This topic describes how to configure detection of an
IP teardrop attack.
Teardrop attacks exploit the reassembly of fragmented IP packets.
In the IP header, one of the field is the fragment offset fields,
which indicates the starting position, or offset of the data contained
in a fragmented packet, relative to the data of the original unfragmented
packet. When the sum of the offset and size of one fragmented packet
differs from that of the next fragmented packet, the packets overlap
and the server attempting to reassemble the packet might crash.
To enable detection of a teardrop attack:
- Configure interfaces and assign IP addresses to the interfaces.
[edit]
user@host# set interfaces ge-0/0/1 unit 0 family inet address 192.0.2.0/24
user@host# set interfaces ge-0/0/3 unit 0 family inet address 198.51.100.0/24
- Configure security zones trustZone and untrustZone and assign interfaces
to them.
[edit]
user@host# set security zones security-zone trustZone host-inbound-traffic system-services all
user@host# set security zones security-zone trustZone host-inbound-traffic protocols all
user@host# set security zones security-zone trustZone interfaces ge-0/0/1.0
user@host# set security zones security-zone untrustZone host-inbound-traffic system-services all
user@host# set security zones security-zone untrustZone host-inbound-traffic protocols all
user@host# set security zones security-zone untrustZone interfaces ge-0/0/3.0
- Configure security policies from untrustZone to trustZone.
[edit]
user@host# set security policies from-zone untrustZone to-zone trustZone policy policy1 match source-address any
user@host# set security policies from-zone untrustZone to-zone trustZone policy policy1 match destination-address any
user@host# set security policies from-zone untrustZone to-zone trustZone policy policy1 match application any
user@host# set security policies from-zone untrustZone to-zone trustZone policy policy1 then permit
user@host# set security policies default-policy deny-all
- Configure the security screen option and attach it to
the untrustZone.
[edit]
user@host# set security screen ids-option untrustScreen ip tear-drop
user@host# set security zones security-zone untrustZone screen untrustScreen
user@host# set security screen ids-option untrustScreen alarm-without-drop
- Configure syslog.
[edit]
user@host# set system syslog file syslog any any
user@host# set system syslog file syslog archive size 10000000
user@host# set system syslog file syslog explicit-priority
user@host# set system syslog file syslog structured-data
user@host# set security policies from-zone untrustZone to-zone trustZone policy policy1 then log session-init
user@host# set security policies from-zone untrustZone to-zone trustZone policy policy1 then log session-close
- Commit the configuration.
