Microsoft Windows 2000/XP Packet Fragmentation 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 was found in Microsoft Windows 2000/XP (Operating System) and classified as critical. Affected by this issue is some unknown processing of the component Packet Fragmentation Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a denial of service vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-404. The product does not release or incorrectly releases a resource before it is made available for re-use. Impacted is availability. CVE summarizes:

HP-UX B.11.00, B.11.04, B.11.11, and B.11.23 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a "Rose Attack" that involves sending a subset of small IP fragments that do not form a complete, larger packet.

The bug was discovered 12/09/2005. The weakness was published 10/01/2004 by Gandalf The White (DiGiT) (Website). The advisory is shared for download at digital.net. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2005-4316 since 12/17/2005. The attack may be launched remotely. No form of authentication is required for exploitation. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available. The MITRE ATT&CK project declares the attack technique as T1499.

After even before and not, there has been an exploit disclosed. The exploit is available at digital.net. It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 1679 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $5k-$25k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 17400 (HP-UX PHKL_31500 : s700_800 11.23 Sept04 base 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 115355 (HP-UX running TCP/IP Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability (HPSBUX02087)).
