Description:
Vafa Izadinia has reported a vulnerability in OpenBSD, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct DoS (Denial of Service) attacks.
The problem is caused due to insufficient validation of ICMP packets and can be exploited to crash a vulnerable system via a specially crafted ICMP packet sent from one interface to another.
Successful exploitation requires that the system has been setup to act as a bridge between two networks and has IPsec processing enabled.
