FreeBSD Security Advisory - IGMP Integer Overflow
Posted Apr 8, 2015
Authored by Marek Kroemeke, Mateusz Kocielski | Site security.freebsd.org

FreeBSD Security Advisory - An integer overflow in computing the size of IGMPv3 data buffer can result in a buffer which is too small for the requested operation. An attacker who can send specifically crafted IGMP packets could cause a denial of service situation by causing the kernel to crash. Revision 2 of this advisory.

For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories,
including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the
following sections, please visit <URL:https://security.FreeBSD.org/>.

0. Revision history

v1.0 2015-02-25 Initial release.
v1.1 2015-04-07 Revised patch to address a potential overflow issue.

I. Background

IGMP is a control plane protocol used by IPv4 hosts and routers to propagate
multicast group membership information. IGMP version 3 is implemented on
FreeBSD.

II. Problem Description

An integer overflow in computing the size of IGMPv3 data buffer can result
in a buffer which is too small for the requested operation.

III. Impact

An attacker who can send specifically crafted IGMP packets could cause a
denial of service situation by causing the kernel to crash.

IV. Workaround

Block incoming IGMP packets by protecting your host/networks with a firewall.

V. Solution

Perform one of the following:

1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to a supported FreeBSD stable or
release / security branch (releng) dated after the correction date.

2) To update your vulnerable system via a binary patch:

Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the i386 or amd64
platforms can be updated via the freebsd-update(8) utility:

# freebsd-update fetch
# freebsd-update install

3) To update your vulnerable system via a source code patch:

The following patches have been verified to apply to the applicable
FreeBSD release branches.

a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the
detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.

# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-15:04/igmp.patch
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-15:04/igmp.patch.asc
# gpg --verify igmp.patch.asc

# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-15:04/igmp-errata.patch
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-15:04/igmp-errata.patch.asc
# gpg --verify igmp-errata.patch.asc

b) Apply the patch. Execute the following commands as root:

# cd /usr/src
# patch < /path/to/patch

c) Recompile your kernel as described in
<URL:https://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html> and reboot the
system.

VI. Correction details

The following list contains the correction revision numbers for each
affected branch.

Branch/path Revision

To see which files were modified by a particular revision, run the
following command, replacing NNNNNN with the revision number, on a
machine with Subversion installed:

# svn diff -cNNNNNN --summarize svn://svn.freebsd.org/base
