CVE-2004-1060 – Multiple Vendor ICMP Implementation - Malformed Path MTU Denial of Service

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2004-1060

Multiple TCP/IP and ICMP implementations, when using Path MTU (PMTU) discovery (PMTUD), allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (network throughput reduction for TCP connections) via forged ICMP ("Fragmentation Needed and Don't Fragment was Set") packets with a low next-hop MTU value, aka the "Path MTU discovery attack." NOTE: CVE-2004-0790, CVE-2004-0791, and CVE-2004-1060 have been SPLIT based on different attacks; CVE-2005-0065, CVE-2005-0066, CVE-2005-0067, and CVE-2005-0068 are related identifiers that are SPLIT based on the underlying vulnerability. While CVE normally SPLITs based on vulnerability, the attack-based identifiers exist due to the variety and number of affected implementations and solutions that address the attacks instead of the underlying vulnerabilities. • https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/25388 https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/942 ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/updates/OpenServer/SCOSA-2006.4/SCOSA-2006.4.txt http://marc.info/?l=bugtraq&m=112861397904255&w=2 http://secunia.com/advisories/18317 http://securityreason.com/securityalert/19 http://securityreason.com/securityalert/57 http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20050412-icmp.shtml http://www.gont.com.ar/drafts/icmp-attacks-against-tcp.html http://www.secu •
