New attack leaks VPN traffic using rogue DHCP servers

HI All

 

A new attack dubbed "TunnelVision" can route traffic outside a VPN's encryption tunnel, allowing attackers to snoop on unencrypted traffic while maintaining the appearance of a secure VPN connection.

The method, described in detail in a report by Leviathan Security, relies on the abuse of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol's (DHCP) option 121, which permits the configuration of classless static routes on a client's system.

The attackers set up a rogue DHCP server that alters the routing tables so that all VPN traffic is sent straight to the local network or a malicious gateway, never entering the encrypted VPN tunnel.
