Summary
This advisory describes vulnerabilities that affect Cisco products and applications that are installed on Microsoft operating systems incorporating the use of the Server Message Block (SMB) file sharing protocol. It is based on the vulnerabilities in Microsoft's SMB protocol, not due to a defect of the Cisco product or application.
Vulnerabilities were discovered that enable an attacker to perform a
denial of service against the server and may allow execution of arbitrary code.
These vulnerabilities were publicly announced by Microsoft in their Microsoft
Security Bulletin
MS02-045
.
All Cisco products and applications that are using the Microsoft
operating systems identified by Microsoft in their Microsoft Security Bulletin
MS02-045
are considered vulnerable.
This advisory is available at http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20020918-smb-dos.

Details
The vulnerabilities have been described in more detail at
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS02-045.asp
.
Vulnerability Scoring Details
CVSS is a standards-based scoring method that conveys vulnerability severity and helps determine urgency and priority of response.
Cisco has provided a base and temporal score. Customers can then compute environmental scores to assist in determining the impact of the vulnerability in individual networks.
Cisco has provided an FAQ to answer additional questions regarding CVSS at
http://www.cisco.com/web/about/security/intelligence/cvss-qandas.html .
Cisco has also provided a CVSS calculator to help compute the environmental impact for individual networks at
http://intellishield.cisco.com/security/alertmanager/cvss .
Impact
Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities may cause the system to crash resulting in a loss of availability until the device has reinitialized.

Obtaining Fixed Software
Cisco has made free software available to address this vulnerability for affected customers. Prior to deploying software, customers should consult their maintenance provider or check the software for feature set compatibility and known issues specific to their environment.
Customers may only install and expect support for the feature sets they have purchased. By installing, downloading, accessing or otherwise using such software upgrades, customers agree to be bound by the terms of Cisco's software license terms found at http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-license-agreement.html, or as otherwise set forth at Cisco.com Downloads at http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/sw-usingswc.shtml.
Do not contact either "psirt@cisco.com" or "security-alert@cisco.com" for software upgrades.
Customers with Service Contracts
Customers with contracts should obtain upgraded software through their regular update channels. For most customers, this means that upgrades should be obtained through the Software Center on Cisco's worldwide website at http://www.cisco.com.
Customers Using Third-Party Support Organizations
Customers whose Cisco products are provided or maintained through prior or existing agreement with third-party support organizations such as Cisco Partners, authorized resellers, or service providers should contact that support organization for guidance and assistance with the appropriate course of action in regards to this advisory.
The effectiveness of any workaround or fix is dependent on specific customer situations such as product mix, network topology, traffic behavior, and organizational mission. Due to the variety of affected products and releases, customers should consult with their service provider or support organization to ensure any applied workaround or fix is the most appropriate for use in the intended network before it is deployed.
Customers Without Service Contracts
Customers who purchase direct from Cisco but who do not hold a Cisco service contract and customers who purchase through third-party vendors but are unsuccessful at obtaining fixed software through their point of sale should get their upgrades by contacting the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC). TAC contacts are as follows.
-
+1 800 553 2447 (toll free from within North America)
-
+1 408 526 7209 (toll call from anywhere in the world)
-
e-mail: tac@cisco.com
Have your product serial number available and give the URL of this notice as evidence of your entitlement to a free upgrade. Free upgrades for non-contract customers must be requested through the TAC.
Refer to http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml for additional TAC contact information, including special localized telephone numbers and instructions and e-mail addresses for use in various languages.
Exploitation and Public Announcements
