Summary
The ext3 code in Linux 2.4.x before 2.4.26 does not properly initialize journal descriptor blocks, which causes an information leak in which in-memory data is written to the device for the ext3 file system, which allows privileged users to obtain portions of kernel memory by reading the raw device.

NASL family Debian Local Security Checks NASL id DEBIAN_DSA-482.NASL description Several serious problems have been discovered in the Linux kernel. This update takes care of Linux 2.4.17 for the PowerPC/apus and S/390 architectures. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems that will be fixed with this update : - CAN-2004-0003 A vulnerability has been discovered in the R128 DRI driver in the Linux kernel which could potentially lead an attacker to gain unauthorised privileges. Alan Cox and Thomas Biege developed a correction for this. - CAN-2004-0010 Arjan van de Ven discovered a stack-based buffer overflow in the ncp_lookup function for ncpfs in the Linux kernel, which could lead an attacker to gain unauthorised privileges. Petr Vandrovec developed a correction for this. - CAN-2004-0109 zen-parse discovered a buffer overflow vulnerability in the ISO9660 filesystem component of Linux kernel which could be abused by an attacker to gain unauthorised root access. Sebastian Krahmer and Ernie Petrides developed a correction for this. - CAN-2004-0177 Solar Designer discovered an information leak in the ext3 code of Linux. In a worst case an attacker could read sensitive data such as cryptographic keys which would otherwise never hit disk media.

The data is not the file's contents, not something on the same filesystem, or even anything that was previously in a file at all. To obtain this data, a user needs to read the raw device (CVE-2004-0177). The same vulnerability was also found in the XFS filesystem code (CVE-2004-0133) and the JFS filesystem code (CVE-2004-0181).

NASL family Debian Local Security Checks NASL id DEBIAN_DSA-479.NASL description Several serious problems have been discovered in the Linux kernel. This update takes care of Linux 2.4.18 for the alpha, i386 and powerpc architectures. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems that will be fixed with this update : - CAN-2004-0003 A vulnerability has been discovered in the R128 DRI driver in the Linux kernel which could potentially lead an attacker to gain unauthorised privileges. Alan Cox and Thomas Biege developed a correction for this. - CAN-2004-0010 Arjan van de Ven discovered a stack-based buffer overflow in the ncp_lookup function for ncpfs in the Linux kernel, which could lead an attacker to gain unauthorised privileges. Petr Vandrovec developed a correction for this. - CAN-2004-0109 zen-parse discovered a buffer overflow vulnerability in the ISO9660 filesystem component of Linux kernel which could be abused by an attacker to gain unauthorised root access. Sebastian Krahmer and Ernie Petrides developed a correction for this. - CAN-2004-0177 Solar Designer discovered an information leak in the ext3 code of Linux. In a worst case an attacker could read sensitive data such as cryptographic keys which would otherwise never hit disk media.

NASL family Red Hat Local Security Checks NASL id REDHAT-RHSA-2005-293.NASL description Updated kernel packages that fix several security issues in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 kernel are now available. This security advisory has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system. The following security issues were fixed : The Vicam USB driver did not use the copy_from_user function to access userspace, crossing security boundaries. (CVE-2004-0075) The ext3 and jfs code did not properly initialize journal descriptor blocks. A privileged local user could read portions of kernel memory. (CVE-2004-0177) The terminal layer did not properly lock line discipline changes or pending IO. An unprivileged local user could read portions of kernel memory, or cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2004-0814) A race condition was discovered. Local users could use this flaw to read the environment variables of another process that is still spawning via /proc/.../cmdline. (CVE-2004-1058) A flaw in the execve() syscall handling was discovered, allowing a local user to read setuid ELF binaries that should otherwise be protected by standard permissions. (CVE-2004-1073). Red Hat originally reported this as being fixed by RHSA-2004:549, but the associated fix was missing from that update. Keith Owens reported a flaw in the Itanium unw_unwind_to_user() function. A local user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash) on the Itanium architecture. (CVE-2005-0135) A missing Itanium syscall table entry could allow an unprivileged local user to cause a denial of service (system crash) on the Itanium architecture. (CVE-2005-0137) A flaw affecting the OUTS instruction on the AMD64 and Intel EM64T architectures was discovered. A local user could use this flaw to access privileged IO ports. (CVE-2005-0204) A flaw was discovered in the Linux PPP driver. On systems allowing remote users to connect to a server using ppp, a remote client could cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2005-0384) A flaw in the Red Hat backport of NPTL to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 was discovered that left a pointer to a freed tty structure. A local user could potentially use this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly gain read or write access to ttys that should normally be prevented. (CVE-2005-0403) A flaw in fragment queuing was discovered affecting the netfilter subsystem. On systems configured to filter or process network packets (for example those configured to do firewalling), a remote attacker could send a carefully crafted set of fragmented packets to a machine and cause a denial of service (system crash). In order to sucessfully exploit this flaw, the attacker would need to know (or guess) some aspects of the firewall ruleset in place on the target system to be able to craft the right fragmented packets. (CVE-2005-0449) Missing validation of an epoll_wait() system call parameter could allow a local user to cause a denial of service (system crash) on the IBM S/390 and zSeries architectures. (CVE-2005-0736) A flaw when freeing a pointer in load_elf_library was discovered. A local user could potentially use this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2005-0749) A flaw was discovered in the bluetooth driver system. On system where the bluetooth modules are loaded, a local user could use this flaw to gain elevated (root) privileges. (CVE-2005-0750) In addition to the security issues listed above, there was an important fix made to the handling of the msync() system call for a particular case in which the call could return without queuing modified mmap() last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 18128 published 2005-04-25 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2005-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/18128 title RHEL 3 : kernel (RHSA-2005:293) code #%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 80502 # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from Red Hat Security Advisory RHSA-2005:293.

This is the sixth regular update. The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system. This is the sixth regular kernel update to Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 2.1. It updates a number of device drivers, and adds much improved SATA support. This update includes fixes for several security issues : Paul Starzetz of iSEC discovered various flaws in the ELF binary loader affecting kernels prior to 2.4.28. A local user could use these flaws to gain read access to executable-only binaries or possibly gain privileges. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CVE-2004-1070, CVE-2004-1071, CVE-2004-1072, and CVE-2004-1073 to these issues. A missing serialization flaw in unix_dgram_recvmsg was discovered that affects kernels prior to 2.4.28. A local user could potentially make use of a race condition in order to gain privileges. (CVE-2004-1068) Stefan Esser discovered various flaws including buffer overflows in the smbfs driver affecting kernels before 2.4.28. A local user may be able to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly gain privileges. In order to exploit these flaws the user would need to have control of a connected smb server. (CVE-2004-0883, CVE-2004-0949) Conectiva discovered flaws in certain USB drivers affecting kernels before 2.4.27 which used the copy_to_user function on uninitialized structures. These flaws could allow local users to read small amounts of kernel memory. (CVE-2004-0685) The ext3 code in kernels before 2.4.26 did not properly initialize journal descriptor blocks. A privileged local user could read portions of kernel memory. (CVE-2004-0177) The following drivers have also been updated : * tg3 v3.10 * e1000 v5.3.19-k2 * e100 v3.0.27-k2 * megaraid * megaraid2 v2.10.8.2 All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 users are advised to upgrade their kernels to the packages associated with their machine architectures and configurations as listed in this erratum. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 15958 published 2004-12-14 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2004-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/15958 title RHEL 2.1 : kernel (RHSA-2004:505) NASL family CentOS Local Security Checks NASL id CENTOS_RHSA-2005-293.NASL description Updated kernel packages that fix several security issues in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 kernel are now available. This security advisory has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system. The following security issues were fixed : The Vicam USB driver did not use the copy_from_user function to access userspace, crossing security boundaries. (CVE-2004-0075) The ext3 and jfs code did not properly initialize journal descriptor blocks. A privileged local user could read portions of kernel memory. (CVE-2004-0177) The terminal layer did not properly lock line discipline changes or pending IO. An unprivileged local user could read portions of kernel memory, or cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2004-0814) A race condition was discovered. Local users could use this flaw to read the environment variables of another process that is still spawning via /proc/.../cmdline. (CVE-2004-1058) A flaw in the execve() syscall handling was discovered, allowing a local user to read setuid ELF binaries that should otherwise be protected by standard permissions. (CVE-2004-1073). Red Hat originally reported this as being fixed by RHSA-2004:549, but the associated fix was missing from that update. Keith Owens reported a flaw in the Itanium unw_unwind_to_user() function. A local user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash) on the Itanium architecture. (CVE-2005-0135) A missing Itanium syscall table entry could allow an unprivileged local user to cause a denial of service (system crash) on the Itanium architecture. (CVE-2005-0137) A flaw affecting the OUTS instruction on the AMD64 and Intel EM64T architectures was discovered. A local user could use this flaw to access privileged IO ports. (CVE-2005-0204) A flaw was discovered in the Linux PPP driver. On systems allowing remote users to connect to a server using ppp, a remote client could cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2005-0384) A flaw in the Red Hat backport of NPTL to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 was discovered that left a pointer to a freed tty structure. A local user could potentially use this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly gain read or write access to ttys that should normally be prevented. (CVE-2005-0403) A flaw in fragment queuing was discovered affecting the netfilter subsystem. On systems configured to filter or process network packets (for example those configured to do firewalling), a remote attacker could send a carefully crafted set of fragmented packets to a machine and cause a denial of service (system crash). In order to sucessfully exploit this flaw, the attacker would need to know (or guess) some aspects of the firewall ruleset in place on the target system to be able to craft the right fragmented packets. (CVE-2005-0449) Missing validation of an epoll_wait() system call parameter could allow a local user to cause a denial of service (system crash) on the IBM S/390 and zSeries architectures. (CVE-2005-0736) A flaw when freeing a pointer in load_elf_library was discovered. A local user could potentially use this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2005-0749) A flaw was discovered in the bluetooth driver system. On system where the bluetooth modules are loaded, a local user could use this flaw to gain elevated (root) privileges. (CVE-2005-0750) In addition to the security issues listed above, there was an important fix made to the handling of the msync() system call for a particular case in which the call could return without queuing modified mmap() last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 21923 published 2006-07-05 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2006-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/21923 title CentOS 3 : kernel (CESA-2005:293) NASL family Gentoo Local Security Checks NASL id GENTOO_GLSA-200407-02.NASL description The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200407-02 (Linux Kernel: Multiple vulnerabilities) Multiple flaws have been discovered in the Linux kernel. This advisory corrects the following issues: CAN-2004-0109: This vulnerability allows privilege escalation using ISO9660 file systems through a buffer overflow via a malformed file system containing a long symbolic link entry. This can allow arbitrary code execution at kernel level. CAN-2004-0133: The XFS file system in 2.4 series kernels has an information leak by which data in the memory can be written to the device hosting the file system, allowing users to obtain portions of kernel memory by reading the raw block device. CAN-2004-0177: The ext3 file system in 2.4 series kernels does not properly initialize journal descriptor blocks, causing an information leak by which data in the memory can be written to the device hosting the file system, allowing users to obtain portions of kernel memory by reading the raw device. CAN-2004-0181: The JFS file system in 2.4 series kernels has an information leak by which data in the memory can be written to the device hosting the file system, allowing users to obtain portions of kernel memory by reading the raw device. CAN-2004-0178: The OSS Sound Blaster [R] Driver has a Denial of Service vulnerability since it does not handle certain sample sizes properly. This allows local users to hang the kernel. CAN-2004-0228: Due to an integer signedness error in the CPUFreq /proc handler code in 2.6 series Linux kernels, local users can escalate their privileges. CAN-2004-0229: The framebuffer driver in 2.6 series kernel drivers does not use the fb_copy_cmap method of copying structures. The impact of this issue is unknown, however. CAN-2004-0394: A buffer overflow in the panic() function of 2.4 series Linux kernels exists, but it may not be exploitable under normal circumstances due to its functionality. CAN-2004-0427: The do_fork() function in both 2.4 and 2.6 series Linux kernels does not properly decrement the mm_count counter when an error occurs, triggering a memory leak that allows local users to cause a Denial of Service by exhausting other applications of memory; causing the kernel to panic or to kill services. CAN-2004-0495: Multiple vulnerabilities found by the Sparse source checker in the kernel allow local users to escalate their privileges or gain access to kernel memory. CAN-2004-0535: The e1000 NIC driver does not properly initialize memory structures before using them, allowing users to read kernel memory. CAN-2004-0554: 2.4 and 2.6 series kernels running on an x86 or an AMD64 architecture allow local users to cause a Denial of Service by a total system hang, due to an infinite loop that triggers a signal handler with a certain sequence of fsave and frstor instructions. Local DoS in PaX: If ASLR is enabled as a GRSecurity PaX feature, a Denial of Service can be achieved by putting the kernel into an infinite loop. Only 2.6 series GRSecurity kernels are affected by this issue. RSBAC 1.2.3 JAIL issues: A flaw in the RSBAC JAIL implementation allows suid/sgid files to be created inside the jail since the relevant module does not check the corresponding mode values. This can allow privilege escalation inside the jail. Only rsbac-(dev-)sources are affected by this issue. Impact : Arbitrary code with normal non-super-user privileges may be able to exploit any of these vulnerabilities; gaining kernel level access to memory structures and hardware devices. This may be used for further exploitation of the system, to leak sensitive data or to cause a Denial of Service on the affected kernel. Workaround : Although users may not be affected by certain vulnerabilities, all kernels are affected by the CAN-2004-0394, CAN-2004-0427 and CAN-2004-0554 issues which have no workaround. As a result, all users are urged to upgrade their kernels to patched versions. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 14535 published 2004-08-30 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2004-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/14535 title GLSA-200407-02 : Linux Kernel: Multiple vulnerabilities
