Summary

The minix filesystem code in Linux kernel 2.6.x before 2.6.24, including 2.6.18, allows local users to cause a denial of service (hang) via a malformed minix file stream that triggers an infinite loop in the minix_bmap function. NOTE: this issue might be due to an integer overflow or signedness error.

    descriptionSeveral local 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-2006-6058 LMH reported an issue in the minix filesystem that allows local users with mount privileges to create a DoS (printk flood) by mounting a specially crafted corrupt filesystem. - CVE-2007-5966 Warren Togami discovered an issue in the hrtimer subsystem that allows a local user to cause a DoS (soft lockup) by requesting a timer sleep for a long period of time leading to an integer overflow. - CVE-2007-6063 Venustech AD-LAB discovered a buffer overflow in the isdn ioctl handling, exploitable by a local user. - CVE-2007-6206 Blake Frantz discovered that when a core file owned by a non-root user exists, and a root-owned process dumps core over it, the core file retains its original ownership. This could be used by a local user to gain access to sensitive information. - CVE-2007-6417 Hugh Dickins discovered an issue in the tmpfs filesystem where, under a rare circumstance, a kernel page may be improperly cleared, leaking sensitive kernel memory to userspace or resulting in a DoS (crash). These problems have been fixed in the stable distribution in version 2.6.18.dfsg.1-13etch6. The following matrix lists additional packages that were rebuilt for compatibility with or to take advantage of this update : Debian 4.0 (etch) fai-kernels 1.17+etch.13etch6 user-mode-linux 2.6.18-1um-2etch.13etch6

"Several local 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-2006-6058
    LMH reported an issue in the minix filesystem that
    allows local users with mount privileges to create a DoS
    (printk flood) by mounting a specially crafted corrupt
    filesystem.

  - CVE-2007-5966
    Warren Togami discovered an issue in the hrtimer
    subsystem that allows a local user to cause a DoS (soft
    lockup) by requesting a timer sleep for a long period of
    time leading to an integer overflow.

  - CVE-2007-6063
    Venustech AD-LAB discovered a buffer overflow in the
    isdn ioctl handling, exploitable by a local user.

  - CVE-2007-6206
    Blake Frantz discovered that when a core file owned by a
    non-root user exists, and a root-owned process dumps
    core over it, the core file retains its original
    ownership. This could be used by a local user to gain
    access to sensitive information.

  - CVE-2007-6417
    Hugh Dickins discovered an issue in the tmpfs filesystem
    where, under a rare circumstance, a kernel page may be
    improperly cleared, leaking sensitive kernel memory to
    userspace or resulting in a DoS (crash).

These problems have been fixed in the stable distribution in version

    descriptionThe minix filesystem did not properly validate certain filesystem values. If a local attacker could trick the system into attempting to mount a corrupted minix filesystem, the kernel could be made to hang for long periods of time, resulting in a denial of service. This was only vulnerable in Ubuntu 7.04 and 7.10. (CVE-2006-6058) The signal handling on PowerPC systems using HTX allowed local users to cause a denial of service via floating point corruption. This was only vulnerable in Ubuntu 6.10 and 7.04. (CVE-2007-3107) The Linux kernel did not properly validate the hop-by-hop IPv6 extended header. Remote attackers could send a crafted IPv6 packet and cause a denial of service via kernel panic. This was only vulnerable in Ubuntu 7.04. (CVE-2007-4567) The JFFS2 filesystem with ACL support enabled did not properly store permissions during inode creation and ACL setting. Local users could possibly access restricted files after a remount. This was only vulnerable in Ubuntu 7.04 and 7.10. (CVE-2007-4849) Chris Evans discovered an issue with certain drivers that use the ieee80211_rx function. Remote attackers could send a crafted 802.11 frame and cause a denial of service via crash. This was only vulnerable in Ubuntu 7.04 and 7.10. (CVE-2007-4997) Alex Smith discovered an issue with the pwc driver for certain webcam devices. A local user with physical access to the system could remove the device while a userspace application had it open and cause the USB subsystem to block. This was only vulnerable in Ubuntu 7.04. (CVE-2007-5093) Scott James Remnant discovered a coding error in ptrace. Local users could exploit this and cause the kernel to enter an infinite loop. This was only vulnerable in Ubuntu 7.04 and 7.10. (CVE-2007-5500) It was discovered that the Linux kernel could dereference a NULL pointer when processing certain IPv4 TCP packets. A remote attacker could send a crafted TCP ACK response and cause a denial of service via crash. This was only vulnerable in Ubuntu 7.10. (CVE-2007-5501) Warren Togami discovered that the hrtimer subsystem did not properly check for large relative timeouts. A local user could exploit this and cause a denial of service via soft lockup. (CVE-2007-5966) Venustech AD-LAB discovered a buffer overflow in the isdn net subsystem. This issue is exploitable by local users via crafted input to the isdn_ioctl function. (CVE-2007-6063) It was discovered that the isdn subsystem did not properly check for NULL termination when performing ioctl handling. A local user could exploit this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2007-6151) Blake Frantz discovered that when a root process overwrote an existing core file, the resulting core file retained the previous core file

  • NASL familyMandriva Local Security Checks
    NASL idMANDRIVA_MDVSA-2008-112.NASL
    descriptionSome vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux 2.6 kernel : The Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) subsystem in the Linux kernel 2.6.18, and probably other versions, does not properly check feature lengths, which might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, related to an unspecified overflow. (CVE-2008-2358) VFS in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22.16, and 2.6.23.x before 2.6.23.14, performs tests of access mode by using the flag variable instead of the acc_mode variable, which might allow local users to bypass intended permissions and remove directories. (CVE-2008-0001) Linux kernel before 2.6.22.17, when using certain drivers that register a fault handler that does not perform range checks, allows local users to access kernel memory via an out-of-range offset. (CVE-2008-0007) Integer overflow in the hrtimer_start function in kernel/hrtimer.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.23.10 allows local users to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (panic) via a large relative timeout value. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third-party information. (CVE-2007-5966) The shmem_getpage function (mm/shmem.c) in Linux kernel 2.6.11 through 2.6.23 does not properly clear allocated memory in some rare circumstances related to tmpfs, which might allow local users to read sensitive kernel data or cause a denial of service (crash). (CVE-2007-6417) The isdn_ioctl function in isdn_common.c in Linux kernel 2.6.23 allows local users to cause a denial of service via a crafted ioctl struct in which iocts is not null terminated, which triggers a buffer overflow. (CVE-2007-6151) The do_coredump function in fs/exec.c in Linux kernel 2.4.x and 2.6.x up to 2.6.24-rc3, and possibly other versions, does not change the UID of a core dump file if it exists before a root process creates a core dump in the same location, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2007-6206) Buffer overflow in the isdn_net_setcfg function in isdn_net.c in Linux kernel 2.6.23 allows local users to have an unknown impact via a crafted argument to the isdn_ioctl function. (CVE-2007-6063) The wait_task_stopped function in the Linux kernel before 2.6.23.8 checks a TASK_TRACED bit instead of an exit_state value, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (machine crash) via unspecified vectors. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third-party information. (CVE-2007-5500) The minix filesystem code in Linux kernel 2.6.x before 2.6.24, including 2.6.18, allows local users to cause a denial of service (hang) via a malformed minix file stream that triggers an infinite loop in the minix_bmap function. NOTE: this issue might be due to an integer overflow or signedness error.

    descriptionThe minix filesystem did not properly validate certain filesystem values. If a local attacker could trick the system into attempting to mount a corrupted minix filesystem, the kernel could be made to hang for long periods of time, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-6058) Alexander Schulze discovered that the skge driver does not properly use the spin_lock and spin_unlock functions. Remote attackers could exploit this by sending a flood of network traffic and cause a denial of service (crash). (CVE-2006-7229) Hugh Dickins discovered that hugetlbfs performed certain prio_tree calculations using HPAGE_SIZE instead of PAGE_SIZE. A local user could exploit this and cause a denial of service via kernel panic. (CVE-2007-4133) Chris Evans discovered an issue with certain drivers that use the ieee80211_rx function. Remote attackers could send a crafted 802.11 frame and cause a denial of service via crash. (CVE-2007-4997) Alex Smith discovered an issue with the pwc driver for certain webcam devices. A local user with physical access to the system could remove the device while a userspace application had it open and cause the USB subsystem to block. (CVE-2007-5093) Scott James Remnant discovered a coding error in ptrace. Local users could exploit this and cause the kernel to enter an infinite loop. (CVE-2007-5500) Venustech AD-LAB discovered a buffer overflow in the isdn net subsystem. This issue is exploitable by local users via crafted input to the isdn_ioctl function. (CVE-2007-6063) It was discovered that the isdn subsystem did not properly check for NULL termination when performing ioctl handling. A local user could exploit this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2007-6151) Blake Frantz discovered that when a root process overwrote an existing core file, the resulting core file retained the previous core file

    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-2006-5823 LMH reported a potential local DoS which could be exploited by a malicious user with the privileges to mount and read a corrupted cramfs filesystem. - CVE-2006-6054 LMH reported a potential local DoS which could be exploited by a malicious user with the privileges to mount and read a corrupted ext2 filesystem. - CVE-2006-6058 LMH reported an issue in the minix filesystem that allows local users with mount privileges to create a DoS (printk flood) by mounting a specially crafted corrupt filesystem. - CVE-2006-7203 OpenVZ Linux kernel team reported an issue in the smbfs filesystem which can be exploited by local users to cause a DoS (oops) during mount. - CVE-2007-1353 Ilja van Sprundel discovered that kernel memory could be leaked via the Bluetooth setsockopt call due to an uninitialized stack buffer. This could be used by local attackers to read the contents of sensitive kernel memory. - CVE-2007-2172 Thomas Graf reported a typo in the DECnet protocol handler that could be used by a local attacker to overrun an array via crafted packets, potentially resulting in a Denial of Service (system crash). A similar issue exists in the IPV4 protocol handler and will be fixed in a subsequent update. - CVE-2007-2525 Florian Zumbiehl discovered a memory leak in the PPPOE subsystem caused by releasing a socket before PPPIOCGCHAN is called upon it. This could be used by a local user to DoS a system by consuming all available memory. - CVE-2007-3105 The PaX Team discovered a potential buffer overflow in the random number generator which may permit local users to cause a denial of service or gain additional privileges. This issue is not believed to effect default Debian installations where only root has sufficient privileges to exploit it. - CVE-2007-3739 Adam Litke reported a potential local denial of service (oops) on powerpc platforms resulting from unchecked VMA expansion into address space reserved for hugetlb pages. - CVE-2007-3740 Steve French reported that CIFS filesystems with CAP_UNIX enabled were not honoring a process

    descriptionThe minix filesystem did not properly validate certain filesystem values. If a local attacker could trick the system into attempting to mount a corrupted minix filesystem, the kernel could be made to hang for long periods of time, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-6058) Certain calculations in the hugetlb code were not correct. A local attacker could exploit this to cause a kernel panic, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2007-4133) Eric Sesterhenn and Victor Julien discovered that the hop-by-hop IPv6 extended header was not correctly validated. If a system was configured for IPv6, a remote attacker could send a specially crafted IPv6 packet and cause the kernel to panic, leading to a denial of service. This was only vulnerable in Ubuntu 7.04. (CVE-2007-4567) Permissions were not correctly stored on JFFS2 ACLs. For systems using ACLs on JFFS2, a local attacker may gain access to private files. (CVE-2007-4849) Chris Evans discovered that the 802.11 network stack did not correctly handle certain QOS frames. A remote attacker on the local wireless network could send specially crafted packets that would panic the kernel, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2007-4997) The Philips USB Webcam driver did not correctly handle disconnects. If a local attacker tricked another user into disconnecting a webcam unsafely, the kernel could hang or consume CPU resources, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2007-5093) Scott James Remnant discovered that the waitid function could be made to hang the system. A local attacker could execute a specially crafted program which would leave the system unresponsive, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2007-5500) Ilpo Jarvinen discovered that it might be possible for the TCP stack to panic the kernel when receiving a crafted ACK response. Only Ubuntu 7.10 contained the vulnerable code, and it is believed not to have been exploitable. (CVE-2007-5501) When mounting the same remote NFS share to separate local locations, the first location
