A vulnerability in the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) processing functionality of the Cisco StarOS operating system for Cisco ASR 5000 Series Routers and Cisco Virtualized Packet Core (VPC) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the BGP process on an affected system to reload, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. This vulnerability affects the following products if they are running the Cisco StarOS operating system and BGP is enabled for the system: Cisco ASR 5000 Series Routers and Cisco Virtualized Packet Core Software. More Information: CSCvc44968. Known Affected Releases: 16.4.1 19.1.0 21.1.0 21.1.M0.65824. Known Fixed Releases: 21.3.A0.65902 21.2.A0.65905 21.1.b0.66164 21.1.V0.66014 21.1.R0.65898 21.1.M0.65894 21.1.0.66030 21.1.0.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2017-6729 can crash and restart the BGP process on affected Cisco StarOS systems, causing a denial of service. The issue only applies to Cisco ASR 5000 Series Routers and Cisco Virtualized Packet Core Software when BGP is enabled. Exposure is limited to Cisco ASR 5000 Series Routers and Cisco Virtualized Packet Core Software running Cisco StarOS with BGP enabled. Organizations without these platforms, or without BGP enabled on them, are not indicated as affected by the source bundle. Prioritize this where Cisco StarOS supports production routing or packet-core services. A successful attack could disrupt routing stability, but the available sources describe denial of service only, not data theft or system takeover. Mitigation focus: Identify affected Cisco StarOS deployments with BGP enabled.; Upgrade affected systems to a Cisco-listed fixed release where applicable.; Review Cisco advisory cisco-sa-20170705-staros for vendor-specific guidance..
