Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical was found in Cisco NX-OS up to 6.0(x) (Router Operating System). This vulnerability affects some unknown functionality of the component SNMP. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Buffer overflow in the SNMP implementation in Cisco NX-OS on Nexus 7000 devices 4.x and 5.x before 5.2(5) and 6.x before 6.1(1) and MDS 9000 devices 4.x and 5.x before 5.2(5) allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a crafted SNMP request, aka Bug ID CSCtx54822.

The weakness was disclosed 04/24/2013 with Cisco as cisco-sa-20130424-nxosmulti as confirmed advisory (Website). The advisory is available at tools.cisco.com. The public release has been coordinated in cooperation with the vendor. This vulnerability was named CVE-2013-1180 since 01/11/2013. The attack can be initiated remotely. A single authentication is required for exploitation. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 66700 (Multiple Vulnerabilities in Cisco NX-OS-Based Products (cisco-sa-20130424-nxosmulti)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family CISCO. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 316421 (Multiple Vulnerabilities in Cisco NX-OS-Based Products (cisco-sa-20130424-nxosmulti)-(CVE-2013-1180)).

Upgrading to version 5.2(5) or 6.1(1) eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability. SNMP is disabled by default.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (83779), Tenable (66700), SecurityFocus (BID 59456†), OSVDB (92768†) and Secunia (SA53189†).
