This action will recover any consumed IP addresses from the IP pool and prevent the vulnerability from being exploited until an upgrade can be performed. To mitigate this vulnerability, an administrator can remove the reconnect timeout command that is available under the crypto IKEv2 profile and reload the device. The only way to recover the IP pool involves a device reload. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

This advisory is part of the September 2021 release of the Cisco IOS and IOS XE Software Security Advisory Bundled Publication. This advisory is available at the following link:
A successful exploit could allow the attacker to exhaust the IP addresses from the assigned local pool, which prevents users from logging in and leads to a denial of service (DoS) condition.Ĭisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by trying to connect to the device with a non-An圜onnect client.
This vulnerability occurs because the code does not release the allocated IP address under certain failure conditions.

There is also a mitigation that addresses this vulnerability: To limit the attack surface of this vulnerability, ensure that access control lists are in place for NETCONF and RESTCONF to prevent attempted access from untrusted subnets.Ĭisco has released free software updates that address the critical vulnerabilities.
“A successful exploit could allow the attacker to use NETCONF or RESTCONF to install, manipulate, or delete the configuration of a network device or to corrupt memory on the device, resulting a DoS,” Cisco stated.Ĭisco said there is a workaround that addresses this vulnerability: Remove the enable password and configure an enable secret.
The vulnerability lets an attacker bypass NETCONF or RESTCONF authentication. The third critical warning also has a 9.8 CVSS rating and involves a weakness in the authentication, authorisation, and accounting (AAA) function of Cisco IOS XE Software that could let an attacker install, manipulate, or delete the configuration of an affected device and cause memory corruption that results in a DoS. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause a buffer overflow and possibly execute arbitrary commands with root-level privileges, or cause the device to reload, which could result in a DOS condition.” “An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted traffic to the device. “This vulnerability is due to insufficient bounds checking when an affected device processes traffic,” Cisco stated. The second critical warning - with a 9.8 CVSS rating - impacts Cisco IOS XE SD-WAN Software and could let an attacker set off a buffer overflow on a the SD-WAN device, Cisco said. CAPWAP is a networking protocol that lets users centrally manage wireless access points.Ī successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code with administrative privileges or cause the affected device to crash and reload, resulting in a DoS, Cisco stated. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted CAPWAP packet to an affected device. The vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with administrative privileges or cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device.
