VAR-199912-0159

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-03 22:27

Macintosh systems generate large ICMP datagrams in response to malformed datagrams, allowing them to be used as amplifiers in a flood attack. apple's macOS Exists in unspecified vulnerabilities.None. The implementation of Open Transport in MacOS 9 includes a weakness that could allow an attacker to use the Mac as a traffic amplifier in a DoS attack against another computer. A specially-crafted 29-byte UDP packet can be sent to a machine running MacOS 9. The Mac will then respond with a 1500 byte ICMP packet. If the first UDP packet is sent with a spoofed IP address of a third machine, and these spoofed triggger packets are sent to several MacOS 9 machines,, it will create an effective DoS of the third machine due to bandwidth starvation. There are a large number of ICMP datagram vulnerabilities in the Macintosh system. Attackers use these vulnerabilities as amplifiers to carry out attacks

Detection rules are retrieved from Rulezet.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
