Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-12-22 22:45

The do_change_cipher_spec function in OpenSSL 0.9.6c to 0.9.6k, and 0.9.7a to 0.9.7c, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted SSL/TLS handshake that triggers a null dereference. OpenSSL Is SSL/TLS Due to incomplete implementation of do_change_cipher_spec() In the function NULL A vulnerability exists where pointers are not handled properly.OpenSSL An application that uses the service disrupts service operation (DoS) It may be in a state. OpenSSL is an open source SSL implementation used to implement high-strength encryption of network communications. It is now widely used in various network applications.

Using the Codenomicon TLS test tool, OpenSSL found a NULL pointer allocation in the do_change_cipher_spec () function. Applications that rely on this library will generate a denial of service. For the first issue, a NULL-pointer assignment can be triggered by attackers during SSL/TLS handshake exchanges. The CVE candidate name for this vulnerability is CAN-2004-0079. Versions 0.9.6c to 0.9.6k (inclusive) and from 0.9.7a to 0.9.7c (inclusive) are vulnerable. The second issue is also exploited during the SSL/TLS handshake, but only when Kerberos ciphersuites are in use. The vendor has reported that this vulnerability may not be a threat to many, because it occurs only when Kerberos ciphersuites are in use, an uncommon configuration. The CVE candidate name for this vulnerability is CAN-2004-0112. Versions 0.9.7a, 0.9.7b, and 0.9.7c are affected.

Summary

A new vulnerability in the OpenSSL implementation for SSL has been announced on March 17, 2004.

An affected network device running an SSL server based on an affected OpenSSL implementation may be vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. There are workarounds available to mitigate the effects of this vulnerability on Cisco products in the workaround section of this advisory. Cisco is providing fixed software, and recommends that customers upgrade to it when it is available.

This advisory will be posted at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20040317-openssl.shtml.

 * Cisco IOS 12.1(11)E and later in the 12.1E release train. Only crypto
   images (56i and k2) are vulnerable for the Cisco 7100 and 7200 Series
   Routers. 
 * Cisco IOS 12.2SY release train. Only crypto images (k8, k9 and k91)
   are vulnerable for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series and Cisco 7600
   Series Routers. 
 * Cisco PIX Firewall
 * Cisco Firewall Services Module (FWSM) for the Cisco Catalyst 6500
   Series and Cisco 7600 Series routers
 * Cisco MDS 9000 Series Multilayer Switch
 * Cisco Content Service Switch (CSS) 11000 series
 * Cisco Global Site Selector (GSS) 4480
 * CiscoWorks Common Services (CWCS) version 2.2 and CiscoWorks Common
   Management Foundation (CMF) version 2.1
 * Cisco Access Registrar (CAR)

The following products have their SSL implementation based on the OpenSSL code and are not affected by this vulnerability.

 * Cisco Secure Intrusion Detection System (NetRanger) appliance. This
   includes the IDS-42xx appliances, NM-CIDS and WS-SVS-IDSM2. 
 * Cisco SN 5428 and SN 5428-2 Storage Router
 * Cisco CNS Configuration Engine
 * Cisco Network Analysis Modules (NAM) for the Cisco Catalyst 6000 and
   6500 Series switches and Cisco 7600 Series routers
 * Cisco SIP Proxy Server (SPS)
 * CiscoWorks 1105 Hosting Solution Engine (HSE)
 * CiscoWorks 1105 Wireless LAN Solution Engine (WLSE)
 * Cisco Ethernet Subscriber Solution Engine (ESSE)

The following products, which implement SSL, are not affected by this vulnerability.

 * Cisco VPN 3000 Series Concentrators

CatOS does not implement SSL and is not vulnerable.

No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by this vulnerability. This vulnerability is still being actively investigated across Cisco products and status of some products has still not been determined.

Details

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), is a protocol used to encrypt the data transferred over an TCP session. SSL in Cisco products is mainly used by the HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) web service for which the default TCP port is 443. The affected products, listed above, are only vulnerable if they have the HTTPS service enabled and the access to the service is not limited to trusted hosts or network management workstations.

To check if the HTTPS service is enabled one can do the following:

1. Check the configuration on the device to verify the status of the
   HTTPS service. 
2. Try to connect to the device using a standard web browser that
   supports SSL using a URL similar to https://ip_address_of_device/. 
3. Try and connect to the default HTTPS port, TCP 443, using Telnet. 
   telnet ip_address_of_device 443. If the session connects the service
   is enabled and accessible. This

crash on many Cisco products would cause the device to reload.

A third vulnerability described in the NISCC advisory is a bug in older versions of OpenSSL, versions before 0.9.6d, that can also lead to a Denial of Service attack. None of the Cisco OpenSSL implementations are known to be affected by this older OpenSSL issue.

 * Cisco IOS - All 12.1(11)E and later IOS software crypto (56i and k2)
   image releases in the 12.1E release train for the Cisco 7100 and 7200
   Series Routers are affected by this vulnerability. All IOS software
   crypto (k8, k9, and k91) image releases in the 12.2SY release train
   for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series and Cisco 7600 Series Routers are
   affected by this vulnerability. The SSH implementation in IOS is not
   dependent on any OpenSSL code. SSH implementations in IOS do not
   handle certificates, yet, and therefore do not use any SSL code for
   SSH. OpenSSL in 12.1E and 12.2SY release trains is only used for
   providing the HTTPS and VPN Device Manager (VDM) services. This
   vulnerability is documented in the Cisco Bug Toolkit (registered
   customers only) as Bug ID CSCee00041. The HTTPS web service, that uses
   the OpenSSL code, on the device is disabled by default. The no ip http
   secure-server command may be used to disable the HTTPS web service on
   the device, if required. The SSH and IPSec services in IOS are not
   vulnerable to this vulnerability. 
 * Cisco PIX Firewall - PIX 6.x releases are affected by this
   vulnerability. PIX 5.x releases do not contain any SSL code and are
   not vulnerable. This vulnerability is documented in the Cisco Bug
   Toolkit (registered customers only) as Bug ID CSCed90672. 
 * Cisco Firewall Services Module (FWSM) for the Cisco Catalyst 6500
   Series and Cisco 7600 Series routers - This vulnerability is
   documented in the Cisco Bug Toolkit (registered customers only) as Bug
   ID CSCee02055. 
 * Cisco MDS 9000 Series Multilayer Switches - This vulnerability is
   documented in the Cisco Bug Toolkit (registered customers only) as Bug
   ID CSCed96246. 
 * Cisco Content Service Switch (CSS) 11000 series - WebNS version 6.x
   and 7.x are affected by this vulnerability. This vulnerability is
   documented in the Cisco Bug Toolkit (registered customers only) as Bug
   ID CSCee01234 for SCM and is documented in the Cisco Bug Toolkit
   (registered customers only) as Bug ID CSCee01240 for the SSL module. 
 * Cisco Global Site Selector (GSS) 4480 - This vulnerability is
   documented in the Cisco Bug Toolkit (registered customers only) as Bug
   ID CSCee01057. 
 * CiscoWorks Common Services (CWCS) version 2.2 and CiscoWorks Common
   Management Foundation (CMF) version 2.1 - This vulnerability is
   documented in the Cisco Bug Toolkit (registered customers only) as Bug
   ID CSCsa13748. 
 * Cisco Access Registrar (CAR) - This vulnerability is documented in the
   Cisco Bug Toolkit (registered customers only) as Bug ID CSCee01956.
