CVE-2004-0375


TITLE

Vulnerabilities in multiple Symantec products

Trust: 0.8

sources: JVNDB: JVNDB-2004-000859

DESCRIPTION

SYMNDIS.SYS in Symantec Norton Internet Security 2003 and 2004, Norton Personal Firewall 2003 and 2004, Client Firewall 5.01 and 5.1.1, and Client Security 1.0 and 1.1 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a TCP packet with (1) SACK option or (2) Alternate Checksum Data option followed by a length of zero. The issue is reported to present itself in the TCP packet processing routines of the affected software. It is reported that this vulnerability will have a system wide impact, causing Windows GUI and peripherals that are attached to the host to become unresponsive. A hard reset is reported to be required to restore normal functionality to the system. The information in this BID was consolidated from BID 10204 as both of these BIDs represented the same issue. BID 10204 is being retired. According to the report, this vulnerability cannot be exploited to execute arbitrary commands, and no detailed vulnerability details are currently available. The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to reliably render a system inoperative with one single packet. Physical access is required in order to bring an affected system out of this "frozen" state. This specific flaw exists within the component that performs low level processing of TCP packets. Technical Description: The vulnerability exists in SYMNDIS.SYS when trying to parse through the TCP Options in a TCP packet. The only way to bring the system back online is to hard boot the system which requires physical access of the system. The attacker only needs to send a single packet to any port on the system regardless of whether or not the port is open. This flaw is still accessible even if the firewall or IDS are enabled/disabled. Below is a portion of a TCP SYN packet (total length of 44 bytes) with a bad SACK TCP option. Sample Packet: 40 00 57 4B 00 00 01 01 05 00 |___| |___| |___| |_________| | | | | | | | TCP Options | | Urgent Pointer | Checksum Window Size The vulnerable code maintains an offset into the TCP option bytes, and attempts to advance past a variable-length option by adding its length to the offset. If the option's length field is zero, then this will result in an infinite loop and the machine halts completely. Protection: Retina Network Security Scanner has been updated to identify this vulnerability. Vendor Status: Symantec has released a patch for this vulnerability. The patch is available via the Symantec LiveUpdate service. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CAN-2004-0375.
