BUGTRAQ ID: 31364
CVE(CAN) ID: CVE-2008-2739
Cisco IOS is the Internet operating system which on the Cisco network equipment uses.
If Cisco IOS has begun using the invasion protective system (IPS) function, then may trigger SERVICE.DNS engine's IPS characteristic network communication possibly to cause the router to collapse or to hang up, creates situation which refuses to serve.
* each Cisco IOS which disposes to the equipment on IPS strategy increase access control tabulation (ACL), such Cisco IOS the IPS function does not inspect the transmission for 53/udp or the 53/tcp port's communication. Needs to increase following ACL to the equipment disposition:
! deny inspection of traffic with a destination port of 53/udp
access-list 177 deny udp any eq 53
! deny inspection of traffic with a destination port of 53/tcp
access-list 177 deny tcp any eq 53
! allow all other traffic to be inspected
access-list 177 permit ip any
Then needs to revise on equipment's each Cisco IOS the IPS strategy routine before in order to quote ACL. If must judge Cisco IOS which on the equipment disposes the IPS strategy, carries out show running-config as follows | include ip ips name order:
Router#show running-config | include ip ips name
ip ips name ios-ips-incoming
ip ips name ios-ips-outgoing
Router#
In the example above, on the equipment has disposed two Cisco IOS the IPS strategy. The following demonstration demonstrated that strategy increases ACL to above each Cisco IOS the IPS:
Router#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#ip ips name ios-ips-incoming list 177
Router(config)#ip ips name ios-ips-outgoing list 177
Router(config)#end
Router#
As the confirmation step, may carry out show ip ips once more interfaces order confirmation already to each Cisco IOS IPS strategy correct attachment ACL:
Router#show ip ips interfaces
Interface Configuration
Interface FastEthernet0/0
Inbound IPS rule is ios-ips-incoming
acl list 177
Outgoing IPS rule is not set
Interface FastEthernet0/1
