Summary

The Cisco PIX Firewall provides robust, enterprise-class security services
including stateful inspection firewalling, standards-based IP Security
(IPsec) Virtual Private Networking (VPN), intrusion protection and much
more in cost-effective, easy to deploy solutions.

Two vulnerabilities have been resolved for the PIX firewall for which
fixes are available. These vulnerabilities are documented as Cisco bug ID
CSCdv83490 and CSCdx35823. There are no workarounds available to mitigate
the effects of these vulnerabilities.

This advisory will be posted at
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707...uln-pub.shtml.

Affected Products

All PIX Firewall units running the vulnerable releases and using the
specific features are affected by these vulnerabilities.

No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by these
vulnerabilities.

Details

CSCdv83490
When a user establishes a VPN session upon successful peer and
user authentication, the PIX creates an ISAKMP SA associating the
user and his IP address.

If an attacker is now able to block the logged-in user's
connection and establish a connection to the PIX using the same IP
address as that of the user, he will be able to establish a VPN
session with the PIX, using only peer authentication, provided he
already has access to the peer authentication key also known as
the group pre-shared key (PSK) or group password key.

CSCdx35823
A user starting a connection via FTP, Telnet, or over the World
Wide Web (HTTP) is prompted for their user name and password. If
the user name and password are verified by the designated TACACS+
or RADIUS authentication server, the PIX Firewall unit will allow
further traffic between the authentication server and the
connection to interact independently through the PIX Firewall
unit's "cut-through proxy" feature.

The PIX may crash and reload due to a buffer overflow
vulnerability while processing HTTP traffic requests for
authentication using TACACS+ or RADIUS.

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/...ita/index.htm. The Cisco
Systems Terms and Acronyms online guide can be found at
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/...a/cisco12.htm.

These vulnerabilities are documented in the Bug Toolkit as Bug IDs
CSCdv83490 and CSCdx35823, and can be viewed after 2002 November 21 at
1600 UTC. To access this tool, you must be a registered user and you must
be logged in.

The procedure to upgrade to the fixed software version is detailed at
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/..._sw/index.htm.

Obtaining Fixed Software

Cisco is offering free software upgrades to address these vulnerabilities
for all affected customers. Customers may only install and expect support
for the feature sets they have purchased.

Customers with service contracts should contact their regular update
channels to obtain the free software upgrade 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/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/pix. To access the software,
download URL http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/pix, 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).

Cisco 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)

See http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687...y/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
advisory 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
