS-L: Router#show version Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software IOS (tm) 2500 Software (C2500-IS-L), Version 12.3(26), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2) Technical Support: http://www.cisco.com/techsupport Copyright (c) 1986-2008 by cisco Systems, Inc.

Cisco IOS XR is not affected. Cisco IOS XE is not affected. Cisco Unified Communications Manager is not affected. Cisco Unified CME is not affected unless configured to use the Extension Mobility feature. No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by these vulnerabilities. Details ======= Cisco Unified CME is the call processing component of an enhanced IP telephony solution that is integrated into Cisco IOS. The Extension Mobility feature in Cisco Unified CME provides the benefit of phone mobility for end users. A user login service allows phone users to temporarily access a physical phone other than their own phone and utilize their personal settings, such as directory number, speed-dial lists, and services, that is assigned to their own desk phone. The phone user can make and receive calls on that phone using the same personal directory number as is on their own desk phone. More information on Extension Mobility feature is available at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucme/admin/configuration/guide/cmemobl.html A vulnerability in the login section of the Extension Mobility feature may allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service (DoS) condition. Such packets can only come from registered phone IP addresses in the form of HTTP requests. If the auto-registration feature is enabled, an attacker can register its IP address and subsequently send a crafted payload to exploit this vulnerability. The auto-registration feature is enabled by default. More information on auto-registration can be found at the following link: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucme/command/reference/cme_a1ht.html#wp1031242.
