Thanks for all of your responses... but 1) I don't really need the consultants replys saying that you will fix my problems for $100/hour. 2) This isn't the BIND 8.x.x problem for getting root. For this reason : interface Loopback10 ip address 209.115.17.65 255.255.255.224 ip access-group 113 out Its rather difficult to get BIND to run on a Cisco 7507, although some people probably have tried to get it to work. We are viewing this from a cisco router with an access-list that basically looks like this : access-list 113 permit ip any any log Example of the udp port 0 attack : list 113 permitted udp 38.9.202.2(0) -> 209.115.17.67(0), 1 packet list 113 permitted udp 194.66.96.2(0) -> 209.115.17.67(0), 1 packet list 113 permitted udp 199.191.128.106(0) -> 209.115.17.67(0), 1 packet list 113 permitted udp 194.62.44.10(0) -> 209.115.17.66(0), 1 packet Example of the DNS (53) attack : list 113 permitted udp 207.150.3.11(53) -> 209.115.17.66(53), 121 packets list 113 permitted udp 203.77.1.1(53) -> 209.115.17.67(53), 1 packet list 113 permitted udp 194.62.44.10(53) -> 209.115.17.67(53), 2 packets list 113 permitted udp 194.66.96.2(53) -> 209.115.17.67(53), 91 packets An interesting thing to note is who ever programed this attack used the same IP addresses in a round robin type fashion for both (or maybe it is just selectable in the DoS, who knows).

Don't know if it is just me. But over the last 10 hours we have been seeing attacks on port 0 from port 0 (both tcp and udp) on several clients networks. I have also seen the same attack on port udp 53(DNS).
Anyone have any information on this?

While I realize that this issue may not yet be "ripe", as I the folks involved (myself and at least three other sites) have not yet firmly established just *exactly* what is going on here, but...
There appears to be some kind of exploit making the rounds that utilizes TCP packets from port "0" (yes, that's *zero*) to the IMAP port, 143. These packet traces are right now available only as historical log entries that are *loosely* associated with 2 successful "root" attacks against IMAP enabled servers, an unsuccessful attack against another (ours), and the possible compromise of another.
In short, I dont know a lot, other than in the course of reviewing my daily logs, I saw a couple of freaky packets (above) addressed to my nameservers (both of them). They were rejected and logged at the routers, however, as a common courtesy, we notified the admin of the "sending" machine that they had a sick box. As it developed, this person had recieved other emails regarding this from other admins, 2 of which had suffered the successful attacks mentioned above - all of us seeing the originating machine as the same box. It is unknown if the source address was spoofed.
Basically, I think this is just a "common-cause" warning to look out for weird packets of this nature, and to take notice if you see any.
Rather than keep a running blow-by-blow going on the various lists, please address anything regarding this to me directly...
