Summary
An issue was discovered in the IPv6 protocol specification, related to ICMP Packet Too Big (PTB) messages. (The scope of this CVE is all affected IPv6 implementations from all vendors.) The security implications of IP fragmentation have been discussed at length in [RFC6274] and [RFC7739]. An attacker can leverage the generation of IPv6 atomic fragments to trigger the use of fragmentation in an arbitrary IPv6 flow (in scenarios in which actual fragmentation of packets is not needed) and can subsequently perform any type of fragmentation-based attack against legacy IPv6 nodes that do not implement [RFC6946]. That is, employing fragmentation where not actually needed allows for fragmentation-based attack vectors to be employed, unnecessarily. We note that, unfortunately, even nodes that already implement [RFC6946] can be subject to DoS attacks as a result of the generation of IPv6 atomic fragments. Let us assume that Host A is communicating with Host B and that, as a result of the widespread dropping of IPv6 packets that contain extension headers (including fragmentation) [RFC7872], some intermediate node filters fragments between Host B and Host A. If an attacker sends a forged ICMPv6 PTB error message to Host B, reporting an MTU smaller than 1280, this will trigger the generation of IPv6 atomic fragments from that moment on (as required by [RFC2460]). When Host B starts sending IPv6 atomic fragments (in response to the received ICMPv6 PTB error message), these packets will be dropped, since we previously noted that IPv6 packets with extension headers were being dropped between Host B and Host A. Thus, this situation will result in a DoS scenario. Another possible scenario is that in which two BGP peers are employing IPv6 transport and they implement Access Control Lists (ACLs) to drop IPv6 fragments (to avoid control-plane attacks). If the aforementioned BGP peers drop IPv6 fragments but still honor received ICMPv6 PTB error messages, an attacker could easily attack the corresponding peering session by simply sending an ICMPv6 PTB message with a reported MTU smaller than 1280 bytes. Once the attack packet has been sent, the aforementioned routers will themselves be the ones dropping their own traffic.

      "value": "Se descubri\u00f3 un problema en la especificaci\u00f3n de protocolo IPv6, relacionado con los mensajes ICMP Packet Too Big (PTB). (El alcance de esta CVE afecta a todas las implementaciones IPv6 de todos los vendedores.) Las implicaciones de seguridad de fragmentaci\u00f3n IP se han discutido extensamente en [RFC6274] y [RFC7739]. Un atacante puede aprovechar la generaci\u00f3n de fragmentos at\u00f3micos IPv6 para desencadenar el uso de fragmentaci\u00f3n en un flujo IPv6 arbitrariamente (en escenarios en los que no es necesaria la fragmentaci\u00f3n real de paquetes) y puede posteriormente realizar cualquier tipo de ataque basado en fragmentaci\u00f3n contra nodos IPv6 heredados que no implementan [RFC6946]. Es decir, empleando la fragmentaci\u00f3n donde no se necesita realmente permite emplear vectores de ataque basados en fragmentaci\u00f3n, innecesariamente. Observamos que, desafortunadamente, incluso los nodos que ya implementan [RFC6946] pueden estar sujetos a ataques DoS como resultado de la generaci\u00f3n de fragmentos at\u00f3micos IPv6. Vamos a asumir que el Host A se est\u00e1 comunicando con el Host B y que, como resultado de la ca\u00edda generalizada de paquetes IPv6 que contienen cabeceras de extensi\u00f3n (incluyendo la fragmentaci\u00f3n) [RFC7872], algunos nodos intermedios filtran fragmentos entre Host B y Host A. Si un atacante env\u00eda un mensaje de error falsificado ICMPv6 PTB al Host B, comunicando una MTU menor que 1280, esto desencadena la generaci\u00f3n de fragmentos at\u00f3micos IPv6 a partir de ese momento (como es requerido por [RFC2460]). Cuando el Host B comienza a enviar fragmentos at\u00f3micos IPv6 (en respuesta al mensaje de error ICMPv6 PTB recibido), este paquete ser\u00e1 perdido, ya que se anot\u00f3 anteriormente que los paquetes IPv6 con los encabezados de la extensi\u00f3n estaban siendo ca\u00eddos entre el Host B y el Host A. Por tanto, esta situaci\u00f3n resultar\u00e1 en un escenario DoS. Otro posible escenario es aquel en el que dos pares BGP est\u00e1n empleando transporte IPv6 e implementan Access Control List (ACLs) para perder fragmentos IPv6 (para evitar ataques de plano de control). Si los pares BGP mencionados borran fragmentos IPv6 pero a\u00fan as\u00ed cumplen con los mensajes de error ICMPv6 PTB recibidos, un atacante podr\u00eda atacar f\u00e1cilmente hurgando en la sesi\u00f3n correspondiente enviando simplemente un mensaje ICMPv6 PTB con una MTU reportada menor de 1280 bytes. Una vez que el paquete de ataque ha sido enviado, los routers citados ser\u00e1n ellos mismos los que caeran por su propio tr\u00e1fico."

Summary
IPv4-in-IPv6 and IPv6-in-IPv6 tunneling (RFC 2473) do not require the validation or verification of the source of a network packet, allowing an attacker to spoof and route arbitrary traffic via an exposed network interface. This is a similar issue to CVE-2020-10136.

Summary
An issue was discovered in the IPv6 protocol specification, related to ICMP Packet Too Big (PTB) messages. (The scope of this CVE is all affected IPv6 implementations from all vendors.) The security implications of IP fragmentation have been discussed at length in [RFC6274] and [RFC7739]. An attacker can leverage the generation of IPv6 atomic fragments to trigger the use of fragmentation in an arbitrary IPv6 flow (in scenarios in which actual fragmentation of packets is not needed) and can subsequently perform any type of fragmentation-based attack against legacy IPv6 nodes that do not implement [RFC6946]. That is, employing fragmentation where not actually needed allows for fragmentation-based attack vectors to be employed, unnecessarily. We note that, unfortunately, even nodes that already implement [RFC6946] can be subject to DoS attacks as a result of the generation of IPv6 atomic fragments. Let us assume that Host A is communicating with Host B and that, as a result of the widespread dropping of IPv6 packets that contain extension headers (including fragmentation) [RFC7872], some intermediate node filters fragments between Host B and Host A. If an attacker sends a forged ICMPv6 PTB error message to Host B, reporting an MTU smaller than 1280, this will trigger the generation of IPv6 atomic fragments from that moment on (as required by [RFC2460]). When Host B starts sending IPv6 atomic fragments (in response to the received ICMPv6 PTB error message), these packets will be dropped, since we previously noted that IPv6 packets with extension headers were being dropped between Host B and Host A. Thus, this situation will result in a DoS scenario. Another possible scenario is that in which two BGP peers are employing IPv6 transport and they implement Access Control Lists (ACLs) to drop IPv6 fragments (to avoid control-plane attacks). If the aforementioned BGP peers drop IPv6 fragments but still honor received ICMPv6 PTB error messages, an attacker could easily attack the corresponding peering session by simply sending an ICMPv6 PTB message with a reported MTU smaller than 1280 bytes. Once the attack packet has been sent, the aforementioned routers will themselves be the ones dropping their own traffic.

CWE
  • CWE-940 - Improper Verification of Source of a Communication Channel
Summary
IPv4-in-IPv6 and IPv6-in-IPv6 tunneling (RFC 2473) do not require the validation or verification of the source of a network packet, allowing an attacker to spoof and route arbitrary traffic via an exposed network interface. This is a similar issue to CVE-2020-10136.
