Multiple Vendor Spoofed IGMP Report Denial Of Service Vulnerability
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) specifies guidelines for the management of Internet Multicast Routing management. An arbitrary host may deny service to a system on the same segment of network. In a situation where a multicast router sends a membership report request, a host sending a unicast membership report response to the primary responder can prevent the responder from sending a message to the multicast router. In doing so, the router will not receive a response from any host, and thus the transmission will timeout and cease. This vulnerability may additionally affect other operating systems, though it is currently unknown which implementations may be vulnerable. |
