VAR-201402-0028

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2026-04-10 23:54

The process_rs function in the router advertisement daemon (radvd) before 1.8.2, when UnicastOnly is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (temporary service hang) via a large number of ND_ROUTER_SOLICIT requests. radvd is prone to the follow security vulnerabilities: 1. Multiple local privilege-escalation vulnerability. 2. A local arbitrary file-overwrite vulnerability. 3. Multiple remote denial-of-service vulnerabilities. An attacker can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code with administrative privileges, overwrite arbitrary files, and cause denial-of-service conditions. The software can replace IPv6 routing for stateless address auto-configuration. An input validation vulnerability exists in the 'process_rs' function in radvd 1.8.1 and earlier. ========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1257-1 November 10, 2011

radvd vulnerabilities

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

Ubuntu 11.10
Ubuntu 11.04
Ubuntu 10.10
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

radvd could be made to crash or overwrite certain files if it received specially crafted network traffic.

Software Description: - radvd: Router Advertisement Daemon

Details:

Vasiliy Kulikov discovered that radvd incorrectly parsed the ND_OPT_DNSSL_INFORMATION option. The default compiler options for affected releases should reduce the vulnerability to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10. (CVE-2011-3601)

Vasiliy Kulikov discovered that radvd incorrectly filtered interface names when creating certain files. (CVE-2011-3602)

Vasiliy Kulikov discovered that radvd incorrectly handled certain lengths. (CVE-2011-3604)

Vasiliy Kulikov discovered that radvd incorrectly handled delays when used in unicast mode, which is not the default in Ubuntu. (CVE-2011-3605)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 11.10: radvd 1:1.8-1ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 11.04: radvd 1:1.7-1ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 10.10: radvd 1:1.6-1ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: radvd 1:1.3-1.1ubuntu0.1

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

Debian Security Advisory DSA-2323-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Yves-Alexis Perez October 26, 2011 http://www.debian.org/security/faq

Package : radvd Vulnerability : several Problem type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE ID : CVE-2011-3602 CVE-2011-3604 CVE-2011-3605 Debian Bug : 644614

Multiple security issues were discovered by Vasiliy Kulikov in radvd, an IPv6 Router Advertisement daemon:

CVE-2011-3602

set_interface_var() function doesn't check the interface name, which is chosen by an unprivileged user.

CVE-2011-3604

process_ra() function lacks multiple buffer length checks which could lead to memory reads outside the stack, causing a crash of the daemon.

CVE-2011-3605

process_rs() function calls mdelay() (a function to wait for a defined time) unconditionnally when running in unicast-only mode. As this call is in the main thread, that means all request processing is delayed (for a time up to MAX_RA_DELAY_TIME, 500 ms by default). Note: upstream and Debian default is to use anycast mode.

For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1:1.1-3.1.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 1:1.6-1.1.

For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 1:1.8-1.2.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1:1.8-1.2.

We recommend that you upgrade your radvd packages.

    "data": "The process_rs function in the router advertisement daemon (radvd) before 1.8.2, when UnicastOnly is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (temporary service hang) via a large number of ND_ROUTER_SOLICIT requests. radvd is prone to the follow security vulnerabilities:\n1. Multiple local privilege-escalation vulnerability. \n2. A local arbitrary file-overwrite vulnerability. \n3. Multiple remote denial-of-service vulnerabilities. \nAn attacker can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code with administrative privileges, overwrite arbitrary files, and cause denial-of-service conditions. The software can replace IPv6 routing for stateless address auto-configuration. An input validation vulnerability exists in the \u0027process_rs\u0027 function in radvd 1.8.1 and earlier. ==========================================================================\nUbuntu Security Notice USN-1257-1\nNovember 10, 2011\n\nradvd vulnerabilities\n==========================================================================\n\nA security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:\n\n- Ubuntu 11.10\n- Ubuntu 11.04\n- Ubuntu 10.10\n- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS\n\nSummary:\n\nradvd could be made to crash or overwrite certain files if it received\nspecially crafted network traffic. \n\nSoftware Description:\n- radvd: Router Advertisement Daemon\n\nDetails:\n\nVasiliy Kulikov discovered that radvd incorrectly parsed the\nND_OPT_DNSSL_INFORMATION option. The default compiler options for affected\nreleases should reduce the vulnerability to a denial of service. This issue\nonly affected Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10. (CVE-2011-3601)\n\nVasiliy Kulikov discovered that radvd incorrectly filtered interface names\nwhen creating certain files. \n(CVE-2011-3602)\n\nVasiliy Kulikov discovered that radvd incorrectly handled certain lengths. (CVE-2011-3604)\n\nVasiliy Kulikov discovered that radvd incorrectly handled delays when used\nin unicast mode, which is not the default in Ubuntu. (CVE-2011-3605)\n\nUpdate instructions:\n\nThe problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following\npackage versions:\n\nUbuntu 11.10:\n  radvd                           1:1.8-1ubuntu0.1\n\nUbuntu 11.04:\n  radvd                           1:1.7-1ubuntu0.1\n\nUbuntu 10.10:\n  radvd                           1:1.6-1ubuntu0.1\n\nUbuntu 10.04 LTS:\n  radvd                           1:1.3-1.1ubuntu0.1\n\nIn general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes. \n\nReferences:\n  http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-1257-1\n  CVE-2011-3601, CVE-2011-3602, CVE-2011-3604, CVE-2011-3605\n\nPackage Information:\n  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/radvd/1:1.8-1ubuntu0.1\n  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/radvd/1:1.7-1ubuntu0.1\n  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/radvd/1:1.6-1ubuntu0.1\n  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/radvd/1:1.3-1.1ubuntu0.1\n\n\n. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -\nGentoo Linux Security Advisory                           GLSA 201111-08\n- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -\n                                            http://security.gentoo.org/\n- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -\n\n Severity: High\n    Title: radvd: Multiple vulnerabilities\n     Date: November 20, 2011\n     Bugs: #385967\n       ID: 201111-08\n\n- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -\n\nSynopsis\n========\n\nMultiple vulnerabilities have been found in radvd which could\npotentially lead to privilege escalation, data loss, or a Denial of\nService. \n\nBackground\n==========\n\nradvd is an IPv6 router advertisement daemon for Linux and BSD. \n\nAffected packages\n=================\n\n    -------------------------------------------------------------------\n     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected\n    -------------------------------------------------------------------\n  1  net-misc/radvd               \u003c 1.8.2                    \u003e= 1.8.2 \n\nDescription\n===========\n\nMultiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in radvd.

As this call\n   is in the main thread, that means all request processing is delayed (for\n   a time up to MAX_RA_DELAY_TIME, 500 ms by default). \n   Note: upstream and Debian default is to use anycast mode. \n\n\nFor the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in\nversion 1:1.1-3.1. \n\nFor the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in\nversion 1:1.6-1.1. \n\nFor the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in\nversion 1:1.8-1.2. \n\nFor the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in\nversion 1:1.8-1.2. \n\nWe recommend that you upgrade your radvd packages. \n\nFurther information about Debian Security Advisories, how to apply\nthese updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be\nfound at: http://www.debian.org/security/\n\nMailing list: debian-security-announce@lists.debian.org\n-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----\nVersion: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux)\n\niEYEARECAAYFAk6q2QcACgkQXm3vHE4uylqlEQCgpdFwHzpKLF6KHlJs4y/ykeo/\noEYAniJXFaff25pMtXzM6Ovu8zslZm7H\n=VfHu\n-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----\n",

VAR-201402-0027

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2026-04-10 23:54

The process_ra function in the router advertisement daemon (radvd) before 1.8.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer over-read and crash) via unspecified vectors. radvd is prone to the follow security vulnerabilities: 1. Multiple local privilege-escalation vulnerability. 2. A local arbitrary file-overwrite vulnerability. 3. Multiple remote denial-of-service vulnerabilities. An attacker can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code with administrative privileges, overwrite arbitrary files, and cause denial-of-service conditions. The software can replace IPv6 routing for stateless address auto-configuration. A security vulnerability exists in the 'process_ra' function in radvd 1.8.1 and earlier. ========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1257-1 November 10, 2011

radvd vulnerabilities

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

Ubuntu 11.10
Ubuntu 11.04
Ubuntu 10.10
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

radvd could be made to crash or overwrite certain files if it received specially crafted network traffic.

Software Description: - radvd: Router Advertisement Daemon

Details:

Vasiliy Kulikov discovered that radvd incorrectly filtered interface names when creating certain files. (CVE-2011-3602)

Vasiliy Kulikov discovered that radvd incorrectly handled certain lengths. (CVE-2011-3604)

Vasiliy Kulikov discovered that radvd incorrectly handled delays when used in unicast mode, which is not the default in Ubuntu. If used in unicast mode, a remote attacker could cause radvd outages, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2011-3605)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 11.10: radvd 1:1.8-1ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 11.04: radvd 1:1.7-1ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 10.10: radvd 1:1.6-1ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: radvd 1:1.3-1.1ubuntu0.1

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
