Quick summary of the problem: * From the description it appears to be a kernel-level issue - when a MikroTik device receives a magic IPv6 packet, it will panic. * MikroTik have known about it for almost a year, and have not fixed it. * It is not fixed in the latest 6.44.1 image * The discoverer has been trying to practice responsible disclosure, but has given up
Further things: * MikroTik HAVE acknowledged it in a new thread a couple of hours ago https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=147048#p723696 * Twitter thread from the guy who discovered it: https://twitter.com/maznu/status/1110910688623513601 * There's a comment 'The fix is in v7' - theres a long running joke that v7 will never emerge (it probably never will, they've lost most of their senior engineers, and refuse to open source their code to leverage their developers in the community) I guess the good thing for me is that Nexium still can't provide us IPv6 so we're kinda safe up here 8) --Rob On Fri, 29 Mar 2019 at 09:25, Cameron Murray <[email protected]> wrote: > Guys, > > This has just popped up on the Mikrotik forums that I am sure many on the > list need to be aware of. > > If you run Mikrotik in your network and have IPv6 on a Public facing > interface please check the following link: > https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=147076 > > Cheers > > Cameron > _______________________________________________ > AusNOG mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.ausnog.net/mailman/listinfo/ausnog >
