Caveats
Resolved Caveats—Cisco IOS Release 12.0(30)S1
These attacks, which only affect sessions terminating or originating on a device itself, can be of
three types:
1. Attacks that use ICMP “hard” error messages.
2. Attacks that use ICMP “fragmentation needed and Don’t Fragment (DF) bit set” messages, also
known as Path Maximum Transmission Unit Discovery (PMTUD) attacks.
3. Attacks that use ICMP “source quench” messages.
Successful attacks may cause connection resets or reduction of throughput in existing connections,
depending on the attack type.
Multiple Cisco products are affected by the attacks described in this Internet draft.
Cisco has made free software available to address these vulnerabilities. In some cases there are
workarounds available to mitigate the effects of the vulnerability.
This advisory is posted at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20050412-icmp.shtml.
The disclosure of these vulnerabilities is being coordinated by the National Infrastructure Security
Coordination Centre (NISCC), based in the United Kingdom. NISCC is working with multiple
vendors whose products are potentially affected.
• CSCef61721
Symptoms: CEF may not be updated correctly with a route change.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when IPv6 BGP is configured and when a route changes from
iBGP to eBGP or the other way around.
Workaround: Repopulate CEF with the correct forwarding information by entering the clear ipv6
route ipv6-address command.
• CSCef63272
Symptoms: A recursive static default route may not have an outgoing MPLS label, causing all
packets to be dropped.
Conditions: This symptom is observed on a Cisco router that runs Cisco IOS Release 12.3(9) but
may also occur in other releases.
Workaround: Add a nonrecursive static route to the BGP next-hop.
• CSCef67840
Symptoms: When the CEF table consistency checker is configured to perform a passive scan check
of tables of the line cards, the CEF table consistency checker may report false inconsistencies, which
you can view in the output of the show ip cef ip-address command. The false inconsistencies may
occur because of a race condition.
Conditions: This symptom is observed on a Cisco 12000 series that runs Cisco IOS
Release 12.0(27)S1.
If an inconsistency is reported for a recursive loadbalanced route for which the output interfaces for
the next-hop IP address differ between the RP and line card, you can ignore this inconsistency
because this information is not used during the forwarding process.
Workaround: Disable the CEF table consistency checker so that no passive scan check is performed
of tables of the line cards.
• CSCef70566
Symptoms: After you have configured an ACL on a router to deny a traffic stream, traffic is shaped
unexpectedly.
