+ <title>Linux Kernel: Remote DoS vulnerability with IPTables TCP Handling</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ A flaw has been discovered in 2.6 series Linux kernels that allows an
+ attacker to send a malformed TCP packet, causing the affected kernel to
+ possibly enter an infinite loop and hang the vulnerable machine.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ The Linux kernel is responsible for managing the core aspects of a
+ GNU/Linux system, providing an interface for core system applications as
+ well as providing the essential structure and capability to access hardware
+ that is needed for a running system.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ An attacker can utilize an erroneous data type in the IPTables TCP option
+ handling code, which lies in an iterator. By making a TCP packet with a
+ header length larger than 127 bytes, a negative integer would be implied in
+ the iterator.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ By sending one malformed packet, the kernel could get stuck in a loop,
+ consuming all of the CPU resources and rendering the machine useless,
+ causing a Denial of Service. This vulnerability requires no local access.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ If users do not use the netfilter functionality or do not use any
+ ``--tcp-option'' rules they are not vulnerable to this exploit. Users that
+ are may remove netfilter support from their kernel or may remove any
+ ``--tcp-option'' rules they might be using. However, all users are urged to
+ upgrade their kernels to patched versions.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ Users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest available sources for their
+ system:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+ # emerge -pv your-favorite-sources
+ # emerge your-favorite-sources
+
+ # # Follow usual procedure for compiling and installing a kernel.
+ # # If you use genkernel, run genkernel as you would do normally.</code>
+ </resolution>
