CVSS v2.0
5.0
Medium
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 3.18
Description
The issue generates incorrect conntrack entries during the handling of certain iptables rule sets for the SCTP, DCCP, GRE, and UDP-Lite protocols. This allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via packets with disallowed port numbers.
Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions prior to 3.18, update to version 3.18 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the vulnerable protocols (SCTP, DCCP, GRE, and UDP-Lite) until a patch is available.
