S-170: KAME Project IPv6 IPComp Vulnerability

The KAME project's IPv6 implementation does not properly process IPv6 packets that contain the IPComp header. The risk is LOW. If exploited, this vulnerability may allow an attacker to cause a vulnerable system to crash.

NAME
sys_attrs_ipv6 - ipv6 subsystem attributes DESCRIPTION
This reference page lists and describes attributes for the Internet Protocol Version 6 (ipv6) kernel subsystem. Refer to the sys_attrs(5) reference page for an introduction to the topic of kernel subsystem attributes. A value that enables (1) or disables (0) rate-limiting of ICMPv6 errors (see RFC 2463). Default value: 1 (enabled) The maximum time, in milliseconds, to wait before sending ICMPv6 error packets to a particular destination IPv6 address. Default value: 1000 (milliseconds) Minimum value: 1 Maximum value: LONG_MAX, or 9 quintillion The minimum time, in milliseconds, to wait before sending ICMPv6 error packets to a particular destination IPv6 address. Default value: 100 (milliseconds) Minimum value: 1 Maximum value: LONG_MAX, or 9 quintillion The number of packets to send before starting the ICMPv6 error packet rate-limiting timers. Default value: 10 (packets) Minimum value: 0 Maximum value: INT_MAX, or 2 billion A value that enables (1) or disables (0) a system's ability to forward IPv6 packets that are not addressed to the system. This functionality is usually enabled by using the /usr/sbin/ip6_setup command. Default value: 0 (disabled) For systems functioning as routers, both ipv6forwarding and ipv6router attributes must be 1. For IPv6 hosts that want to forward source routed packets, the ipv6forwarding attribute must be 1. A value that enables (1) or disables (0) a system's ability to forward IPV6 packets that are not addressed to the system. This functionality is usually enabled by using the /usr/sbin/ip6_setup command. When enabled, Neighbor Advertisements from the system have the IsRouter flag set (see RFC 2461). Default value: 0 (disabled) For systems functioning as routers, both ipv6forwarding and ipv6router attributes must be 1. SEE ALSO
