Cisco Security Advisory: Cisco Virtualized Packet Core-Distributed Instance Denial of Service Vulnerability

Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20180207-vpcdi

Revision: 1.0

For Public Release: 2018 February 7 16:00 GMT

Last Updated: 2018 February 7 16:00 GMT

CVE ID(s): CVE-2018-0117

CVSS Score v(3): 8.6 CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H

+———————————————————————

Summary
=======
A vulnerability in the ingress packet processing functionality of the Cisco Virtualized Packet Core-Distributed Instance (VPC-DI) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause both control function (CF) instances on an affected system to reload, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition.

The vulnerability is due to insufficient handling of user-supplied data by the affected software. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending malicious traffic to the internal distributed instance (DI) network address on an affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause an unhandled error condition on the affected system, which would cause the CF instances to reload and consequently cause the entire VPC to reload, resulting in the disconnection of all subscribers and a DoS condition on the affected system.

Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
