It was found that ONOS would throw exceptions when handling jumbo ethernet frames. The exceptions were not caught and handled, so a remote unauthenticated attacker could use this flaw to perform a denial-of-service attack against an ONOS system. To exploit this issue, the attacker must be able to send a jumbo ethernet frame to a switch controlled by ONOS. Only the connection between the controller and the switch generating the packet-in message of the malicious packet will be affected (disconnected). More details are available here: https://jira.onosproject.org/browse/ONOS-3349 An advisory is now live with no CVE ID: https://wiki.onosproject.org/display/ONOS/Security+advisories Please assign a CVE ID to this issue. A request was sent to MITRE directly 9 days ago with no answer. We need a CVE ID within the next 24 hours. Thanks David Jorm on behalf of the ONOS security response team
Adding Mitre to CC to make sure we don't end up with a duplicate. Please use CVE-2015-7516 for this issue. Happy Thanksgiving all! -- Kurt Seifried -- Red Hat -- Product Security -- Cloud PGP A90B F995 7350 148F 66BF 7554 160D 4553 5E26 7993 Red Hat Product Security contact: secalert () redhat com
