Summary

The IA32 system call emulation functionality in arch/x86/ia32/ia32entry.S in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36-rc4-git2 on the x86_64 platform does not zero extend the %eax register after the 32-bit entry path to ptrace is used, which allows local users to gain privileges by triggering an out-of-bounds access to the system call table using the %rax register. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of a CVE-2007-4573 regression.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • 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.

      - Missing sanity checks in the Intel i915 driver in the
        Linux kernel could allow a local, unprivileged user to
        escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-2962, Important)
    
      - compat_alloc_user_space() in the Linux kernel 32/64-bit
        compatibility layer implementation was missing sanity
        checks. This function could be abused in other areas of
        the Linux kernel if its length argument can be
        controlled from user-space. On 64-bit systems, a local,
        unprivileged user could use this flaw to escalate their
        privileges. (CVE-2010-3081, Important)
    
      - A buffer overflow flaw in niu_get_ethtool_tcam_all() in
        the niu Ethernet driver in the Linux kernel, could allow
        a local user to cause a denial of service or escalate
        their privileges. (CVE-2010-3084, Important)
    
      - A flaw in the IA32 system call emulation provided in
        64-bit Linux kernels could allow a local user to
        escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-3301, Important)
    
      - A flaw in sctp_packet_config() in the Linux kernel's
        Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP)
        implementation could allow a remote attacker to cause a
        denial of service. (CVE-2010-3432, Important)
    
      - A missing integer overflow check in snd_ctl_new() in the
        Linux kernel's sound subsystem could allow a local,
        unprivileged user on a 32-bit system to cause a denial
        of service or escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-3442,
        Important)
    
      - A flaw was found in sctp_auth_asoc_get_hmac() in the
        Linux kernel's SCTP implementation. When iterating
        through the hmac_ids array, it did not reset the last id
        element if it was out of range. This could allow a
        remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
        (CVE-2010-3705, Important)
    
      - A function in the Linux kernel's Reliable Datagram
        Sockets (RDS) protocol implementation was missing sanity
        checks, which could allow a local, unprivileged user to
        escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-3904, Important)
    
      - A flaw in drm_ioctl() in the Linux kernel's Direct
        Rendering Manager (DRM) implementation could allow a
        local, unprivileged user to cause an information leak.
        (CVE-2010-2803, Moderate)
    
      - It was found that wireless drivers might not always
        clear allocated buffers when handling a driver-specific
        IOCTL information request. A local user could trigger
        this flaw to cause an information leak. (CVE-2010-2955,
        Moderate)
    
      - A NULL pointer dereference flaw in ftrace_regex_lseek()
        in the Linux kernel's ftrace implementation could allow
        a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service.
        Note: The debugfs file system must be mounted locally to
        exploit this issue. It is not mounted by default.
        (CVE-2010-3079, Moderate)
    
      - A flaw in the Linux kernel's packet writing driver could
        be triggered via the PKT_CTRL_CMD_STATUS IOCTL request,
        possibly allowing a local, unprivileged user with access
        to '/dev/pktcdvd/control' to cause an information leak.
        Note: By default, only users in the cdrom group have
        access to '/dev/pktcdvd/control'. (CVE-2010-3437,
        Moderate)
    
      - A flaw was found in the way KVM (Kernel-based Virtual
        Machine) handled the reloading of fs and gs segment
        registers when they had invalid selectors. A privileged
        host user with access to '/dev/kvm' could use this flaw
        to crash the host. (CVE-2010-3698, Moderate)
    
    This update also fixes several bugs.

Following security bugs were fixed : - Mismatch between 32bit and 64bit register usage in the system call entry path could be used by local attackers to gain root privileges. This problem only affects x86_64 kernels. (CVE-2010-3301) - Incorrect buffer handling in the biarch-compat buffer handling could be used by local attackers to gain root privileges. This problem affects foremost x86_64, or potentially other biarch platforms, like PowerPC and S390x. (CVE-2010-3081) - Integer overflow in net/can/bcm.c in the Controller Area Network (CAN) implementation in the Linux kernel allowed attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (system crash) via crafted CAN traffic.

    titleSuSE 11 Security Update : Linux kernel (SAT Patch Number 3164)
  • NASL familyMandriva Local Security Checks
    NASL idMANDRIVA_MDVSA-2010-247.NASL
    descriptionA vulnerability was discovered and corrected in the Linux 2.6 kernel : The compat_alloc_user_space functions in include/asm/compat.h files in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36-rc4-git2 on 64-bit platforms do not properly allocate the userspace memory required for the 32-bit compatibility layer, which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging the ability of the compat_mc_getsockopt function (aka the MCAST_MSFILTER getsockopt support) to control a certain length value, related to a stack pointer underflow issue, as exploited in the wild in September 2010. (CVE-2010-3081) The IA32 system call emulation functionality in arch/x86/ia32/ia32entry.S in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36-rc4-git2 on the x86_64 platform does not zero extend the %eax register after the 32-bit entry path to ptrace is used, which allows local users to gain privileges by triggering an out-of-bounds access to the system call table using the %rax register. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of a CVE-2007-4573 regression. (CVE-2010-3301) Integer overflow in the ext4_ext_get_blocks function in fs/ext4/extents.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.34 allows local users to cause a denial of service (BUG and system crash) via a write operation on the last block of a large file, followed by a sync operation. (CVE-2010-3015) Additionally, the kernel has been updated to the stable version 2.6.31.14. A timeout bug in bnx2 has been fixed. Muting and unmuting on VT1812/VT2002P now should work correctly. A fix for ACL decoding on NFS was added. Rebooting on Dell Precision WorkStation T7400 was corrected. Read balancing with RAID0 and RAID1 on drives larger then 2TB was also fixed. A more detailed description is available in the package changelog and related tickets. Thanks to Thomas Backlund and Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski for contributions in this update.
