Citrix Security Advisory for TCP/IP Reassembly Resource Exhaustion

Security Bulletin | Medium 
Created: 08 Aug 2018 | Modified: 16 Aug 2018

Description of Problem

Several vulnerabilities in TCP/IP reassembly commonly known as SegmentSmack
and FragmentSmack have recently been disclosed. SegmentSmack is CVE-2018-5390
for Linux and CVE-2018-6922 for FreeBSD.  FragmentSmack is CVE-2018-5391 for
Linux and CVE-2018-6923 for FreeBSD.  These vulnerabilities could potentially
allow an attacker that has the ability to maintain a TCP or IP stream with a
vulnerable component to send crafted packets that cause high CPU usage or CPU
resource exhaustion leading to denial of service.

Vulnerable reassembly is provided by some Linux-based or FreeBSD-based
operating systems. Customers managing Linux or FreeBSD platforms on which
Citrix components are deployed are advised to apply any appropriate operating
system updates.

The following sections provide guidance on the impact and mitigation steps for
Linux-based and FreeBSD-based Citrix products. Citrix products that do not
include or execute on these platforms are not impacted by this vulnerability.

Windows-based components of XenDesktop and XenApp are not impacted by this
issue.
