Summary

The rds_page_copy_user function in net/rds/page.c in the Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS) protocol implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36 does not properly validate addresses obtained from user space, which allows local users to gain privileges via crafted use of the sendmsg and recvmsg system calls.

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.

        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

    titleLinux Kernel <= 2.6.36-rc8 - RDS Protocol Local Privilege Escalation
  • bulletinFamilyexploit
    descriptionBUGTRAQ ID: 44219 CVE ID: CVE-2010-3904 Linux Kernel是开放源码操作系统Linux所使用的内核。 在Linux上,使用了iovec结构执行recvmsg()样式套接字调用以允许用户指定用于接收套接字数据的缓冲区基址和大小。每个报文家族负责定义拷贝套接字数据的函数,内核接收到这些数据后返回给用户空间以便用户程序处理所接收到的网络数据。 在将数据拷贝到用户空间时,RDS协议没有确认用户所提供iovec结构的基址指向了有效的用户空间地址便使用 __copy_to_user_inatomic()函数拷贝数据。因此,如果提供内核地址为iovec基址并发布recvmsg()样式套接字调用,本地用户就可以向内核内存中写入任意数据,导致root用户权限提升。 Linux kernel &lt;= 2.6.36-rc8 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: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=799c10559d60f159ab2232203f222f18fa3c4a5f
