Erik, Details of a new remote vulnerability that we have discovered in IOS will be released in a security advisory later today. We have also developed three shellcode techniques that could be used as the payload to an IOS exploit and result in remote administrative access to the router - the videos demonstrating these are on our website (www.irmplc.com) Andy -----Original Message----- From: Erik Kamerling [mailto:ekamerling () securityfocus com] Sent: 10 October 2007 13:26 To: Andy Davis Subject: Re: [Full-disclosure] IRM Demonstrates Multiple Cisco IOS Exploitation Techniques Hi Andy, My name is Erik Kamerling. I am documenting these issues right now and I have a question regarding your FD post. Not to repeat verbatim what you just said..., but you guys have a remotely exploitable IOS vulnerability? Thanks for any clarification you can spare. Erik Andy Davis wrote:
There is also a fourth condition under which these payloads can be executed - a remotely exploitable IOS vulnerability...

IRM have produced videos demonstrating each of these payloads in action within a development environment. They can beviewed Cisco PSIRT is aware of the three videos IRM Plc. published on their web site at <http://www.irmplc.com/index.php/153-Embedded-Systems-Security>. Cisco and IRM agree that the videos do not demonstrate or represent a vulnerability in Cisco IOS. Specifically, the code to manipulate Cisco IOS could be inserted only under the following conditions: - Usage of the debugger functionality present in IOS - Having physical access to the device - Already logged in at the highest privilege level on the device. IRM approached Cisco PSIRT with this information prior to its public release and Cisco has confirmed the information provided is a proof-of-concept that third party code could be inserted under these specific conditions.
