CVE-2011-2393

Publication date 2 February 2012

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

The Neighbor Discovery (ND) protocol implementation in the IPv6 stack in FreeBSD, NetBSD, and possibly other BSD-based operating systems allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption and device hang) by sending many Router Advertisement (RA) messages with different source addresses, a similar vulnerability to CVE-2010-4670.

Notes

tyhicks

"Old Linux kernels are also affected, detailed version information unknown."

apw

"Linux: fixed prior 2010" algorithm appears unchanged all the way back to hardy, with the holding of a single address from RA at any one time, very likely we are unaffected but this needs testing

jdstrand

linux-lts-saucy no longer receives official support linux-lts-quantal no longer receives official support

apw

we have always had an upper limit of addresses for each interface via RA so we cannot crash at least, we only accept these from link-local so we can only be DOSd by someone on the local link, who can kill us by killing the same link. For this CVE we seemed to be fixed by the first git commit so use that as 'fix'.
