UNKNOWN Summary
The snd_mem_proc_read function in sound/core/memalloc.c in the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22.8 does not return the correct write size, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information (kernel memory contents) via a small count argument, as demonstrated by multiple reads of /proc/driver/snd-page-alloc.

NASL family Red Hat Local Security Checks NASL id REDHAT-RHSA-2007-0993.NASL description Updated kernel packages that fix various security issues 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 memory leak was found in the Red Hat Content Accelerator kernel patch. A local user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2007-5494, Important) A flaw was found in the handling of IEEE 802.11 frames affecting several wireless LAN modules. In certain circumstances, a remote attacker could trigger this flaw by sending a malicious packet over a wireless network and cause a denial of service (kernel crash). (CVE-2007-4997, Important). A flaw was found in the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA). A local user who had the ability to read the /proc/driver/snd-page-alloc file could see portions of kernel memory. (CVE-2007-4571, Moderate). In addition to the security issues described above, several bug fixes preventing possible memory corruption, system crashes, SCSI I/O fails, networking drivers performance regression and journaling block device layer issue were also included. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 users are advised to upgrade to these packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues. Red Hat would like to credit Vasily Averin, Chris Evans, and Neil Kettle for reporting the security issues corrected by this update. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 28363 published 2007-11-30 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2007-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/28363 title RHEL 5 : kernel (RHSA-2007:0993) 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-2007:0993.

(unsigned long)start : n; 在136行从对snd_proc_mem_read函数的调用返回了值n。由于返回值(在单个设备的情况下大约为41)大于所请求的读大小(1),在158行n值被设置为count,之后*ppos递增,从start(计算为page + *ppos)将n字节拷贝到了用户域。 在之后的用户域读操作中,如果*ppos大于0的话,proc_file_read函数就会拷贝过snd_mem_proc_read写入的页面,导致泄露内核内存。 Linux kernel < 2.6.22.8 临时解决方法: * 卸载snd_page_alloc模块 * 修改/etc/fstab中的加载参数限制对/proc文件系统的访问 厂商补丁: Linux ----- 目前厂商已经发布了升级补丁以修复这个安全问题,请到厂商的主页下载: <a href="http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.22.8.tar.bz2" target="_blank">http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.22.8.tar.bz2</a> id SSV:2251 last seen 2017-11-19 modified 2007-09-27 published 2007-09-27 reporter Root title Linux Kernel ALSA驱动snd-page-alloc本地Proc文件信息泄露漏洞
