HPSBUX01137 SSRT5954 Revised - HP-UX TCP/IP Remote Denial of
Service (DoS)

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

Release Date: 2005-04-24
Last Updated: 2005-12-05

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.11.11, B.11.22, B.11.23.

BACKGROUND

To determine if an HP-UX system has an affected version,
search the output of "swlist -a revision -l fileset"
for one of the filesets listed below. For affected systems
verify that the recommended action has been taken.

AFFECTED VERSIONS

HP-UX B.11.11
=============
Networking.NET2-KRN
action: install PHNE_33159

HP-UX B.11.22

->action: install revision A.2.00.01 and TOUR 3.0

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. The Denial of Service (DoS) is characterized
by high cpu utilization and a lack of response on any I/O port
including the system console.

->Previous revisions of this Security Bulletin recommended
->setting ip_pmtu_strategy to 0 or 3 as a workaround. Patches
->or updates to resolve the issue are now available. After
->these patches or updates are installed the workaround will no

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 VU#532967, CAN-2004-0790, CAN-2004-0791,

BACKGROUND

As reported in NISCC VU#532967:
http://www.uniras.gov.uk/niscc/docs/al-20050412-00308.html?lang=en

END AFFECTED VERSIONS
RESOLUTION

HP has made the following patches, updates, and binary
files available to resolve the issue.

Patches are available for the core network product from
http://itrc.hp.com :

B.11.00 PHNE_33395 or subsequent

B.11.04 PHNE_33427 or subsequent

B.11.11 PHNE_33159 or subsequent

B.11.23 PHNE_32606 or subsequent


->TOUR revision 3.0 is available from:
->http://www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot

->Binary files are available for B.11.22. Please write to
->security-alert@hp.com for more information.

Optionally set ip_pmtu_strategy=0 to work around CAN-2004-1060.
However, this may not be necessary:

Although changes in the binary files and patches for CAN-2004-0790
and CAN-2004-0791 do not prevent the exploit of CAN-2004-1060,
they do make it less likely to succeed. The sequence number check
suggested in section 5.1 of 'ICMP attacks against TCP' has been
implemented. The Internet Draft of 'ICMP attacks against TCP' can
be found here:
http://www.gont.com.ar/drafts/icmp-attacks-against-tcp.html
Customers should consider whether this check reduces the risk of
the exploit to the point that setting ip_pmtu_strategy=0 is not
required.

Note: ip_pmtu_strategy=0 sets the PMTU to 576 bytes and clears the
"Don't Fragment" bit. This disables PMTU discovery. For IPv4 the
Next-Hop MTU may be as low as 68 bytes. Therefore setting
ip_pmtu_strategy=0 may cause performance to decrease.

To set 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

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

This value will take effect when the system is rebooted.
Until the system can be rebooted use the following command to read
the /etc/rc.config.d/nddconf file and set the tunable parameters:
/usr/bin/ndd -c

The ip_pmtu_strategy parameter can be displayed by the following
command:
/usr/bin/ndd -get /dev/ip ip_pmtu_strategy

Note: Since open connections will remain potentially vulnerable
until they are closed and certain internal data structures are
released it is recommended that the system be rebooted.

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


MANUAL ACTIONS: Yes - NonUpdate
Optionally set ip_pmtu_strategy=0

(ESP) Tunnel Mode Remote Unauthorized Disclosure of Encrypted Data

NOTICE: The information in this Security Bulletin should be acted

Release Date: 2005-12-01
Last Updated: 2005-12-05

Potential Security Impact: Remote unauthorized disclosure of
encrypted data

Source: Hewlett-Packard Company,
HP Software Security Response Team

VULNERABILITY SUMMARY

Potential security vulnerabilities have been identified for HP-UX
running IPSec using Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) in Tunnel
Mode without authentication. These vulnerabilities could be
exploited by a remote unauthorized user to intercept a portion of
the plain-text message.

References: NISCC VU#004033, CAN-2005-0039

SUPPORTED SOFTWARE VERSIONS*: ONLY impacted versions are listed.
HP-UX B.11.00, B.11.11, B.11.23 running IPSec

BACKGROUND

To determine if an HP-UX system has an affected version,
search the output of "swlist -a revision -l fileset"
for one of the filesets listed below. For affected systems
verify that the recommended action has been taken.

AFFECTED VERSIONS

HP-UX B.11.23
HP-UX B.11.11
HP-UX B.11.00
=============
IPSec.IPSEC2-KRN
action: configure ESP to use both encryption and authentication

END AFFECTED VERSIONS

RESOLUTION

The recommended resolution is to configure ESP to use both
encryption and authentication. "ECP-DES", ECP-3DES", and
"ECP-AES128" provide only encryption and should not be used. For
more information please refer to /usr/share/doc/ipsec.pdf.

Note: In HP-UX IPSec version A.2.01 the ipsec_config command no
longer allows the configuration of transforms for ESP without
authentication. Existing policies that use such transforms will
continue to work. However, these should be replaced with ESP
transforms that provide both encryption and authentication.
Please refer to the HP-UX IPSec version A.2.01 Release Notes for
further information.

MANUAL ACTIONS: Yes - NonUpdate
Configure ESP to use both encryption and authentication.
