REVIEWING(1)  Christey<br>

Christey>  A Bugtraq posting indicates that the bug has to do with
"short packets with certain options set," so the description
should be modified accordingly.

But is this the same as CVE-1999-0052?  That one is related
to nestea (CVE-1999-0257) and probably the one described in
BUGTRAQ:19981023 nestea v2 against freebsd 3.0-Release
The patch for nestea is in ip_input.c around line 750.
The patches for CVE-1999-0001 are in lines 388&446.  So, 
CVE-1999-0001 is different from CVE-1999-0257 and CVE-1999-0052.
The FreeBSD patch for CVE-1999-0052 is in line 750.
So, CVE-1999-0257 and CVE-1999-0052 may be the same, though
CVE-1999-0052 should be RECAST since this bug affects Linux
and other OSes besides FreeBSD.<br>
Frech>  XF:teardrop(338)
This assignment was based solely on references to the CERT advisory.<br>
Christey>  The description for BID:190, which links to CVE-1999-0052 (a
FreeBSD advisory), notes that the patches provided by FreeBSD in
CERT:CA-1998-13 suggest a connection between CVE-1999-0001 and
CVE-1999-0052.  CERT:CA-1998-13 is too vague to be sure without
further analysis.<br>

Christey>  This should be split into three separate problems based on
the SNI advisory.  But there's newer information to further
complicate things.

What do we do about this one?  in 1997 or so, SNI did an
advisory on this problem.  In early 2000, it was still
discovered to be present in some Linux systems.  So an 
SF-DISCOVERY content decision might say that this is a
long enough time between the two, so this should be recorded
separately.  But they're the same codebase... so if we keep
them in the same entry, how do we make sure that this entry
reflects that some new information has been discovered?

The use of dot notation may help in this regard, to use one
dot for the original problem as discovered in 1997, and
another dot for the resurgence of the problem in 2000.<br>
Baker>  We should merge these.<br>
Christey>  Perhaps this should be NAI-19 instead of NAI-20?
The original Bugtraq post for the SNI advisory suggests SNI-19:

Christey>  DUPE CVE-1999-0418 and CVE-1999-0250?<br>
Christey>  Dan Bernstein, author of Qmail, says that this is not a
vulnerability in qmail because Unix has built-in resource
limits that can restrict the size of a qmail process; other
limits can be specified by the administrator.  See
http://cr.yp.to/qmail/venema.html

Significant discussion of this issue took place on the qmail
list.  The fundamental question appears to be whether 
application software should set its own limits, or rely
on limits set by the parent operating system (in this case,
UNIX).  Also, some people said that the only problem was that
the suggested configuration was not well documented, but this
was refuted by others.

See the following threads at
http://www.ornl.gov/its/archives/mailing-lists/qmail/1997/06/threads.html
"Denial of service (qmail-smtpd)"
"qmail-dos-2.c, another denial of service"
"[PATCH] denial of service"
"just another qmail denial-of-service"

http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/bugtraq/1998_3/0742.html<br>
Baker>  http://cr.yp.to/qmail/venema.html
Berstein rejects this as a vulnerability, claiming this is a slander campaign by Wietse Venema.
His page states this is not a qmail problem, rather it is a UNIX problem
that many apps can consume all available memory, and that the administrator
is responsible to set limits in the OS, rather than expect applications to
individually prevent memory exhaustion.  CAN 1999-0250 does appear to
be a duplicate of this entry, based on the research I have done so far.
There were two different bugtraq postings, but the second one references
the first, stating that the new exploit uses perl instead of shell scripting
to accomplish the same attack/exploit.<br>

an exploit that claims to do the same thing; however, that

a large number of RCPT commands.  It appears that super@ufo.org

assumption is vulnerable, i.e., implements the same vulnerability:
"Assumption that TCP-three-way handshake is complete after calling Linux
kernel function accept(), which returns socket after getting SYN.   Result
is process death by SIGPIPE"
Moreover, whether it results in DOS (to third parties) depends on the
process that made the assumption.

Christey>  Dan Bernstein, author of Qmail, says that this is not a
vulnerability in qmail because Unix has built-in resource
limits that can restrict the size of a qmail process; other
limits can be specified by the administrator.  See
http://cr.yp.to/qmail/venema.html

Significant discussion of this issue took place on the qmail
list.  The fundamental question appears to be whether 
application software should set its own limits, or rely
on limits set by the parent operating system (in this case,
UNIX).  Also, some people said that the only problem was that
the suggested configuration was not well documented, but this
was refuted by others.

The patch for nestea is in ip_input.c around line 750.
The patches for CVE-1999-0001 are in lines 388&446.  So, 
CVE-1999-0001 is different from CVE-1999-0257 and CVE-1999-0052.
The FreeBSD patch for CVE-1999-0052 is in line 750.
So, CVE-1999-0257 and CVE-1999-0052 may be the same, though
CVE-1999-0052 should be RECAST since this bug affects Linux
and other OSes besides FreeBSD.

Also see BUGTRAQ:19990909 CISCO and nestea.

NTBUGTRAQ:19990409 Webcom's CGI Guestbook for Win32 web servers
Mnemonix says that he had previously reported on a similar
problem.  Let's refer to the NTBugtraq posting as
CVE-1999-0467.  We will refer to the "previous report" as
CVE-1999-0287, which could be found at:
http://oliver.efri.hr/~crv/security/bugs/NT/httpd41.html

0287 describes an exploit via the "template" hidden variable.
The exploit describes manually editing the HTML form to
change the filename to read from the template variable.

The exploit as described in 0467 encodes the template variable
directly into the URL.  However, hidden variables are also
encoded into the URL, which would have looked the same to
the web server regardless of the exploit.  Therefore 0287
and 0467 are the same.<br>

is exploiting any different flaw than teardrop does.<br>
CHANGE>  [Christey changed vote from NOOP to REVIEWING]<br>
Baker>  Jolt (original) is basically just a fragmented oversized ICMP that
kills Win boxes ala Ping of Death.
Teardrop is altering the offset in fragmented tcp packets so that the
end of subsequent fragments is inside first packet...
Teardrop 2 is UDP packets, if I remember right.
Seems like Jolt (original, not jolt 2) is just exploit code that
creates a ping of death (CVE 1999-0128)<br>
Levy>  I tend to agree with Baker.<br>
CHANGE>  [Armstrong changed vote from REVIEWING to REJECT]<br>
Armstrong>  This code does not use fragment overlap.  It is simply a large ICMP echo request.<br>
Christey>  See the SCO advisory at:
http://www.securityfocus.com/templates/advisory.html?id=1411
which may further clarify the issue.<br>
LeBlanc>  This is a hodge-podge of DoS attacks. Jolt isn't the same
thing as ping of death - POD was an oversized ICMP packet, Jolt froze
Linux and Solaris (and I think not NT), IIRC Jolt2 did get NT boxes.
Teardrop and teardrop2 were related attacks (usually ICMP frag attacks),
but each of these is a distinct vulnerability, affected a discrete group
of systems, and should have distinct CVE numbers. CVE entries should be
precise as to what the problem is.<br>
Meunier>  I agree with Leblanc in that Jolt is multi-faceted.  Jolt has
characteristics of Ping of Death AND teardrop, but it doesn't do
either exactly.  Moreover, it sends a truncated IP fragment.  I
disagree with Armstrong; jolt uses overlapping fragments.  It's not a
simple ping of death either.  It may be that the author's intent was
to construct a "super attack" somehow combining elements of other
vulnerabilities to try to make it more potent.  In any case it
succeeded in confusing the CVE board :-).

I notice that Jolt uses echo replies (type 0) instead of echo
requests (to get past firewalls?).  Jolt is peculiar in that it also
sends numerous overlapping fragments.  The "Pascal Simulator" :-) says
it sends:

- 172 fragments of length 400 with offset starting at 5120 and<br>
increasing by about 47 (odd arithmetic of 5120 OR ((n* 380) >  > 3)),
which eventually results in sending fragments inside an already<br>
covered area once ((n* 380) >  > 3) is greater than 5120, which occurs
when n is reaches 108.  This would look a bit like TearDrop if
fragments were reassembled on-the-fly.

- 1 fragment such that the total length of all the fragments
is greater than 65535 (my calculation is 172*380 + 418 = 65778; the
comment about 65538 must be wrong).  The last packet is size 418
according to the IP header but the buffer is of size 400.  The sendto
takes as argument the size of the buffer so a truncated packet is
sent.

So, I am not sure if the problem is because the last packet
doesn't extend to the payload it says it has or because the total size
of all fragments is greater than 65535.  The author says it may take
more than one sending, so perhaps this has to do with an incorrect
error handling and recovery.  One would need to experiment and isolate
each of those characteristics and test them independently.  Inasmuch
as each of those things is likely a different vulnerability, then I
agree with Leblanc that this entry should be split.  I'll try that if
I ever get bored.  Jolt 2 should also have a different entry (see
below).

Jolt 2 runs in an infinite loop, sending the same fragmented
IP packet, which can pretend to be "ICMP" or "UDP" data; however this
is meaningless, as it's just a late fragment of an IP packet.  The
attack works only as long as packets are sent.  According to
http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/62170 the packets are
truncated, and would overflow over the 65535 byte limit, which is
similar to Jolt.  Note that Jolt does send that much data whereas
jolt2 doesn't.  Since jolt2 is simpler and narrower than jolt, and it
has weaker consequences, I believe that it's a different
vulnerability.

"Jolt 2 vulnerability causes a temporary denial-of-service in
Windows-type OSes" would be a title for it.<br>

Christey>  Is this the same as CVE-1999-0373?  They both have the same
X-Force reference.

BID:342 suggests that there are two.

http://www.debian.org/security/1999/19990215a suggests
that there are two.  However, CVE-1999-0373 is written up in
a fashion that is too general; and both XF:linux-super-bo and
XF:linux-super-logging-bo refer to CVE-1999-0373.
CVE-1999-0373 may need to be split.
<br>
Frech>  From what I can surmise, ISS released the original advisory (attached to
linux-super-bo), and Sekure SDI expanded on it by releasing another related
overflow in syslog (which is linux-super-logging-bo).

When I was originally assigning these issues, I placed both XF references
and the ISS advisory on the -0373 candidate, since there was nothing else
available. Based on the information above, I'd request that
XF:linux-super-logging-bo be removed from CVE-1999-0373.<br>
Christey>  Given Andre's feedback, these are different issues.
CVE-1999-0373 does not need to be split because the ISS
reference is sufficient to distinguish that CVE from this
candidate; however, the CVE-1999-0373 description should
probably be modified slightly.<br>

Christey>  Is CVE-1999-0389 a duplicate of CVE-1999-0798?  CVE-1999-0389
has January 1999 dates associated with it, while CVE-1999-0798
was reported in late December.

Also, is this the same line of code as CVE-1999-0914?  Both are in
the netstd package, it could look like a library problem.

However, deep in the changelog in the
netstd_3.07-7slink.3.diff on Debian, Herbert Xu includes
the following entry:

+netstd (3.07-7slink.1) frozen; urgency=high
+
+  * bootpd:     Applied patch from Redhat as well as a fix for the overflow in

Christey>  The fix information for BID:324 suggests that there are two
overflows, one of which is in handle_request (bootpd.c) and is
likely related to a file name; but there is another issue in
report (report.c) which also looks like a straightforward
overflow, which would suggest that this is not a duplicate of
CVE-1999-0798 or CVE-1999-0799.

candidate is not related to CVE-1999-0799.<br>
