NONE Confidentiality impact
NONE Integrity impact
NONE Availability impact
HIGH Summary
The nlmclnt_mark_reclaim in clntlock.c in NFS lockd in Linux kernel before 2.6.16 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (process crash) and deny access to NFS exports via unspecified vectors that trigger a kernel oops (null dereference) and a deadlock.
Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Leveraging Race Conditions This attack targets a race condition occurring when multiple processes access and manipulate the same resource concurrently and the outcome of the execution depends on the particular order in which the access takes place. The attacker can leverage a race condition by "running the race", modifying the resource and modifying the normal execution flow. For instance a race condition can occur while accessing a file, the attacker can trick the system by replacing the original file with his version and cause the system to read the malicious file.
- Leveraging Race Conditions via Symbolic Links This attack leverages the use of symbolic links (Symlinks) in order to write to sensitive files. An attacker can create a Symlink link to a target file not otherwise accessible to her. When the privileged program tries to create a temporary file with the same name as the Symlink link, it will actually write to the target file pointed to by the attackers' Symlink link. If the attacker can insert malicious content in the temporary file she will be writing to the sensitive file by using the Symlink. The race occurs because the system checks if the temporary file exists, then creates the file. The attacker would typically create the Symlink during the interval between the check and the creation of the temporary file.

NASL family Red Hat Local Security Checks NASL id REDHAT-RHSA-2007-0488.NASL description Updated kernel packages that fix several security issues and bugs in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 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. These new kernel packages contain fixes for the security issues described below : * a flaw in the connection tracking support for SCTP that allowed a remote user to cause a denial of service by dereferencing a NULL pointer. (CVE-2007-2876, Important) * a flaw in the mount handling routine for 64-bit systems that allowed a local user to cause denial of service (crash). (CVE-2006-7203, Important) * a flaw in the IPv4 forwarding base that allowed a local user to cause an out-of-bounds access. (CVE-2007-2172, Important) * a flaw in the PPP over Ethernet implementation that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by creating a socket using connect and then releasing it before the PPPIOCGCHAN ioctl has been called. (CVE-2007-2525, Important) * a flaw in the fput ioctl handling of 32-bit applications running on 64-bit platforms that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (panic). (CVE-2007-0773, Important) * a flaw in the NFS locking daemon that allowed a local user to cause denial of service (deadlock).

NOTE1: From The Upstream Vendors release notes 'During PCI probing, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 5 attempts to use information obtained from MCFG (memory-mapped PCI configuration space). On AMD-systems, this type of access does not work on some buses, as the kernel cannot parse the MCFG table. To work around this, add the parameter pci=conf1 or pci=nommconf on the kernel boot line in /etc/grub.conf. For example : title Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.6.9-42.0.2.EL) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-42.0.2.EL ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet pci=conf1 initrd /initrd-2.6.9-42.0.2.EL.img Doing this instructs the kernel to use PCI Conf1 access instead of MCFG-based access.' NOTE2: From The Upstream Vendors Knowledge Base 'Why did the ordering of my NIC devices change in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.5? The 2.6.9-55 version of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 kernel (Update 5) reverts to the 2.4 ordering of network interface cards (NICs) on certain systems. Note that if the 'HWADDR=MAC ADDRESS' line is present in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX files, the NIC ordering will not change.

NASL family Mandriva Local Security Checks NASL id MANDRAKE_MDKSA-2007-012.NASL description Some vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux 2.6 kernel : The __block_prepate_write function in the 2.6 kernel before 2.6.13 does not properly clear buffers during certain error conditions, which allows users to read portions of files that have been unlinked (CVE-2006-4813). The clip_mkip function of the ATM subsystem in the 2.6 kernel allows remote attackers to dause a DoS (panic) via unknown vectors that cause the ATM subsystem to access the memory of socket buffers after they are freed (CVE-2006-4997). The NFS lockd in the 2.6 kernel before 2.6.16 allows remote attackers to cause a DoS (process crash) and deny access to NFS exports via unspecified vectors that trigger a kernel oops and a deadlock (CVE-2006-5158). The seqfile handling in the 2.6 kernel up to 2.6.18 allows local users to cause a DoS (hang or oops) via unspecified manipulations that trigger an infinite loop while searching for flowlabels (CVE-2006-5619). A missing call to init_timer() in the isdn_ppp code of the Linux kernel can allow remote attackers to send a special kind of PPP pakcet which may trigger a kernel oops (CVE-2006-5749). An integer overflow in the 2.6 kernel prior to 2.6.18.4 could allow a local user to execute arbitrary code via a large maxnum value in an ioctl request (CVE-2006-5751). A race condition in the ISO9660 filesystem handling could allow a local user to cause a DoS (infinite loop) by mounting a crafted ISO9660 filesystem containing malformed data structures (CVE-2006-5757). A vulnerability in the bluetooth support could allow for overwriting internal CMTP and CAPI data structures via malformed packets (CVE-2006-6106). The provided packages are patched to fix these vulnerabilities. All users are encouraged to upgrade to these updated kernels immediately and reboot to effect the fixes. In addition to these security fixes, other fixes have been included such as : - __bread oops fix - added e1000_ng (nineveh support) - added sata_svw (Broadcom SATA support) - added Marvell PATA chipset support - disabled mmconf on some broken hardware/BIOSes - use GENERICARCH and enable bigsmp apic model for tulsa machines To update your kernel, please follow the directions located at : http://www.mandriva.com/en/security/kernelupdate last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 24628 published 2007-02-18 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2007-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/24628 title Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : kernel (MDKSA-2007:012) code #%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 80502 # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from Mandrake Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2007:012. # The text itself is copyright (C) Mandriva S.A. # include("compat.inc"); if (description) { script_id(24628); script_version ("1.17"); script_cvs_date("Date: 2019/08/02 13:32:48"); script_cve_id("CVE-2006-4813", "CVE-2006-4997", "CVE-2006-5158", "CVE-2006-5619", "CVE-2006-5749", "CVE-2006-5751", "CVE-2006-5757", "CVE-2006-6106"); script_bugtraq_id(20363, 20847, 20920, 21353, 21522, 21604, 21835); script_xref(name:"MDKSA", value:"2007:012"); script_name(english:"Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : kernel (MDKSA-2007:012)"); script_summary(english:"Checks rpm output for the updated packages"); script_set_attribute( attribute:"synopsis", value: "The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing one or more security updates." ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"description", value: "Some vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux 2.6 kernel : The __block_prepate_write function in the 2.6 kernel before 2.6.13 does not properly clear buffers during certain error conditions, which allows users to read portions of files that have been unlinked (CVE-2006-4813).

NASL family Oracle Linux Local Security Checks NASL id ORACLELINUX_ELSA-2007-0488.NASL description From Red Hat Security Advisory 2007:0488 : Updated kernel packages that fix several security issues and bugs in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 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. These new kernel packages contain fixes for the security issues described below : * a flaw in the connection tracking support for SCTP that allowed a remote user to cause a denial of service by dereferencing a NULL pointer. (CVE-2007-2876, Important) * a flaw in the mount handling routine for 64-bit systems that allowed a local user to cause denial of service (crash). (CVE-2006-7203, Important) * a flaw in the IPv4 forwarding base that allowed a local user to cause an out-of-bounds access. (CVE-2007-2172, Important) * a flaw in the PPP over Ethernet implementation that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by creating a socket using connect and then releasing it before the PPPIOCGCHAN ioctl has been called. (CVE-2007-2525, Important) * a flaw in the fput ioctl handling of 32-bit applications running on 64-bit platforms that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (panic). (CVE-2007-0773, Important) * a flaw in the NFS locking daemon that allowed a local user to cause denial of service (deadlock). (CVE-2006-5158, Moderate) * a flaw in the sysfs_readdir function that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service by dereferencing a NULL pointer. (CVE-2007-3104, Moderate) * a flaw in the core-dump handling that allowed a local user to create core dumps from unreadable binaries via PT_INTERP. (CVE-2007-0958, Low) * a flaw in the Bluetooth subsystem that allowed a local user to trigger an information leak. (CVE-2007-1353, Low) In addition, the following bugs were addressed : * the NFS could recurse on the same spinlock. Also, NFS, under certain conditions, did not completely clean up Posix locks on a file close, leading to mount failures. * the 32bit compatibility didn last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 67520 published 2013-07-12 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2013-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/67520 title Oracle Linux 4 : kernel (ELSA-2007-0488) 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-2007:0488 and # Oracle Linux Security Advisory ELSA-2007-0488 respectively. # include("compat.inc"); if (description) { script_id(67520); script_version("1.14"); script_cvs_date("Date: 2019/10/25 13:36:06"); script_cve_id("CVE-2006-5158", "CVE-2006-7203", "CVE-2007-0773", "CVE-2007-0958", "CVE-2007-1353", "CVE-2007-2172", "CVE-2007-2525", "CVE-2007-2876", "CVE-2007-3104"); script_bugtraq_id(23870, 24376, 24631); script_xref(name:"RHSA", value:"2007:0488"); script_name(english:"Oracle Linux 4 : kernel (ELSA-2007-0488)"); script_summary(english:"Checks rpm output for the updated packages"); script_set_attribute( attribute:"synopsis", value:"The remote Oracle Linux host is missing one or more security updates." ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"description", value: "From Red Hat Security Advisory 2007:0488 : Updated kernel packages that fix several security issues and bugs in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 kernel are now available.
