        "text": "A vulnerability in the implementation of the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) feature of Cisco IOS XR Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) process to crash, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition.\r\n\r\nThis vulnerability is due to the incorrect handling of a specific RPKI to Router (RTR) Protocol packet header. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by compromising the RPKI validator server and sending a specifically crafted RTR packet to an affected device. Alternatively, the attacker could use man-in-the-middle techniques to impersonate the RPKI validator server and send a specifically crafted RTR response packet over the established RTR TCP connection to the affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause a DoS condition because the BGP process could constantly restart and BGP routing could become unstable.\r\n\r\nCisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThis advisory is part of the September 2021 release of the Cisco IOS XR Software Security Advisory Bundled Publication. For a complete list of the advisories and links to them, see Cisco Event Response: September 2021 Cisco IOS XR Software Security Advisory Bundled Publication [\"https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/viewErp.x?alertId=ERP-74637\"].",

If the rpki server command is displayed, as shown in the following example, the device could be vulnerable:\r\n\r\n\r\niosxr# show running-config router bgp\r\n.\r\n.\r\n.\r\n rpki server 192.168.1.100\r\n\r\nThen, to determine if there is an active RPKI server, issue the show bgp rpki server summary CLI command. If an RPKI server TCP connection is in ESTAB state, as shown in the following example, the device is affected by this vulnerability:\r\n\r\n\r\niosxr# show bgp rpki server summary\r\nWed Aug 13 13:25:04.368 utc\r\n  Hostname/Address        Transport       State           Time            ROAs (IPv4/IPv6)  10.112.255.14           TCP:323         CONNECT         00:00:06        N/A  2001:400:6:1::1         TCP:323         ESTAB           01:06:51        181152/30503\r\n\r\nNote: If the command does not return output, RPKI is not configured. However, if the command returns output but none of the RPKI servers have a connection in ESTAB state, the device could become vulnerable if the connection becomes established.",

If RPKI servers are either not in use or removed from the configuration, the device is considered not vulnerable. The decision to remove the RPKI configuration needs careful consideration.\r\n\r\nWhile this mitigation has been deployed and was proven successful in a test environment, customers should determine the applicability and effectiveness in their own environment and under their own use conditions. Customers should be aware that any workaround or mitigation that is implemented may negatively impact the functionality or performance of their network based on intrinsic customer deployment scenarios and limitations.
