   REVIEWING(1) Christey

 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.
 Frech> XF:teardrop(338)
   This assignment was based solely on references to the CERT advisory.
 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.

   REVIEWING(1) Christey

 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.
 Baker> We should merge these.
 Christey> Perhaps this should be NAI-19 instead of NAI-20?
   The original Bugtraq post for the SNI advisory suggests SNI-19:
   BUGTRAQ:19971002 SNI-19:BSD lpd vulnerability
   URL:SNI-19:BSD lpd vulnerability
   
   Also add:
   BUGTRAQ:19971021 SNI-19: BSD lpd vulnerabilities (UPDATE)
   URL:http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bugtraq&m=87747479514310&w=2
   
   However, archives of "NAI-0020" point to the lpd vuln.
   
   If I recall correctly, some of the NAI advisory numbers got
   switched when NAI acquired SNI.

 Christey> DUPE CVE-1999-0418 and CVE-1999-0250?
 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"
   "the UNIX way"
   "Time for a reality check"
   
   Also see Bugtraq threads on a different vulnerability that
   is related to this topic:
   BUGTRAQ:19990903 Web servers / possible DOS Attack / mime header flooding
   http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/bugtraq/1998_3/0742.html
 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.

 Christey> qmail-dos-1.c, as published by Wietse Venema (CVE-1999-0250)
   in "BUGTRAQ:19970612 Denial of service (qmail-smtpd)", does not
   use any RCPT commands.  Instead, it sends long strings
   of "X" characters.  A followup by "super@UFO.ORG" includes
   an exploit that claims to do the same thing; however, that
   exploit does not send long strings of X characters - it sends
   a large number of RCPT commands.  It appears that super@ufo.org
   followed up to the wrong message.
   
   NOTE: the ufo.org domain was purchased by another party in
   2003, so the current owner is not associated with any
   statements by "super@ufo.org" that were made before 2003.

 Meunier> The location of the vulnerability, whether in the Linux kernel or the

   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.
   I think that the present entry should be split, one entry for every
   application that implements the vulnerability (really describing threat
   instances, which is what other people think about when we talk about

 Frech> XF:qmail-rcpt
 Christey> DUPE CVE-1999-0418 and CVE-1999-0144?
 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

 Baker> This appears to be the same vulnerability listed in CAN 1999-0144.  In reading

   based on a shell code exploit to cause memory exhaustion. The bugtraq
   posting referenced by this entry refers explicitly to the prior

   Is CVE-1999-0001 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.
   
   Also see BUGTRAQ:19990909 CISCO and nestea.
   
   Finally, note that there is no fundamental difference between
   nestea and nestea2/nestea-v2; they are different ports that
   exploit the same problem.
   
   The original nestea advisory is at
   http://www.technotronic.com/rhino9/advisories/06.htm
   but notice that the suggested fix is in line 375 of

   The Sun URL referenced by Dave Baker no longer exists, so I
   wasn't able to verify that it addressed the problem described
   in the Bugtraq post.  This might not even be Sun's

   called "Free Java Web Server"
 Dik> There appears to be some confusion.
   
   The particular bug seems to be on in JWS 1.1beta or 1.1 which was fixed
   in 1.1.2 (get foo.jthml source by appending "." of "\" to URL)

 Christey> CVE-1999-0287 is probably a duplicate of CVE-1999-0467.  In
   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.

 Wall> Invalid ICMP datagram fragments causes a denial of service in Windows 95 and

   Reference: Q154174.
   Jolt is also known as sPING, ICMP bug, Icenewk, and Ping of Death.
   It is a modified teardrop 2 attack.  
 Frech> XF:nt-ssping

   is exploiting any different flaw than teardrop does.
 CHANGE> [Christey changed vote from NOOP to REVIEWING]
 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)
 Levy> I tend to agree with Baker.
 CHANGE> [Armstrong changed vote from REVIEWING to REJECT]
 Armstrong> This code does not use fragment overlap.  It is simply a large ICMP echo request.
 Christey> See the SCO advisory at:
   http://www.securityfocus.com/templates/advisory.html?id=1411
   which may further clarify the issue.
 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.
 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
   increasing by about 47 (odd arithmetic of 5120 OR ((n* 380) >> 3)),
   which eventually results in sending fragments inside an already
   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.

 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.
   
 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.
 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.

   REVIEWING(1) Christey

 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
   +                report() (fixes #30675).
   +  * netkit-ftp: Applied patch from RedHat that fixes some obscure overflow
   +                bugs.
   +
   + -- Herbert Xu <herbert@debian.org>  Sat, 19 Dec 1998 14:36:48 +1100
   
   This tells me that two separate bugs are involved.
   
   Note that Red Hat posted *some* fix for *some* bootp problem
   in June 1998.  See:
   http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/rh42-errata-general.html#bootp
 Frech> XF:debian-netstd-bo
 Christey> Further analysis indicates that this is a duplicate of CVE-1999-0799
 CHANGE> [Christey changed vote from REJECT to REVIEWING]
 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.
   
   Note: see comments for CVE-1999-0798 which explain how that
   candidate is not related to CVE-1999-0799.
