Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Accessing, Modifying or Executing Executable Files
    An attack of this type exploits a system's configuration that allows an attacker to either directly access an executable file, for example through shell access; or in a possible worst case allows an attacker to upload a file and then execute it. Web servers, ftp servers, and message oriented middleware systems which have many integration points are particularly vulnerable, because both the programmers and the administrators must be in synch regarding the interfaces and the correct privileges for each interface.
  • Leverage Executable Code in Non-Executable Files
    An attack of this type exploits a system's trust in configuration and resource files, when the executable loads the resource (such as an image file or configuration file) the attacker has modified the file to either execute malicious code directly or manipulate the target process (e.g. application server) to execute based on the malicious configuration parameters. Since systems are increasingly interrelated mashing up resources from local and remote sources the possibility of this attack occurring is high. The attack can be directed at a client system, such as causing buffer overrun through loading seemingly benign image files, as in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-028 where specially crafted JPEG files could cause a buffer overrun once loaded into the browser. Another example targets clients reading pdf files. In this case the attacker simply appends javascript to the end of a legitimate url for a pdf (http://www.gnucitizen.org/blog/danger-danger-danger/) http://path/to/pdf/file.pdf#whatever_name_you_want=javascript:your_code_here The client assumes that they are reading a pdf, but the attacker has modified the resource and loaded executable javascript into the client's browser process. The attack can also target server processes. The attacker edits the resource or configuration file, for example a web.xml file used to configure security permissions for a J2EE app server, adding role name "public" grants all users with the public role the ability to use the administration functionality. The server trusts its configuration file to be correct, but when they are manipulated, the attacker gains full control.
  • Blue Boxing
    This type of attack against older telephone switches and trunks has been around for decades. A tone is sent by an adversary to impersonate a supervisor signal which has the effect of rerouting or usurping command of the line. While the US infrastructure proper may not contain widespread vulnerabilities to this type of attack, many companies are connected globally through call centers and business process outsourcing. These international systems may be operated in countries which have not upgraded Telco infrastructure and so are vulnerable to Blue boxing. Blue boxing is a result of failure on the part of the system to enforce strong authorization for administrative functions. While the infrastructure is different than standard current applications like web applications, there are historical lessons to be learned to upgrade the access control for administrative functions.
  • Restful Privilege Elevation
    Rest uses standard HTTP (Get, Put, Delete) style permissions methods, but these are not necessarily correlated generally with back end programs. Strict interpretation of HTTP get methods means that these HTTP Get services should not be used to delete information on the server, but there is no access control mechanism to back up this logic. This means that unless the services are properly ACL'd and the application's service implementation are following these guidelines then an HTTP request can easily execute a delete or update on the server side. The attacker identifies a HTTP Get URL such as http://victimsite/updateOrder, which calls out to a program to update orders on a database or other resource. The URL is not idempotent so the request can be submitted multiple times by the attacker, additionally, the attacker may be able to exploit the URL published as a Get method that actually performs updates (instead of merely retrieving data). This may result in malicious or inadvertent altering of data on the server.
  • Target Programs with Elevated Privileges
    This attack targets programs running with elevated privileges. The attacker would try to leverage a bug in the running program and get arbitrary code to execute with elevated privileges. For instance an attacker would look for programs that write to the system directories or registry keys (such as HKLM, which stores a number of critical Windows environment variables). These programs are typically running with elevated privileges and have usually not been designed with security in mind. Such programs are excellent exploit targets because they yield lots of power when they break. The malicious user try to execute its code at the same level as a privileged system call.

doing an update, updates for lower priority issues will normally not
be released for all kernels at the same time. Rather, they will be

"This kernel update for openSUSE 11.0 fixes some bugs and several
security problems.

The following security issues are fixed: A local denial of service
problem in the splice(2) system call.

CVE-2009-1630: The nfs_permission function in fs/nfs/dir.c in the NFS
client implementation in the Linux kernel when atomic_open is
available, does not check execute (aka EXEC or MAY_EXEC) permission
bits, which allows local users to bypass permissions and execute
files, as demonstrated by files on an NFSv4 fileserver.

CVE-2009-0834: The audit_syscall_entry function in the Linux kernel on
the x86_64 platform did 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.

CVE-2009-1072: nfsd in the Linux kernel did not drop the CAP_MKNOD
capability before handling a user request in a thread, which allows
local users to create device nodes, as demonstrated on a filesystem
that has been exported with the root_squash option.

CVE-2009-0835 The __secure_computing function in kernel/seccomp.c in
the seccomp subsystem in the Linux kernel on the x86_64 platform, when
CONFIG_SECCOMP is enabled, 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 intended access
restrictions via crafted syscalls that are misinterpreted as (a) stat
or (b) chmod.

CVE-2009-1439: Buffer overflow in fs/cifs/connect.c in CIFS in the
Linux kernel 2.6.29 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (crash) or potential code execution via a long
nativeFileSystem field in a Tree Connect response to an SMB mount
request.

This requires that kernel can be made to mount a 'cifs' filesystem
from a malicious CIFS server.

CVE-2009-1337: The exit_notify function in kernel/exit.c in the Linux
kernel did 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-2009-0859: The shm_get_stat function in ipc/shm.c in the shm
subsystem in the Linux kernel, when CONFIG_SHMEM is disabled,
misinterprets the data type of an inode, which allows local users to
cause a denial of service (system hang) via an SHM_INFO shmctl call,
as demonstrated by running the ipcs program. (SUSE is enabling
CONFIG_SHMEM, so is by default not affected, the fix is just for
completeness).

CVE-2009-1242: The vmx_set_msr function in arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the
VMX implementation in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel on the
i386 platform allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service
(OOPS) by setting the EFER_LME (aka 'Long mode enable') bit in the
Extended Feature Enable Register (EFER) model-specific register, which
is specific to the x86_64 platform.

CVE-2009-1265: Integer overflow in rose_sendmsg (sys/net/af_rose.c) in
the Linux kernel might allow attackers to obtain sensitive information
via a large length value, which causes 'garbage' memory to be sent.

CVE-2009-0028: The clone system call in the Linux kernel allows local
users to send arbitrary signals to a parent process from an
unprivileged child process by launching an additional child process
with the CLONE_PARENT flag, and then letting this new process exit.

CVE-2009-0675: The skfp_ioctl function in drivers/net/skfp/skfddi.c in
the Linux kernel permits SKFP_CLR_STATS requests only when the
CAP_NET_ADMIN capability is absent, instead of when this capability is
present, which allows local users to reset the driver statistics,
related to an 'inverted logic' issue.

CVE-2009-0676: The sock_getsockopt function in net/core/sock.c in the
Linux kernel does not initialize a certain structure member, which
allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from
kernel memory via an SO_BSDCOMPAT getsockopt request.

CVE-2009-0322: drivers/firmware/dell_rbu.c in the Linux kernel allows
local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a read
system call that specifies zero bytes from the (1) image_type or (2)
packet_size file in /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/.

CVE-2009-0269: fs/ecryptfs/inode.c in the eCryptfs subsystem in the
Linux kernel allows local users to cause a denial of service (fault or
memory corruption), or possibly have unspecified other impact, via a
readlink call that results in an error, leading to use of a -1 return

"Updated kernel packages that fix several security issues and 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.

Security fixes :

* a logic error was found in the do_setlk() function of the Linux
kernel Network File System (NFS) implementation. If a signal
interrupted a lock request, the local POSIX lock was incorrectly
created. This could cause a denial of service on the NFS server if a
file descriptor was closed before its corresponding lock request
returned. (CVE-2008-4307, Important)

* a deficiency was found in the Linux kernel system call auditing
implementation on 64-bit systems. This could allow a local,
unprivileged user to circumvent a system call audit configuration, if
that configuration filtered based on the 'syscall' number or
arguments. (CVE-2009-0834, Important)

* Chris Evans reported a deficiency in the Linux kernel signals
implementation. The clone() system call permits the caller to indicate
the signal it wants to receive when its child exits. When clone() is
called with the CLONE_PARENT flag, it permits the caller to clone a
new child that shares the same parent as itself, enabling the
indicated signal to be sent to the caller's parent (instead of the
caller), even if the caller's parent has different real and effective
user IDs. This could lead to a denial of service of the parent.
(CVE-2009-0028, Moderate)

* the sock_getsockopt() function in the Linux kernel did not properly
initialize a data structure that can be directly returned to
user-space when the getsockopt() function is called with SO_BSDCOMPAT
optname set. This flaw could possibly lead to memory disclosure.
(CVE-2009-0676, Moderate)

Bug fixes :

* a kernel crash may have occurred for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.7
guests if their guest configuration file specified 'vif = [
'type=ioemu' ]'. This crash only occurred when starting guests via the
'xm create' command. (BZ#477146)

* a bug in IO-APIC NMI watchdog may have prevented Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 4.7 from being installed on HP ProLiant DL580 G5 systems. Hangs
during installation and 'NMI received for unknown reason [xx]' errors
may have occurred. (BZ#479184)

* a kernel deadlock on some systems when using netdump through a
network interface that uses the igb driver. (BZ#480579)

* a possible kernel hang in sys_ptrace() on the Itanium(r)
architecture, possibly triggered by tracing a threaded process with
strace. (BZ#484904)

* the RHSA-2008:0665 errata only fixed the known problem with the LSI
Logic LSI53C1030 Ultra320 SCSI controller, for tape devices. Read
commands sent to tape devices may have received incorrect data. This
issue may have led to data corruption. This update includes a fix for
all types of devices. (BZ#487399)

* a missing memory barrier caused a race condition in the AIO
subsystem between the read_events() and aio_complete() functions. This
may have caused a thread in read_events() to sleep indefinitely,
possibly causing an application hang. (BZ#489935)

* due to a lack of synchronization in the NFS client code,
modifications to some pages (for files on an NFS mounted file system)
made through a region of memory mapped by mmap() may be lost if the
NFS client invalidates its page cache for particular files.
(BZ#490119)

* a NULL pointer dereference in the megaraid_mbox driver caused a
system crash on some systems. (BZ#493420)

* the ext3_symlink() function in the ext3 file system code used an
illegal __GFP_FS allocation inside some transactions. This may have
resulted in a kernel panic and 'Assertion failure' errors. (BZ#493422)

* do_machine_check() cleared all Machine Check Exception (MCE) status
registers, preventing the BIOS from using them to determine the cause
of certain panics and errors. (BZ#494915)

* a bug prevented NMI watchdog from initializing on HP ProLiant DL580
G5 systems. (BZ#497330)

This update contains backported patches to fix these issues. The
system must be rebooted for this update to take effect."

"Updated kernel packages that fix several security issues and 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.

Security fixes :

* a logic error was found in the do_setlk() function of the Linux
kernel Network File System (NFS) implementation. If a signal
interrupted a lock request, the local POSIX lock was incorrectly
created. This could cause a denial of service on the NFS server if a
file descriptor was closed before its corresponding lock request
returned. (CVE-2008-4307, Important)

* a deficiency was found in the Linux kernel system call auditing
implementation on 64-bit systems. This could allow a local,
unprivileged user to circumvent a system call audit configuration, if
that configuration filtered based on the 'syscall' number or
arguments. (CVE-2009-0834, Important)

* Chris Evans reported a deficiency in the Linux kernel signals
implementation. The clone() system call permits the caller to indicate
the signal it wants to receive when its child exits. When clone() is
called with the CLONE_PARENT flag, it permits the caller to clone a
new child that shares the same parent as itself, enabling the
indicated signal to be sent to the caller's parent (instead of the
caller), even if the caller's parent has different real and effective
user IDs. This could lead to a denial of service of the parent.
(CVE-2009-0028, Moderate)

* the sock_getsockopt() function in the Linux kernel did not properly
initialize a data structure that can be directly returned to
user-space when the getsockopt() function is called with SO_BSDCOMPAT
optname set. This flaw could possibly lead to memory disclosure.
(CVE-2009-0676, Moderate)

Bug fixes :

* a kernel crash may have occurred for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.7
guests if their guest configuration file specified 'vif = [
'type=ioemu' ]'. This crash only occurred when starting guests via the
'xm create' command. (BZ#477146)

* a bug in IO-APIC NMI watchdog may have prevented Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 4.7 from being installed on HP ProLiant DL580 G5 systems. Hangs
during installation and 'NMI received for unknown reason [xx]' errors
may have occurred. (BZ#479184)

* a kernel deadlock on some systems when using netdump through a
network interface that uses the igb driver. (BZ#480579)

* a possible kernel hang in sys_ptrace() on the Itanium(r)
architecture, possibly triggered by tracing a threaded process with
strace. (BZ#484904)

* the RHSA-2008:0665 errata only fixed the known problem with the LSI
Logic LSI53C1030 Ultra320 SCSI controller, for tape devices. Read
commands sent to tape devices may have received incorrect data. This
issue may have led to data corruption. This update includes a fix for
all types of devices. (BZ#487399)

* a missing memory barrier caused a race condition in the AIO
subsystem between the read_events() and aio_complete() functions. This
may have caused a thread in read_events() to sleep indefinitely,
possibly causing an application hang. (BZ#489935)

* due to a lack of synchronization in the NFS client code,
modifications to some pages (for files on an NFS mounted file system)
made through a region of memory mapped by mmap() may be lost if the
NFS client invalidates its page cache for particular files.
(BZ#490119)

* a NULL pointer dereference in the megaraid_mbox driver caused a
system crash on some systems. (BZ#493420)

* the ext3_symlink() function in the ext3 file system code used an
illegal __GFP_FS allocation inside some transactions. This may have
resulted in a kernel panic and 'Assertion failure' errors. (BZ#493422)

* do_machine_check() cleared all Machine Check Exception (MCE) status
registers, preventing the BIOS from using them to determine the cause
of certain panics and errors. (BZ#494915)

* a bug prevented NMI watchdog from initializing on HP ProLiant DL580
G5 systems. (BZ#497330)

This update contains backported patches to fix these issues. The
system must be rebooted for this update to take effect."

  • NASL familyMandriva Local Security Checks
    NASL idMANDRIVA_MDVSA-2009-118.NASL
    descriptionSome vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux 2.6 kernel : The clone system call in the Linux kernel 2.6.28 and earlier allows local users to send arbitrary signals to a parent process from an unprivileged child process by launching an additional child process with the CLONE_PARENT flag, and then letting this new process exit. (CVE-2009-0028) fs/ecryptfs/inode.c in the eCryptfs subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (fault or memory corruption), or possibly have unspecified other impact, via a readlink call that results in an error, leading to use of a -1 return value as an array index. (CVE-2009-0269) 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-2009-0834) The __secure_computing function in kernel/seccomp.c in the seccomp subsystem in the Linux kernel 2.6.28.7 and earlier on the x86_64 platform, when CONFIG_SECCOMP is enabled, 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 intended access restrictions via crafted syscalls that are misinterpreted as (a) stat or (b) chmod, a related issue to CVE-2009-0342 and CVE-2009-0343. (CVE-2009-0835) The selinux_ip_postroute_iptables_compat function in security/selinux/hooks.c in the SELinux subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.27.22, and 2.6.28.x before 2.6.28.10, when compat_net is enabled, omits calls to avc_has_perm for the (1) node and (2) port, which allows local users to bypass intended restrictions on network traffic. NOTE: this was incorrectly reported as an issue fixed in 2.6.27.21. (CVE-2009-1184) Additionally, along with other things, this kernel update adds support for D-Link DWM 652 3.5G, some Intel gigabit network chipsets, Avermedia PCI pure analog (M135A), fixes a bug causing SQLite performance regression, and has some updated ALSA drivers.

  • NASL familySuSE Local Security Checks
    NASL idSUSE_11_1_KERNEL-090225.NASL
    descriptionThis update fixes several security issues and hundreds of bugs in the openSUSE 11.1 kernel. The kernel was also updated to the stable version 2.6.27.19 and is now the same kernel as we are planning to ship with SUSE Linux Enterprise 11. This introduces kABI changes, so all kernel module packages also need to be rebuilt and reapplied. Following security issues are fixed: CVE-2009-0029: The ABI in the Linux kernel on s390, powerpc, sparc64, and mips 64-bit platforms requires that a 32-bit argument in a 64-bit register was properly sign extended when sent from a user-mode application, but cannot verify this, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly gain privileges via a crafted system call. CVE-2008-5079: net/atm/svc.c in the ATM subsystem in the Linux kernel allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel infinite loop) by making two calls to svc_listen for the same socket, and then reading a /proc/net/atm/*vc file, related to corruption of the vcc table. CVE-2009-0028: A minor signal handling vulnerability was fixed, where a child could send his parent a arbitrary signal.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems : - CVE-2009-0028 Chris Evans discovered a situation in which a child process can send an arbitrary signal to its parent. - 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-2009-0835 Roland McGrath discovered an issue on amd64 kernels with CONFIG_SECCOMP enabled. By making a specially crafted syscall, local users can bypass access restrictions. - 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-2009-1072 Igor Zhbanov reported that nfsd was not properly dropping CAP_MKNOD, allowing users to create device nodes on file systems exported with root_squash. - CVE-2009-1184 Dan Carpenter reported a coding issue in the selinux subsystem that allows local users to bypass certain networking checks when running with compat_net=1. - CVE-2009-1192 Shaohua Li reported an issue in the AGP subsystem they 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.

    descriptionThis kernel update for openSUSE 10.3 fixes some bugs and several security problems. The following security issues are fixed: A local denial of service problem in the splice(2) system call. CVE-2009-0834: The audit_syscall_entry function in the Linux kernel on the x86_64 platform did 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. CVE-2009-1072: nfsd in the Linux kernel did not drop the CAP_MKNOD capability before handling a user request in a thread, which allows local users to create device nodes, as demonstrated on a filesystem that has been exported with the root_squash option. CVE-2009-0835 The __secure_computing function in kernel/seccomp.c in the seccomp subsystem in the Linux kernel on the x86_64 platform, when CONFIG_SECCOMP is enabled, 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 intended access restrictions via crafted syscalls that are misinterpreted as (a) stat or (b) chmod. CVE-2009-1439: Buffer overflow in fs/cifs/connect.c in CIFS in the Linux kernel 2.6.29 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or potential code execution via a long nativeFileSystem field in a Tree Connect response to an SMB mount request.

    descriptionThe remote OracleVM system is missing necessary patches to address critical security updates : CVE-2008-3528 The error-reporting functionality in (1) fs/ext2/dir.c, (2) fs/ext3/dir.c, and possibly (3) fs/ext4/dir.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.26.5 does not limit the number of printk console messages that report directory corruption, which allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (temporary system hang) by mounting a filesystem that has corrupted dir->i_size and dir->i_blocks values and performing (a) read or (b) write operations. NOTE: there are limited scenarios in which this crosses privilege boundaries. CVE-2008-5700 libata in the Linux kernel before 2.6.27.9 does not set minimum timeouts for SG_IO requests, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (Programmed I/O mode on drives) via multiple simultaneous invocations of an unspecified test program. CVE-2009-0028 The clone system call in the Linux kernel 2.6.28 and earlier allows local users to send arbitrary signals to a parent process from an unprivileged child process by launching an additional child process with the CLONE_PARENT flag, and then letting this new process exit. CVE-2009-0322 drivers/firmware/dell_rbu.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.27.13, and 2.6.28.x before 2.6.28.2, allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a read system call that specifies zero bytes from the (1) image_type or (2) packet_size file in /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/.

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: 33906 CVE(CAN) ID: CVE-2009-0028 Linux Kernel是开放源码操作系统Linux所使用的内核。 Linux Kernel的clone()系统调用允许调用程序在其子进程退出的时候说明所接收到的信号类型。如果结合CLONE_PARENT利用的话，就会导致新的子进程与调用程序共享相同的父进程，这就允许向调用程序的父进程发送任意信号。 成功攻击要求特权的父进程将用户提供的应用程序启动为子进程，最可能的结果是杀死高权限的父进程。 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/ target=_blank rel=external nofollow>http://www.kernel.org/</a>
