> 
> I.   Background
> 
> IPv6 provides a routing header option which allows a packet sender to
> indicate how the packet should be routed, overriding the 
> routing knowledge
> present in a network.  This functionality is roughly equivalent to the
> "source routing" option in IPv4.  All nodes in an IPv6 network -- both
> routers and hosts -- are required by RFC 2640 to process such headers.
> 
> II.  Problem Description
> 
> There is no mechanism for preventing IPv6 routing headers 
> from being used
> to route packets over the same link(s) many times.
> 
> III. Impact
> 
> An attacker can "amplify" a denial of service attack against 
> a link between
> two vulnerable hosts; that is, by sending a small volume of 
> traffic the
> attacker can consume a much larger amount of bandwidth between the two
> vulnerable hosts.
> 
> An attacker can use vulnerable hosts to "concentrate" a 
> denial of service
> attack against a victim host or network; that is, a set of 
> packets sent
> over a period of 30 seconds or more could be constructed such 
> that they
> all arrive at the victim within a period of 1 second or less.
> 
> Other attacks may also be possible.
> 
> IV.  Workaround
> 
> No workaround is available.
> 
> V.   Solution
> 
> NOTE WELL: The solution described below causes IPv6 type 0 
> routing headers
> to be ignored.  Support for IPv6 type 0 routing headers can 
> be re-enabled
> if required by setting the newly added 
> net.inet6.ip6.rthdr0_allowed sysctl
> to a non-zero value.
> 
> Perform one of the following:
> 
> 1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to 5-STABLE, or 6-STABLE, or to the
> RELENG_6_2, RELENG_6_1, or RELENG_5_5 security branch dated after the
> correction date.
> 
> 2) To patch your present system:
> 
> The following patches have been verified to apply to FreeBSD 5.5, 6.1,
> and 6.2 systems.
> 
> a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the
> detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.
> 
> # fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-07:03/ipv6.patch
> # fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-07:03/ipv6.patch.asc
> 
> b) Apply the patch.
> 
> # cd /usr/src
> # patch < /path/to/patch
> 
> c) Recompile your kernel as described in
> <URL:http://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html> and reboot the
> system.

> VI.  Correction details
> 
> The following list contains the revision numbers of each file that was
> corrected in FreeBSD.
