-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 =========================================================================== AUSCERT External Security Bulletin Redistribution ESB-2009.1071.2 A Security Vulnerability in the Solaris IP Filter (ipf(5)) May Lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) Condition 21 July 2009 =========================================================================== AusCERT Security Bulletin Summary --------------------------------- Product: ipfilter Publisher: Sun Microsystems Operating System: Solaris OpenSolaris Impact/Access: Denial of Service -- Remote/Unauthenticated Resolution: Patch CVE Names: CVE-2009-2487 Original Bulletin: http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-66-260951-1 Revision History: July 21 2009: Added CVE reference July 17 2009: Initial Release - --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT-------------------- Solution Type Sun Alert Solution 260951 : A Security Vulnerability in the Solaris IP Filter (ipf(5)) May Lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) Condition Bug ID : 6681520 Product : Solaris 10 Operating System OpenSolaris Date of Resolved Release : 15-Jul-2009 SA Document Body A Security Vulnerability in the Solaris IP Filter (ipf(5)) May Lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) Condition 1. Impact A security vulnerability in the Solaris IP Filter (ipfilter(5)) may allow a local or remote unprivileged user to panic the system. This is a type of Denial of Service (DoS). 2. Contributing Factors This issue can occur in the following releases: SPARC Platform: * Solaris 10 with patch 125014-02 or later or with patch 120011-14 and without patch 141020-01 * OpenSolaris based upon builds snv_45 through snv_110 x86 Platform: * Solaris 10 with patch 125015-02 or later or with patch 120012-14 and without patch 141021-01 * OpenSolaris based upon builds snv_45 through snv_110 Notes: 1. Solaris 8 and 9 do not bundle ipfilter(5) and are not impacted by this issue. 2. Only OpenSolaris installations including the following binary are impacted by this issue: /usr/kernel/drv/ipf /usr/kernel/drv/amd64/ipf 3. OpenSolaris distributions may include additional bug fixes above and beyond the build from which it was derived. The base build can be derived as follows: $ uname -v snv_101 4. A system is only vulnerable to this issue, if it uses IP Filter (ipfilter(5)). To determine if a system is using IP Filter, the following command can be run: # svcs -xv ipfilter svc:/network/ipfilter:default (IP Filter) State: disabled since Fri Jun 05 10:26:13 2009 Reason: Disabled by an administrator. See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-05 See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 5 ipfilter See: /var/svc/log/network-ipfilter:default.log Impact: This service is not running. The above output indicates that ipfilter(5) is not running and the system is not vulnerable to this issue. 3. Symptoms If the described issue occurs, the system may panic with a stack trace similar to the following: ipf:frpr_icmp+0x150() ipf:frpr_ipv4hdr+0x174() ipf:fr_makefrip+0x5c() ipf:fr_check+0x1d8() ipf:ipf_hook+0xb4() ipf:ipf_hook_out() <...> 4. Workaround To work around this issue, disable ipfilter by using the following command: # svcadm disable ipfilter Note: Disabling the ipfilter(5) will deactivate all packet filtering rules configured on the system using ipf(1M). 5. Resolution This issue is addressed in the following releases: SPARC Platform: * Solaris 10 with patch 141020-01 or later * OpenSolaris based upon builds snv_111 or later x86 Platform: * Solaris 10 with patch 141021-01 or later * OpenSolaris based upon builds snv_111 or later For more information on Security Sun Alerts, see Technical Instruction ID 213557.
