Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Apple Watch up to 1.0.2 (Smartwatch Operating System) and classified as problematic. Affected by this issue is an unknown part of the component Kernel. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. Impacted is availability. CVE summarizes:

The Neighbor Discovery (ND) protocol implementation in the IPv6 stack in Apple iOS before 9 allows remote attackers to reconfigure a hop-limit setting via a small hop_limit value in a Router Advertisement (RA) message.

The weakness was released 09/23/2015 by Dennis Spindel Ljungmark as HT205213 as confirmed advisory (Website). The advisory is shared for download at support.apple.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2015-5869 since 08/06/2015. The attack needs to be done within the local network. No form of authentication is required for exploitation. There are neither technical details nor an exploit publicly available. The advisory points out:

An insufficient validation issue existed in handling of IPv6 router advertisements that allowed an attacker to set the hop limit to an arbitrary value. This issue was addressed by enforcing a minimum hop limit.

The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 370192 (Apple Mac OS X v10.11 Not Installed (APPLE-SA-2015-09-30-3)).

Upgrading to version 2 eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at SecurityFocus (BID 76764†) and Vulnerability Center (SBV-53152†).
