POTENTIAL SECURITY IMPACT:
Remote Denial of Service (DoS)

SOURCE:

HP Software Security Response Team

VULNERABILITY SUMMARY:
A potential security vulnerability has been identified with HP-UX
running TCP/IP. This vulnerability could be remotely exploited by
an unauthorized user to cause a Denial of Service(DoS).

REFERENCES:
NISCC 532967, CAN-2004-0790, CAN-2004-0791

SUPPORTED SOFTWARE VERSIONS*: ONLY impacted versions are listed.
HP-UX B.11.00, B.11.04, B.11.11, B.11.22, B.11.23
running TCP/IP.

BACKGROUND:

AFFECTED VERSIONS

HP-UX B.11.22
HP-UX B.11.04
HP-UX B.11.00
=============
action: set ip_pmtu_strategy = 0, block certain ICMP messages

HP-UX B.11.23
=============
Networking.NET2-KRN
action: install preliminary binary files

IPSec.IPSEC2-KRN
action: set ip_pmtu_strategy = 0

HP-UX B.11.11
=============
Networking.NET2-KRN
action: install preliminary binary files

IPSec.IPSEC2-KRN
action: set ip_pmtu_strategy = 0

END AFFECTED VERSIONS

RESOLUTION:
As reported in NISCC VU#532967
http://www.uniras.gov.uk/niscc/docs/al-20050412-00308.html?lang=en
ICMP messages may be used to attack TCP/IP connections.

Preliminary binary files are available for B.11.11 and B.11.23.
Instructions for downloading and installing the binary files are
given below.

Workarounds
========

Until patches are available the issue may be worked around by
filtering out certain ICMP messages and by ignoring the
"Fragmentation Needed and DF Bit Set" ICMP message.

The following ICMP messages could be filtered via filtering
technology such as firewalls or host based filters:

Protocol Unreachable
Port Unreachable
Source Quench

Note: Filtering "Protocol Unreachable" and "Port Unreachable"
should not be done without careful testing. Filtering these out
may interfere with the correct functioning of network components.
Filtering "Source Quench" should present little risk.


In addition the "Fragmentation Needed and DF Bit Set" ICMP message
can be ignored by setting ip_pmtu_strategy = 0 as follows:

Note: HPSBUX01137 recommends setting ip_pmtu_strategy = 0 or 3 as
a workaround. The current issue has a different root cause and
cannot be worked around with ip_pmtu_strategy = 3.


Setting ip_pmtu_strategy=0
==================
Edit /etc/rc.config.d/nddconf to add the following:

TRANSPORT_NAME[n]=ip
NDD_NAME[n]=ip_pmtu_strategy
NDD_VALUE[n]=0

This value will take effect when the system is rebooted.
Until the system can be rebooted the ip_pmtu_strategy value for
new connections can be set with the ndd(1M) command:

/usr/bin/ndd -set /dev/ip ip_pmtu_strategy 0

Note: There is a defect that will cause "ndd -c" to fail if there
are more than 10 directives in /etc/rc.config.d/nddconf. That
defect is fixed in the following patches:

B.11.11 - PHNE_25644 or subsequent
B.11.04 - PHNE_26076 or subsequent
B.11.00 - PHNE_26125 or subsequent


Preliminary binary files
==============

Preliminary binary files are available for B.11.11 and B.11.23.
Instructions for downloading and installing the binary files are
contained in readme files available here:

System: hprc.external.hp.com (192.170.19.51)
Login: icmp
Password: icmp

FTP Access: ftp://icmp:icmp@hprc.external.hp.com/
or: ftp://icmp:icmp@192.170.19.51/


Download the appropriate readme file containing further
instructions:

readme.11.11.txt
readme.11.23.txt

Verify the cksum or md5sum:

Download and install the binary files as discussed in the readme
files. The binary files are available in the same directory as
the readme files.


IPSec
====
Customers using the IPSec product may install the binary files for
B.11.11 and B.11.23 as mentioned above. However, that will not
resolve all the issues for IPSec. Until a binary file is
available for the IPSec product it will be necessary to use the
ip_pmtu_strategy = 0 workaround as discussed above.

In summary:
B.11.11,B.11.23 -- install binary files
B.11.11,B.11.23 plus IPSec -- install binary files and
set ip_pmtu_strategy = 0

MANUAL ACTIONS: Yes - NonUpdate

For B.11.00, B.11.04, and B.11.22:
Set ip_pmtu_strategy=0 and filter out the following ICMP messages:

Protocol Unreachable
Port Unreachable
Source Quench

For B.11.11 and B.11.23:
Apply the workaround above or install binary files.

For B.11.11 and B.11.23 IPSec:
In addition to installing binary files, set ip_pmtu_strategy=0.

SSRT5954 rev.1 - HP-UX TCP/IP Remote Denial of Service (DoS)

NOTICE:
There are no restrictions for distribution of this Security
Bulletin provided that it remains complete and intact.

The information in this Security Bulletin should be acted upon
as soon as possible.

INITIAL RELEASE:
25 May 2005

POTENTIAL SECURITY IMPACT:
Remote Denial of Service (DoS)

SOURCE:
Hewlett-Packard Company
HP Software Security Response Team

VULNERABILITY SUMMARY:
A potential security vulnerability has been identified with HP-UX
running TCP/IP (IPv4). This vulnerability could be remotely
exploited by an unauthorized user to cause a Denial of Service
(DoS).

REFERENCES:
CAN-2005-1192

SUPPORTED SOFTWARE VERSIONS*: ONLY impacted versions are listed.
HP-UX B.11.00, B.11.04, B.11.11, B.11.22, B.11.23 running
TCP/IP (IPv4).

BACKGROUND:

AFFECTED VERSIONS

HP-UX B.11.22
HP-UX B.11.04
HP-UX B.11.00
=============
action: set ip_pmtu_strategy = 0 or 3

HP-UX B.11.23

->action: install preliminary binary files per HPSBUX01164

END AFFECTED VERSIONS


Certain network traffic can result in a Denial of Service (DoS)
for HP-UX systems running TCP/IP (IPv4). Receiving a certain
packet on any open TCP/IP connection can result in a Denial of
Service (DoS) condition which can only be corrected by a reboot
of the affected system.

Until patches are available to resolve the issue the Denial of
Service (DoS) can be avoided by setting the ip_pmtu_strategy
parameter to either 0 or 3.

Discussion of ip_pmtu_strategy
----------------------------------

The default value for ip_pmtu_strategy is 1. This allows for PMTU
discovery. Once the issue of this Security Bulletin has been
resolved via patches the ip_pmtu_strategy value of 1 will again be
the preferred setting for most situations.

The ip_pmtu_strategy values of 0 and 3 set the PMTU to a fixed
size for destinations which are not on the local network.

The ip_pmtu_strategy value of 0 sets the PMTU to 576 bytes.
Routers are required to handle packets of at least this size.

The ip_pmtu_strategy value of 3 sets the PMTU to 1500 bytes. This
will generally result in more efficient transmission than the 576
byte PMTU. If it is known that the routers involved can handle a
1500 byte MTU the ip_pmtu_strategy value of 3 is preferred.

Patch requirements for setting ip_pmtu_strategy to 3
----------------------------------------------------------

All affected HP-UX versions allow setting ip_pmtu_strategy to 0.

B.11.22 and B.11.23 have no patch requirements for
setting ip_pmtu_strategy to 3.

B.11.11, B.11.04, and B.11.00 require the following patches in
order to set ip_pmtu_strategy to 3:

B.11.11 - PHNE_25642 or subsequent
B.11.04 - PHNE_26101 or subsequent
B.11.00 - PHNE_25423 or subsequent

Reboot requirement for setting ip_pmtu_strategy
------------------------------------------------------

The ip_pmtu_strategy parameter can be set via the ndd(1M) command
or by changing the nddconf file and rebooting the system. The
ndd(1M) command only affects new connections. Existing
connections will remain vulnerable until they terminate or until
the system is rebooted and the nddconf value of ip_pmtu_strategy
takes effect.

Note:
It has been recommended in several places including HP-UX
Bastille, System Health Check, and the Security Bulletin
HPSBUX0001-110 that ip_pmtu_strategy be set to 1. This
recommendation was made to avoid issues with which
occurred when ip_pmtu_strategy was set to 2. The value 1
was recommended because it is the system default and
for most situations results in the best performance. However,
the values 0 and 3 also avoid the issues which occurred when
ip_pmtu_strategy was set to 2. As mentioned above once the
issue of this Security Bulletin has been resolved via patches the
ip_pmtu_strategy setting of 1 will again be the preferred setting
for most situations.

Note:
There is a defect that will cause "ndd -c" to fail if there are
more than 10 directives in /etc/rc.config.d/nddconf. That defect
is fixed in the following patches:

B.11.11 - PHNE_25644 or subsequent
B.11.04 - PHNE_26076 or subsequent
B.11.00 - PHNE_26125 or subsequent
RESOLUTION:

Until patches are available the Denial of Service (DoS) can be
avoided by setting the ip_pmtu_strategy parameter to 0 or 3.

->Note: The preliminary binary files cited in HPSBUX01164 for
B.11.11 and B.11.23 will resolve the issue of this
Security Bulletin as well.

If the ip_pmtu_strategy value of 3 is desired for B.11.11, B11.04,
or B.11.00 apply the patches listed in the Background section.

Edit /etc/rc.config.d/nddconf to add the following:

TRANSPORT_NAME[n]=ip
NDD_NAME[n]=ip_pmtu_strategy
NDD_VALUE[n]=0

or

TRANSPORT_NAME[n]=ip
NDD_NAME[n]=ip_pmtu_strategy
NDD_VALUE[n]=3

where 'n' is the next available index value as described in the
nddconf comments.

As discussed in the Background section the system must be rebooted
for the new ip_pmtu_strategy to take effect.

Until the system can be rebooted the ip_pmtu_strategy value for
new connections can be set with the ndd(1M) command:

/usr/bin/ndd -set /dev/ip ip_pmtu_strategy 0

or

/usr/bin/ndd -set /dev/ip ip_pmtu_strategy 3
MANUAL ACTIONS: Yes - NonUpdate
set ip_pmtu_strategy = 0 or 3

->For B.11.11 and B.11.23 the binary files cited in the
HPSBUX01164 Security Bulletin will resolve the issue of this
Security Bulletin as well.

BULLETIN REVISION HISTORY:
Revision 0: 24 April 2005
Initial release

Revision 1: 25 May 2005
The binary files of HPSBUX01164 will resolve the issue for
B.11.11 and B.11.23.
