K57211290:IPv6 fragmentation vulnerability CVE-2016-10142

Security Advisory

Original Publication Date: 13 Jul, 2017

Latest   Publication Date: 13 Mar, 2019

Security Advisory Description

An issue was discovered in the IPv6 protocol specification, related to ICMP
Packet Too Big (PTB) messages. (The scope of this CVE is all affected IPv6
implementations from all vendors.) The security implications of IP
fragmentation have been discussed at length in [RFC6274] and [RFC7739]. An
attacker can leverage the generation of IPv6 atomic fragments to trigger the
use of fragmentation in an arbitrary IPv6 flow (in scenarios in which actual
fragmentation of packets is not needed) and can subsequently perform any type
of fragmentation-based attack against legacy IPv6 nodes that do not implement
[RFC6946]. That is, employing fragmentation where not actually needed allows
for fragmentation-based attack vectors to be employed, unnecessarily. We note
that, unfortunately, even nodes that already implement [RFC6946] can be subject
to DoS attacks as a result of the generation of IPv6 atomic fragments. Let us
assume that Host A is communicating with Host B and that, as a result of the
widespread dropping of IPv6 packets that contain extension headers (including
fragmentation) [RFC7872], some intermediate node filters fragments between Host
B and Host A. If an attacker sends a forged ICMPv6 PTB error message to Host B,
reporting an MTU smaller than 1280, this will trigger the generation of IPv6
atomic fragments from that moment on (as required by [RFC2460]). When Host B
starts sending IPv6 atomic fragments (in response to the received ICMPv6 PTB
error message), these packets will be dropped, since we previously noted that
IPv6 packets with extension headers were being dropped between Host B and Host
A. Thus, this situation will result in a DoS scenario. Another possible
scenario is that in which two BGP peers are employing IPv6 transport and they
implement Access Control Lists (ACLs) to drop IPv6 fragments (to avoid
control-plane attacks). If the aforementioned BGP peers drop IPv6 fragments but
still honor received ICMPv6 PTB error messages, an attacker could easily attack
the corresponding peering session by simply sending an ICMPv6 PTB message with
a reported MTU smaller than 1280 bytes. Once the attack packet has been sent,
the aforementioned routers will themselves be the ones dropping their own
traffic. (CVE-2016-10142)

Impact

A remote attacker may be able to cause a denial of service (DoS) by sending
crafted IPv6 packets.

Security Advisory Status

F5 Product Development has assigned IDs 652516 (BIG-IP - control plane) and
671813 (BIG-IP - data plane), ID 669855 (BIG-IQ), ID 673039 (F5 iWorkflow), and
ID 669854 (Enterprise Manager) to this vulnerability. Additionally, BIG-IP
iHealth may list Heuristic H57211290-1 and H57211290-2 on the Diagnostics >
Identified > High page.

Security Advisory Recommended Actions

If you are running a version listed in the Versions known to be vulnerable
column, you can eliminate this vulnerability by upgrading to a version listed
in the Versions known to be not vulnerable column. If the table lists only an
older version than what you are currently running, or does not list a
non-vulnerable version, then no upgrade candidate currently exists.

To determine the necessary upgrade path for your BIG-IQ system, you should
understand the BIG-IQ product offering name changes. For more information,
refer to K21232150: Considerations for upgrading BIG-IQ or F5 iWorkflow systems
.
