Threat I.O.LoH.3

URI: I.O.LoH.3

Package: NetworkConnectivity

< prev | next >

Description: Adjacent DoS attack on Host from LogicalSubnet: an attacker with access to Layer 2 subnet LogicalSubnet sends too many messages to the hardware address of a target device Host connected to that subnet.

Threat Type: Primary Threat

Matching Pattern:

MP-LoH

Finds a Host in a context where it is connected to a Layer 2 Logical Subnet, and the associated network interface, plus all contexts where it is connected to the same subnet (there may be others), and optionally the host manager.

Triggers Secondary Threats (2)

I.A.I.0

Effect of overload at interface Interface: if the interface Interface is overloaded it may become unavailable.

P.O.PILSsSC.0

Service Service running on host SHost overloaded by messages from LogicalSubnet: if the interface between SHost and LogicalSubnet is overloaded, and service Service is listening for client messages on that interface, then the overload also affects Service.
