> [ Overview ]
>         Cisco Systems IOS contains a bug when parsing GRE packets
>         with GRE source routing information. A specially 
> crafter GRE packet
>         can cause the router to reuse packet packet data from 
> unrelated 
>         ring buffer memory. The resulting packet is 
> reinjected in the routing
>         queues.
> 
> [ Description ]
>         The GRE protocol according to RFC1701 supports source routing
>         different from the one known in IPv4. An optional 
> header is added to
>         the GRE header containing Source Route Entries for 
> further routing.
>         
>         GRE header:

> [ Notes ]
>         IOS implements GRE source routing as forwarding of 
> the inner IP
>         packet. Thus, a Source Route Entry of 255.255.255.255 
> will cause
>         IOS to resend the GRE packet to the specified address 
> according
>         to the routing table (all in this case) on the appropriate 
>         interface (all in this case).
>         The source address of the new packet will be the router's IP 
>         address, the destination address according to the 
> received packet.
>         This can be used to circumvent Access Control Lists with GRE.
> 
> [ Solution ]
>         Stop using GRE. There is no way in IOS to turn off 
> source routing
>         for GRE tunnels.
> 
>         To correct the parsing issue, try to install an IOS version
>         containing the fixes CSCuk27655 or CSCea22552 or CSCei62762.
