What to do

Workaround (from the CVE record)

If DHCPv6 is not required for `iscsiuio`, disable DHCPv6 handling for the relevant network interface. If DHCPv6 is necessary, restrict network exposure to trusted adjacent networks and implement firewall rules to prevent forged DHCPv6 server traffic from reaching clients on shared L2 segments. A system restart or service reload may be required for changes to take effect.

About this vulnerability

A flaw was found in open-iscsi's iscsiuio component. This vulnerability involves an integer underflow and out-of-bounds read during Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) packet parsing. Specifically, crafted DHCPv6 Advertise traffic with a short User Datagram Protocol (UDP) length can cause the DHCPv6 payload length to underflow. An unauthenticated attacker on an adjacent network…

Description

Open-iscsi: open-iscsi: integer underflow in iscsiuio dhcpv6 parsing

A flaw was found in open-iscsi's iscsiuio component. This vulnerability involves an integer underflow and out-of-bounds read during Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) packet parsing. Specifically, crafted DHCPv6 Advertise traffic with a short User Datagram Protocol (UDP) length can cause the DHCPv6 payload length to underflow. An unauthenticated attacker on an adjacent network segment can exploit this by sending specially crafted IPv6 UDP traffic while the client is in an active DHCPv6 exchange, leading to a denial of service due to a process crash or service disruption.
