Sun Solaris 7.0/8.0/9.0/10.0 ICMP Error Message denial of service

CVSS Meta Temp Score
CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.
Current Exploit Price (≈)
Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.
CTI Interest Score
Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical was found in Sun Solaris 7.0/8.0/9.0/10.0 (Operating System). This vulnerability affects some unknown functionality of the component ICMP Error Message Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a denial of service vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-404. The product does not release or incorrectly releases a resource before it is made available for re-use. As an impact it is known to affect availability. CVE summarizes:

Multiple TCP/IP and ICMP implementations allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (reset TCP connections) via spoofed ICMP error messages, aka the "blind connection-reset attack." NOTE: CVE-2004-0790, CVE-2004-0791, and CVE-2004-1060 have been SPLIT based on different attacks; CVE-2005-0065, CVE-2005-0066, CVE-2005-0067, and CVE-2005-0068 are related identifiers that are SPLIT based on the underlying vulnerability. While CVE normally SPLITs based on vulnerability, the attack-based identifiers exist due to the variety and number of affected implementations and solutions that address the attacks instead of the underlying vulnerabilities.

The weakness was published 04/12/2005 by Fernando Gont as MS05-019 (Website). The advisory is shared for download at sunsolve.sun.com. This vulnerability was named CVE-2004-0790 since 08/17/2004. The attack can be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is required for a successful exploitation. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available. The MITRE ATT&CK project declares the attack technique as T1499.

A public exploit has been developed by houseofdabus and been published 2 weeks after the advisory. It is possible to download the exploit at gont.com.ar. It is declared as proof-of-concept. As 0-day the estimated underground price was around $5k-$25k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 18608 (HP-UX PHNE_33159 : s700_800 11.11 cumulative ARPA Transport patch), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family HP-UX Local Security Checks and running in the context l. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 43278 (Cisco IOS Crafted ICMP Messages Denial of Service Vulnerability (cisco-sa-20050412-icmp)).

Applying a patch is able to eliminate this problem. The bugfix is ready for download at sunsolve.sun.com.Proper firewalling of is able to address this issue. The best possible mitigation is suggested to be applying a restrictive firewalling. A possible mitigation has been published 3 months after the disclosure of the vulnerability. Attack attempts may be identified with Snort ID 396.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (17170), Exploit-DB (948), Tenable (18608), SecurityFocus (BID 13124†) and OSVDB (15457†). Similar entries are available at VDB-1268, VDB-1365, VDB-1364 and VDB-1359. Once again VulDB remains the best source for vulnerability data.
