K62442245:Kernel vulnerability CVE-2016-6828

Security Advisory

Original Publication Date: 21 Dec, 2016

Latest   Publication Date: 06 Mar, 2019

Security Advisory Description

The tcp_check_send_head function in include/net/tcp.h in the Linux kernel
before 4.7.5 does not properly maintain certain SACK state after a failed data
copy, which allows local users to cause a denial of service
(tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue use-after-free and system crash) via a crafted SACK
option. (CVE-2016-6828)

Impact

A local user may cause a denial-of-service (DoS) by way of a crafted SACK
option.

Security Advisory Status

F5 Product Development has assigned IDs 633655, 633656, and 624722 (BIG-IP), ID
633602 (BIG-IQ), ID 634365 (Enterprise Manager) and ID 634431 (F5 iWorkflow) to
this vulnerability. Additionally, BIG-IP iHealth may list Heuristic H635143 on
the Diagnostics > Identified > Medium screen.

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.

Mitigation

To mitigate this vulnerability, you should permit management access to F5
products only over a secure network and restrict command line access for
affected systems to only trusted users. For more information, refer to K13309:
Restricting access to the Configuration utility by source IP address (11.x -
14.x) and K13092: Overview of securing access to the BIG-IP system.
