FreeBSD : FreeBSD -- ICMP/ICMP6 packet filter bypass in pf (59c5f255-b309-11e9-a87f-a4badb2f4699)

high Nessus Plugin ID 127545

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

States in pf(4) let ICMP and ICMP6 packets pass if they have a packet in their payload matching an existing condition. pf(4) does not check if the outer ICMP or ICMP6 packet has the same destination IP as the source IP of the inner protocol packet. Impact : A maliciously crafted ICMP/ICMP6 packet could bypass the packet filter rules and be passed to a host that would otherwise be unavailable.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
