Cisco Ironport Appliances Sophos Anti-virus Vulnerabilities

Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20121108-sophos

Revision 1.0

For Public Release 2012 November 9 03:00  UTC (GMT)
- --

Summary
===

Cisco IronPort Email Security Appliances (ESA) and Cisco IronPort Web
Security Appliances (WSA) include versions of Sophos Anti-Virus that
contain multiple vulnerabilities that could allow an unauthenticated,
remote attacker to gain control of the system, escalate privileges, or
cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition. An attacker could exploit
these vulnerabilities by sending malformed files to an appliance that
is running Sophos Anti-Virus. The malformed files could cause the
Sophos antivirus engine to behave unexpectedly.

As updates that address these vulnerabilities become available from
Sophos, Cisco is working to qualify and automatically provision them
through the Cisco Ironport ESA and WSA platforms.

A workaround that mitigates these vulnerabilities is available. This
advisory is available at the following link:

Ali,

You said your box was at 60% CPU at peak. Although not great - I have seen
worse.
Have you even LOOKED at your process table to work out which process it is?
Are you seeing packet drops on interfaces? You are obviously using ACLs.
Why? Can't you just remove them?
Do you have other interfaces in the box other than the Gig ports on the
"supervisor"?
Why do you think you have problems - because it doesn't sound as if CPU is
your only issue.

No.

It's a 2mpps software-based box.  There's one processor.

[c-nsp] how ACLs affect the processing of a Cisco 7200 NPE-G2

2012-11-08 Thread Ali Sumsam
Hi All,
My question is how ACLs affect the processing of a Cisco 7200 NPE-G2.

1. Does it matter if I have a long list of ACL statements, or it is as
CPU-consuming as 1 statement?
2. Is CPU processing is on a per-interface basis. For example, if I have
one interface with ACL and another without ACL. Is it going to be the same
in terms of CPU utilization?

[c-nsp] NAT NVI traffic usage through SNMP?

2012-11-08 Thread Gauthier DOUCHET
Hello all,

I would like to be able to retrieve traffic usage of a NVI interface
through SNMP, does someone know if it's possible?

My config is quite simple, I'm using vrf (without mpls) and NVI for
vrf-to-internet.
I can determine the traffic usage for my links in vrf (through
subinterfaces) but at this moment, I don't know how are consuming these
links on Internet through NVI.

Thank you for your answers,

Regards,
Gauthier

Re: [c-nsp] Cisco ASA 5505 VPN setup

2012-11-08 Thread Ryan West
So you have a VPN tunnel connecting them and you want all traffic to go through 
the tunnel to get to the Internet?   I'm not following the part about removing 
the second link though, won't you still need that for the VPN?

2012-11-08 Thread daniel Bahamombe
Hello guys 
 
I have two sites remote from one another but all connected to the internet by 
two seperate ISP s using the Cisco ASA 5505 
 
I would want to set up a VPN tunnels bettwen the two sites and have internet 
access from a single site as compared of getting from two links all supplying 
internet  from seperate providers 
I do have static IPs on both ASAs facing the public internet 
Can anyone assist with the configuration  if its possible to set up this 
without ISP intervention

Absolutely, I was more intent on reporting my mileage as opposed to
anything else. Re-jigging the BGP was the only real option open to me. Our
main issues are the circa 4000 PPP session these each terminate, traffic
volume and the crazy ACLs. I'm just hoping the removal of a lot of the BGP
overhead means they don't completely melt every time a BGP update comes
in...

I should have said that the list was in order of priority.  If you can
remove customers and traffic, you can bring down the load without reducing
functionality.  Everything else involves a functionality / smartness
compromise.

But yeah, an npe-g2 has a limited amount of steam.  Once you've run out,
that's kinda it.

2012-11-08 Thread David Farrell
Only today I was taking Nick's approach to eeking out 2 x 7204s w/ G2s for
a few more weeks. I removed them from the DFZ and tore down around 120
direct peering BGP sessions. We now send them 8 prefixes each, including
default. TBH, this has had a negligible impact so I await the arrival of
ASR1ks to replace these. That's said, there are some intense ACLs on the
high traffic interfaces which could be rationalised somewhat. If there is
time I might have a bash at this.

Re: [c-nsp] Nexus 7K NX-OS Upgrade

2012-11-08 Thread Tim Stevenson

At 09:36 AM 11/8/2012, Antonio Soares mused:

Thanks Tim, I will follow that procedure, it's the one that makes perfect
sense.

The documentation should be more clear about this kind of situations, don't
you think ?

There are important things that are omitted between steps 10 and 11:



You mean specific to also upgrading the DRAM? 
This particular procedure is not intended to 
cover also upgrading DRAM at the same time, 
that's not really something we assume you're doing every time you upgrade.


BTW, Sukumar does make a good point about the 
install script - it will potentially make some 
changes to the config based on updated features, 
CoPP being a prominent example.


An alternative in your case would be to just 
power off, upgrade DRAM, reboot, and then install 
all. Clearly that involves 2 reboots with a single sup.

Ah. In that case, clearly, the box is going to go offline when you upgrade.
You might want to consider buying another sup.

IMO, there is no huge benefit in using the install all script in a single
sup system - in the end, all it will do for you is a little sanity checking
and maybe save you from fat fingering a bootstring.

In your situation, I would copy over the new images you want; manually
change the bootstrings & save to startup; power off the box, yank the sup &
add the DRAM; and then power it all back on.

Hi All,
One of our customer's border router which is G2 is having a lot of load on
it. We observe packet loss when throughput reaches to maximum.

Any suggestion how can we lower the load or increase the power of the
router. We need a temporary solution for a couple of weeks.

Besides, I think removing ACLs and limiting the traffic coming from
Aggregation(3560G) can help. Comments plz

I just have one SUP... You are talking about dual supervisors setup, right ?



Ah. In that case, clearly, the box is going to go 
offline when you upgrade. You might want to consider buying another sup.


IMO, there is no huge benefit in using the 
install all script in a single sup system - in 
the end, all it will do for you is a little 
sanity checking and maybe save you from fat fingering a bootstring.


In your situation, I would copy over the new 
images you want; manually change the bootstrings 
& save to startup; power off the box, yank the 
sup & add the DRAM; and then power it all back on.

Hi Antonio,

You should be able to do the memory-upgrade without rebooting the box.
I've never done it on my I own but I know a few which did without any

At 04:37 AM 11/8/2012, Antonio Soares mused:

Thanks, I don't know if you noticed but somewhere in the thread the bug was
mentioned and it is resolved in 5.1.5 and later.

Bug CSCtn61286 - Boot variables are not set up correctly on Sup-2 after ISSU

So in my case, it should not give me problems (5.2.3a to 5.2.7).

But since I also need to upgrade the SUP1 RAM from 4G to 8G, I have no other
option than doing the traditional upgrade. It's the only way to just send
the box down 1 time:



You should not need to take the box down to do a 
DRAM upgrade if you have 2 sups. Provided you're 
on 5.1 or later you don't need to upgrade the 
software/do an ISSU either. You will perform a 
stateful switchover from the active to the 
standby sup at one point in the process in order 
to upgrade the memory on the second sup.


The procedure is described in the user docs:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/hw/nexus7000/installation/guide/n7k_replacing.html#wp1272213

This procedure is completely unrelated to 
upgrading the software (provided you're already 
on/past the minimum release to support 8GB which is 5.1(1)).


I would point out that at Step 21, you need to 
make sure to wait for the newly inserted 8GB sup 
come fully online and enter hot standby mode 
before attempting to switchover/yank the other sup.


Tim



- update the boot variables
- power off and upgrade the RAM
- power on

The install all script has another limitation: it won't let us to reboot
when we chose to do it. This is what happened to me last time:

+
Switch will be reloaded for disruptive upgrade.
Do you want to continue with the installation (y/n)?  y

Install is in progress, please wait.

(..)

A few minutes later:

Finishing the upgrade, switch will reboot in 10 seconds.
+

I don't see how to upgrade the RAM and upgrade the NX-OS with the install
script in just one shot...

[c-nsp] route leaking from global to VRF on cisco 7401

2012-11-08 Thread Warwick Duncan
Hi

I'm having a problem leaking routes from the global routing table into a
VRF on a Cisco 7401 and I'd appreciate an opinion on whether my config
or the router is at fault.  The IOS image is c7400-jk9s-mz.124-21a.bin,
which is the most recent to which I have access.

Let's say my local router is 1.1.1.1, remote router is 1.2.2.2, my ASN
is 1 and upstream provider ASN is 9.  I want to distribute
10.0.0.0/0 for the MYVPN VRF between the two routers and Internet
breakout is via the remote router, but I want to import local peering
routes (let's say ASN 5) on the local router from the global routing
table into MYVPN.  There is source based VRF selection on the downstream
facing interface.

Before configuring route leaking, the relevant parts of the (sanitised)
config look like this:


ip vrf MYVPN
 rd 1:21003
 route-target export 1:21003
 route-target import 1:21003

 match ip address FROM-10-1-1-0
 set vrf MYVPN
!
route-map recv-from-peers permit 10
 set community 1:11050


At this point both the entries in the BGP RIB for MYVPN are as expected,
as is the VRF's routing table itself, i.e. it sees the remote VPN prefix
10.1.1.0/24 and the default route propagated from an eBGP peer:


router1#show ip bgp vpnv4 all 
BGP table version is 14, local router ID is 1.1.1.1
[..]
   Network  Next HopMetric LocPrf Weight Path
Route Distinguisher: 1:21003 (default for vrf MYVPN)
*>i0.0.0.0  2.2.2.2  0   2000  0 9 i
*>i10.2.2.0/24  2.2.2.2 10   1000  0 i
*> 10.1.1.0/24  192.168.0.1 10 32768 i

router1#show ip route vrf MYVPN

Routing Table: MYVPN
[..]
Gateway of last resort is 2.2.2.2 to network 0.0.0.0

B   10.2.2.0/24 [200/10] via 2.2.2.2, 11:31:20
C   192.168.0.8/29 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/0.2
S   10.1.1.0/24 [1/0] via 192.168.0.1
B*   0.0.0.0/0 [200/0] via 2.2.2.2, 11:31:20


So far so good; now I modify the config to import the peering routes
from the global routing table into the MYVPN VRF:

At this point, things fall apart.  The BGP RIB is correct but in my most

- all routes except the peering routes disappear from FIB;
- all routes except connected and static disappear from FIB;
- some VPN routes disappear from RIB.

(I hope I'm using RIB and FIB correctly...)

If I remove the 'import ipv4 ...' config item, the leaked peering routes
remain in the BGP RIB but disappear from the VRF FIB; clearing all BGP
neighbors causes no visible change.  Removing the VRF entirely leaves

Hi Antonio,

You should be able to do the memory-upgrade without rebooting the box.
I've never done it on my I own but I know a few which did without any
problem. I believe they first upgraded the memory and then did the update!

Yes it is. But you can still use the ISSU method of doing things (install all) 
with just one SUP. It doesn't make too much sense, right ?

Re: [c-nsp] Nexus 7K NX-OS Upgrade

2012-11-08 Thread Antonio Soares
Thanks, I don't know if you noticed but somewhere in the thread the bug was
mentioned and it is resolved in 5.1.5 and later.

Bug CSCtn61286 - Boot variables are not set up correctly on Sup-2 after ISSU

So in my case, it should not give me problems (5.2.3a to 5.2.7).

But since I also need to upgrade the SUP1 RAM from 4G to 8G, I have no other
option than doing the traditional upgrade. It's the only way to just send
the box down 1 time:

- update the boot variables
- power off and upgrade the RAM
- power on

The install all script has another limitation: it won't let us to reboot
when we chose to do it. This is what happened to me last time:

+
Switch will be reloaded for disruptive upgrade.
Do you want to continue with the installation (y/n)?  y
 
Install is in progress, please wait.
 
(….)
 
A few minutes later:
 
Finishing the upgrade, switch will reboot in 10 seconds.
+

I don't see how to upgrade the RAM and upgrade the NX-OS with the install
script in just one shot...

Remove:

- customers
- traffic
- ACLs
- uRPF
- Netflow
- policy routing
- full routing
- more customers

Re: [c-nsp] BGP NSR without SSO

2012-11-08 Thread zaid


Hi adam  

thanks for the response, but the bgp advertise-best-external can only work with 
VPNv4, VPNv6, IPv4 VRF, and IPv6 VRF address families. , and not all of the 
above is our scenario .

thanks

Hi Zaid,

> decrease the packet loss when link flapped without BGP sessions reset
You can use BFD with eBGP peers

Than you can use 

either:
address-family ipv4 vrf 1
  maximum-paths eibgp 8
  bgp advertise-best-external

or:
address-family ipv4 vrf 1
  bgp advertise-best-external
  bgp additional-paths install
  maximum-paths 8
  maximum-paths ibgp 8

Hi all 

How can deploy BGP NSR without SSO on 12000 XR or such mechanism to decrease
the packet loss when link flapped without BGP sessions reset ( ex: XR Router
multi homed with different ISP )

the packet loss happens on the other during the recalculation of the best
path.



thanks
