[OSSA-2016-009] Security Groups do not prevent MAC and/or IPv4 spoofing in DHCP requests (CVE-2016-5362 and CVE-2016-5363)

Since this report concerns a possible security risk, an incomplete security advisory task has been added while the core security reviewers for the affected project or projects confirm the bug and discuss the scope of any vulnerability along with potential solutions.

Looking.

I think the issue exists, and under the circumstances identified there's the risk to intercept traffic on a shared medium. If the solution wouldn't involve tracking the source mac of all instances on the shared network, I'd say go for it, but the scalability implications concern me. Having said that, I think knowledge about this is already public domain because of the other issues being reported, therefore we may want to consider open the discussion for wider feedback.

Thank you Armando for the investigation.

It's still unclear whenever shared network impacts do warrants an advisory.
If nobody objects, lets make this bug report public security.

Also, should the description be saying "the IPv6* case of public bug" instead of IPv4 ?

Tristan,

It's reasonable to assume IPv4 is much more widely deployed than IPv6, so the public IPv6 bug a significantly smaller number of installations. That being said, it wasn't a very difficult to examine the IPv4 case for the same vulnerability as the IPv6 case, so don't believe there is significant value in maintaining the embargo.

Armando,

Neutron presently maintains an ebtables chain for each instance port to prevent MAC spoofing, the overhead of expanding this to validate all source MAC as well as ARP messages is one additional rule in this chain (ebtables allows matching against multiple MAC addresses in a single rule). If Neutron chooses not to address this, first-hop security expectations should to be clearly defined in a policy somewhere so operators can make informed decisions on how they deploy Neutron.

I agree that this is something we need to address. I'm fine with it being opened to the public or being fixed first.

@Dustin,

Can you confirm that the attached patch fixes the mac spoofing issue? (Note that there are two patches in there, one for Linux Bridge and one for OVS)

I didn't do anything about the DHCP request source IP restriction in this patch because that one just seems to be a way to spam some DHCP requests for an incorrect address. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that doesn't pose any security issue (other than log noise), right?

@Kevin,

I've tested the patch on ML2 LinuxBridge, and in the process of testing on ML2 OVS now. I'm not positive that all potential instance operating systems would not insert an entry its ARP table after receiving a unicast UDP packet, although I've verified Linux does not learn neighbors from unicast UDP packets. I think we can remove the embargo once this patch is merged.

@Kevin

I've verified your patch prevents MAC address spoofing with both LinuxBridge and OVS mechanism drivers. The chunk in update_stale_ofport_rules didn't apply cleanly to master, but was trivial to resolve by hand.

I agree the impact of this bug should be limited enough that it's worthwhile to work it in public and avoid complexities of the embargo process.

@Dustin @Kevin, if it's ok for you, can you remove the privacy setting of this bug before submitting the proposed patch to gerrit ?

@Tristan @Jeremy, The MAC spoofing aspect of this could based used to DoS or intercept other tenants in a public cloud using shared networks. I'm not familiar with the review process for a patch under embargo, but releasing this could leave public deployments exposed. On the other hand, as I mentioned in the original bug report, this is the IPv4 case of a public IPv6 bug and a fix was first suggested in 2013. Hopefully public deployments have taken additional precautions to harden their environments.

In the past we've considered some bugs only impacting shared tenant networks to be impractical vulnerabilities given the warnings in the security guide about shared network deployment models (though I'm failing to find specific precedent bugs to cite at the moment). That said, if the proposed patch fixes this and can be backported quickly to supported stable branches (mitaka, liberty, kilo) without an adverse behavior change then we could follow embargo process. I'm just wary, as the related IPv6 bug has been public for months with no movement.

I would be okay with a public release and then regular code review. It should be relatively quick since the patch is already prepared with tests.

I've switched this to public security. Changes can be pushed to public Gerrit while we continue to debate the impact and need for an advisory.

About the OSSA status, is the impact for non shared network limited to single tenant scope (e.g. one instance can bypass neutron anti-spoof rules toward other instances of the same tenant only) ?

    Linux Bridge: Add mac spoofing filtering to ebtables

    The current mac-spoofing code in iptables has two issues.
    First, it occurs after the address discovery allow rules
    (e.g. DHCP), so MAC addresses can be spoofed on discovery
    protocols. Second, since it is based on iptables, it
    doesn't apply to protocols like STP.

    This means a VM could generate one of these types of packets
    with a spoofed MAC address to trick switches into learning
    that the spoofed MAC now belongs to the VM's port. The impact
    of this depends on the configuration of the environment
    (e.g. use of L2pop: see the bug report for details).

    This patch adds MAC spoofing filtering to the ARP protection
    code for Linux bridge based on ebtables. Only traffic sourced
    from the MAC address on the port or in the allowed address
    pair MACs will be allowed.

    This filtering will not be enabled if the port has port
    security disabled or if the device_owner starts with 'network:'.

    Change-Id: I39dc0e23fc118ede19ef2d986b29fc5a8e48ff78
    Partial-Bug: #1558658

Covering both bug 1558658 and bug 1502933, here is impact description draft #1.
Is this accurate enough ?

Title: Neutron anti-spoof protection bypass
Reporter: Romain Aviolat (Nagravision) and Dustin Lundquist (Blue Box Group)
Products: Neutron
Affects: >=2015.1.0 <=2015.1.3, >=7.0.0 <=7.0.4, <=8.0.0

Description:
Romain Aviolat from Nagravision and Dustin Lundquist from Blue Box Group, Inc independently reported a vulnerability in Neutron anti-spoof protection. By forging discovery protocol source address, an instance may spoof addresses on attached network resulting in Denial of Service and/or traffic interception. When L2population isn't used, other tenants attached to a shared network are also vulnerable. Neutron setups using the IPTables firewall driver are affected.

@Tristan, A few suggestions for impact description:
  1. s/forging discovery protocol source address/forging DHCP discovery source address/ (DHCP is the protocol, discovery is the message type, and could be confused with IPv6 neighbor discovery protocol).
  2. In bug/1558674 I generalized this to all non-IP traffic, I think this is relevant to the impact description since it is a more likely attack vector
  3. We should mention that both MAC and IP source spoofing where permitted. MAC spoofing effects are limited to local network, while IP spoofing could be used for either a direct DoS or interfering with DHCP leases on other networks.

Thank you Dustin for this review! How about:

By forging non-IP traffic such as DHCP discovery or ARP messages, an instance may spoof IP or MAC source addresses on attached networks resulting in denial of services and/or traffic interception. Moreover when L2population isn't used, other tenants attached to a shared network are also vulnerable. Neutron setups using the IPTables firewall driver are affected.

Still a bit muddled, DHCP is IP traffic, and ARP is already filtered by ebtables. How about:

By forging DHCP discovery messages or non-IP traffic, an instance may spoof IP or MAC source addresses on attached networks resulting in denial of services and/or traffic interception. Moreover when L2population isn't used, other tenants attached to a shared network are also vulnerable. Neutron setups using the IPTables firewall driver are affected.

Related fix proposed to branch: master
Review: https://review.openstack.org/301977

Oups, dhcp discovery is indeed IP. Thank you for the correction.

https://review.openstack.org/301977 is the proposed OSSA, note that it is missing backports of the icmpv6 extra rules.
I'll request the CVE number once everything is ready.

Dustin, is change 315828 ( Ia1f9d768004871d743d2c7b979de1439667efe52 ) a security fix or does it fix a regression caused by one of the fix part of this upcoming advisory ? ftr, the current list of patch for the ossa are:

* Ice1c9dd349864da28806c5053e38ef86f43b7771 (icmpv6)
* Ibc2b0fa80baf2ea8b01fa568cd1fe7a7e092e7a5 (dhcp)
* I39dc0e23fc118ede19ef2d986b29fc5a8e48ff78 (arp)

Here is the final impact description:

Title: Neutron anti-spoof protection bypass
Reporter: Romain Aviolat (Nagravision) and Dustin Lundquist (Blue Box Group, Inc)
Products: Neutron
Affects: <=7.0.4, >=8.0.0 <=8.1.0

Description:
Romain Aviolat from Nagravision and Dustin Lundquist from Blue Box
Group, Inc independently reported vulnerabilities in Neutron anti-
spoof protection. By forging DHCP discovery messages or non-IP
traffic, such as ARP or ICMPv6, an instance may spoof IP or MAC source
addresses on attached networks resulting in denial of services and/or
traffic interception. Moreover when L2population isn't used, other
tenants attached to a shared network are also vulnerable. Neutron
setups using the IPTables firewall driver are affected.

Tristan, change 315828 addresses the OVS Firewall which currently has many of these same problems. Specifically table 71 (BASE_EGRESS_TABLE) permits specific ICMPv6 types, DHCP and DHCPv6 before validating source MAC or IP addresses. This allows IPv6 spoofing: neighbor discovery is permitted without any address validation. In addition the DHCP (IPv4) could be used to mask the source address of flood attack or release the DHCP lease of another instance (potentially belonging to another tenant on a shared network). In addition all the of above traffic types could be used to cause an physical switch to learn an incorrect port of another instance or router's MAC address potentially intercepting another tenants traffic on a shared provider network.

I finally have a working OVS Firewall test environment and this is my initial analysis of the OpenFlow rules it produces. I think all of the above vulnerabilities are addressed in the existing bug reports. I know the OVS Firewall is recent addition, so I'm not sure how it falls into the security advisory process.

Hum, well that's the problem with catch-all advisory where similar issues can be found later.
I propose we change impact description title to "Neutron IPTables firewall anti-spoof protection bypass" and move with it.

For the OVS Firewall case, I've added an ossa task to track this issue separately. If you agree, please review the new title and impact description posted in comment #52 so that we can request a CVE and proceed with the advisory.

    Clear DVR MAC on last agent deletion from host

    Once all agents are deleted from a host, the DVR MAC generated
    for that host should be deleted as well to prevent a buildup of
    pointless flows generated in the OVS agent for hosts that don't

    Add an option for WSGI pool size

    Neutron currently hardcodes the number of
    greenlets used to process requests in a process to 1000.
    As detailed in
    http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-December/082717.html

    this can cause requests to wait within one process
    for available database connection while other processes
    remain available.

    By adding a wsgi_default_pool_size option functionally
    identical to that of Nova, we can lower the number of
    greenlets per process to be more in line with a typical
    max database connection pool size.
