BGP cross advertising
by Jessica Yu 23 Jul '92

23 Jul '92

Hi, folks: I posted the following notes a while a ago. We still see regionals' router which BGP with both T1 NSS and T3 ENSS advertsing routes learned from T3 back to T1 NSS and vice versa. The routes are useless and consumes a lot of (E)NSS's resource. Please stop it using the mechanism suggested below. Thanks! --Jessica

Access to BGP-speaking router?
by Vince Fuller 23 Jul '92

23 Jul '92

Can I impose on someone else who is running BGP from a cisco router to both the T1 and T3 backbones for temporary, non-enabled access to the cisco? I'd like to take a look at what BGP is seeing from another "perspective". Of course, I'd be happy to reciprocate with access to one of our routers. Thanks, --Vince

CERT ADVISORY - Multiple SunOS Vulnerabilities
by CERT Advisory 21 Jul '92

21 Jul '92

=========================================================================== CA-92:15 CERT Advisory July 21, 1992 Multiple SunOS Vulnerabilities Patched --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The CERT/CC (Computer Emergency Response Team/Coordination Center) has received information concerning several vulnerabilities in the Sun Microsystems, Inc. (Sun) operating system (SunOS). These vulnerabilities affect all architectures and supported versions of SunOS including 4.1, 4.1.1, and 4.1.2 on sun3, sun3x, sun4, sun4c, and sun4m. The patches have been released as upgrades to three existing patch files. Since application of these patches involves rebuilding your system kernel file (/vmunix), it is recommended that you apply all patches simultaneously. Use the procedure described below to apply the patches and rebuild the kernel. Sun has provided patches for these vulnerabilities as updates to Patch IDs 100173, 100376, and 100567. They are available through your local Sun Answer Centers worldwide as well as through anonymous ftp from the ftp.uu.net (137.39.1.9) system (in the /systems/sun/sun-dist directory). Fix Patch ID Filename Checksum NFS Jumbo 100173-08 100173-08.tar.Z 32716 562 Integer mul/div 100376-04 100376-04.tar.Z 12884 100 ICMP redirects 100567-02 100567-02.tar.Z 23118 13 Please note that Sun Microsystems sometimes updates patch files. If you find that the checksum is different please contact Sun Microsystems or CERT for verification. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NFS jumbo patch upgrade, SunOS 4.1, 4.1.1, 4.1.2, all architectures I. Description The upgrade to the NFS Jumbo patch addresses a vulnerability that allows an intruder to become root using NFS. This vulnerability affects all architectures and supported versions of SunOS. II. Impact A remote user may exploit this vulnerability to gain root access. III. Solution Extract the new files to be installed in the kernel. Install the patch files in /sys/`arch -k`/OBJ as described in the README file included in the patch file. Be sure to make a backup of each of the files you are replacing before moving the patched file to the /sys/`arch -k`/OBJ directory. Config, make, and install the new kernel to include all patches described in this advisory appropriate to your system. Reboot each host using the appropriate kernel. Refer to the Systems and Network Administration manual for instructions on building and configuring a new custom kernel. Integer mul/div patch upgrade, SunOS 4.1, 4.1.1, 4.1.2, SPARC architectures I. Description The integer mul/div patch upgrade addresses an additional problem with the integer multiplication emulation code on SPARC architectures that allows an intruder to become root. This vulnerability affects SPARC architectures (sun4, sun4c, and sun4m) for all supported versions of SunOS (4.1, 4.1.1, and 4.1.2). II. Impact A local user may exploit a bug in the emulation routines to gain root access or crash the system. III. Solution Extract the new files to be installed in the kernel. Note that this patch applies only to SPARC architectures. Install the patch files in /sys/`arch -k`/OBJ as described in the README file included in the patch file. Be sure to make a backup of each of the files you are replacing before moving the patched file to the /sys/`arch -k`/OBJ directory. Config, make, and install the new kernel to include all patches described in this advisory appropriate to your system. Reboot each host using the appropriate kernel. Refer to the Systems and Network Administration manual for instructions on building and configuring a new custom kernel. ICMP redirects patch upgrade, SunOS 4.1, 4.1.1, 4.1.2, all architectures I. Description The ICMP redirects patch addresses a denial of service vulnerability with SunOS that allows an intruder to close existing network connections to and from a Sun system. This vulnerability affects all Sun architectures and supported versions of SunOS. II. Impact A remote user may deny network services on a Sun system. III. Solution Extract the new file to be installed in the kernel (the patch is the same for all supported versions of SunOS). Install the patch files in /sys/`arch -k`/OBJ as described in the README file included in the patch file. Be sure to make a backup of each of the files you are replacing before moving the patched file to the /sys/`arch -k`/OBJ directory. Config, make, and install the new kernel to include all patches described in this advisory appropriate to your system. Reboot each host using the appropriate kernel. Refer to the Systems and Network Administration manual for instructions on building and configuring a new custom kernel. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The CERT/CC wishes to thank Helen Rose of the EFF, Gordon Irlam of the University of Adelaide, Wietse Venema of Eindhoven University, and Ken Pon at Sun Microsystems, Inc for their assistance. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you believe that your system has been compromised, contact CERT/CC or your representative in FIRST (Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams).

Everything you ever wanted to know about Merit's AS mail lists...
by skw 18 Jul '92

18 Jul '92

Hi. I've just appended some text to the template.as form (nis.nsf.net in the nsfnet/announced.networks directory). I thought I would send it along to the regional-techs list to help clarify the AS lists we maintain and how they are used. --Steve Widmayer Merit/NSFNET *********************************************************************** Explanation of Merit AS mail lists: For each AS, Merit maintains a techs-<number>@merit.edu list. This list includes all of the individuals who have been authorized by the AS to send add/change/delete requests on behalf of the AS to nsfnet-admin, as well as any other regional-techs for that AS or other individuals the AS would like on their list. example: techs-237: jyy(a)merit.edu The as<number>@merit.edu list is used by the Merit routing config operations group (and valid AS requestors from other sites) to expedite the mail handling of nsfnet-admin requests and inter-AS routing coordination issues between nsfnet-admin and the various AS site contacts. The as<number> list includes techs-<number>@merit.edu and nsfnet-admin(a)merit.edu. example: as237: techs-237(a)merit.edu, nsfnet-admin(a)merit.edu The as<number>@merit.edu lists are also members of the regional-techs@ merit.edu list. The regional-techs list is also a member of the nwg(a)merit.edu list. Merit also maintains an as<number>-trouble(a)merit.edu list for each AS. These are used mainly by the Merit NOC to: 1.-- Report problems to the AS that have been detected from monitoring the AS in the T1 and T3 backbone routing tables. 2.-- Report problems to the AS that have been detected from monitoring the pingability of active routers configured to peer with the T1 and T3 backbones. 3.-- Report to the AS routing/connectivity problems involving a network announced by the AS which has been reported to or detected by the Merit NOC. The as<number>-trouble(a)merit.edu list includes the techs<number> list plus nocroute(a)merit.edu (Merit NOC and IE staff who follow and track such problems), plus any other individuals or trouble notification groups which the AS would like added to this list. example: as237-trouble: techs-237(a)merit.edu nocroute(a)merit.edu, trouble(a)merit.edu Please send any AS mail list update requests to: regional-techs-request(a)merit.edu

Re: June Backbone Engineering Report

In response to your message, I thought it might be helpful to summarize the status of SNMP variable support for the various adapter technologies used in the RS/6000 based routers. The RS960 T3 (HSSI) adapter uses HDLC framing point-to-point. The destination MAC address on these links always begins with 0xFF03: 0xFF says that this is a "broadcast" packet, which means that I either want it to go to whomever is at the far end, or that I am taking advantage of the multidrop features in HDLC and I want everyone to get this (BTW, 03 says that this is a data packet). Strict interpretation of MIB-II directs that if the MAC address was broadcast, then the packet should be counted as non-unicast. And this is reflected in the IBM SNMP support for these adapters. For T960 cards, however, we count Unicast packets, since we are addressing a single station (they do not use HDLC framing). The following matrix provides a summary of SNMP support for each of the adapter types used in the RS/6000 based routers: inU outU inNU outNU inOct outOct InErr OutErr ==================================================================== T960 T1 | IN OUT 0 0 0 0 IN+OUT 0 | T960 Ethernet | U+B U+B 0 0 0 0 IN+OUT 0 | RS960 (all) | 0 0 IN OUT OK OK OK OK | ==================================================================== I do not have the matrix information for the current FDDI "Hawthorne" technolgy cards. But, they will soon be replaced by RS960 based FDDI cards for which the subagent will behave just as that of the RS960 T3 cards. -------------------- Returning to the specifics of Jian Li's report, the questioned MIB-II Interface counters are listed as follows: Ethernet: ifIndex = 3 ifInOctets = 0, ifOutOctet = 0 ifInUcastPkts = 816175323, ifOutUcastPkts = 964648059 ifInNUcastPkts = 0, ifOutNUcastPkts = 0 Comment: This interface must be a T960 card, which does not collect ifInOctets and ifOutOctets. The InUcastPkts and InNUcastPkts are collected in the counter ifInUcastPkts. The OutUcastPkts and OutNUcastPkts are collected in the counter ifOutUcastPkts. T3: ifIndex = 4 ifInOctets = 1532701256, ifOutOctets = 2614141685 ifInUcastPkts = 0, ifOutUcastPkts = 0 ifInNUcastPkts = 1033010978, ifOutNUcastPkts = 897328785 Comment: The packets are counted as NUcastPkts. -Ittai

June Backbone Engineering Report
by mak 15 Jul '92

15 Jul '92

Hi. This appeared in the Internet Monthly Report just sent around, but since some have indicated that they would also like to see a separate posting to the regional-techs list, here it is.... Mark ANSNET/NSFNET Backbone Engineering Report June 1992 Jordan Becker, ANS Mark Knopper, Merit becker(a)ans.net mak(a)merit.edu T3 Backbone Status ================== The T3 Backbone continued to run very reliably during June. With the completion of the RS/960 DS3 interface upgrade in May, the cutover of additional traffic from the T1 to the T3 network resumed in June and is proceeding as quickly as possible. The number of networks configured and announced to the T3 network continues to increase. Midlevel traffic cut over from the T1 to the T3 backbone included NorthWestNet, Sprint/International Connections Manager, and Alternet. The T3 backbone is now carrying nearly double the packet load of that of the T1 backbone. With the upgrade complete and the T3 network stable, several performance and functional enhancements have been administered during June. Improvements to the routing daemon and SNMP daemon were made. A remaining problem on the T3 network is the FDDI adapter performance and stability. Due to the complexity of the T3 adapter upgrade, we chose to defer the FDDI upgrade until August to ensure operational stability. Statistics on network traffic and configured networks ===================================================== The total inbound packet count for the T3 network was 10,736,059,912,up 29% from April. 220,593,003 of these packets entered from the T1 network. The total inbound packet count for the T1 network was 5,761,976,518, down 16.7% from May. 536,009,585 of these packets entered from the T3 network. The combined total inbound packet count for the T1 and T3 networks (less cross network traffic) was 15,741,433,842, up 0.9% from April. Currently there are 5801 IP networks configured in the policy routing database for the T1 network, and 3966 for the T3 network. Actual announced networks to the backbone varies and is currently 2750 for T3 and 4425 for T1. NOC Problem Reports =================== The number of problem reports that result in NOC trouble tickets (total all priority classes) for the T3 network remains constant at 10-20 per week, and for the T1 network it remains at the 15-20 rate per week. T1 Backbone Status ================== The T1 backbone's reliability is not as good as T3, due largely to increased route processing on the RCP nodes. The full load of routes is still being carried by these machines, and they are experiencing congestion and performance problems to some degree. Improvements have been made to the routing software to accomodate protocol upgrades (ie. BGP2). T3 Routing Daemon Software Status ================================= Activities related to the rcp_routed software in June emphasized correcting software problems involving routing instability, and monitoring & correcting routing table integrity problems. There were many bug fixes applied to the routing daemon over the last three months. Monitoring of routing integrity consists of data collection of the full netstat table to find route flapping problems within the backbone and within peer networks, BGP disconnect problems, and external network metric problems. Additional work is underway to collect full routing tables from backbone nodes to be processed using a relational database system. This system generates reports on the statistical use of primary routes, reliability of network announcements to the backbone, and long term statistics on inter-domain routing announcements and growth. A number of improvements and bug fixes have been made to the T3 routing software over the last two months. Highlights included: fix to allow an ENSS that is isolated from the backbone to stop announcing default to peers, better handling of router adapter failures, preventing overruns of external BGP messages sent to external peer routers, gracefully dropping bogus external routes to backbone ENSS nodes, correct response to external metric selection problem for nets announced at same metric from multiple peers, problem with interaction between BGP and EGP for peers in the same Autonomous System, hashing route table efficiency improvements, two routes with same AS path are now both installed to allow backup, BGP-2 PDU size increased from 1024 to 4096 bytes, route from BGP and EGP with same metric now prefers BGP route, better handling of next hop behind peer router and shared network, BGP update packet format fix, fix to BGP 1-2 version negotiation, eliminated chance of BGP disconnects during IGP transitions, eliminating BGP disconnects if peer router is too busy, better response to route instabilities upon failure of T1 interconnect or ENSS, and autorestart of the routing daemon in the event of a crash. As a result of the monitoring and analysis effort along with the actual software changes, reliability and route integrity has improved dramatically on the T3 network over the last month. RS/960 DS3 On-Card Memory Problem ================================= A batch of bad memory chips have been found to result in memory parity errors on a few interfaces. Five of these cards have been replaced as the problems have been identified. Diagnostic microcode has been developed to detect the problems in advance, and nodes are being scheduled for diagnostics to be run over the next few weeks during routing configuration update scheduled windows. DSU Synchronization and CRC/alignment Problem ============================================= A problem that causes logical link failures has been traced to a clock synchronization problem on the T3 Technologies DSU's during clock master/slave transitions. This problem occurs very infrequently and has been reproduced using a newly installed circuit on the T3 research network. Enhanced instrumentation has been added to detect this problem, and work is in progress to correct it. End-To-End Packet Loss Analysis =============================== Researchers at University of Maryland recently conducted some experiments and noticed periodic and random packet loss and packet duplicates when using the T3 network. There were two problems traced to a bridge device and an ethernet problem on the SURAnet ethernet. Peer router problems causing some packet loss during routing updates at NEARnet were identified and are being corrected. Also some packet loss on the T3 ENSS FDDI interface at Stanford was identified. This is due to an FDDI card output buffering problem and might be addressed prior to the FDDI upgrade in August. FDDI Adapter Upgrade ==================== Although the T3 adapters have been upgraded from older technology to the new RS960 adapter technology, the FDDI adapters in the ENSS nodes have not yet been upgraded. The older FDDI adapters continue to suffer from performance on reliability problems. The new RS960 FDDI adapter is scheduled to be installed as part of a field trial on July 20th. Following this field trial, we expect to upgrade the older FDDI interfaces with the new RS960 interface adapters in early August. There are currently five T3 ENSS sites that are using FDDI interfaces in production. SNMP Daemon Changes =================== A new version of the SNMP daemon for the T3 network was installed on June 26. This version supports MIB-II variables for the T/960 ethernet cards (ifInUcastPkts, ifOutUcastPkts, and ifInErrors), and also includes enhanced configuration support for monitoring T3 DSUs. A new SNMP client for the NOC to control the T1 Cylink ACSUs which are part of the T3 backbone has been implemented. This avoids use of a separate dial-in connection to these CSUs. New SNMP variables have been added to furthermonitor the DSU synchronization problem mentioned above.

Does this go any further to solve the problem with the cards not reporting those counters correctly? This was due to the fact the cards are switching packets and not reporting that fact to the cpu, which keeps the counters (I think that's a accurate summary of what I was told a bit ago). Thanks, Henry
