Summary

Race condition in the do_setlk function in fs/nfs/file.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.26 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors resulting in an interrupted RPC call that leads to a stray FL_POSIX lock, related to improper handling of a race between fcntl and close in the EINTR case.

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Leveraging Race Conditions
    This attack targets a race condition occurring when multiple processes access and manipulate the same resource concurrently and the outcome of the execution depends on the particular order in which the access takes place. The attacker can leverage a race condition by "running the race", modifying the resource and modifying the normal execution flow. For instance a race condition can occur while accessing a file, the attacker can trick the system by replacing the original file with his version and cause the system to read the malicious file.
  • Leveraging Time-of-Check and Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) Race Conditions
    This attack targets a race condition occurring between the time of check (state) for a resource and the time of use of a resource. The typical example is the file access. The attacker can leverage a file access race condition by "running the race", meaning that he would modify the resource between the first time the target program accesses the file and the time the target program uses the file. During that period of time, the attacker could do something such as replace the file and cause an escalation of privilege.

    descriptionThe remote OracleVM system is missing necessary patches to address critical security updates : CVE-2008-4307 Race condition in the do_setlk function in fs/nfs/file.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.26 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors resulting in an interrupted RPC call that leads to a stray FL_POSIX lock, related to improper handling of a race between fcntl and close in the EINTR case. CVE-2009-1337 The exit_notify function in kernel/exit.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.30-rc1 does not restrict exit signals when the CAP_KILL capability is held, which allows local users to send an arbitrary signal to a process by running a program that modifies the exit_signal field and then uses an exec system call to launch a setuid application. CVE-2009-0834 The audit_syscall_entry function in the Linux kernel 2.6.28.7 and earlier on the x86_64 platform does not properly handle (1) a 32-bit process making a 64-bit syscall or (2) a 64-bit process making a 32-bit syscall, which allows local users to bypass certain syscall audit configurations via crafted syscalls, a related issue to CVE-2009-0342 and CVE-2009-0343. CVE-2009-1336 fs/nfs/client.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.23 does not properly initialize a certain structure member that stores the maximum NFS filename length, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via a long filename, related to the encode_lookup function. - CVE-2008-4307 -[nfs] remove bogus lock-if-signalled case (Bryn M. Reeves) [456287 456288] - CVE-2009-1337 - [misc] exit_notify: kill the wrong capable check - CVE-2009-0834 - [ptrace] audit_syscall_entry to use right syscall number (Jiri Pirko) [488001 488002] - CVE-2009-1336 - [nfs] v4: client crash on file lookup with long names (Sachin S.

    descriptionSeveral vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service or privilege escalation. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems : - CVE-2008-4307 Bryn M. Reeves reported a denial of service in the NFS filesystem. Local users can trigger a kernel BUG() due to a race condition in the do_setlk function. - CVE-2008-5079 Hugo Dias reported a DoS condition in the ATM subsystem that can be triggered by a local user by calling the svc_listen function twice on the same socket and reading /proc/net/atm/*vc. - CVE-2008-5395 Helge Deller discovered a denial of service condition that allows local users on PA-RISC systems to crash a system by attempting to unwind a stack containing userspace addresses. - CVE-2008-5700 Alan Cox discovered a lack of minimum timeouts on SG_IO requests, which allows local users of systems using ATA to cause a denial of service by forcing drives into PIO mode. - CVE-2008-5701 Vlad Malov reported an issue on 64-bit MIPS systems where a local user could cause a system crash by crafing a malicious binary which makes o32 syscalls with a number less than 4000. - CVE-2008-5702 Zvonimir Rakamaric reported an off-by-one error in the ib700wdt watchdog driver which allows local users to cause a buffer underflow by making a specially crafted WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT ioctl call. - CVE-2009-0028 Chris Evans discovered a situation in which a child process can send an arbitrary signal to its parent. - CVE-2009-0029 Christian Borntraeger discovered an issue effecting the alpha, mips, powerpc, s390 and sparc64 architectures that allows local users to cause a denial of service or potentially gain elevated privileges. - CVE-2009-0031 Vegard Nossum discovered a memory leak in the keyctl subsystem that allows local users to cause a denial of service by consuming all of kernel memory. - CVE-2009-0065 Wei Yongjun discovered a memory overflow in the SCTP implementation that can be triggered by remote users, permitting remote code execution. - CVE-2009-0269 Duane Griffin provided a fix for an issue in the eCryptfs subsystem which allows local users to cause a denial of service (fault or memory corruption). - CVE-2009-0322 Pavel Roskin provided a fix for an issue in the dell_rbu driver that allows a local user to cause a denial of service (oops) by reading 0 bytes from a sysfs entry. - CVE-2009-0675 Roel Kluin discovered inverted logic in the skfddi driver that permits local, unprivileged users to reset the driver statistics. - CVE-2009-0676 Clement LECIGNE discovered a bug in the sock_getsockopt function that may result in leaking sensitive kernel memory. - CVE-2009-0745 Peter Kerwien discovered an issue in the ext4 filesystem that allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel oops) during a resize operation. - CVE-2009-0834 Roland McGrath discovered an issue on amd64 kernels that allows local users to circumvent system call audit configurations which filter based on the syscall numbers or argument details. - CVE-2009-0859 Jiri Olsa discovered that a local user can cause a denial of service (system hang) using a SHM_INFO shmctl call on kernels compiled with CONFIG_SHMEM disabled. This issue does not affect prebuilt Debian kernels. - CVE-2009-1046 Mikulas Patocka reported an issue in the console subsystem that allows a local user to cause memory corruption by selecting a small number of 3-byte UTF-8 characters. - CVE-2009-1192 Shaohua Li reported an issue in the AGP subsystem that may allow local users to read sensitive kernel memory due to a leak of uninitialized memory. - CVE-2009-1242 Benjamin Gilbert reported a local denial of service vulnerability in the KVM VMX implementation that allows local users to trigger an oops. - CVE-2009-1265 Thomas Pollet reported an overflow in the af_rose implementation that allows remote attackers to retrieve uninitialized kernel memory that may contain sensitive data. - CVE-2009-1337 Oleg Nesterov discovered an issue in the exit_notify function that allows local users to send an arbitrary signal to a process by running a program that modifies the exit_signal field and then uses an exec system call to launch a setuid application. - CVE-2009-1338 Daniel Hokka Zakrisson discovered that a kill(-1) is permitted to reach processes outside of the current process namespace. - CVE-2009-1439 Pavan Naregundi reported an issue in the CIFS filesystem code that allows remote users to overwrite memory via a long nativeFileSystem field in a Tree Connect response during mount.

descriptionBUGTRAQ ID: 33237 CVE(CAN) ID: CVE-2008-4307 Linux Kernel是开放源码操作系统Linux所使用的内核。 RHEL4/5内核处理POSIX锁定时fcntl调用可能与关闭相同文件描述符出现竞争,本地攻击者可以利用这个漏洞导致拒绝服务或获得权限提升。 fcntl以如下方式获得POSIX锁定: sys_fcntl() fget() do_fcntl() fcntl_setlk() fput() if(!count) __fput() locks_remove_flock() fcntl_setlk()调用可能阻塞很长时间,允许同一进程中的其他线程关闭文件描述符: sys_close() filp_close() locks_remove_posix() fput() if(!count) __fput() locks_remove_flock() 如果其中一个线程仍在fcntl_setlk中阻断期间但在许可锁定之前(在将file_lock结构放置到inode的i_lock列表之前)从另一个线程关闭了文件描述符,关闭路径中的locks_remove_posix调用就会错过POSIX锁定。此时还无法调用locks_remove_flock,因为fcntl_setlk中线程仍持有对文件的引用。 当__fput调用locks_remove_flock时,sys_fcntl返回路径的最终fput可以触发漏洞: /* * This function is called on the last close of an open file. */ void locks_remove_flock(struct file *filp) { [...] while ((fl = *before) != NULL) { if (fl-&gt;fl_file == filp) { if (IS_FLOCK(fl)) { locks_delete_lock(before); continue; } if (IS_LEASE(fl)) { lease_modify(before, F_UNLCK); continue; } if (IS_POSIX(fl)) continue; /* What? */ BUG(); &lt;---- } before = &amp;fl-&gt;fl_next; } unlock_kernel(); } Linux kernel 2.6.x 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://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/old/patch-2.6.25-git6.log target=_blank rel=external nofollow>http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/old/patch-2.6.25-git6.log</a>
