Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1/Server 2008 SP2/Server 2012/Server 2012 R2 (Operating System). This affects an unknown part of the component iSCSI Packets Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as 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. This is going to have an impact on availability. The summary by CVE is:

Microsoft Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1 and Server 2012 Gold and R2 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (iSCSI service outage) by sending many crafted packets, aka "iSCSI Target Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability."

The weakness was presented 05/13/2014 by SecuriTeam with Beyond Security's SecuriTeam Secure Disclosure as MS14-028 as confirmed bulletin (Technet) via SecuriTeam Secure Disclosure. The advisory is shared at technet.microsoft.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2014-0255 since 12/03/2013. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available. The advisory points out:

Servers with the iSCSI target role enabled are affected.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 73987 (MS14-028: Vulnerabilities in iSCSI Could Allow Denial of Service (2962485)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Windows : Microsoft Bulletins. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 90953 (Microsoft Windows iSCSI Target Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability (MS14-028)).

Applying the patch MS14-028 is able to eliminate this problem. The bugfix is ready for download at technet.microsoft.com.It is possible to mitigate the weakness by firewalling tcp/3260 (iSCSI).
