CVE-2018-0476: Cisco IOS XE Software NAT Session Initiation Protocol Application Layer Gateway Denial of Service Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the Network Address Translation (NAT) Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Application Layer Gateway (ALG) of Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause an affected device to reload. The vulnerability is due to improper processing of SIP packets in transit while NAT is performed on an affected device. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted SIP packets via UDP port 5060 through an affected device that is performing NAT for SIP packets. A successful exploit could allow an attacker to cause the device to reload, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This Cisco IOS XE flaw can let a remote unauthenticated attacker crash and reload a device when it is performing NAT for SIP traffic. Business impact is availability: affected routers or gateways could interrupt voice or network services that depend on SIP traversal. Exposure is most likely on Cisco IOS XE devices that perform NAT for SIP traffic, especially where UDP port 5060 can traverse the device from untrusted networks. The provided sources do not identify affected release ranges. Treat this as a targeted availability risk for Cisco IOS XE devices handling SIP NAT. Prioritize exposed voice or edge gateways because a successful attack can force a reload, but avoid emergency assumptions without confirmed affected versions or exploitation evidence. Mitigation focus: Review Cisco's advisory for affected releases, fixed software, and official workarounds.; Inventory Cisco IOS XE devices performing NAT for SIP traffic.; Limit untrusted UDP 5060 traffic through NAT paths where operationally feasible..
