Rapid7 Advisory R7-0017
TCPDUMP ISAKMP payload handling denial-of-service vulnerabilities

Published: March 30, 2004
Revision: 1.0
http://www.rapid7.com/advisories/R7-0017.html

CVE: CAN-2004-0183, CAN-2004-0184

1. Affected system(s):

   KNOWN VULNERABLE:
   o TCPDUMP v3.8.1 and earlier versions

2. Summary

   TCPDUMP v3.8.1 and earlier versions contain multiple flaws in the
   packet display functions for the ISAKMP protocol. Upon receiving
   specially crafted ISAKMP packets, TCPDUMP will try to read beyond
   the end of the packet capture buffer and crash.

3. Vendor status and information

   TCPDUMP
   http://www.tcpdump.org

   The vendor was notified and they have released an updated version
   of TCPDUMP, version 3.8.2, which fixes these defects. Subsequently,
   the version number was bumped to 3.8.3 to match libpcap.

4. Solution

   Upgrade to version 3.8.3 of TCPDUMP. You should also consider
   upgrading to version 0.8.3 of libpcap. Note that many vendors
   package their own customized version of TCPDUMP and libpcap with
   their operating system distribution. You may want to consider
   contacting your operating system vendor for an upgrade.

5. Detailed analysis

   To test the security and robustness of IPSEC implementations
   from multiple vendors, the security research team at Rapid7
   has designed the Striker ISAKMP Protocol Test Suite. Striker
   is an ISAKMP packet generation tool that automatically produces
   and sends invalid and/or atypical ISAKMP packets.

   This advisory is the second in a series of vulnerability
   disclosures discovered with the Striker test suite. Striker
   will be made available to qualified IPSEC vendors. Please
   email advisory rapid7 com for more information on obtaining
   Striker.

   There are two defects in the ISAKMP packet display functions in
   TCPDUMP. Both of them require that verbose packet display be
   enabled with the -v option. These defects result in out-of-bounds
   reads.

   Overflow in ISAKMP Delete payload with large number of SPI's
   CVE ID: CAN-2004-0183

   When displaying Delete payloads, TCPDUMP does not verify
   that (NSPIS * SPISIZE) fits within the snap buffer.

   An ISAKMP packet with a malformed Delete payload having
   a large self-reported number of SPI's will cause TCPDUMP
   to crash as it tries to read from beyond the end of the
   snap buffer.

   See section 3.15 of RFC 2408 for information on the
   Delete payload format.

   Integer underflow in ISAKMP Identification payload
   CVE ID: CAN-2004-0184

   An ISAKMP packet with a malformed Identification payload
   with a self-reported payload length that becomes less than
   8 when its byte order is reversed will cause TCPDUMP to
   crash as it tries to read from beyond the end of the
   snap buffer. TCPDUMP must be using a snaplen of 325 or
   greater for this underflow to be triggered.

   This is due to an inconsistency in the byte order conversion
   in the isakmp_id_print() function:

     if (sizeof(*p) < id.h.len)
        data = (u_char *)(p + 1);
     else 
        data = NULL;
     len = ntohs(id.h.len) - sizeof(*p);
   

   If id.h.len is equal to, say, 256 (and this fits within the snap
   buffer), then len will be equal to:

     ntohs(256) - sizeof(*p)
   

   which becomes a negative value on i386.
