Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in PVLAN protocol (affected version not known) and classified as critical. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file pvlan.c. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a authentication spoofing vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-290. This attack-focused weakness is caused by incorrectly implemented authentication schemes that are subject to spoofing attacks. Impacted is integrity. CVE summarizes:

The PVLAN protocol allows remote attackers to bypass network segmentation and spoof PVLAN traffic via a PVLAN message with a target MAC address that is set to a gateway router, which causes the packet to be sent to the router, where the source MAC is modified, aka "Modification of the MAC spoofing PVLAN jumping attack," as demonstrated by pvlan.c.

The bug was discovered 09/02/1999. The weakness was published 12/20/2005 as not defined posting (Bugtraq). The advisory is shared for download at securityfocus.com.
