Open
Description
- Type: Code written intentionally to access out of bounds causes CHERI bounds violation
- Trigger Conditions: IPFW enabled with any rule containing IPv6 masks. An example would be the default open setting
- Impact: Remote DoS with any IPv6 packet on CheriBSD
- Root cause:
An IPFW rule with opcode O_IP6_SRC_MASK or O_IP6_DST_MASK can contain an array of one or more ipfw_insn_ip6. The C code obtains a pointer to the first ipfw_insn_ip6's second field addr6 and uses it to access the third field mask6. It then also increments the same pointer to access the fields of the next ipfw_insn_ip6 in the array.
There should be no actual vulnerability in this code.
