Cisco IOS 12.3/12.4 Subsystem path traversal

CVSS Meta Temp Score
CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.
Current Exploit Price (≈)
Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.
CTI Interest Score
Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Cisco IOS 12.3/12.4 (Router Operating System). This affects an unknown part of the component Subsystem. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. This is going to have an impact on availability. The summary by CVE is:

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the (1) Mobile IP NAT Traversal feature and (2) Mobile IPv6 subsystem in Cisco IOS 12.3 through 12.4 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (input queue wedge and interface outage) via MIPv6 packets, aka Bug ID CSCsm97220.

The bug was discovered 03/25/2009. The weakness was shared 03/27/2009 (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at cisco.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2009-0633 since 02/18/2009. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not publicly available. The attack technique deployed by this issue is T1006 according to MITRE ATT&CK.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 49031 (Cisco IOS Software Mobile IP and Mobile IPv6 Vulnerabilities - Cisco Systems), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family CISCO and running in the context c. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 43159 (Cisco IOS Software Mobile IP and Mobile IPv6 Vulnerabilities (cisco-sa-20090325-mobileip)).

Applying a patch is able to eliminate this problem. A possible mitigation has been published even before and not after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (49424), Tenable (49031), SecurityFocus (BID 34241†), OSVDB (53129†) and Secunia (SA34438†).
