Hello,
Playing around with ISS RealSecure, a well known network intrusion detection
system (NIDS), we have encountered the following security problems:
o It is possible to bypass the detection of TearDrop, SynDrop, NewTear
or Targa DOS attacks.
o Some of Whisker evading modes are still/really effective i.e. it is possible
to stealth scan a web server for CGIs.
This has been tested on ISS RealSecure version 3.2.1999.343 on Windows NT.
1. Teardrop signature in RealSecure
For example, the original/public teardrop.c version exploits the overlapping
IP fragment bug by sending 2 IP fragments. The ID field of the 2 IP fragments
is not involved in the attack and was fixed to 242 (why not ? ;-) ):
*((u_short *)p_ptr) = htons(242); /* IP id */
By changing this value from 242 to 666 (it can be a random number),
RealSecure won't detect teardrop attacks.
The only field changed is the ID field of the IP fragment. Using Snort you can
also sniff the network:
Original teardrop (detected):
02/11-09:37:03.822772 xxx.yyy.zzz.246 -> xxx.yyy.zzz.245
UDP TTL:64 TOS:0x0 ID:242 MF
Frag Offset: 0x0 Frag Size: 0x24
02/11-09:37:03.822829 xxx.yyy.zzz.246 -> xxx.yyy.zzz.245
UDP TTL:64 TOS:0x0 ID:242
Frag Offset: 0x3 Frag Size: 0x4
Modified teardrop (NOT detected):
02/11-09:37:07.967350 xxx.yyy.zzz.246 -> xxx.yyy.zzz.245
UDP TTL:64 TOS:0x0 ID:666 MF
Frag Offset: 0x0 Frag Size: 0x24
02/11-09:37:07.968076 xxx.yyy.zzz.246 -> xxx.yyy.zzz.245
UDP TTL:64 TOS:0x0 ID:666
Frag Offset: 0x3 Frag Size: 0x4
2. Whisker evading modes vs. RealSecure
Stealth scan can be done using Whisker v1.3.0a and the HEAD method.
It is also possible to use the GET method (-M 2), in that case you
must use an evading mode (0, 6 or both) to avoid detection.
Examples:
./whisker.pl -h xxx.yyy.zzz.ttt -I 1246
./whisker.pl -h xxx.yyy.zzz.ttt -I 0 -M 2
./whisker.pl -h xxx.yyy.zzz.ttt -I 6 -M 2
./whisker.pl -h xxx.yyy.zzz.ttt -I 60 -M 2
3. ISS has been made aware of the issue and is looking into its details.
We sent the above information to ISS by email 15 days ago; here is their answer:
"Thanks for your in depth analysis of our RealSecure Teardrop signature. We
rarely get such detailed reports and they are very much appreciated. Now
that we are aware of the issue, we've logged this as a bug so we can address
it in an upcoming release.
We haven't tested RealSecure against Whisker, but now that brought this to
our attention we can add it to our product test plan. We work very hard to
test our products against as many known attacks as possible and information
like this allows us to improve our test plan with every release.
Please feel free to provide us feedback like this in the future as it helps
us make a better product for all our customers."
Regards,
Stephane
