Readme
# CVE-2020-11881
## MikroTik SMB Remote Denial of Service (DoS)

This report describes CVE-2020-11881, an unauthenticated remote DoS for MikroTik's SMB service running on RouterOs.
The vulnerability allows an attacker to crash the running SMB service and was
responsible disclosed to [security<__@__>mikrotik.com](mailto:security<__@__>mikrotik.com) on 06.04.2020.

The Server Message Block (SMB) protocol was introduced by Microsoft and reimplemented by multiple vendors in order to
maintain file exchange compatibility to Windows systems and services.
The protocol in general is used for file exchange between Windows systems.

## Affected Versions(tested)

- 6.41.3 (long term release)
- 6.45.8 (long term release)
- 6.45.9 (long term release)

- 6.46.4 (stable release)
- 6.47.2 (stable)
- 6.47.3 (stable)

- 7.0beta5 (beta)
- 7.1beta2 and below

Probably more versions released before 12.09.2020 are affected. With the exception of version 6.47.0, which seems to be fixed for one release cycle as response to the initial responsible disclosure process.


## The SMB Vulnerability
The SMB server will crash after receiving a `negotiation-request` packet followed by a modified `setup-request` packet.
In order to trigger the vulnerability, the `setup-request` packet needs to have the MessageID field set to 1 and the
SessionID field set to 0. The service crashes since it apparently can't handle the SessionID field.


## Reproducing the Bug
In order to reliably reproduce the bug, please rebuild the used test environment provided in this repo.

   1. Download and start the RouterOs environment.

        Please execute the following script on a fresh installed version of
        Ubuntu 18.04, since *the script will install all required software*.
        The script ends by providing the IP of the RouterOs VM.

        ```bash
        sudo ./setupMikroTikEnvironment.sh
        ```
   2. Enable SMB on RouterOs

        Run the following commands to activate the SMB service.

        ```bash
        telnet <RouterOs IP>
        (user: admin, <no password>)
        ip smb set enabled=yes
        ip smb print
        ```
        The service can be checked manually from the host system with the following command and should respond
        wiht `Anonymous login successful` as long the service is running.

        ```bash
        smbclient -N -L \\\\<RouterOs IP>
        ```

   3. The denial of service attack

        The python3 script `cve-2020-11881.py` validates the availability of the SMB service before and after the
        exploitation process. A successful execution will end up with the unavailability of the SMB service.
        Please execute the script as shown below.

        ```python
        python3 cve-2020-11881.py --ip <RouterOs Ip>
        ```

        Testing the SMB service with the following command will fail.

        ```bash
        smbclient -N -L \\\\<RouterOs IP>
        ```


   4. Remove VM

        In order to remove the VM just run the script again.

        ```bash
        sudo ./setupMikroTikEnvironment.sh
        ```
## Fix

The bug was reported on 06.04.2020 and wasn't fixed on 12.09.2020 even after multiple requests.

```
Currently only the long-term version channel (v6.46.7) has all the necessary fixes for this CVE. We are working on getting them published in stable and testing channels as well. Sorry for any inconvenience.
