Summary

The skfp_ioctl function in drivers/net/skfp/skfddi.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28.6 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.

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.

However, given the high frequency at which low-severity security

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
value as an array index.

CVE-2009-0065: Buffer overflow in net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c in the
Stream Control Transmission Protocol (sctp) implementation in the
Linux kernel allows remote attackers to have an unknown impact via an
FWD-TSN (aka FORWARD-TSN) chunk with a large stream ID.

Some other non-security bugs were fixed, please see the RPM changelog."

    descriptionSome vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux 2.6 kernel : The skfp_ioctl function in drivers/net/skfp/skfddi.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28.6 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-2009-0675) The sock_getsockopt function in net/core/sock.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28.6 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-2009-0676) Additionaly, this update provides stable 1.0.18 ALSA updates/fixes, STAC92HD71Bx/STAC92HD75Bx hda-intel support changes/fixes (affects sound chip codecs used on several HP dv laptop series), fixes/enhancements for HP Educ.ar machine HDA sound support, minor alsa hda-intel code cleanup for ALC888 6stack-dell model, to stop printing uneeded output to kernel log, and a few more things.

    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/. CVE-2009-0675 The skfp_ioctl function in drivers/net/skfp/skfddi.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28.6 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

statementThis issue did not affect the version of Linux kernel as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 as the affected driver is not enabled in these kernels by default. The affected driver is enabled by default in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1, 3, 5, and Red Hat Enterprise MRG. It was addressed in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 via https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-0326.html and Red Hat Enterprise MRG via https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-0360.html . As Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 and 3 are now in Production 3 of their maintenance life-cycle, http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/errata, and this issue has been rated as having moderate impact, the fix for this issue is not currently planned to be included in the future updates.
