- →CVE-2021-24074 is triggered by two IPv4 fragments where the first has the Security Options (Type 130) field, followed by a second fragment with either the Loose Source and Record Route (LSRR) option (Type 131) or the Strict Source and Record Route (SSRR) option (Type 137). Detect/block IPv4 packets carrying LSRR or SSRR options. ↗
- →Monitor/drop IPv4 packets with Malformed, Strict Source Routing, and Loose Source Routing IP options at the network perimeter; these are the specific packet types used to exploit CVE-2021-24074. ↗
- →Use PAN-OS flow counters flow_dos_pf_badoption, flow_dos_pf_strictsource to detect IPv4 packets being dropped due to malformed or source-routing options associated with CVE-2021-24074 exploitation attempts. ↗
- →The exploit involves out-of-bound read and write during reassembly of IP fragments with confused options fields; network sensors should flag fragmented IPv4 traffic carrying source routing options. ↗
- ·The workaround command 'netsh int ipv4 set global sourceroutingbehavior=drop' causes the system to drop source routing requests entirely without processing; default Windows behavior is 'dontforward' which still processes and returns an ICMP denial. Changing this may affect legitimate traffic that relies on source routing responses. ↗
- ·The IPv6 reassembly limit workaround (reassemblylimit=0) drops all out-of-order packets and may cause packet loss in environments with legitimate fragmented IPv6 traffic; testing before production deployment is recommended. ↗
- ·Host-based firewalls do not provide sufficient protection for the related IPv6 DoS vulnerability (CVE-2021-24086); an edge device such as a firewall or load balancer must be used to block IPv6 fragmentation. ↗
- ·Snort rules 57103, 57104, 57106-57108, 57123, and 57128 cover multiple February 2021 Patch Tuesday vulnerabilities collectively, not exclusively CVE-2021-24074; additional rules may be released and current rules are subject to change. ↗
