The (1) IPv4 and (2) IPv6 implementations in the Linux kernel before 3.1 use a modified MD4 algorithm to generate sequence numbers and Fragment Identification values, which makes it easier for remote attackers to cause a denial of service (disrupted networking) or hijack network sessions by predicting these values and sending crafted packets. (CVE-2011-3188)
Impact
Attackers may be able to cause denial-of-service (DoS) or hijack network sessions by predicting sequence number values and sending crafted packets.
This issue affects control-plane traffic generated by the Linux kernel, and does not affect data-plane traffic.Outbound connections initiated from the BIG-IP system by administrative applications such as BIG-IP health monitors, SNMP, SMTP, SSH, network time protocol (NTP), and so on, are processed by the Linux operating system, and may be exploited by this vulnerability. For more information, refer to K13284: Overview of management interface routing (11.x and later).
Note : Vulnerability scanners searching for this vulnerability will sometimes return false positives, as they depend on a low entropy value in certain sequence numbers for this vulnerability. Identifying a low entropy value in these tests may be inherently prone to false positives. For more information on vulnerability scanners, refer toK31046057: CVE security vulnerability scanners may report false positive results.
