Potential Security Impact: Remote Denial of Service (DoS) 

Source: Hewlett-Packard Company, HP Software Security Response Team

VULNERABILITY SUMMARY
A potential security vulnerability has been identified with 
HP-UX running TCP/IP (IPv4). This vulnerability could be remotely 
exploited by an unauthorized user to cause a Denial of Service (DoS). 

References: CAN-2005-1192 

SUPPORTED SOFTWARE VERSIONS*: ONLY impacted versions are listed.
HP-UX B.11.11, B.11.22, B.11.23. 

BACKGROUND
 
To determine if an HP-UX system has an affected version, 
search the output of "swlist -a revision -l fileset" 
for one of the filesets listed below. For affected systems 
verify that the recommended action has been taken. 

AFFECTED VERSIONS 

HP-UX B.11.11 
============= 
Networking.NET2-KRN 
action: install PHNE_33159 

HP-UX B.11.22 
============= 
Networking.NET2-KRN 
action: install preliminary binary files per HPSBUX01164 

HP-UX B.11.23

END AFFECTED VERSIONS 

Certain network traffic can result in a Denial of Service (DoS) for HP-UX 
systems running TCP/IP (IPv4). Receiving a certain packet on any open 
TCP/IP connection can result in a Denial of Service (DoS) condition which 
can only be corrected by a reboot of the affected system. The Denial of 
Service (DoS) is characterized by high cpu utilization and a lack of 
response on any I/O port including the system console. 

Previous revisions of this Security Bulletin recommended setting 
ip_pmtu_strategy to 0 or 3 as a workaround. Patches or updates 
to resolve the issue are now available. After these patches or updates 
are installed the workaround will no longer be necessary or recommended. 
The ip_pmtu_strategy parameter should be restored to the default value of 2.

B.11.11 and B.11.23 from http://itrc.hp.com 

For B.11.11 - PHNE_33159 or subsequent 
For B.11.23 - PHNE_32606 or subsequent 

Binary files are available for B.11.22 as discussed in HPSBUX01164. 

Patches and updates are available for IPSec.
