Summary
======
Cisco IOS Software contains a vulnerability in multiple features
that could allow an attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS)
condition on the affected device. A sequence of specially crafted TCP
packets can cause the vulnerable device to reload.
Cisco has released free software updates that address this
vulnerability.
Several mitigation strategies are outlined in the workarounds section
of this advisory.

Affected Products
================
Vulnerable Products
+------------------
Devices running affected versions of Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS
XE Software are affected when configured to use any of the following
features within Cisco IOS:
* Airline Product Set (ALPS)
* Serial Tunnel Code (STUN) and Block Serial Tunnel Code (BSTUN)
* Native Client Interface Architecture support (NCIA)
* Data-link switching (DLSw)
* Remote Source-Route Bridging (RSRB)
* Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)
* X.25 for Record Boundary Preservation (RBP)
* X.25 over TCP (XOT)
* X.25 Routing
Information on how to determine whether an affected feature is
enabled on a device are provided in the Details section of this
advisory.
To determine the Cisco IOS Software release that is running on a
Cisco product, administrators can log in to the device and issue the
"show version" command to display the system banner. The system
banner confirms that the device is running Cisco IOS Software by
displaying text similar to "Cisco Internetwork Operating System
Software" or "Cisco IOS Software." The image name displays in
parentheses, followed by "Version" and the Cisco IOS Software release
name. Other Cisco devices do not have the "show version" command or
may provide different output.
The following example identifies a Cisco product that is running
Cisco IOS Software Release 12.3(26) with an installed image name of
C2500-IS-L:
Router#show version
Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software
IOS (tm) 2500 Software (C2500-IS-L), Version 12.3(26), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)
