UNKNOWN Summary
The Linux kernel 2.6.24 and 2.6.25 before 2.6.25.9 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of calls to the get_user_pages function, which lacks a ZERO_PAGE optimization and results in allocation of "useless newly zeroed pages."

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.

(CVE-2008-4302, Important) * a flaw was found in the Linux kernel when running on AMD64 systems. During a context switch, EFLAGS were being neither saved nor restored. This could allow a local unprivileged user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-5755, Low) * a flaw was found in the Linux kernel virtual memory implementation. This could allow a local unprivileged user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2008-2372, Low) * an integer overflow was discovered in the Linux kernel Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) implementation. This could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. By default, remote DCCP is blocked by SELinux. (CVE-2008-3276, Low) In addition, these updated packages fix the following bugs : * random32() seeding has been improved. * in a multi-core environment, a race between the QP async event-handler and the destro_qp() function could occur. This led to unpredictable results during invalid memory access, which could lead to a kernel crash. * a format string was omitted in the call to the request_module() function. * a stack overflow caused by an infinite recursion bug in the binfmt_misc kernel module was corrected. * the ata_scsi_rbuf_get() and ata_scsi_rbuf_put() functions now check for scatterlist usage before calling kmap_atomic(). * a sentinel NUL byte was added to the device_write() function to ensure that lspace.name is NUL-terminated. * in the character device driver, a range_is_allowed() check was added to the read_mem() and write_mem() functions. It was possible for an illegitimate application to bypass these checks, and access /dev/mem beyond the 1M limit by calling mmap_mem() instead. Also, the parameters of range_is_allowed() were changed to cleanly handle greater than 32-bits of physical address on 32-bit architectures. * some of the newer Nehalem-based systems declare their CPU DSDT entries as type 'Alias'. During boot, this caused an 'Error attaching device data' message to be logged. * the evtchn event channel device lacked locks and memory barriers. This has led to xenstore becoming unresponsive on the Itanium(r) architecture. * sending of gratuitous ARP packets in the Xen frontend network driver is now delayed until the backend signals that its carrier status has been processed by the stack. * on forcedeth devices, whenever setting ethtool parameters for link speed, the device could stop receiving interrupts. * the CIFS 'forcedirectio' option did not allow text to be appended to files. * the gettimeofday() function returned a backwards time on Intel(r) 64. * residual-count corrections during UNDERRUN handling were added to the qla2xxx driver. * the fix for a small quirk was removed for certain Adaptec controllers for which it caused problems. * the 'xm trigger init' command caused a domain panic if a userland application was running on a guest on the Intel(r) 64 architecture. Users of kernel should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues." ); # https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2008-November/015397.html script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"http://www.nessus.org/u?744cf616" ); # https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2008-November/015398.html script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"http://www.nessus.org/u?b3f56c35" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"solution", value:"Update the affected kernel packages." ); script_set_cvss_base_vector("CVSS2#AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C"); script_set_cvss_temporal_vector("CVSS2#E:H/RL:OF/RC:C"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"exploitability_ease", value:"Exploits are available"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"exploit_available", value:"true"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"exploited_by_malware", value:"true"); script_cwe_id(20, 189, 264, 399); script_set_attribute(attribute:"plugin_type", value:"local"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"cpe", value:"p-cpe:/a:centos:centos:kernel"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"cpe", value:"p-cpe:/a:centos:centos:kernel-PAE"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"cpe", value:"p-cpe:/a:centos:centos:kernel-PAE-devel"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"cpe", value:"p-cpe:/a:centos:centos:kernel-debug"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"cpe", value:"p-cpe:/a:centos:centos:kernel-debug-devel"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"cpe", value:"p-cpe:/a:centos:centos:kernel-devel"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"cpe", value:"p-cpe:/a:centos:centos:kernel-doc"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"cpe", value:"p-cpe:/a:centos:centos:kernel-headers"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"cpe", value:"p-cpe:/a:centos:centos:kernel-xen"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"cpe", value:"p-cpe:/a:centos:centos:kernel-xen-devel"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"cpe", value:"cpe:/o:centos:centos:5"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"vuln_publication_date", value:"2006/12/31"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"patch_publication_date", value:"2008/11/12"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"plugin_publication_date", value:"2010/01/06"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"generated_plugin", value:"current"); script_end_attributes(); script_category(ACT_GATHER_INFO); script_copyright(english:"This script is Copyright (C) 2010-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof."); script_family(english:"CentOS Local Security Checks"); script_dependencies("ssh_get_info.nasl"); script_require_keys("Host/local_checks_enabled", "Host/CentOS/release", "Host/CentOS/rpm-list"); exit(0); } include("audit.inc"); include("global_settings.inc"); include("rpm.inc"); if (!get_kb_item("Host/local_checks_enabled")) audit(AUDIT_LOCAL_CHECKS_NOT_ENABLED); release = get_kb_item("Host/CentOS/release"); if (isnull(release) || "CentOS" >!< release) audit(AUDIT_OS_NOT, "CentOS"); os_ver = pregmatch(pattern: "CentOS(?: Linux)? release ([0-9]+)", string:release); if (isnull(os_ver)) audit(AUDIT_UNKNOWN_APP_VER, "CentOS"); os_ver = os_ver[1]; if (! preg(pattern:"^5([^0-9]|$)", string:os_ver)) audit(AUDIT_OS_NOT, "CentOS 5.x", "CentOS " + os_ver); if (!get_kb_item("Host/CentOS/rpm-list")) audit(AUDIT_PACKAGE_LIST_MISSING); cpu = get_kb_item("Host/cpu"); if (isnull(cpu)) audit(AUDIT_UNKNOWN_ARCH); if ("x86_64" >!< cpu && cpu !~ "^i[3-6]86$") audit(AUDIT_LOCAL_CHECKS_NOT_IMPLEMENTED, "CentOS", cpu); flag = 0; if (rpm_check(release:"CentOS-5", reference:"kernel-2.6.18-92.1.18.el5")) flag++; if (rpm_check(release:"CentOS-5", cpu:"i386", reference:"kernel-PAE-2.6.18-92.1.18.el5")) flag++; if (rpm_check(release:"CentOS-5", cpu:"i386", reference:"kernel-PAE-devel-2.6.18-92.1.18.el5")) flag++; if (rpm_check(release:"CentOS-5", reference:"kernel-debug-2.6.18-92.1.18.el5")) flag++; if (rpm_check(release:"CentOS-5", reference:"kernel-debug-devel-2.6.18-92.1.18.el5")) flag++; if (rpm_check(release:"CentOS-5", reference:"kernel-devel-2.6.18-92.1.18.el5")) flag++; if (rpm_check(release:"CentOS-5", reference:"kernel-doc-2.6.18-92.1.18.el5")) flag++; if (rpm_check(release:"CentOS-5", reference:"kernel-headers-2.6.18-92.1.18.el5")) flag++; if (rpm_check(release:"CentOS-5", reference:"kernel-xen-2.6.18-92.1.18.el5")) flag++; if (rpm_check(release:"CentOS-5", reference:"kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-92.1.18.el5")) flag++; if (flag) { security_report_v4( port : 0, severity : SECURITY_HOLE, extra : rpm_report_get() ); exit(0); } else { tested = pkg_tests_get(); if (tested) audit(AUDIT_PACKAGE_NOT_AFFECTED, tested); else audit(AUDIT_PACKAGE_NOT_INSTALLED, "kernel / kernel-PAE / kernel-PAE-devel / kernel-debug / etc"); }

This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. [Updated 12th November 2008] The original packages distributed with this errata had a bug which prevented the Xen kernel booting on older hardware. We have updated the packages to correct this bug. The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. * the Xen implementation did not prevent applications running in a para-virtualized guest from modifying CR4 TSC. This could cause a local denial of service. (CVE-2007-5907, Important) * Tavis Ormandy reported missing boundary checks in the Virtual Dynamic Shared Objects (vDSO) implementation. This could allow a local unprivileged user to cause a denial of service or escalate privileges. (CVE-2008-3527, Important) * the do_truncate() and generic_file_splice_write() functions did not clear the setuid and setgid bits. This could allow a local unprivileged user to obtain access to privileged information. (CVE-2008-4210, CVE-2008-3833, Important) * a flaw was found in the Linux kernel splice implementation. This could cause a local denial of service when there is a certain failure in the add_to_page_cache_lru() function. (CVE-2008-4302, Important) * a flaw was found in the Linux kernel when running on AMD64 systems. During a context switch, EFLAGS were being neither saved nor restored.

NASL family SuSE Local Security Checks NASL id SUSE_KERNEL-5473.NASL description This is a respin of the previous kernel update, which got retracted due to an IDE-CDROM regression, where any IDE CDROM access would hang or crash the system. Only this problem was fixed additionally. This kernel update fixes the following security problems : - On x86_64 a denial of service attack could be used by local attackers to immediately panic / crash the machine. (CVE-2008-1615) - Fixed a SMP ordering problem in fcntl_setlk could potentially allow local attackers to execute code by timing file locking. (CVE-2008-1669) - Fixed a resource starvation problem in the handling of ZERO mmap pages. (CVE-2008-2372) - The asn1 implementation in (a) the Linux kernel, as used in the cifs and ip_nat_snmp_basic modules does not properly validate length values during decoding of ASN.1 BER data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via (1) a length greater than the working buffer, which can lead to an unspecified overflow; (2) an oid length of zero, which can lead to an off-by-one error; or (3) an indefinite length for a primitive encoding. (CVE-2008-1673) - Various tty / serial devices did not check functionpointers for NULL before calling them, leading to potential crashes or code execution. The devices affected are usually only accessible by the root user though.
