FreeBSD-SA-00:23 Security Advisory
FreeBSD, Inc.

Topic: Remote denial-of-service in IP stack

Category: core
Module: kernel
Announced: 2000-06-19
Affects: FreeBSD systems prior to the correction date
Credits: NetBSD Security Advisory 2000-002, and
Jun-ichiro itojun Hagino <[email protected]>
Corrected: (Several bugs fixed, the date below is that of the most
recent fix)
2000-06-08 (3.4-STABLE)
2000-06-08 (4.0-STABLE)
2000-06-02 (5.0-CURRENT)
FreeBSD only: NO

I. Background

II. Problem Description

There are several bugs in the processing of IP options in the FreeBSD
IP stack, which fail to correctly bounds-check arguments and contain
other coding errors leading to the possibility of data corruption and
a kernel panic upon reception of certain invalid IP packets.

This set of bugs includes the instance of the vulnerability described
in NetBSD Security Advisory 2000-002 (see
ftp://ftp.NetBSD.ORG/pub/NetBSD/misc/security/advisories/NetBSD-SA2000-002.txt.asc&#41;
as well as other bugs with similar effect.

III. Impact

Remote users can cause a FreeBSD system to panic and reboot.

IV. Workaround

None available.

V. Solution

One of the following:

1) Upgrade your FreeBSD system to 3.4-STABLE, 4.0-STABLE or
5.0-CURRENT after the respective correction dates.

2) Apply the patch below and recompile your kernel.

Either save this advisory to a file, or download the patch and
detached PGP signature from the following locations, and verify the
signature using your PGP utility.

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/patches/SA-00:23/ip_options.diff.asc

cd /usr/src/sys/netinet

patch -p < /path/to/patch_or_advisory

[ Recompile your kernel as described in
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html and reboot the
system ]
