Description: OpenSSL 0.9.8k/1.0.0-beta2 - DTLS Remote Memory Exhaustion Denial of Service
Type: dos
Platform: multiple

/*
 * cve-2009-1378.c
 *
 * OpenSSL <= 0.9.8k, 1.0.0-beta2 DTLS Remote Memory Exhaustion DoS
 * Jon Oberheide <jon@oberheide.org>
 * http://jon.oberheide.org
 *
 * Information:
 *
 *   http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-1378
 *
 *   In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message is 
 *   already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory allocated, 
 *   allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack with sending 
 *   out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory left.
 *
 * Usage:
 *
 *   Pass the host and port of the target DTLS server:
 *
 *   $ gcc cve-2009-1378.c -o cve-2009-1378
 *   $ ./cve-2009-1378 1.2.3.4 666
 *
 * Notes:
 *
 *   With a MTU of 1500, the attack leaks 1503 bytes of memory with each UDP
 *   datagram.  If you have a bigger MTU than 1500, feel free to set it.
 *
 *   Complete memory exhaustion may take a while depending on the throughput 
 *   to the target and the amount of memory it has.  By default, we'll just 
 *   continue sending datagrams indefinitely.
