Hi,

 

There are good reasons to believe that NIOS, being built on Linux, is susceptible to among others CVE-2019-11477, the selective ACK kernel panic vulnerability recently disclosed by Netflix. I got the mail today about KB 2899: security alerts being recently updated, but nothing about this SACK panic "feature".

- Anyone got any news on this?
- Anyone tested an appliance against it?

RedHat advisory: https://access.redhat.com/security/vulnerabilities/tcpsack

 

BR,

No cookie. That hotfix addresses CVE-2019-6471, not CVE-2019-11477.

Sorry, I read it too fast... yesterday I heard from someone on the NetMRI team that NetMRI is not affected and that a KB would be posted today, as soon as the NIOS one was posted.   So expect it soon.

The vulnerability notice, with associated hotfix and instruction, was made available some 20 hours ago: https://support.infoblox.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/10622
