TITLE:
Cisco IPS Packet Handling Denial of Service Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA21029

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/21029/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
DoS

WHERE:
>From remote

OPERATING SYSTEM:
Cisco Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) 5.x
http://secunia.com/product/5600/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Cisco Intrusion Prevention
System (IPS), which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a
DoS (Denial of Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the custom device
driver for Intel-based gigabit network adapters when processing
certain malformed IP packets. This can be exploited to cause a DoS
via a specially crafted packet received on an Intel-based gigabit
network adapter configured as a sensing interface.

Successful exploitation causes the network device to stop processing
packets and become inaccessible both remotely and via the console.

The vulnerability affects 42xx appliances running IPS software
version 5.1 (see the vendor advisory for a full list of vulnerable
devices).

SOLUTION:
Update to version 5.1(2).
