Summary

The hfsplus_block_allocate function in fs/hfsplus/bitmap.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28-rc1 does not check a certain return value from the read_mapping_page function before calling kmap, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted hfsplus filesystem image.

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.

"From Red Hat Security Advisory 2009:0014 :

Updated kernel packages that resolve several security issues and fix
various bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

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.

This update addresses the following security issues :

* the sendmsg() function in the Linux kernel did not block during UNIX
socket garbage collection. This could, potentially, lead to a local
denial of service. (CVE-2008-5300, Important)

* when fput() was called to close a socket, the __scm_destroy()
function in the Linux kernel could make indirect recursive calls to
itself. This could, potentially, lead to a local denial of service.
(CVE-2008-5029, Important)

* a deficiency was found in the Linux kernel virtual file system (VFS)
implementation. This could allow a local, unprivileged user to make a
series of file creations within deleted directories, possibly causing
a denial of service. (CVE-2008-3275, Moderate)

* a buffer underflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel IB700 SBC
watchdog timer driver. This deficiency could lead to a possible
information leak. By default, the '/dev/watchdog' device is accessible
only to the root user. (CVE-2008-5702, Low)

* the hfs and hfsplus file systems code failed to properly handle
corrupted data structures. This could, potentially, lead to a local
denial of service. (CVE-2008-4933, CVE-2008-5025, Low)

* a flaw was found in the hfsplus file system implementation. This
could, potentially, lead to a local denial of service when write
operations were performed. (CVE-2008-4934, Low)

This update also fixes the following bugs :

* when running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.6 and 4.7 on some systems
running Intel(r) CPUs, the cpuspeed daemon did not run, preventing the
CPU speed from being changed, such as not being reduced to an idle
state when not in use.

* mmap() could be used to gain access to beyond the first megabyte of
RAM, due to insufficient checks in the Linux kernel code. Checks have
been added to prevent this.

* attempting to turn keyboard LEDs on and off rapidly on keyboards
with slow keyboard controllers, may have caused key presses to fail.

* after migrating a hypervisor guest, the MAC address table was not
updated, causing packet loss and preventing network connections to the
guest. Now, a gratuitous ARP request is sent after migration. This
refreshes the ARP caches, minimizing network downtime.

* writing crash dumps with diskdump may have caused a kernel panic on
Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) systems with certain memory
configurations.

* on big-endian systems, such as PowerPC, the getsockopt() function
incorrectly returned 0 depending on the parameters passed to it when
the time to live (TTL) value equaled 255, possibly causing memory
corruption and application crashes.

* a problem in the kernel packages provided by the RHSA-2008:0508
advisory caused the Linux kernel's built-in memory copy procedure to
return the wrong error code after recovering from a page fault on
AMD64 and Intel 64 systems. This may have caused other Linux kernel
functions to return wrong error codes.

* a divide-by-zero bug in the Linux kernel process scheduler, which
may have caused kernel panics on certain systems, has been resolved.

* the netconsole kernel module caused the Linux kernel to hang when
slave interfaces of bonded network interfaces were started, resulting
in a system hang or kernel panic when restarting the network.

* the '/proc/xen/' directory existed even if systems were not running
Red Hat Virtualization. This may have caused problems for third-party
software that checks virtualization-ability based on the existence of
'/proc/xen/'. Note: this update will remove the '/proc/xen/' directory
on systems not running Red Hat Virtualization.

All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 users should upgrade to these updated
packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues."

    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-2008-3528 Eugene Teo reported a local DoS issue in the ext2 and ext3 filesystems. Local users who have been granted the privileges necessary to mount a filesystem would be able to craft a corrupted filesystem that causes the kernel to output error messages in an infinite loop. - CVE-2008-4554 Milos Szeredi reported that the usage of splice() on files opened with O_APPEND allows users to write to the file at arbitrary offsets, enabling a bypass of possible assumed semantics of the O_APPEND flag. - CVE-2008-4576 Vlad Yasevich reported an issue in the SCTP subsystem that may allow remote users to cause a local DoS by triggering a kernel oops. - CVE-2008-4618 Wei Yongjun reported an issue in the SCTP subsystem that may allow remote users to cause a local DoS by triggering a kernel panic. - CVE-2008-4933 Eric Sesterhenn reported a local DoS issue in the hfsplus filesystem. Local users who have been granted the privileges necessary to mount a filesystem would be able to craft a corrupted filesystem that causes the kernel to overrun a buffer, resulting in a system oops or memory corruption. - CVE-2008-4934 Eric Sesterhenn reported a local DoS issue in the hfsplus filesystem. Local users who have been granted the privileges necessary to mount a filesystem would be able to craft a corrupted filesystem that results in a kernel oops due to an unchecked return value. - CVE-2008-5025 Eric Sesterhenn reported a local DoS issue in the hfs filesystem. Local users who have been granted the privileges necessary to mount a filesystem would be able to craft a filesystem with a corrupted catalog name length, resulting in a system oops or memory corruption. - CVE-2008-5029 Andrea Bittau reported a DoS issue in the unix socket subsystem that allows a local user to cause memory corruption, resulting in a kernel panic. - CVE-2008-5134 Johannes Berg reported a remote DoS issue in the libertas wireless driver, which can be triggered by a specially crafted beacon/probe response. - CVE-2008-5182 Al Viro reported race conditions in the inotify subsystem that may allow local users to acquire elevated privileges. - CVE-2008-5300 Dann Frazier reported a DoS condition that allows local users to cause the out of memory handler to kill off privileged processes or trigger soft lockups due to a starvation issue in the unix socket subsystem.

"Several 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-2008-3528
    Eugene Teo reported a local DoS issue in the ext2 and
    ext3 filesystems. Local users who have been granted the
    privileges necessary to mount a filesystem would be able
    to craft a corrupted filesystem that causes the kernel
    to output error messages in an infinite loop.

  - CVE-2008-4554
    Milos Szeredi reported that the usage of splice() on
    files opened with O_APPEND allows users to write to the
    file at arbitrary offsets, enabling a bypass of possible
    assumed semantics of the O_APPEND flag.

  - CVE-2008-4576
    Vlad Yasevich reported an issue in the SCTP subsystem
    that may allow remote users to cause a local DoS by
    triggering a kernel oops.

  - CVE-2008-4618
    Wei Yongjun reported an issue in the SCTP subsystem that
    may allow remote users to cause a local DoS by
    triggering a kernel panic.

  - CVE-2008-4933
    Eric Sesterhenn reported a local DoS issue in the
    hfsplus filesystem. Local users who have been granted
    the privileges necessary to mount a filesystem would be
    able to craft a corrupted filesystem that causes the
    kernel to overrun a buffer, resulting in a system oops
    or memory corruption.

  - CVE-2008-4934
    Eric Sesterhenn reported a local DoS issue in the
    hfsplus filesystem. Local users who have been granted
    the privileges necessary to mount a filesystem would be
    able to craft a corrupted filesystem that results in a
    kernel oops due to an unchecked return value.

  - CVE-2008-5025
    Eric Sesterhenn reported a local DoS issue in the hfs
    filesystem. Local users who have been granted the
    privileges necessary to mount a filesystem would be able
    to craft a filesystem with a corrupted catalog name
    length, resulting in a system oops or memory corruption.

  - CVE-2008-5029
    Andrea Bittau reported a DoS issue in the unix socket
    subsystem that allows a local user to cause memory
    corruption, resulting in a kernel panic.

  - CVE-2008-5134
    Johannes Berg reported a remote DoS issue in the
    libertas wireless driver, which can be triggered by a
    specially crafted beacon/probe response.

  - CVE-2008-5182
    Al Viro reported race conditions in the inotify
    subsystem that may allow local users to acquire elevated
    privileges.

  - CVE-2008-5300
    Dann Frazier reported a DoS condition that allows local
    users to cause the out of memory handler to kill off
    privileged processes or trigger soft lockups due to a
    starvation issue in the unix socket subsystem."

    descriptionSome vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux 2.6 kernel : Buffer overflow in the hfsplus_find_cat function in fs/hfsplus/catalog.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28-rc1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or system crash) via an hfsplus filesystem image with an invalid catalog namelength field, related to the hfsplus_cat_build_key_uni function. (CVE-2008-4933) The hfsplus_block_allocate function in fs/hfsplus/bitmap.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28-rc1 does not check a certain return value from the read_mapping_page function before calling kmap, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted hfsplus filesystem image. (CVE-2008-4934) The __scm_destroy function in net/core/scm.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.27.4, 2.6.26, and earlier makes indirect recursive calls to itself through calls to the fput function, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via vectors related to sending an SCM_RIGHTS message through a UNIX domain socket and closing file descriptors. (CVE-2008-5029) Additionaly, support for a broadcom bluetooth dongle was added to btusb driver, an eeepc shutdown hang caused by snd-hda-intel was fixed, a Realtek auto-mute bug was fixed, the pcspkr driver was reenabled, an acpi brightness setting issue on some laptops was fixed, sata_nv (NVidia) driver bugs were fixed, horizontal mousewheel scrolling with Logitech V150 mouse was fixed, and more. Check the changelog and related bugs for more details. This kernel also fixes the driver for Intel G45/GM45 video chipsets, in a way requiring also an updated Xorg driver, which is also being provided in this update.

    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-2008-3527 Tavis Ormandy reported a local DoS and potential privilege escalation in the Virtual Dynamic Shared Objects (vDSO) implementation. - CVE-2008-3528 Eugene Teo reported a local DoS issue in the ext2 and ext3 filesystems. Local users who have been granted the privileges necessary to mount a filesystem would be able to craft a corrupted filesystem that causes the kernel to output error messages in an infinite loop. - CVE-2008-4554 Milos Szeredi reported that the usage of splice() on files opened with O_APPEND allows users to write to the file at arbitrary offsets, enabling a bypass of possible assumed semantics of the O_APPEND flag. - CVE-2008-4576 Vlad Yasevich reported an issue in the SCTP subsystem that may allow remote users to cause a local DoS by triggering a kernel oops. - CVE-2008-4933 Eric Sesterhenn reported a local DoS issue in the hfsplus filesystem. Local users who have been granted the privileges necessary to mount a filesystem would be able to craft a corrupted filesystem that causes the kernel to overrun a buffer, resulting in a system oops or memory corruption. - CVE-2008-4934 Eric Sesterhenn reported a local DoS issue in the hfsplus filesystem. Local users who have been granted the privileges necessary to mount a filesystem would be able to craft a corrupted filesystem that results in a kernel oops due to an unchecked return value. - CVE-2008-5025 Eric Sesterhenn reported a local DoS issue in the hfs filesystem. Local users who have been granted the privileges necessary to mount a filesystem would be able to craft a filesystem with a corrupted catalog name length, resulting in a system oops or memory corruption. - CVE-2008-5029 Andrea Bittau reported a DoS issue in the unix socket subsystem that allows a local user to cause memory corruption, resulting in a kernel panic. - 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-2008-5182 Al Viro reported race conditions in the inotify subsystem that may allow local users to acquire elevated privileges. - CVE-2008-5300 Dann Frazier reported a DoS condition that allows local users to cause the out of memory handler to kill off privileged processes or trigger soft lockups due to a starvation issue in the unix socket subsystem.

descriptionThe hfsplus_block_allocate function in fs/hfsplus/bitmap.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28-rc1 does not check a certain return value from the read_mapping_page function before calling kmap, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted hfsplus filesystem image.
