CVE-2018-0131: A vulnerability in the implementation of RSA-encrypted nonces in Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Softwa...

A vulnerability in the implementation of RSA-encrypted nonces in Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to obtain the encrypted nonces of an Internet Key Exchange Version 1 (IKEv1) session. The vulnerability exists because the affected software responds incorrectly to decryption failures. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability sending crafted ciphertexts to a device configured with IKEv1 that uses RSA-encrypted nonces. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to obtain the encrypted nonces. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCve77140.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects Cisco IOS and IOS XE devices using IKEv1 with RSA-encrypted nonces. A remote unauthenticated attacker may be able to make the device reveal encrypted nonce material from an IKEv1 session. The source bundle does not show public active exploitation or a severity score. Exposure is limited to Cisco IOS or IOS XE systems configured for IKEv1 using RSA-encrypted nonces. Devices not using that IKEv1 mode are not shown as exposed by the provided sources. Product versions are unspecified in the bundle, so asset-level confirmation requires Cisco advisory and device configuration review. Treat as a targeted network infrastructure risk. It is not confirmed as actively exploited in the provided sources, but unauthenticated remote reachability and VPN exposure justify timely inventory and remediation planning for affected Cisco deployments. Mitigation focus: Review Cisco advisory cisco-sa-20180813-rsa-nonce for affected releases and vendor fixes.; Inventory Cisco IOS and IOS XE devices using IKEv1 RSA-encrypted nonces.; Prioritize vendor-supported software updates for confirmed affected devices..

Inadequate Encryption Strength

Inadequate Encryption Strength represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
