tcpdump[v3.8.x/v3.9.1]: ISIS, BGP, and LDP infinite loop DOS exploits

Subject: tcpdump[v3.8.x/v3.9.1]: ISIS, BGP, and LDP infinite loop DOS exploits.
Date: 26 Apr 2005 10:00:57 -0000


(everything is now patched in CVS-current, including the ISIS bug)

infinite loop DOS bugs in tcpdump:
 (ISIS) isis_print() infinite loop DOS.
 (BGP) RT_ROUTING_INFO infinite loop DOS.
 (LDP) ldp_print() infinite loop DOS.

the ISIS bug is in 3.8.x/3.9.1/CVS. (did not check below 3.8.x)
the BGP and LDP bugs seem to be only in 3.8.x. (did not check below 3.8.x)

workaround:
 # tcpdump dst port not 179 and dst port not 646 and ip proto not gre
 (NOTE: this does not FULLY work-around the isis_print()
 bug, but it does work-around the provided DOS exploit)

 * Tcpdump is a program that allows you to dump the traffic on a  *
 * network. It can be used to print out the headers of packets on *
 * a network interface that matches a given expression. You can   *
 * use this tool to track down network problems, to detect "ping  *
 * attacks" or to monitor the network activities.                 *
 *                                                                *
 * tcpdump(v3.9.1 and earlier versions) contains a remote denial  *
 * of service vulnerability in the form of a single (GRE) packet  *
 * causing an infinite loop.  the packet doesnt actually have to  *
 * be an GRE packet, as the function is used in isoclns_print()   *
 * which is used many places by tcpdump, however i went with GRE  *
 * because it was the first one that popped up.                   *
 *                                                                *
 * as this bug doesn't appear to be fixed in the new(3.9.x/CVS)   *
 * versions i'll elaborate on the problem.  the bug lies in       *
 * isis_print()(called by isoclns_print()) in the                 *
 * TLV_ISNEIGH_VARLEN portion of the code, be providing a zero    *
 * length causing an infinite loop.                               *
 *                                                                *
 * some versions of tcpdump(depending on the platform/OS) need no *
 * special command-line arguments to allow this to happen,        *
 * however most need the "-v" argument.                           *

 * BGP is TCP, however the victim does not have to have the BGP   *
 * port(179) open to abuse the bug.  by sending a specially       *
 * crafted (spoofed) TCP(ACK,PUSH) packet to port 179 you can     *
 * trigger the infinite loop, however it depends on if the packet *
 * can make it out without being dropped.  in some situations the *
 * source host/ip used must be within your local subnet(or your   *
 * actual ip) for the (spoofed) packet to make it past your own   *
 * router.  if for some reason you think a (invalid) TCP(SYN)     *
 * packet is more likely to make it out, compile with the         *
 * -D_USE_SYN flag. (tcpdump will parse the BGP data even if it   *

 * fix:                                                           *
 *  this appears to have been fixed in the alpha 3.9.x / CVS      *
 *  versions.  although i found no direct mention of the issue    *
 *  itself being resolved, the code has been changed in a way to  *
 *  not allow this to happen.                                     *
 *                                                                *
 * Tcpdump is a program that allows you to dump the traffic on a  *
 * network. It can be used to print out the headers of packets on *
 * a network interface that matches a given expression. You can   *
 * use this tool to track down network problems, to detect "ping  *
 * attacks" or to monitor the network activities.                 *
 *                                                                *
 * tcpdump(v3.8.3 and earlier versions) contains a remote denial  *
 * of service vulnerability in the form of a single (LDP) packet  *
 * causing an infinite loop.                                      *
 *                                                                *
 * LDP is UDP(/TCP), so no LDP service has to actually be running *
 * to abuse this issue, spoofed or not spoofed.  depending on the *
 * path the packet takes spoofed packets may be dropped(dropped   *
 * at your router most likely), in such a case non-spoofed        *
 * packets have the same effect, they just show your ip.          *
 *                                                                *
 * some versions of tcpdump(depending on the platform/OS) need no *
 * special command-line arguments to allow this to happen,        *
 * however most need the "-v" argument.                           *
