Category:CISCO
Title:Cisco IOS Software Cluster Management Protocol Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Summary:A vulnerability in the Cisco Cluster Management Protocol (CMP) processing;code in Cisco IOS Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a reload of an affected;device or remotely execute code with elevated privileges.
Description:Summary:
A vulnerability in the Cisco Cluster Management Protocol (CMP) processing
code in Cisco IOS Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a reload of an affected
device or remotely execute code with elevated privileges.

Vulnerability Insight:
The Cluster Management Protocol utilizes Telnet internally as a signaling
and command protocol between cluster members. The vulnerability is due to the combination of two factors:

- The failure to restrict the use of CMP-specific Telnet options only to internal, local communications between
cluster members and instead accept and process such options over any Telnet connection to an affected device, and

- The incorrect processing of malformed CMP-specific Telnet options.

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending malformed CMP-specific Telnet options while establishing
a Telnet session with an affected Cisco device configured to accept Telnet connections.

Vulnerability Impact:
An exploit could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code and obtain full
control of the device or cause a reload of the affected device.

Solution:
See the referenced vendor advisory for a solution.

CVSS Score:
