*) ipsec - fixed "sa-src-address" deduction from "src-address" in tunnel mode;
Can you please share what was the issue and what is the fixed behaviour?
I am using alot of IPSec in 6.42.6 and having no issues, I'm just wondering what has changed before I alter a working environment
Thanks for the great work

When adding (or importing) a new IPsec policy it automatically used src-address to calculate sa-src-address if it was not specified in tunnel mode, which is not correct. E.g.
/ip ipsec policy add dst-address=192.168.1.0/24 sa-dst-address=10.155.107.5 sa-src-address=0.0.0.0 src-address=10.155.107.6 tunnel=yes


Created:
 1     src-address=10.155.107.6/32 src-port=any dst-address=192.168.1.0/24 dst-port=any protocol=all action=encrypt level=require ipsec-protocols=esp tunnel=yes sa-src-address=10.155.107.6 sa-dst-address=10.155.107.5 proposal=default ph2-count=0

Seems that new workaround option:

Does not prevent users to connect and so far everything works well for us ...

Hi Emils,
Thanks for the responce, Am I correct in saying the corrected behaviour is that if the sa-src-address=0.0.0.0 is used, It will now take the ip address of the outbound interface(Interface with the route to the ipsec peer/sa-dst-address)
Thanks

upgraded RB751-2HnD and RB2011UiAS-2HnD no dramas. I'll be interested in removing the PMKID and see what happens.

edit: removed PMKID and still here so who needs PMKID anyway?

Hi updated a CRS328-24p-4S+ (Arm) from v6.42.6 -> v6.42.7 and all the weird problems are gone for us so far.

We can disable interfaces again without other interface being effected aswell and trunk interfaces toward other switches keep working after the update and reboot.

Thansk for fixing this!

Does this really fix multipoint Wireless Wire disconnects? I’m reluctant to try as rc56 still had issues.

That's for WiFi. WiGig changes are under w60, which yes, they said they were fixed, but I've seen plenty of current and rc releases where that wasn't the case.
I decided to gave 6.42.7 a go on a 2 station multipoint setup, and while the links flapped for 10 minutes, they've been stable ever since. Hopefully it stays this way for a very long time :-D

I once painted myself in the corner by upgrading 2 CCR1009 routers before noticing that further upgrades were impossible due to reduced diskspace, and now I am a little more careful because it took a lot of convincing on the forum before a fix package was released that would solve the problem without doing netinstall... and even that I installed too quickly on one of them. (getting rescued only by the fallback to second partition)

How did you upgrade 300 devices?
Script / tool? Or manual 1 by 1 ?

After upgrading to 6.42.7, my CRS328-24P-4S+ logs increased CPU temperature from SNMP readouts. The attached graph shows a significant change in CPU temperature after upgrading (at around 23:00). The switch's CPU load (also from SNMP) has not increased.

Were there any changes to the SNMP output for this unit, not mentioned in the changelog? It could look like the temperature of the board was previously listed as CPU temperature.

After the update, cloud stopped working for me. Ip address is updated in cloud, and if ping is done, the answer comes from the old address. If you install RC, the problem immediately goes away. I had to switch to the script.

Forgot to specify the model hap ac2.
The time between updating the cloud and checking ping was about 1 hour.

I upgraded a RB1100 AH4 last night, It mostly went ok,
The only issue was on reboot none of the ipsec tunnel came back, when I checked IPSec packets weren't even leaving as claimed to be trying to establish!! A second reboot and all the tunnels came up.
The take away being if you depend on IPSec to access the device maybe have a backup plan in this case

CRS326-24G-2S+ also seems to be running high temp's, cant say what it was before as it is a new installation done last night, has 6.42.7 installed last night
This is in an air conditioned server room

After upgrading to 6.42.7, my CRS328-24P-4S+ logs increased CPU temperature from SNMP readouts. [...]

Tried downgrading to 6.42.6, and CPU temperature is shown as 8-10 degrees lower than with 6.42.7 - both in System -> Health and with SNMP.


6.42.7 before downgrade:

Downgraded to 6.42.6:

Why did 2 fans appear in the last print?
For some reason, fan speed is only shown in "System Health" when the fans are running. So during the last screenshot the fans were running, but in the other two the fans were off.

A curious side effect of this is that (at least with Linux and Wine) the "System Health" window will grow bigger when the two fan speeds are shown, and go back to a smaller window when the fans don't run - so the window will not only change size multiple times, but also change its position in Winbox. After some time, I will usually find the "System Health" window in the upper left corner of Winbox :-)

Re: v6.42.7 [current] is released!

Found a smal bug that should be fixed.

In GUI name "Tools" is used.
In CLI it is used "tool"

Using same name helps to navigate when using both interface CLI and GUI

Other strange thing.
In GUI Bridge has its own main menu.
In CLI its under Interface/Bridge
Why these differences?`

Is there any indication of the attack surface of "vulnerabilities CVE-2018-1156, CVE-2018-1157, CVE-2018-1158, CVE-2018-1159"?
What kind of installations would be directly at risk and require quick updates?
(e.g. admin service ports open on internet, certain types of VPN service open on internet, any configuration with internet connection, etc)

Posted in wrong thread, should be in the Winbox thread.
PS it does not make it simpler to not have equal name and stricture.

Were these security fixes stealthily added to the v6.42.7 patch notes? I don't recall seeing them there before and I didn't update since it didn't look like a necessary update. It's very bad that details aren't available even though the fixed version is published. It doesn't take much effort to compare the 6.42.6 vs 6.42.7 binaries and figure out where the exploits were and start attacking them. Hopefully this is just a fix of long standing security bugs like lack of certificate validation in numerous places.

@R1CH: Yes, it was not here. Probably they needed to wait for 6.40.9 to ne released too. The the information was added to both.
I do not see problem to release more information later. Maybe it is about to give people some time to upgrade before releasing details.

@chechito: Are you serious with your question ????

Well, the problem I have is that I now need to update many routers because they may be vulnerable and taken over tomorrow, and then
when further details emerge it may be that we are not using the vulnerable feature or have the proper firewalling.
So I would have appreaciated some summary of attack surface as I requested above. It would save me a night of overtime.

Right, it is legitimate request. In my case this does not impact me, but with bigger amount of devices it is problematic and risky.
If it is serious then better to say 'upgrade', details will follow later or release the details immediately.

Think logically,
1) release versions in all channels with the fixes
2) wait for initial customer feedback to be double sure that version doesn't contain unexpected surprizes and is stable, in case quick fix release needed
3) release information about security issues

i personally don't see anything wrong there.

No, this is because CVE entries were only made after the fixes were released.
Tenable allows vendors to fix issues and release the fixed versions, before they advertise discovered issues.
We could not add non-existing CVE numbers into the changelog.

Well you guys did want a security blog and more awareness. Now you complain that the issues are not serious enough :D We will try to find a balance.
I hope you understand that when you post a new version AND update the bugfix version at the same time, mentioning 4 security issues that have no description, the users get a bit nervous and assume that an update is urgently required.
I asked for the attack surface, you could have replied "issues in the webserver exploitable by authenticated users" and I would have known that it is not urgent for me to update, and I could have waited until more details became known.
But as the issue was completely unknown and it could well have been in ISAKMP, SSTP, PPP or whatever, I decided to work overtime to update everything.

So indeed it would be welcome when it was a little more clear what is going on.

The issue is you need to provide a little more information please. Adding the CVSS score would be useful, along with information about mitigations (firewall rules!) that, in this case, are most likely already in place.

Listing CVEs without any other information leads to speculation about a possible remote vulnerability leading to compromised devices, and therefore excess panic as admins update without knowing what they're updating.

Tenable allows vendors to fix issues and release the fixed versions, before they advertise discovered issues.
We could not add non-existing CVE numbers into the changelog.
I think the normally preferred procedure is to create CVE numbers and keep them nondescript until fixes are released.
And as the CVE entries are currently in that state, and were created in December 2017, I would assume this is how it went.
It looks like a lack of communication from Tenable, they should have told you what CVE numbers they had created for the issue.

Yes, we only got them yesterday. I assume they have reserved a huge block of blank CVE numbers, because these issues were not discovered in december, but more recently.

This is bad. I check for updates every day on this forum. The day this release was posted, I read the full changelog and there was nothing of concern to update all my routers immediately.

AFTER the fact they edit the release notes to include a security fix. And then they complain that users don't read the changelogs or update their routers.

This is absurd! I don't care when they found out about it. Which doesn't make sense. Normis claims they only found about it yesterday, but had already released a patch on Augusth the 17th?
They should have made it crystal clear that there is a security patch on this release or release a new .8 version just to mention this security fix (even if it was already on .7).

I DID my due diligence and checked the changelog the same day it got released. What am I supposed to do now? Check everyday if they EDIT the damn changelogs?
If I didn't - by accident - check this thread today, I wouldn't have known that there's a security fix.

Once again, Mikrotik cannot handle simple stuff the way the rest of the industry handles it.
And it shows once again that each update may contain more changes than what the changelog says.
I say this because they always categorically refuse that there are more changes than what the changelog says. Which is obviously NOT true.

On the one hand, it's good that there's a lot of attention on Mikrotik security (we get real fixes and not useless features). But on the other hand, Mikrotik cannot seem to handle the spotlight. Not one bit.

So 6.42.7 does NOT contain a fix? Because the build time is Aug/17/2018 09:48:44.

The company that discovered the issue HAD NOT PUBLISHED IT at that point, so there is no difference if you update yesterday or tomorrow. Nobody knows about the issue and can't exploit it, it is very specific. They ask that we do not mention it in our release notes until they publish it themselves.

Actually in the RC release chain, it was fixed a few weeks ago already, but we were not allowed to disclose this information. This is common practice in these situations.

I believe @normis when he's saying Tenable denied Mikrotik to advertise details (including CVE numbers). However I have hard time to believe Mikrotik could not vaguely mention the fixes.

Right now, change log contains line
!) security - fixed vulnerabilities CVE-2018-1156, CVE-2018-1157, CVE-2018-1158, CVE-2018-1159;
but I believe initially could contain a line like this:
!) security - fixed vulnerabilities in WebFig service where already authenticated user could cause service to crash
More details are not needed, but most administrators would be able to assess if they need to upgrade their devices or not.

Personally, these vulnerabilities affect half of my devices ... and until word about fixed vulnerabilities came around, I upgraded 3/4 of my devices, but not all affected. Sigh.

Hi Normis,

Thank you for all information.
Just one more question:

In the blog says "CVE-2018-1159: www memory corruption, if connections are initiated and not properly cleaned up then a heap corruption occurs in www."

In this CVE decription it does not say anything about being authenticated.
Do I have to be authenticated to exploit failure CVE-2018-1159?

Regards,

Lyma

Bricked a wAP AC by installing this from 6.36 / 6.37 (wasn't paying close attention to the old version). Rebooted and ethernet is constantly cycling link / no-link, no netinstall, no backup loader. RMA time it seems.

Be careful if upgrading from older versions!

In our network we have one RB 3011 that works as a Load Balance and in this routerboard we have one DHCP server on one interface and it stoped working as well after applying 6.42.7. It was installed on top of 6.40.8. Downgraded it to 6.40.8 and then updated it to 6.40.9 and everything is working fine again.

Please follow the steps mentioned in the change log to let MikroTik fix this issue asap:
I've seen crashed www service on my ARM-based device as well. Already sent supout.rif to support a few days ago. I'm waiting for any response (other thant automated response text). During crash, that service consumes 100% of CPU which is not a huge problem on my hAP ac2 with 4 CPU cores.

I'm not sure if www service crashes also on MIPSBE devices as it seems to happen only when service is in use and I've yet to use WebFig on MIPSBE devices. I'll try to avoid that as 100% CPU usage on single-core device could cause all other functions (such as routing) performance drop to nothing.

I hope you understand that when you post a new version AND update the bugfix version at the same time, mentioning 4 security issues that have no description, the users get a bit nervous and assume that an update is urgently required.
I asked for the attack surface, you could have replied "issues in the webserver exploitable by authenticated users" and I would have known that it is not urgent for me to update, and I could have waited until more details became known.
But as the issue was completely unknown and it could well have been in ISAKMP, SSTP, PPP or whatever, I decided to work overtime to update everything.

So indeed it would be welcome when it was a little more clear what is going on.

Normis, don't let them annoy you. This is great progress! And I really love that we finally got CVE numbers!

lhg 60 have a fixed rssi now, its not changing anymore. that's ok for already mounted aligned links, but it will make mounting new links more complicated. its obviously only measured once shortly after connecting.

the fluktuations are 6.42.6, the line is 6.42.7. the single movement was a reconnect. link ist 1514 m distance, but same thing with shorter links

It looks like the default routerboot boot mode has changed from "nand if fail then ethernet" to "try-ethernet-once-then-nand".
This wasn't mentioned in the release note. However, I think it is a good idea, I already set difficult-to-access devices that way.
Advantage: you can netinstall a device by powercycling it while connected to a computer with running netinstall, without having to fiddle with the button.
(which can be very tricky when the device is mounted on a tower)

1. please don't put questions not related to a specific release into the release topic
2. make sure you use a simple computer without lots of other programs on it, and make sure you are administrator.

2. You are killing your router by Sector Writes, maybe logging on disc? Check your config, stop it! :)
3. You can try netinstall, helped me to recover bad blocks, just give it a try

That's the reason:

Try removing the duplicate package.

Try it with a very old netinstall, which has been released before EOL declared on MIPSLE branch, about at version 5.26.

Hello!

Upgraded my "wAP LTE kit" (RBwAPR-2nD&R11e-LTE) from v6.42.6, and the LTE stopped working!
The interface is up, and the "Status" information seems to be ok like before, however no traffic nor acquiring external IP address.
Downgraded to v6.42.6 and everything is working fine again!

Best Regards

I have the same problem, noticed on 6.42.6 version. Seems to be only Winbox problem, in console and WebFig it's correct.

The same issue is on 6.43rc64

Downgrading to 6.40.9 is solution for this.

I upgraded during the weekend 1 hap ac (from 6.42.6) and 1 751G-2HnD (from 6.42.5 firmware 6.42.4, as I had forgotten one reboot). No problem in any of both.

In both I changed to "disable-pmkid=yes". No problem with wifi has been reported (and I warned the people in advance).

That's great news! It happens seldom, but I saw this myself several times. As I had no clue how to reproduce I did not yet mail the support.

We are aware of a specific IPsec issue caused by the new improved policy handling in 6.42.7. A fix is already available in the latest release candidate version and will be included in the next current version as well. Very sorry for inconvenience.

HTTP interface (with SSL) is also broken on RB3011. After rebooting, the interface dies again after a few minutes. Sometimes it causes high CPU load.

Just curious. Which version of Winbox do you use?
I have used older version with new firmware once and something like that happened to me.
SSH is always disabled on my routers so I didn't even try that.

I've a home setup with CCR1009 router, CRS125-24G switch and access points HAP AC 962UiGS & RB951G. Running CAPsMAN with controller at the CCR.

All devices on 6.42 firmware until I upgrade them to 6.42.7, at around 4pm 02 Sep. No other config change were made.

From my grafana graph, you can clearly see the transition before and after 4pm 02 Sep - my Apple devices' RX/TX rates seems capped around 300Mbps, while my sole Xiaomi phone seems not affected at below 500Mbps.

Hello,

The same thing happens to Kayu. Since I upgraded to v6.42.7 I can not access the routers, it indicates an incorrect username or password ...

I think the problem is for the admin user ... in some routers I only had this user configured and now I can not enter

Mikrotik any solution?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

The same thing happens to Kayu. Since I upgraded to v6.42.7 I can not access the routers, it indicates an incorrect username or password ...

I think the problem is for the admin user ... in some routers I only had this user configured and now I can not enter

He's got problems even to log in using ssh so it doesn't seem to be a Winbox-related issue.

@kayu, @XeviMB, it takes time for the ssh to generate a new key on the very first login attempt, and maybe a new one is generated after upgrade, so if you have tried to log in using ssh only once, try again now after some time has elapsed. But it is just a wild guess.

I can not enter by ssh...

It only happens to me in those routers that I have updated to v 6.42.7 and only have the admin user created

Mikrotik??

Did you have problem with other version than 6.42.7
Can you try a clean install and see if port goes up/down?

Hi guys,

I´ve tried remote upgrade into controlled environment (via package menu) on Ccr1009-8g-1s-1s+ from V6.28 to V6.42.7 and lost connectivity so something went bad.
The screen upgrade showed image dowloaded and it was rebooting after that nothing more and I can´t reconnect over VPN.
I´ll going to check on-site. Please any ideas?

Tks

You have made a too-big version upgrade, you should have installed some intermediate versions.

Thank you for your fast replay! I´ve checked RN and the community and see nothing related minimum version that is because I proceed. The best I found is here below.

Before an upgrade:
1) Remember to make backup/export files before an upgrade and save them on another storage device;
2) Make sure the device will not lose power during upgrade process;
3) Device has enough free storage space for all RouterOS packages to be downloaded.

The system should reboot back to previous version? Also, what I can do there --> Reboot? Reinstall version? Reset the entire box?
What should be the GOLD steps in order to recovery as fast we can and upgrade this in safe mode?
Should I upgrade the mother-board too? Before or after de system upgrade?

By now the only thing you likely can do is netinstall and reconfigure.
You COULD have repartitioned the device into 2 partitions and copy the old version so you could revert back
But that is too late now.

Tks for your support here!
To be honest here I´m frustrated due I never saw a software upgrade crash the entire system it doesn´t make any sense nowadays.
Also, netinstall as unique option who requests a entire new deploymment...it´s frustrating... Of course I´m going to use config backups but it should never damage and crash the ENTIRE system like this.
I was looking for some other paths before appeal for something radical. Netconfig is limitted due it´s mandatory Windows PC and we use only Macbooks so another issue here.
I would recommend someone update ASAP the RN/upgrade notes informing minimumm supported versions upgrades.
Please, do you know what´s the minimum supported version in order to go to v6.42.7?
Also please who knows about mother-board upgrade X system upgrade? Any docs?
Thanks for your attention I really appreciate!

If it's any help, I have succeeded doing a couple of netinstalls using Windows running in a virtual machine on a Mac.
So basically you could take a trial of VMware, install W10 in it as a trial, recover your router and then get rid of the hypervisor and windows without spending a dime.

Yes, make sense thank you for your contribution. The vendor should take care about this and create easily paths to do things. In this case I need to install Virtual environment + install entire OS just to be compliance to a limited netconfig..it doesn´t make any sense nowadays. Someone from the vendor (engineeer and product managers) must be reviewing that.
All of this is because there is a poor docs/new releases infos missing minimum or tested software version upgrade and also there is SPOF during upgrading process where the entire systems CRASH. Many others vendors roll-back automatically to previous version and at least give a console warning message please upgrade to x before that. It´s basic!
Anyway, thanks for your hint here!

As I already wrote, you could have had that! But on MikroTik it is a user-decision to yield half of the fash capacity to have version rollback.
See this: https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Partitions

In short: click on partition, select repartition, set number of partitions to 2.
The router will reboot and now instead of 128MB you will have 64MB of flash.
Go back to partition, select a partition and then "copy to", select the other partition.
Now you do your upgrade. When the router fails to boot, it will try boot from the other partition and you are back
in your old version, which you can copy again to try something else.

Apparently most users do not know that, and it is becoming less interesting as all new low-end routers do not have enough flash space to do this.
However, for your CCR it still was and is an option. I use it on the two CCRs I manage and it already has saved me.

@rjj

If you does not like it the way MikroTik do it, you can always go for another vendor like Cisco.
But it would be at a much higher cost.

Thanks for the tip and the link. It was crystal clear on your previous post even it's manually and limited to specific systems so I'm going to start and use when it's possible. From my point of view I highly recommend the vendor implement for all systems by default in order to avoid upgrades issues, downtimes, field hours and the most import eliminate the SPoF. It never should be a user decision in my opinion. Nowadays even 8 ports basic switchs support 2 images (primary-secondary) automatically managed. I really appreciate your time and tips! Tomorrow I'll be on-site fixing the issue.

I know my options so you don't need waste time to tell the obvious.
This is a serious reflection about troubleshooting, architecture and documentations.

Re: v6.42.7 [current] is released! ssh and winbox issue

Mon Sep 10, 2018 8:49 am

I just upgraded a new RB3011 from 6.40 to 6.42.7 and now find I can no longer ssh or winbox over a pptp link.

Confirmed by testing, then upgrading a second RB2011 from an older 6.3x to 6.42.7.

Torch shows inbound traffic but no outbound response.

Is this a new "security" measure?

Mark.
