Cisco IOx Application Environment for IOS Software for Cisco Industrial Routers Multiple Vulnerabilities (cisco-sa-ios-iot-gos-vuln-s9qS8kYL)

high Nessus Plugin ID 139037

Synopsis

The remote device is missing a vendor-supplied security patch

Description

According to its self-reported version, Cisco IOS Software is affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the IOx application environment of Cisco 809 and 829 Industrial Integrated Services Routers (Industrial ISRs) and Cisco 1000 Series Connected Grid Routers (CGR1000). Attackers can exploit these in order to cause a DoS condition or execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges on an affected device, as follows:

- A local, low privileged attacker can execute arbitrary code in an affected system with high privileges due to incorrect bounds checking of certain type, length, value (TLV) fields of signaling packets that are exchanged between Cisco IOS Software and a Guest OS. This can be exploited by authenticating to the device by using low-privileged user credentials and then sending crafted packets, which when processed can create an exploitable buffer overflow condition. (CVE-2020-3257)

- An authenticated, adjacent attacker can cause a DoS condition due to a vulnerability in the ingress packet processing functionality of Cisco IOS Software due to insufficient isolation of an internal, emulated Ethernet interface. This can be exploited by sending malicious IP packets. (CVE-2020-3199)

Please see the included Cisco BIDs and Cisco Security Advisory for more information.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
