Number   : 20030201-01-P
Date     : February 12, 2003
Reference: CERT CA-2001-09

- -----------------------
- --- Issue Specifics ---
- -----------------------

It's been reported that there are multiple networking related
vulnerabilities in certain versions of IRIX:

  o  Statistical Weaknesses in TCP/IP Initial Sequence Numbers
     http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2001-09.html
     http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-1999-0077
     http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2001-0328

  o  Denial of Service attack involving clients sending packets with very
     small MSS values
     http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/195457

  o  IGMP report suppression Denial of Service
     http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~krishna/igmp_dos/

  o  Non-root users could influence interface settings that they shouldn't
     be able to change.

  o  We added two new systune variables to disable additional types
     of broadcast probes.

Non-security related fixes included with these patches,

  o Always immediately ACK packets with PSH flag set to improve performance
    with GigE networking.

  o Permit the use of select() with sockets using the STP protocol in
    the IRIX m-stream


SGI has investigated the issue and recommends the following steps for
neutralizing the exposure.  It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that these measures be
implemented on ALL vulnerable SGI systems.

These issues have been corrected in patches and in IRIX 6.5.19.


- --------------
- --- Impact ---
- --------------

The above vulnerabilities are kernel-level, and naturally the kernel is
installed by default on IRIX 6.5 systems as part of eoe.sw.base.

To determine the version of IRIX you are running, execute the following
command:

  # /bin/uname -R

That will return a result similar to the following:

  # 6.5 6.5.16f

The first number ("6.5") is the release name, the second ("6.5.16f" in this
case) is the extended release name.  The extended release name is the
"version" we refer to throughout this document.


- ----------------------------
- --- Temporary Workaround ---
- ----------------------------

There is no effective workaround available for these problems.  SGI
recommends either upgrading to IRIX 6.5.19, or installing the appropriate
patch from the listing below.


- ----------------
- --- Solution ---
- ----------------

SGI has provided a series of patches for these vulnerabilities. Our
recommendation is to upgrade to IRIX 6.5.19 when available, or install the
appropriate patch.

   NOTES

     1) This version of the IRIX operating has been retired. Upgrade to an
        actively supported IRIX operating system.  See
        http://support.sgi.com/irix/news/index.html#policy for more
        information.

     2) If you have not received an IRIX 6.5.X CD for IRIX 6.5, contact your
        SGI Support Provider or URL: http://support.sgi.com/irix/swupdates/

     3) Upgrade to IRIX 6.5.19

     4) Install the appropriate patch or upgrade to IRIX 6.5.19

     5) Note that for several of these fixes, you have to systune variables to
        non-default settings to provide the added protection. Documentation
        on how to use the new systunes is in the file /var/sysgen/mtune/bsd.
