Threat actors have discovered a way to bounce and amplify junk web traffic against Citrix ADC networking equipment to launch DDoS attacks.<\/p>\n

While details about the attackers are still unknown, victims of these Citrix-based DDoS attacks have mostly included online gaming services, such as Steam and Xbox, sources have told ZDNet earlier today.<\/p>\n

The first of these attacks have been detected last week and documented by German IT systems administrator Marco Hofmann<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hofmann tracked the issue to the DTLS interface on Citrix ADC devices.<\/p>\n

DTLS, or Datagram Transport Layer Security<\/a>, is a more version of the TLS protocol implemented on the stream-friendly UDP transfer protocol, rather than the more reliable TCP.<\/p>\n

Just like all UDP-based protocols, DTLS is spoofable and can be used as a DDoS amplification vector.<\/p>\n

What this means is that attackers can send small DTLS packets to the DTLS-capable device and have the result returned in a many times larger packet to a spoofed IP address (the DDoS attack victim).<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

How many times the original packet is enlarged determines the amplification factor of a specific protocol. For past DTLS-based DDoS attacks, the amplification factor was usually 4 or 5 times the original packet.<\/p>\n

But, on Monday, Hofmann reported that the DTLS implementation on Citrix ADC devices appears to be yielding a whopping 35, making it one of the most potent DDoS amplification vectors.<\/p>\n

Citrix confirms issue<\/h3>\n

Earlier today, after several reports, Citrix has also confirmed the issue<\/a> and promised to release a fix after the winter holidays, in mid-January 2020.<\/p>\n

The company said it’s seen the DDoS attack vector being abused against “a small number of customers around the world.”<\/p>\n

The issue is considered dangerous for IT administrators, for costs and uptime-related issues rather than the security of their devices.<\/p>\n

As attackers abuse a Citrix ADC device, they might end up exhausting its upstream bandwidth, creating additional costs and blocking legitimate activity from the ADC.<\/p>\n

Until Citrix readies officials mitigations, two temporary fixes have emerged.<\/p>\n

The first is to disable the Citrix ADC DTLS interface if not used. <\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

Citrix ADC<\/p>\n

If you are impacted by this attack you can disable DTLS to stop it. Disabling the DTLS protocol will lead to limited performance degradation, a short freeze and to a fallback.<\/p>\n

Run following CLI command on Citrix ADC: 
set vpn vserver <vpn_vserver_name> -dtls OFF https:\/\/t.co\/Tpdnp8k9y3<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Thorsten E. (@endi24) December 24, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

If the DTLS interface is needed, forcing the device to authenticate incoming DTLS connections is recommended, although it may degrade the device’s performance as a result.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

If you are making use of Citrix ADC and have enabled DTLS\/EDT (UDP via port 443) you might need to run this command: “set ssl dtlsProfile nsdtls_default_profile -helloVerifyRequest ENABLED”. This will prevent you from future UDP amplification attacks. #NetScaler<\/a> #CitrixADC<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Anton van Pelt (@AntonvanPelt) December 21, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

\n
\n
\n

Actually the vast majority of deploys will become unstable with that. To be safe until January, better block UDP.<\/p>\n
