Rule:
alert udp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HOME_NET 500 (msg:"DOS ISAKMP invalid
identification payload attempt"; content:"|05|"; offset:16; depth:1;
byte_test:2,>,4,30; byte_test:2,<,8,30; reference:bugtraq,10004;
classtype:attempted-dos; sid:2486; rev:1;)
--
Sid:
2486
--
Summary:
This event is generated when an attempt is made to exploit a denial of service
(DoS) associated with tcpdump decoding of an isakmp payload.
--
Impact:
A successful attack may cause a DoS of the host running tcpdump.
--
Detailed Information:
The tcpdump decode of an isakmp packet with an identification payload may be
susceptible to a DoS attack. This occurs because the code does not properly
convert the payload length field from network-to-host byte order. This may
cause tcpdump to crash when specific values are supplied to the payload length.
--
Affected Systems:
Hosts running tcpdump versions 3.8.1 and earlier
--
Attack Scenarios:
An attacker can create and send a malformed isakmp packet that may cause
a host running tcpdump and analyzing the packet to crash.
--
Ease of Attack:
Simple. Exploit code exists.
--
False Positives:
None known.
--
False Negatives:
None known.
--
Corrective Action:
Upgrade to the latest non-affected version of the software.
