Discussion

Multiple TippingPoint IPS Malformed Packet Detection Bypass Vulnerability

TippingPoint IPSs are prone to a detection-bypass vulnerability because these appliances fail to properly handle malformed network packets.

A successful exploit of this issue may allow an attacker to bypass the filter and detection system of vulnerable appliances, allowing all traffic through without inspection. This will likely aid in further attacks.

Reports indicate that TippingPoint IPSs with TOS version 2.2.3.6514 and prior are vulnerable.
