Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Cisco IOS and IOS XE (Router Operating System) (the affected version unknown). It has been classified as problematic. Affected is an unknown part of the component Session Initiation Protocol. The manipulation as part of a SIP Message leads to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-476. A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit. This is going to have an impact on availability. CVE summarizes:

A vulnerability in the common Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) library of Cisco IOS and IOS XE Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to trigger a reload of an affected device, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability is due to insufficient sanity checks on an internal data structure. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a sequence of malicious SIP messages to an affected device. An exploit could allow the attacker to cause a NULL pointer dereference, resulting in a crash of the iosd process. This triggers a reload of the device.

The weakness was presented 09/25/2019 as cisco-sa-20190925-sip-dos as confirmed advisory (Website). The advisory is available at tools.cisco.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2019-12654 since 06/04/2019. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication.
