CVE-2018-6922 (GCVE-0-2018-6922)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2018-08-09 18:00 – Updated: 2024-09-16 17:53
VLAI
Summary
One of the data structures that holds TCP segments in all versions of FreeBSD prior to 11.2-RELEASE-p1, 11.1-RELEASE-p12, and 10.4-RELEASE-p10 uses an inefficient algorithm to reassemble the data. This causes the CPU time spent on segment processing to grow linearly with the number of segments in the reassembly queue. An attacker who has the ability to send TCP traffic to a victim system can degrade the victim system's network performance and/or consume excessive CPU by exploiting the inefficiency of TCP reassembly handling, with relatively small bandwidth cost.

This causes the CPU time spent on segment processing to grow linearly with the number of segments in the reassembly queue. An attacker who has the ability to send TCP traffic to a victim system can degrade the victim system\u0027s network performance and/or consume excessive CPU by exploiting the inefficiency of TCP reassembly handling, with relatively small bandwidth cost."

Esto provoca que el tiempo de CPU que se gasta en el procesamiento de segmentos crezca linealmente con el n\u00famero de segmentos en la cola de reensamblado. Un atacante que pueda enviar tr\u00e1fico TCP en un sistema objetivo puede degradar el rendimiento de la red del sistema v\u00edctima y/o consumir demasiada CPU explotando la ineficiencia del manejo del reensamblado TCP, con un coste de ancho de banda relativamente peque\u00f1o."

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.
