Detail

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.

Id Description
15619 Multiple Vendor ICMP Implementation Malformed Path MTU DoS

Multiple ICMP implementations contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered due to the handling of ICMP error messages and when the "Path MTU Discovery" (PMTUD) mechanism is used. By sending a specially crafted ICMP error message, a remote attacker could arbitrary reduce the throughput of a TCP connection resulting in a loss of availability.
