        "text": "A vulnerability in the RADIUS message processing feature of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the affected system to stop processing RADIUS packets.\r\n\r\nThis vulnerability is due to improper handling of certain RADIUS accounting requests. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted authentication request to a network access device (NAD) that uses Cisco ISE for authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA). This would eventually result in the NAD sending a RADIUS accounting request packet to Cisco ISE. An attacker could also exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted RADIUS accounting request packet to Cisco ISE directly if the RADIUS shared secret is known. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the RADIUS process to unexpectedly restart, resulting in authentication or authorization timeouts and denying legitimate users access to the network or service. Clients already authenticated to the network would not be affected.\r\n\r\nNote: To recover the ability to process RADIUS packets, a manual restart of the affected Policy Service Node (PSN) may be required. For more information, see the Details [\"#details\"] section of this advisory.\r\n\r\nCisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability.

The default RADIUS policies may need to be configured to deny access to all users and devices if Cisco ISE is being used for TACACS only.\r\n\r\nNote: For the exploit to be successful, attackers must have one of the following:\r\n\r\nValid user credentials\r\nA NAD shared secret that can be used to connect to Cisco ISE\r\nAccess to a NAD that connects to a Cisco ISE deployment and that is configured with MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) so that the authentication policy succeeds even if a user is not found\r\n\r\nDetermine PSN Configuration\r\n\r\nTo determine whether a node in the Cisco ISE deployment is a PSN, use the following steps:\r\n\r\nLog in to the Cisco ISE web-based management interface.\r\nClick the menu icon.\r\nChoose Administration \u003e System \u003e Deployment.\r\nLook at the Personas column in the table for the nodes in the deployment.

That node will need to be restarted.\r\nIn a multi-node deployment, only the affected PSN node will need to be restarted.\r\n\r\nFor more information on Cisco ISE personas, see the Cisco ISE Admin Guide [\"https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/ise/3-3/admin_guide/b_ise_admin_3_3/b_ISE_admin_33_deployment.html#typesofpersonas\"].\r\n\r\nNote:\r\n\r\nIf PSNs are behind a load balancer, the exploit traffic can cascade across to other PSNs.\r\nIf PSN node groups are configured, the exploit traffic will not cascade across to other PSNs.\r\n\r\nRestart Cisco ISE\r\n\r\nTo stop and then start a Cisco ISE node from the CLI, use the following steps. For more details on each command, see the Cisco ISE CLI Reference Guide [\"https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/ise/3-3/cli_guide/b_ise_CLI_Reference_Guide_33/b_ise_CLIReferenceGuide_33_chapter_01.html\"].\r\n\r\nNote: During the restart period, any devices already authenticated will still be connected to the network. New authentications will not be processed unless PSN failover is configured.\r\n\r\nLog in to the affected PSN through the CLI.\r\nIssue the command application stop ise and wait for the prompt to return output, as shown in the following example:\r\n\r\nise/admin# application stop ise\r\nStopping ISE Monitoring \u0026 Troubleshooting Log Processor...

To coordinate implementation of the mitigations, contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) [\"https://www.cisco.com/go/tac/\"].\r\n\r\nWhile these mitigations have been deployed and were proven successful in a test environment, customers should determine the applicability and effectiveness in their own environment and under their own use conditions.
