CVE Names: CVE-2021-1501
CWEs: CWE-613
Summary
o A vulnerability in the SIP inspection engine of Cisco Adaptive Security
Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software
could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a crash and reload
of an affected device, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition.
The vulnerability is due to a crash that occurs during a hash lookup for a
SIP pinhole connection. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by
sending crafted SIP traffic through an affected device. A successful
exploit could allow the attacker to cause a crash and reload of the
affected device.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There
are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
This advisory is available at the following link:
https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-asa-ftd-sipdos-GGwmMerC
This advisory is part of the April 2021 Cisco ASA, FMC, and FTD Software
Security Advisory Bundled Publication. For a complete list of the
advisories and links to them, see Cisco Event Response: April 2021 Cisco
ASA, FMC, and FTD Software Security Advisory Bundled Publication .
Affected Products
o Vulnerable Products
This vulnerability affects Cisco products if they are running a vulnerable
release of Cisco ASA Software or FTD Software and have SIP inspection
configured.
For information about which Cisco software releases are vulnerable, see the
Fixed Software section of this advisory.
Determine the Device Configuration
To determine if SIP inspection is configured on Cisco ASA Software or FTD
Software, use the show service-policy | include sip command at the CLI. The
device is considered vulnerable if the output includes Inspect: sip , as
shown in this example:
device# show service-policy | include sip
Inspect: sip , packet 2, lock fail 0, drop 0, reset-drop 0, 5-min-pkt-rate 0 pkts/sec, v6-fail-close 0 sctp-drop-override 0
Note: SIP inspection is enabled by default on Cisco ASA Software and FTD
Software. For detailed information about the default settings for
application inspection policies, see the Cisco ASA Series Firewall CLI
Configuration Guide .
Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
Only products listed in the Vulnerable Products section of this advisory
are known to be affected by this vulnerability.
Cisco has confirmed that this vulnerability does not affect Cisco Firepower
Management Center (FMC) Software.
Workarounds
o There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability. However, there
are mitigation options that apply to both physical and virtual appliances.
Option 1: Disable SIP Inspection
Disabling SIP inspection will completely close the attack vector for this
vulnerability. However, this mitigation may not be suitable for all
customers. In particular, disabling SIP inspection would break SIP
connections if either Network Address Translation (NAT) is applied to SIP
traffic or if any ports that are required for SIP communication are not
opened through ACL.
To disable SIP inspection in Cisco ASA Software, use the following command:
policy-map
class inspection_default
no inspect sip
To disable SIP inspection in Cisco FTD Software, use the following command
in the CLI:
configure inspection sip disable
Option 2: Allow Only Trusted SIP Hosts Using ACLs
Use ACLs to limit SIP connection through the device to known, trusted SIP
hosts. For information on Cisco ASA and FTD ACL configuration, see Cisco
ASA Series Firewall CLI Configuration Guide: Access Control Lists .
While these mitigations have been deployed and were proven successful in a
test environment, customers should determine the applicability and
effectiveness in their own environment and under their own use conditions.
Customers should be aware that any workaround or mitigation that is
implemented may negatively impact the functionality or performance of their
network based on intrinsic customer deployment scenarios and limitations.
Customers should not deploy any workarounds or mitigations before first
evaluating the applicability to their own environment and any impact to
such environment.
Fixed Software
o Cisco has released free software updates that address the vulnerability
described in this advisory. Customers may only install and expect support
for software versions and feature sets for which they have purchased a
license. By installing, downloading, accessing, or otherwise using such
software upgrades, customers agree to follow the terms of the Cisco
software license:
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/end-user-license-agreement.html
Additionally, customers may only download software for which they have a
valid license, procured from Cisco directly, or through a Cisco authorized
reseller or partner. In most cases this will be a maintenance upgrade to
software that was previously purchased. Free security software updates do
not entitle customers to a new software license, additional software
feature sets, or major revision upgrades.
When considering software upgrades , customers are advised to regularly
consult the advisories for Cisco products, which are available from the
Cisco Security Advisories page , to determine exposure and a complete
upgrade solution.
In all cases, customers should ensure that the devices to be upgraded
contain sufficient memory and confirm that current hardware and software
configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release.
If the information is not clear, customers are advised to contact the Cisco
Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or their contracted maintenance
providers.
Customers Without Service Contracts
Customers who purchase directly from Cisco but do not hold a Cisco service
contract and customers who make purchases through third-party vendors but
are unsuccessful in obtaining fixed software through their point of sale
should obtain upgrades by contacting the Cisco TAC: https://www.cisco.com/c
/en/us/support/web/tsd-cisco-worldwide-contacts.html
Customers should have the product serial number available and be prepared

CVE Names: CVE-2021-1476
CWEs: CWE-78
Summary
o A vulnerability in the CLI of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA)
Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an
authenticated, local attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the
underlying operating system (OS) of an affected device.
The vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation of commands that
are supplied by the user. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by
authenticating to a device and submitting crafted input for specific
commands. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute commands
on the underlying OS with root privileges. To exploit this vulnerability,
an attacker must have valid administrator-level credentials.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There
are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
This advisory is available at the following link:
https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-asa-ftd-cmd-inj-SELprvG

not entitle customers to a new software license, additional software
feature sets, or major revision upgrades.
When considering software upgrades , customers are advised to regularly
consult the advisories for Cisco products, which are available from the
Cisco Security Advisories page , to determine exposure and a complete
upgrade solution.
In all cases, customers should ensure that the devices to be upgraded
contain sufficient memory and confirm that current hardware and software
configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release.
If the information is not clear, customers are advised to contact the Cisco
Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or their contracted maintenance
providers.
Customers Without Service Contracts
Customers who purchase directly from Cisco but do not hold a Cisco service
contract and customers who make purchases through third-party vendors but
are unsuccessful in obtaining fixed software through their point of sale
should obtain upgrades by contacting the Cisco TAC: https://www.cisco.com/c
/en/us/support/web/tsd-cisco-worldwide-contacts.html
Customers should have the product serial number available and be prepared
to provide the URL of this advisory as evidence of entitlement to a free
upgrade.
