An affected network device running an SSL server based on the OpenSSL implementation may be vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack when presented with a malformed certificate by a client. The network device is vulnerable to this vulnerability even if it is configured to not authenticate certificates from the client. There are workarounds available to mitigate the effects of these vulnerabilities. This advisory will be posted at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20030930-ssl.shtml. Affected Products The following products have their SSL implementation based on the OpenSSL code and may be affected by the OpenSSL vulnerabilities. * Cisco IOS 12.1(11)E and later in the 12.1E release train * Cisco PIX Firewall * Cisco Firewall Services Module (FWSM) for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series and Cisco 7600 Series routers * Cisco Network Analysis Modules (NAM) for the Cisco Catalyst 6000 and 6500 Series switches and Cisco 7600 Series routers * Cisco Content Service Switch (CSS) 11000 series * Cisco Global Site Selector (GSS) 4480 * Cisco Application & Content Networking Software (ACNS) * Cisco SN 5428 Storage Router * CiscoWorks 1105 Hosting Solution Engine (HSE) * CiscoWorks 1105 Wireless LAN Solution Engine (WLSE) * CiscoWorks Common Services (CMF) * Cisco SIP Proxy Server (SPS) The following products, which implement SSL, are currently known to be not vulnerable to the OpenSSL vulnerabilities. * Cisco VPN 3000 Series Concentrators * Cisco Secure Intrusion Detection System (NetRanger) appliance. This includes the IDS-42xx appliances, NM-CIDS and WS-SVS-IDSM2. * Cisco Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Services Module for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series and Cisco 7600 Series routers * Cisco Call Manager No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by these vulnerabilities. Details An affected network device running an SSL server based on the OpenSSL implementation may be vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack when presented with a malformed certificate by a client. The network device is vulnerable to this vulnerability even if it is configured to not authenticate certificates from the client. More information on these OpenSSL vulnerabilities is available at http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20030930.txt . * Cisco IOS - All 12.1(11)E and later IOS software releases in the 12.1E release train are affected by the OpenSSL vulnerabilities.

WebNS version 5.x is not vulnerable to the OpenSSL vulnerabilities. This vulnerability is documented as Bug IDs CSCec45165 and CSCec45342 . * Cisco Global Site Selector (GSS) 4480 - This vulnerability is documented as Bug ID CSCec45380 . * Cisco Application & Content Networking Software (ACNS) - This vulnerability is documented as Bug ID CSCec41413 . * Cisco SN 5428 Storage Router - This vulnerability is documented as Bug ID CSCec44103 . * CiscoWorks 1105 Hosting Solution Engine (HSE) - This vulnerability is documented as Bug ID CSCec38542 . * CiscoWorks 1105 Wireless LAN Solution Engine (WLSE) - This vulnerability is documented as Bug ID CSCec38526 . * CiscoWorks Common Services (CMF) - Both Solaris and Windows version of CMF 2.2 and CMF 2.1 are vulnerable. Windows versions of Core 1.0 are also vulnerable. This vulnerability is documented as Bug ID CSCec43722 * Cisco SIP Proxy Server (SPS) - This vulnerability is documented as Bug ID CSCec31901 . Impact An affected network device running an SSL server based on the OpenSSL implementation may be vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack when presented with a malformed certificate by a client regardless of whether it is configured to process client certificates or not.

Obtaining Fixed Software Cisco is offering free software upgrades or patches to address these vulnerabilities for all affected customers. Customers may only install and expect support for the feature sets they have purchased. By installing, downloading, accessing or otherwise using such software upgrades or patches, Customers agree to be bound by the terms of Cisco's software license terms found at http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-license-agreement.html, or as otherwise set forth at the Cisco Connection Online Software Center at http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/sw-usingswc.shtml. Customers with service contracts should contact their regular update channels to obtain the free software upgrade(s) or patches identified via this advisory. For most customers with service contracts, this means that upgrades should be obtained through the Software Center on Cisco's worldwide website at http://www.cisco.com/tacpage/sw-center/. To access the software download URL, you must be a registered user and you must be logged in. Customers whose Cisco products are provided or maintained through a prior or existing agreement with third-party support organizations such as Cisco Partners, authorized resellers, or service providers should contact that support organization for assistance with obtaining the free software upgrade(s). Customers who purchased directly from Cisco but who do not hold a Cisco service contract, and customers who purchase through third party vendors but are unsuccessful at obtaining fixed software through their point of sale, should obtain fixed software by contacting the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) using the contact information listed below. In these cases, customers are entitled to obtain an upgrade to a later version of the same release or as indicated by the applicable corrected software version in the Software Versions and Fixes section (noted above). TAC contacts are as follows. * +1 800 553 2447 (toll free from within North America) * +1 408 526 7209 (toll call from anywhere in the world) * e-mail: tac cisco com See http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml for additional TAC contact information, including special localized telephone numbers and instructions and e-mail addresses for use in various languages. Please have your product serial number available and give the URL of this notice as evidence of your entitlement to a free upgrade. Please do not contact either "psirt cisco com" or "security-alert cisco com" for software upgrades. Workarounds The Cisco PSIRT recommends that affected users upgrade to a fixed software version of code as soon as it is available. * Restrict access to the HTTPS server on the network device: Allow access to the network device only from trusted workstations by using ACL's / MAC filters that are available on the affected platforms. * Disable the SSL server / service on the network device. This workaround must be weighed against the need for secure communications with the vulnerable device. Exploitation and Public Announcements The Cisco PSIRT is not aware of any malicious use of the vulnerabilities described in this advisory at this time. These vulnerabilities have also been documented by the NISCC at http://www.uniras.gov.uk/vuls/2003/006489/openssl.htm . Status of This Notice: INTERIM This is a interim advisory.
