Required Configuration for Exploitation
In order to be vulnerable to CVE-2023-24510, the following condition must be met:
- – At least two “ip helper-address” commands for the DHCP server are configured on the same interface.
- – Scenario One:
- – One command uses “source-interface”, with or without being in a VRF.
- – The second command does not use a source-interface and does not use a VRF.
- – Scenario Two:
- – One command is run inside of a VRF.
- – The second command does not use a source-interface and does not use a VRF.
The below configuration sample shows two VLAN interfaces which will be exposed to the issue:
interface Vlan11 ip helper-address 100.1.1.2 [vrf blue] source-interface Loopback1 ip helper-address 50.1.1.2 interface Vlan12 ip helper-address 100.1.1.2 vrf blue ip helper-address 50.1.1.2
Indicators of Compromise
The impact of this vulnerability is that the DHCP relay agent would restart.
The following message will appear in “show logging” to indicate the restart:
Apr 27 03:30:59 switch ProcMgr-worker: %PROCMGR-6-PROCESS_RESTART: Restarting 'DhcpRelay' immediately (it had PID=4107) Apr 27 03:30:59 switch ProcMgr-worker: %PROCMGR-7-PREDECESSOR_WAITING: New instance of DhcpRelay (PID=5103): waiting for reaping of predecessor (PID=4107) Apr 27 03:30:59 switch ProcMgr-worker: %PROCMGR-7-PREDECESSOR_GONE: New instance of DhcpRelay (PID=5103): predecessor (PID=4107) has been reaped.
