Hi alle!
Frisch vom BUGTRAQ, dachte es koennte euch interessieren :)

Helu.
I wrote this post a while back when the bug was first discovered. It
seems as though this bug (and patch) has gotten out, so here it is, in it's
entirety.
As it happens, Linux has a serious bug in it's IP fragmentation module.
More specifically, in the fragmentation reassembly code. More specifically,
the bug manifests itself in the `ip_glue()` function....
When Linux reassembles IP fragments to form the original IP datagram, it
runs in a loop, copying the payload from all the queued fragments into a newly
allocated buffer (which would then normally be passed to the IP layer proper).
>From ip_fragment.c@376:
fp = qp->fragments;
while(fp != NULL)
{
if(count+fp->len > skb->len)
{
error_to_big;
}
memcpy((ptr + fp->offset), fp->ptr, fp->len);
count += fp->len;
fp = fp->next;
}
While it does check to see if the fragment length is too large, which would
have the kernel copy too much data, it doesn't check to see if the fragment
length is too small, which would have the kernel copy WAY too data (such is the
case if fp->len is < 0).
To see when this happens, we need to look at how Linux adds IP datagrams
to the reassembly queue. From ip_fragment.c@502:
/*
* Determine the position of this fragment.
*/
end = offset + ntohs(iph->tot_len) - ihl;
Ok. That's nice. Now we have to look at what happens when we have
overlaping fragments... From ip_fragment.c@531:
/*
* We found where to put this one.
* Check for overlap with preceding fragment, and, if needed,
* align things so that any overlaps are eliminated.
*/
if (prev != NULL && offset < prev->end)
{
i = prev->end - offset;
offset += i; /* ptr into datagram */
ptr += i; /* ptr into fragment data */
}
If we find that the current fragment's offset is inside the end of a
previous fragment (overlap), we need to (try) align it correctly. Well, this
is fine and good, unless the payload of the current fragment happens to NOT
contain enough data to cover the realigning. In that case, `offset` will end
up being larger then `end`. These two values are passed to `ip_frag_create()`
where the length of the fragment data is computed. From ip_fragment.c@97:
/* Fill in the structure. */
fp->offset = offset;
fp->end = end;
fp->len = end - offset;
This results in fp->len being negative and the memcpy() at the top will end
up trying to copy entirely too much data, resulting in a reboot or a halt,
depending on how much physical memory you've got.
We can trigger this normally unlikely event by simply sending 2 specially
fragmented IP datagrams. The first is the 0 offset fragment with a payload of
size N, with the MF bit on (data content is irrelevant). The second is the
last fragment (MF == 0) with a positive offset < N and with a payload of < N.
Every linux implementation I have been able to look at seems to have this
problem (1.x - 2.x, including the development kernels).
Oh, by the way, NT/95 appear to have the bug also. Try sending 10 - 15 of
these fragment combos to an NT/95 machine.
Special thanks to klepto for bringing the problem to my attention and
writing the initial exploit.
