Network device drivers reuse old frame buffer data to pad packets

Vulnerability Note VU#412115

Original Release Date: 2003-01-06 | Last Revised: 2013-09-03

Overview

Many network device drivers reuse old frame buffer data to pad packets, resulting in an information leakage vulnerability that may allow remote attackers to harvest sensitive information from affected devices.

Description

The Ethernet standard (IEEE 802.3) specifies a minimum data field size of 46 bytes. If a higher layer protocol such as IP provides packet data that is smaller than 46 bytes, the device driver must fill the remainder of the data field with a "pad". For IP datagrams, RFC1042 specifies that "the data field should be padded (with octets of zero) to meet the IEEE 802 minimum frame size requirements."

Researchers from @Stake have discovered that, contrary to the recommendations of RFC1042, many Ethernet device drivers fail to pad frames with null bytes. Instead, these device drivers reuse previously transmitted frame data to pad frames smaller than 46 bytes. This constitutes an information leakage vulnerability that may allow remote attackers to harvest potentially sensitive information. Depending upon the implementation of an affected device driver, the leaked information may originate from dynamic kernel memory, from static system memory allocated to the device driver, or from a hardware buffer located on the network interface card.

For detailed information on this research, please read @Stake's "EtherLeak: Ethernet frame padding information leakage", available at

http://www.atstake.com/research/advisories/2003/atstake_etherleak_report.pdf

This vulnerability may also affect link layer networking protocols other than Ethernet.

Impact

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to harvest potentially sensitive information from network traffic. In some network environments, this vulnerability can also be used to circumvent technologies that divide networks into separate domains, such as VLANs and routers.

Solution

Apply a patch from your vendor

For vendor-specific information regarding vulnerability status and patch availability, please consult the Systems Affected section of this document

Use encryption to protect sensitive data


By using encryption to protect network traffic, vulnerable sites can greatly reduce the impact of this vulnerability. Affected device drivers will still leak information, but fragments of encrypted information will be useless to attackers. Note that this workaround will not protect sensitive information leaked from non-network sources such as kernel memory.

National Semiconductor Corporation Not Affected

Notified:  January 09, 2003 Updated: January 16, 2003

Statement Date:   January 09, 2003

Status

Not Affected

Vendor Statement

National Semiconductor manufactures a number of Ethernet controller chips, both for 100 Mbps and Gigabit Ethernet. Specifically these chips are used by our customers to create Ethernet adapter and LAN on Motherboard (LOM) products. In addition some of the MAC controller cores are integrated into other silicon products National produces. The base product line is as follows:


    DP83815100 Mbps Ethernet MAC/PHY
    DP83816100 Mbps Ethernet MAC/PHY
    DP838201000 Mbps Ethernet MAC
We have evaluated our MAC cores to determine their vulnerability to the issue that your report raised. We have found that our products properly pad short frames with 00's. However we did find that it is possible that from 1 - 7 bytes following the end of actual frame data may contain byte data from that same frame. All bytes following this alignment padding, however, will be 00's. Because the non-zero data comes from the same frame, this does not represent a security problem. Future Ethernet MAC products from National Semiconductor will not duplicate data and will 00 out all padding on short frames.

We are not aware of further vendor information regarding this vulnerability.
