Summary

wan/sdla.c in Linux kernel 2.6.x before 2.6.11 and 2.4.x before 2.4.29 does not require the CAP_SYS_RAWIO privilege for an SDLA firmware upgrade, with unknown impact and local attack vectors. NOTE: further investigation suggests that this issue requires root privileges to exploit, since it is protected by CAP_NET_ADMIN; thus it might not be a vulnerability, although capabilities provide finer distinctions between privilege levels.

    descriptionDoug Chapman discovered a flaw in the reference counting in the sys_mq_open() function. By calling this function in a special way, a local attacker could exploit this to cause a kernel crash. (CVE-2005-3356) Karl Janmar discovered that the /proc file system module used signed data types in a wrong way. A local attacker could exploit this to read random kernel memory, which could possibly contain sensitive data like passwords or private keys. (CVE-2005-4605) Yi Yang discovered an off-by-one buffer overflow in the sysctl() system call. By calling sysctl with a specially crafted long string, a local attacker could exploit this to crash the kernel or possibly even execute arbitrary code with full kernel privileges. (CVE-2005-4618) Perceval Anichini found a buffer overflow in the TwinHan DST Frontend/Card DVB driver. A local user could exploit this to crash the kernel or possibly execute arbitrary code with full kernel privileges. This only affects Ubuntu 5.10. (CVE-2005-4639) Stefan Rompf discovered that the dm-crypt module did not clear memory structures before releasing the memory allocation of it. This could lead to the disclosure of encryption keys. (CVE-2006-0095) The SDLA WAN driver did not restrict firmware upgrades to processes that have the CAP_SYS_RAWIO kernel capability, it just required the CAP_NET_ADMIN privilege. This could allow processes with the latter privilege to update the SDLA firmware. Please note that this does not affect a standard Ubuntu installation, and this cannot be exploited by a normal (unprivileged) user. At most, this flaw might be relevant for installations that use a fine-grained capability granting system like RSBAC, cap_over, or grsecurity. This only affects Ubuntu 4.10. (CVE-2006-0096). Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

    descriptionSeveral local and remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems : - CVE-2004-1017 Multiple overflows exist in the io_edgeport driver which might be usable as a denial of service attack vector. - CVE-2005-0124 Bryan Fulton reported a bounds checking bug in the coda_pioctl function which may allow local users to execute arbitrary code or trigger a denial of service attack. - CVE-2005-0449 An error in the skb_checksum_help() function from the netfilter framework has been discovered that allows the bypass of packet filter rules or a denial of service attack. - CVE-2005-2457 Tim Yamin discovered that insufficient input validation in the zisofs driver for compressed ISO file systems allows a denial of service attack through maliciously crafted ISO images. - CVE-2005-2490 A buffer overflow in the sendmsg() function allows local users to execute arbitrary code. - CVE-2005-2555 Herbert Xu discovered that the setsockopt() function was not restricted to users/processes with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability. This allows attackers to manipulate IPSEC policies or initiate a denial of service attack. - CVE-2005-2709 Al Viro discovered a race condition in the /proc handling of network devices. A (local) attacker could exploit the stale reference after interface shutdown to cause a denial of service or possibly execute code in kernel mode. - CVE-2005-2800 Jan Blunck discovered that repeated failed reads of /proc/scsi/sg/devices leak memory, which allows a denial of service attack. - CVE-2005-2973 Tetsuo Handa discovered that the udp_v6_get_port() function from the IPv6 code can be forced into an endless loop, which allows a denial of service attack. - CVE-2005-3044 Vasiliy Averin discovered that the reference counters from sockfd_put() and fput() can be forced into overlapping, which allows a denial of service attack through a NULL pointer dereference. - CVE-2005-3053 Eric Dumazet discovered that the set_mempolicy() system call accepts a negative value for its first argument, which triggers a BUG() assert. This allows a denial of service attack. - CVE-2005-3055 Harald Welte discovered that if a process issues a USB Request Block (URB) to a device and terminates before the URB completes, a stale pointer would be dereferenced. This could be used to trigger a denial of service attack. - CVE-2005-3180 Pavel Roskin discovered that the driver for Orinoco wireless cards clears its buffers insufficiently. This could leak sensitive information into user space. - CVE-2005-3181 Robert Derr discovered that the audit subsystem uses an incorrect function to free memory, which allows a denial of service attack. - CVE-2005-3257 Rudolf Polzer discovered that the kernel improperly restricts access to the KDSKBSENT ioctl, which can possibly lead to privilege escalation. - CVE-2005-3356 Doug Chapman discovered that the mq_open syscall can be tricked into decrementing an internal counter twice, which allows a denial of service attack through a kernel panic. - CVE-2005-3358 Doug Chapman discovered that passing a zero bitmask to the set_mempolicy() system call leads to a kernel panic, which allows a denial of service attack. - CVE-2005-3783 The ptrace code using CLONE_THREAD didn
