Cisco Security Advisory
Cisco IOS Software Session Initiation Protocol Denial of Service Vulnerability
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C/E:F/RL:OF/RC:C
-
A vulnerability exists in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) implementation in Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause an affected device to reload. Affected devices must be configured to process SIP messages and for pass-through of Session Description Protocol (SDP) for this vulnerability to be exploitable.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds for devices that must run SIP; however, mitigations are available to limit exposure to the vulnerability.

Vulnerable Products
Cisco devices that are running affected Cisco IOS Software or Cisco IOS XE Software versions are vulnerable when they are configured to process SIP messages and when pass-through of Session Description Protocol (SDP) is enabled.
Recent versions of Cisco IOS Software do not process SIP messages by default. Creating a dial peer by issuing the dial-peer voice configuration command will start the SIP processes, causing the Cisco IOS device to process SIP messages. In addition, several features within Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express, such as ePhones, will also automatically start the SIP process when they are configured, causing the device to start processing SIP messages. The following is an example of an affected configuration:
dial-peer voice
voip ... ! In addition to inspecting the Cisco IOS device configuration for a dial-peer command that causes the device to process SIP messages, administrators can also use the show processes | include SIP command to determine whether Cisco IOS Software is running the processes that handle SIP messages. In the following example, the presence of the processes CCSIP_UDP_SOCKET or CCSIP_TCP_SOCKET indicates that the Cisco IOS device will process SIP messages:
Router# show processes | include SIP 149 Mwe 40F48254 4 1 400023108/24000 0 CCSIP_UDP_SOCKET 150 Mwe 40F48034 4 1 400023388/24000 0 CCSIP_TCP_SOCKET
Note: Because there are several ways a device running Cisco IOS Software can start processing SIP messages, it is recommended that the show processes | include SIP command be used to determine whether the device is processing SIP messages instead of relying on the presence of specific configuration commands.
A device is only affected when SIP is enabled and when SDP pass-through is enabled at the global level or dial-peer level. At the global level, SDP pass-through is configured as follows:
voice service voip sip
pass-thru content sdp
dial-peer voice
voip
voice-class sip pass-thru content sdpNote: The Cisco Unified Border Element feature (CUBE), previously known as the Cisco Multiservice IP-to-IP Gateway, is a special Cisco IOS Software image that runs on Cisco multiservice gateway platforms. It provides a network-to-network interface point for billing, security, call admission control, quality of service, and signaling interworking.
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 displays 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 15.0(1)M1 with an installed image name of C3900-UNIVERSALK9-M:
Router> show version
Cisco IOS Software, C3900 Software (C3900-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 15.0(1)M1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

-
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a popular signaling protocol that is used to manage 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 has the flexibility 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 vulnerability exists in the SIP implementation in Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software that could allow a remote attacker to cause an affected device to reload. This vulnerability is triggered when an affected device processes a crafted SIP message that contains a valid Session Description Protocol (SDP) message. Only traffic destined to the device can trigger the vulnerability; transit SIP traffic is not an exploit vector. SDP pass-through must be enabled, either at the global level, or at the dial-peer level, for a device to be affected by this vulnerability.
Note: In cases where SIP is running over TCP transport, a TCP three-way handshake is necessary to exploit this vulnerability.
This vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug IDs CSCtj33003 (registered customers only) and CSCtw84664 (registered customers only) and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID CVE-2012-3949.
Note: This vulnerability also affects Cisco Unified Communications Manager. The corresponding Cisco bug ID is CSCtw66721 (registered customers only). Refer to the separate Cisco Security Advisory for the Cisco Unified Communications Manager for additional details.
-
If the affected Cisco IOS device requires SIP and pass-through of SDP for VoIP services, then SIP and SDP pass-through cannot be disabled and no workarounds are available. Users are advised to apply mitigation techniques to help limit exposure to the vulnerabilities. Mitigation consists of allowing only legitimate devices to connect to affected devices. To increase effectiveness, the mitigation must be coupled with anti-spoofing measures on the network edge. This action is required because SIP can use UDP as the transport protocol.
Additional mitigations that can be deployed on Cisco devices within the network are available in the companion document "Identifying and Mitigating Exploitation of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Cisco IOS Software Session Initiation Protocol Denial of Service Vulnerability", which is available at the following link:
https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/viewAMBAlert.x?alertId=26765Disabling SIP Listening Ports
For devices that do not require SIP to be enabled, the simplest and most effective workaround is to disable SIP processing on the device. Some versions of Cisco IOS Software allow administrators to disable SIP with the following commands:
sip-ua no transport udp no transport tcp no transport tcp tls
Warning: When applying this workaround to devices that are processing Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) or H.323 calls, the devices will not stop SIP processing while active calls are being processed. Under these circumstances, this workaround should be implemented during a maintenance window when active calls can be briefly stopped.
The show udp connections, show tcp brief all, and show processes | include SIP commands can be used to confirm that the SIP UDP and TCP ports are closed after applying this workaround.
Depending on the Cisco IOS Software version in use, when SIP is disabled the output from the show ip sockets command may still show the SIP ports open, but sending traffic to them will cause the SIP process to emit the following message:
*Jul 27 15:22:41.251: sip_udp_sock_process_read: SIP UDP Listener is DISABLED
Disabling SDP Pass-Through
If SIP must remain enabled, but SDP pass-through is not required, then disabling SDP pass-through can be used as a workaround. SDP pass-through is disabled by default. SDP pass-through can be enabled at the global level, or at the dial peer level. Refer to the section "Affected Products" for details on how to disable SDP pass-through.
Control Plane Policing
For devices that must offer SIP services, it is possible to use Control Plane Policing (CoPP) to block SIP traffic to the device from untrusted sources. Cisco IOS Releases 12.0S, 12.2SX, 12.2S, 12.3T, 12.4, and 12.4T support the CoPP feature. CoPP may be configured on a device to protect the management and control planes to minimize the risk and effectiveness of direct infrastructure attacks by explicitly permitting only authorized traffic sent to infrastructure devices in accordance with existing security policies and configurations. The following example can be adapted to specific network configurations:
!-- The 192.168.1.0/24 network and the 172.16.1.1 host are trusted. !-- Everything else is not trusted. The following access list is used !-- to determine what traffic needs to be dropped by a control plane !-- policy (the CoPP feature): if the access list matches (permit) !-- then traffic will be dropped and if the access list does not !-- match (deny) then traffic will be processed by the router. access-list 100 deny udp 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 any eq 5060 access-list 100 deny tcp 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 any eq 5060 access-list 100 deny tcp 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 any eq 5061 access-list 100 deny udp host 172.16.1.1 any eq 5060 access-list 100 deny tcp host 172.16.1.1 any eq 5060 access-list 100 deny tcp host 172.16.1.1 any eq 5061 access-list 100 permit udp any any eq 5060 access-list 100 permit tcp any any eq 5060 access-list 100 permit tcp any any eq 5061 !-- Permit (Police or Drop)/Deny (Allow) all other Layer3 and Layer4 !-- traffic in accordance with existing security policies and !-- configurations for traffic that is authorized to be sent !-- to infrastructure devices. !-- Create a Class-Map for traffic to be policed by !-- the CoPP feature. class-map match-all drop-sip-class match access-group 100 !-- Create a Policy-Map that will be applied to the !-- Control-Plane of the device. policy-map control-plane-policy class drop-sip-class drop !-- Apply the Policy-Map to the Control-Plane of the !-- device. control-plane service-policy input control-plane-policy
Note: Because SIP can use UDP as a transport protocol, it is possible to spoof the source address of an IP packet, which may bypass access control lists that permit communication to these ports from trusted IP addresses.
In the preceding CoPP example, the access control entries (ACEs) that match the potential exploit packets with the permit action result in these packets being discarded by the policy-map drop function, while packets that match the deny action (not shown) are not affected by the policy-map drop function. Additional information on the configuration and use of the CoPP feature can be found at http://www.cisco.com/web/about/security/intelligence/coppwp_gs.html and http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_3t/12_3t4/feature/guide/gtrtlimt.html.
