Infrastructure Access Control Lists (iACLs) are a network security best practice and should be considered as a long-term addition to good network security as well as a workaround for these specific vulnerabilities. The iACL example below should be included as part of the deployed infrastructure access-list which will protect all devices with IP addresses in the infrastructure IP address range: !--- !--- Only sections pertaining to features enabled on the device !--- need be configured. !--- !--- Feature: ALPS !--- access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 350 access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 10000 !--- !--- Deny ALPS TCP traffic from all other sources destined !--- to infrastructure addresses. !--- access-list 150 deny tcp any INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 350 access-list 150 deny tcp any INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 10000 !--- !--- Feature: STUN !--- access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 1994 access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD range 1990 1992 !--- !--- Deny STUN TCP traffic from all other sources destined !--- to infrastructure addresses. !--- access-list 150 deny tcp any INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 1994 access-list 150 deny tcp any INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD range 1990 1992 !--- !--- Feature: BSTUN !--- access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 1963 access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD range 1976 1979 !--- !--- Deny BSTUN TCP traffic from all other sources destined !--- to infrastructure addresses. !--- access-list 150 deny tcp any INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 1963 access-list 150 deny tcp any INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD range 1976 1979 !--- !--- Feature: NCIA !--- !--- !--- Leverage the underlying protocols, DLSw, RSRB, etc. !--- !--- !--- Feature: DLSW !--- access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 2065 access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 2067 access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD range 1981 1983 !--- !--- Deny DLSW TCP traffic from all other sources destined !--- to infrastructure addresses. !--- access-list 150 deny tcp any INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 2065 access-list 150 deny tcp any INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 2067 access-list 150 deny tcp any INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD range 1981 1983 !--- !--- Feature: RSRB !--- access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD range 1987 1989 access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 1996 !--- !--- Deny RSRB TCP traffic from all other sources destined !--- to infrastructure addresses. !--- access-list 150 deny tcp any INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD range 1987 1989 access-list 150 deny tcp any INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 1996 !--- !--- Feature: PPTP !--- access-list 150 permit tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 1723 !--- !--- Deny PPTP TCP traffic from all other sources destined !--- to infrastructure addresses. !--- access-list 150 deny tcp any INFRASTRUCTURE_ADDRESSES WILDCARD eq 1723 !--- !--- Feature: RBP !--- !--- RBP will listen for TCP connections on the configured port !--- as per "local port <port_number>".

This white paper can be obtained at the following link: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk361/technologies_white_paper09186a00801a1a55.shtml Receive ACLs (rACL) +------------------ For distributed platforms, Receive ACLs may be an option starting in Cisco IOS Software Versions 12.0(21)S2 for the 12000 (GSR), 12.0(24)S for the 7500, and 12.0(31)S for the 10720. The Receive ACL protects the device from harmful traffic before the traffic can impact the route processor. Receive ACLs are designed to only protect the device on which it is configured. On the 12000, 7500, and 10720, transit traffic is never affected by a receive ACL. Because of this, the destination IP address "any" used in the example ACL entries below only refer to the router's own physical or virtual IP addresses. Receive ACLs are considered a network security best practice, and should be considered as a long-term addition to good network security, as well as a workaround for this specific vulnerability.

Cisco IOS software releases 12.0S, 12.2SX, 12.2S, 12.3T, 12.4, and 12.4T support the CoPP feature. CoPP can be configured on a device to protect the management and control planes and minimize the risk and effectiveness of direct infrastructure attacks by explicitly permitting only authorized traffic that is sent to infrastructure devices in accordance with existing security policies and configurations. The CoPP example below should be included as part of the deployed CoPP that will protect all devices with IP addresses in the infrastructure IP address range. !--- !--- Only sections pertaining to features enabled on the device !--- need be configured. !--- !--- Feature: ALPS !--- access-list 150 deny tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD any eq 350 access-list 150 deny tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD any eq 10000 !--- !--- Permit ALPS traffic sent to all IP addresses !--- configured on all interfaces of the affected device so !--- that it will be policed and dropped by the CoPP feature !--- access-list 150 permit tcp any any eq 350 access-list 150 permit tcp any any eq 10000 !--- !--- Feature: STUN !--- access-list 150 deny tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD any eq 1994 access-list 150 deny tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD any range 1990 1992 !--- !--- Permit STUN traffic sent to all IP addresses !--- configured on all interfaces of the affected device so !--- that it will be policed and dropped by the CoPP feature !--- access-list 150 permit tcp any any eq 1994 access-list 150 permit tcp any any range 1990 1992 !--- !--- Feature: BSTUN !--- access-list 150 deny tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD any eq 1963 access-list 150 deny tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD any range 1976 1979 !--- !--- Permit BSTUN traffic sent to all IP addresses !--- configured on all interfaces of the affected device so !--- that it will be policed and dropped by the CoPP feature !--- access-list 150 permit tcp any any eq 1963 access-list 150 permit tcp any any range 1976 1979 !--- !--- Feature: NCIA !--- !--- Leverage the underlying protocols, DLSw, RSRB, etc. !--- !--- !--- Feature: DLSW !--- access-list 150 deny tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD any eq 2065 access-list 150 deny tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD any eq 2067 access-list 150 deny tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD any range 1981 1983 !--- !--- Permit DLSW traffic sent to all IP addresses !--- configured on all interfaces of the affected device so !--- that it will be policed and dropped by the CoPP feature !--- access-list 150 permit tcp any any eq 2065 access-list 150 permit tcp any any eq 2067 access-list 150 permit tcp any any range 1981 1983 !--- !--- Feature: RSRB !--- access-list 150 deny tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD any range 1987 1989 access-list 150 deny tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD any eq 1996 !--- !--- Permit RSRB traffic sent to all IP addresses !--- configured on all interfaces of the affected device so !--- that it will be policed and dropped by the CoPP feature !--- access-list 150 permit tcp any any range 1987 1989 access-list 150 permit tcp any any eq 1996 !--- !--- Feature: PPTP !--- access-list 150 deny tcp TRUSTED_HOSTS WILDCARD any eq 1723 !--- !--- Permit PPTP traffic sent to all IP addresses !--- configured on all interfaces of the affected device so !--- that it will be policed and dropped by the CoPP feature !--- access-list 150 permit tcp any any eq 1723 !--- !--- Feature: RBP !--- !--- RBP will listen for TCP connections on the configured port !--- as per "local port <port_number>".
