Cisco Advisory IV :Cisco IOS MPLS VPN May Leak Information

Summary

Devices running Cisco IOS versions 12.0S, 12.2, 12.3 or 12.4 and configured for Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) or VPN Routing and Forwarding Lite (VRF Lite) and using Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) between Customer Edge (CE) and Provider Edge (PE) devices may permit information to propagate between VPNs.

Workarounds are available to help mitigate this vulnerability.

This issue is triggered by a logic error when processing extended communities on the PE device.

This issue cannot be deterministically exploited by an attacker.

Cisco has released free software updates that address these vulnerabilities. Workarounds that mitigate these vulnerabilities are available.
