COMPLETE Summary
Off-by-one error in the iov_iter_advance function in mm/filemap.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.27-rc2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a certain sequence of file I/O operations with readv and writev, as demonstrated by testcases/kernel/fs/ftest/ftest03 from the Linux Test Project.

NASL family Ubuntu Local Security Checks NASL id UBUNTU_USN-659-1.NASL description It was discovered that the direct-IO subsystem did not correctly validate certain structures. A local attacker could exploit this to cause a system crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2007-6716) It was discovered that the disabling of the ZERO_PAGE optimization could lead to large memory consumption. A local attacker could exploit this to allocate all available memory, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-2372) It was discovered that the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) did not correctly validate its arguments. If DCCP was in use, a remote attacker could send specially crafted network traffic and cause a system crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-3276) It was discovered that the SBNI WAN driver did not correctly check for the NET_ADMIN capability. A malicious local root user lacking CAP_NET_ADMIN would be able to change the WAN device configuration, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-3525) It was discovered that the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) did not correctly validate the key length in the SCTP_AUTH_KEY option. If SCTP is in use, a remote attacker could send specially crafted network traffic that would crash the system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-3526) It was discovered that the tmpfs implementation did not correctly handle certain sequences of inode operations. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-3534) It was discovered that the readv/writev functions did not correctly handle certain sequences of file operations. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-3535) It was discovered that SCTP did not correctly validate its userspace arguments. A local attacker could call certain sctp_* functions with malicious options and cause a system crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-3792, CVE-2008-4113, CVE-2008-4445) It was discovered the the i915 video driver did not correctly validate memory addresses. A local attacker could exploit this to remap memory that could cause a system crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-3831) Johann Dahm and David Richter discovered that NFSv4 did not correctly handle certain file ACLs. If NFSv4 is in use, a local attacker could create a malicious ACL that could cause a system crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-3915). Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 36681 published 2009-04-23 reporter Ubuntu Security Notice (C) 2008-2019 Canonical, Inc. / NASL script (C) 2009-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/36681 title Ubuntu 6.06 LTS / 7.10 / 8.04 LTS : linux, linux-source-2.6.15/22 vulnerabilities (USN-659-1) code #%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 80502 # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from Ubuntu Security Notice USN-659-1.

NASL family Debian Local Security Checks NASL id DEBIAN_DSA-1636.NASL description Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service or leak sensitive data. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems : - CVE-2008-3272 Tobias Klein reported a locally exploitable data leak in the snd_seq_oss_synth_make_info() function. This may allow local users to gain access to sensitive information. - CVE-2008-3275 Zoltan Sogor discovered a coding error in the VFS that allows local users to exploit a kernel memory leak resulting in a denial of service. - CVE-2008-3276 Eugene Teo reported an integer overflow in the DCCP subsystem that may allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service in the form of a kernel panic. - CVE-2008-3526 Eugene Teo reported a missing bounds check in the SCTP subsystem. By exploiting an integer overflow in the SCTP_AUTH_KEY handling code, remote attackers may be able to cause a denial of service in the form of a kernel panic. - CVE-2008-3534 Kel Modderman reported an issue in the tmpfs filesystem that allows local users to crash a system by triggering a kernel BUG() assertion. - CVE-2008-3535 Alexey Dobriyan discovered an off-by-one-error in the iov_iter_advance function which can be exploited by local users to crash a system, resulting in a denial of service. - CVE-2008-3792 Vlad Yasevich reported several NULL pointer reference conditions in the SCTP subsystem that can be triggered by entering sctp-auth codepaths when the AUTH feature is inactive. This may allow attackers to cause a denial of service condition via a system panic. - CVE-2008-3915 Johann Dahm and David Richter reported an issue in the nfsd subsystem that may allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a buffer overflow. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 34171 published 2008-09-12 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2008-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/34171 title Debian DSA-1636-1 : linux-2.6.24 - denial of service/information leak code #%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 80502 # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from Debian Security Advisory DSA-1636.
