Summary

A typo in Linux kernel 2.6 before 2.6.21-rc6 and 2.4 before 2.4.35 causes RTA_MAX to be used as an array size instead of RTN_MAX, which leads to an "out of bound access" by the (1) dn_fib_props (dn_fib.c, DECNet) and (2) fib_props (fib_semantics.c, IPv4) functions.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables
    This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
  • Server Side Include (SSI) Injection
    An attacker can use Server Side Include (SSI) Injection to send code to a web application that then gets executed by the web server. Doing so enables the attacker to achieve similar results to Cross Site Scripting, viz., arbitrary code execution and information disclosure, albeit on a more limited scale, since the SSI directives are nowhere near as powerful as a full-fledged scripting language. Nonetheless, the attacker can conveniently gain access to sensitive files, such as password files, and execute shell commands.
  • Cross Zone Scripting
    An attacker is able to cause a victim to load content into their web-browser that bypasses security zone controls and gain access to increased privileges to execute scripting code or other web objects such as unsigned ActiveX controls or applets. This is a privilege elevation attack targeted at zone-based web-browser security. In a zone-based model, pages belong to one of a set of zones corresponding to the level of privilege assigned to that page. Pages in an untrusted zone would have a lesser level of access to the system and/or be restricted in the types of executable content it was allowed to invoke. In a cross-zone scripting attack, a page that should be assigned to a less privileged zone is granted the privileges of a more trusted zone. This can be accomplished by exploiting bugs in the browser, exploiting incorrect configuration in the zone controls, through a cross-site scripting attack that causes the attackers' content to be treated as coming from a more trusted page, or by leveraging some piece of system functionality that is accessible from both the trusted and less trusted zone. This attack differs from "Restful Privilege Escalation" in that the latter correlates to the inadequate securing of RESTful access methods (such as HTTP DELETE) on the server, while cross-zone scripting attacks the concept of security zones as implemented by a browser.
  • Cross Site Scripting through Log Files
    An attacker may leverage a system weakness where logs are susceptible to log injection to insert scripts into the system's logs. If these logs are later viewed by an administrator through a thin administrative interface and the log data is not properly HTML encoded before being written to the page, the attackers' scripts stored in the log will be executed in the administrative interface with potentially serious consequences. This attack pattern is really a combination of two other attack patterns: log injection and stored cross site scripting.
  • Command Line Execution through SQL Injection
    An attacker uses standard SQL injection methods to inject data into the command line for execution. This could be done directly through misuse of directives such as MSSQL_xp_cmdshell or indirectly through injection of data into the database that would be interpreted as shell commands. Sometime later, an unscrupulous backend application (or could be part of the functionality of the same application) fetches the injected data stored in the database and uses this data as command line arguments without performing proper validation. The malicious data escapes that data plane by spawning new commands to be executed on the host.

    descriptionUpdated kernel packages that fix security issues and bugs in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 kernel are now available. This update 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 following security issues : * a flaw in the handling of IPv6 type 0 routing headers that allowed remote users to cause a denial of service that led to a network amplification between two routers (CVE-2007-2242, Important). * a flaw in the nfnetlink_log netfilter module that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (CVE-2007-1496, Important). * a flaw in the flow list of listening IPv6 sockets that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (CVE-2007-1592, Important). * a flaw in the handling of netlink messages that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion) (CVE-2007-1861, 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 nf_conntrack netfilter module for IPv6 that allowed remote users to bypass certain netfilter rules using IPv6 fragments (CVE-2007-1497, Moderate). In addition to the security issues described above, fixes for the following have been included : * a regression in ipv6 routing. * an error in memory initialization that caused gdb to output inaccurate backtraces on ia64. * the nmi watchdog timeout was updated from 5 to 30 seconds. * a flaw in distributed lock management that could result in errors during virtual machine migration. * an omitted include in kernel-headers that led to compile failures for some packages. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 users are advised to upgrade to these packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues.

Updated kernel packages that fix several security issues and a bug in
the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 kernel are now available.

This update has been rated as having important security impact by the
Red Hat Security Response Team.

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
operating system.

A flaw was found in the handling of process death signals. This
allowed a local user to send arbitrary signals to the suid-process
executed by that user. A successful exploitation of this flaw depends
on the structure of the suid-program and its signal handling.
(CVE-2007-3848, Important)

A flaw was found in the IPv4 forwarding base. This allowed a local
user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2007-2172, Important)

A flaw was found where a corrupted executable file could cause
cross-region memory mappings on Itanium systems. This allowed a local
user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-4538, Moderate)

A flaw was found in the stack expansion when using the hugetlb kernel
on PowerPC systems. This allowed a local user to cause a denial of
service. (CVE-2007-3739, Moderate)

A flaw was found in the aacraid SCSI driver. This allowed a local user
to make ioctl calls to the driver that should be restricted to
privileged users. (CVE-2007-4308, Moderate)

As well, these updated packages fix the following bug :

* a bug in the TCP header prediction code may have caused 'TCP:
Treason uncloaked!' messages to be logged. In certain situations this
may have lead to TCP connections hanging or aborting.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 users are advised to upgrade to these
updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these
issues."

  • NASL familyDebian Local Security Checks
    NASL idDEBIAN_DSA-1356.NASL
    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-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-2007-2453 A couple of issues with random number generation were discovered. Slightly less random numbers resulted from hashing a subset of the available entropy. Zero-entropy systems were seeded with the same inputs at boot time, resulting in repeatable series of random numbers. - 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-2007-2876 Vilmos Nebehaj discovered a NULL pointer dereference condition in the netfilter subsystem. This allows remote systems which communicate using the SCTP protocol to crash a system by creating a connection with an unknown chunk type. - CVE-2007-3513 Oliver Neukum reported an issue in the usblcd driver which, by not limiting the size of write buffers, permits local users with write access to trigger a DoS by consuming all available memory. - CVE-2007-3642 Zhongling Wen reported an issue in nf_conntrack_h323 where the lack of range checking may lead to NULL pointer dereferences. Remote attackers could exploit this to create a DoS condition (system crash). - CVE-2007-3848 Wojciech Purczynski discovered that pdeath_signal was not being reset properly under certain conditions which may allow local users to gain privileges by sending arbitrary signals to suid binaries. - CVE-2007-3851 Dave Airlie reported that Intel 965 and above chipsets have relocated their batch buffer security bits. Local X server users may exploit this to write user data to arbitrary physical memory addresses. These problems have been fixed in the stable distribution in version 2.6.18.dfsg.1-13etch1.

  • NASL familyMandriva Local Security Checks
    NASL idMANDRAKE_MDKSA-2007-171.NASL
    descriptionSome vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux 2.6 kernel : The Linux kernel did not properly save or restore EFLAGS during a context switch, or reset the flags when creating new threads, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (process crash) (CVE-2006-5755). The compat_sys_mount function in fs/compat.c allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and oops) by mounting a smbfs file system in compatibility mode (CVE-2006-7203). The nfnetlink_log function in netfilter allowed an attacker to cause a denial of service (crash) via unspecified vectors which would trigger a NULL pointer dereference (CVE-2007-1496). The nf_conntrack function in netfilter did not set nfctinfo during reassembly of fragmented packets, which left the default value as IP_CT_ESTABLISHED and could allow remote attackers to bypass certain rulesets using IPv6 fragments (CVE-2007-1497). The netlink functionality did not properly handle NETLINK_FIB_LOOKUP replies, which allowed a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via unspecified vectors, probably related to infinite recursion (CVE-2007-1861). A typo in the Linux kernel caused RTA_MAX to be used as an array size instead of RTN_MAX, which lead to an out of bounds access by certain functions (CVE-2007-2172). The IPv6 protocol allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted IPv6 type 0 route headers that create network amplification between two routers (CVE-2007-2242). The random number feature did not properly seed pools when there was no entropy, or used an incorrect cast when extracting entropy, which could cause the random number generator to provide the same values after reboots on systems without an entropy source (CVE-2007-2453). A memory leak in the PPPoE socket implementation allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by creating a socket using connect, and releasing it before the PPPIOCGCHAN ioctl is initialized (CVE-2007-2525). An integer underflow in the cpuset_tasks_read function, when the cpuset filesystem is mounted, allowed local users to obtain kernel memory contents by using a large offset when reading the /dev/cpuset/tasks file (CVE-2007-2875). The sctp_new function in netfilter allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service by causing certain invalid states that triggered a NULL pointer dereference (CVE-2007-2876). In addition to these security fixes, other fixes have been included such as : - Fix crash on netfilter when nfnetlink_log is used on certain hooks on packets forwarded to or from a bridge - Fixed busy sleep on IPVS which caused high load averages - Fixed possible race condition on ext[34]_link - Fixed missing braces in condition block that led to wrong behaviour in NFS - Fixed XFS lock deallocation that resulted in oops when unmounting To update your kernel, please follow the directions located at : http://www.mandriva.com/en/security/kernelupdate

A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to gain read or write access to arbitrary kernel memory, or possibly cause a denial of service. (CVE-2008-0007, Important) * a possible kernel memory leak was found in the Linux kernel Simple Internet Transition (SIT) INET6 implementation. This could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2008-2136, Important) * missing capability checks were found in the SBNI WAN driver which could allow a local, unprivileged user to bypass intended capability restrictions. (CVE-2008-3525, Important) * a flaw was found in the way files were written using truncate() or ftruncate(). This could allow a local, unprivileged user to acquire the privileges of a different group and obtain access to sensitive information. (CVE-2008-4210, Important) * a race condition in the mincore system core allowed a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-4814, Moderate) * a flaw was found in the aacraid SCSI driver. This allowed a local, unprivileged user to make ioctl calls to the driver which should otherwise be restricted to privileged users. (CVE-2007-4308, Moderate) * two buffer overflow flaws were found in the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) subsystem. A local, unprivileged user could use these flaws to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2007-6063, CVE-2007-6151, Moderate) * a flaw was found in the way core dump files were created. If a local, unprivileged user could make a root-owned process dump a core file into a user-writable directory, the user could gain read access to that core file, potentially compromising sensitive information. (CVE-2007-6206, Moderate) * a deficiency was found in the Linux kernel virtual file system (VFS) implementation. This could allow a local, unprivileged user to attempt file creation within deleted directories, possibly causing a denial of service. (CVE-2008-3275, Moderate) All users of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 on 32-bit architectures should upgrade to these updated packages which address these vulnerabilities. For this update to take effect, the system must be rebooted.

    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-2007-2172 Thomas Graf reported a typo in the IPv4 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). The DECnet counterpart of this issue was already fixed in DSA-1356. - CVE-2007-2875 iDefense reported a potential integer underflow in the cpuset filesystem which may permit local attackers to gain access to sensitive kernel memory. This vulnerability is only exploitable if the cpuset filesystem is mounted. - 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-2007-3843 A coding error in the CIFS subsystem permits the use of unsigned messages even if the client has configured the system to enforce signing by passing the sec=ntlmv2i mount option. This may allow remote attackers to spoof CIFS network traffic. - CVE-2007-4308 Alan Cox reported an issue in the aacraid driver that allows unprivileged local users to make ioctl calls which should be restricted to admin privileges. These problems have been fixed in the stable distribution in version 2.6.18.dfsg.1-13etch2.

titleA typo in Linux kernel 2.6 before 2.6.21-rc6 and 2.4 before 2.4.35 causes RTA_MAX to be used as an array size instead of RTN_MAX, which leads to an "out of bound access" by the (1) dn_fib_props (dn_fib.c, DECNet) and (2) fib_props (fib_semantics.c, IPv4) functions.
