FreeBSD-SA-19:06.pf Security Advisory
The FreeBSD Project
Topic: ICMP/ICMP6 packet filter bypass in pf
Category: contrib
Module: pf
Announced: 2019-05-14
Credits: Synacktiv
Affects: All supported versions of FreeBSD
Corrected: 2019-03-21 14:17:10 UTC (stable/12, 12.0-STABLE)
2019-05-14 23:12:22 UTC (releng/12.0, 12.0-RELEASE-p4)
2019-03-21 14:17:12 UTC (stable/11, 11.3-PRERELEASE)
2019-05-14 23:12:22 UTC (releng/11.2, 11.2-RELEASE-p10)
CVE Name: CVE-2019-5598
For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories,
including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the
following sections, please visit .
I. Background
pf(4) is an Internet Protocol packet filter originally written for OpenBSD.
In addition to filtering packets, it also has packet normalization
capabilities.
II. Problem Description
States in pf(4) let ICMP and ICMP6 packets pass if they have a packet in
their payload matching an existing condition. pf(4) does not check if the
outer ICMP or ICMP6 packet has the same destination IP as the source IP of
the inner protocol packet.
III. Impact
A maliciously crafted ICMP/ICMP6 packet could bypass the packet filter rules
and be passed to a host that would otherwise be unavailable.
IV. Workaround
No workaround is available.
V. Solution
Perform one of the following:
1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to a supported FreeBSD stable or
release / security branch (releng) dated after the correction date.
Afterwards, reboot the system.
2) To update your vulnerable system via a binary patch:
Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the i386 or amd64
platforms can be updated via the freebsd-update(8) utility:
# freebsd-update fetch
# freebsd-update install
Afterwards, reboot the system.
3) To update your vulnerable system via a source code patch:
The following patches have been verified to apply to the applicable
FreeBSD release branches.
a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the
detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-19:06/pf.patch
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-19:06/pf.patch.asc
# gpg --verify pf.patch.asc
b) Apply the patch. Execute the following commands as root:
# cd /usr/src
# patch < /path/to/patch
c) Recompile your kernel as described in
and reboot the
system.
