Summary

The wait_for_unix_gc function in net/unix/garbage.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37-rc3-next-20101125 does not properly select times for garbage collection of inflight sockets, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang) via crafted use of the socketpair and sendmsg system calls for SOCK_SEQPACKET sockets.

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • XML Ping of the Death
    An attacker initiates a resource depletion attack where a large number of small XML messages are delivered at a sufficiently rapid rate to cause a denial of service or crash of the target. Transactions such as repetitive SOAP transactions can deplete resources faster than a simple flooding attack because of the additional resources used by the SOAP protocol and the resources necessary to process SOAP messages. The transactions used are immaterial as long as they cause resource utilization on the target. In other words, this is a normal flooding attack augmented by using messages that will require extra processing on the target.
  • XML Entity Expansion
    An attacker submits an XML document to a target application where the XML document uses nested entity expansion to produce an excessively large output XML. XML allows the definition of macro-like structures that can be used to simplify the creation of complex structures. However, this capability can be abused to create excessive demands on a processor's CPU and memory. A small number of nested expansions can result in an exponential growth in demands on memory.
  • Inducing Account Lockout
    An attacker leverages the security functionality of the system aimed at thwarting potential attacks to launch a denial of service attack against a legitimate system user. Many systems, for instance, implement a password throttling mechanism that locks an account after a certain number of incorrect log in attempts. An attacker can leverage this throttling mechanism to lock a legitimate user out of their own account. The weakness that is being leveraged by an attacker is the very security feature that has been put in place to counteract attacks.
  • Violating Implicit Assumptions Regarding XML Content (aka XML Denial of Service (XDoS))
    XML Denial of Service (XDoS) can be applied to any technology that utilizes XML data. This is, of course, most distributed systems technology including Java, .Net, databases, and so on. XDoS is most closely associated with web services, SOAP, and Rest, because remote service requesters can post malicious XML payloads to the service provider designed to exhaust the service provider's memory, CPU, and/or disk space. The main weakness in XDoS is that the service provider generally must inspect, parse, and validate the XML messages to determine routing, workflow, security considerations, and so on. It is exactly these inspection, parsing, and validation routines that XDoS targets. There are three primary attack vectors that XDoS can navigate Target CPU through recursion: attacker creates a recursive payload and sends to service provider Target memory through jumbo payloads: service provider uses DOM to parse XML. DOM creates in memory representation of XML document, but when document is very large (for example, north of 1 Gb) service provider host may exhaust memory trying to build memory objects. XML Ping of death: attack service provider with numerous small files that clog the system. All of the above attacks exploit the loosely coupled nature of web services, where the service provider has little to no control over the service requester and any messages the service requester sends.

    Updated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues and two bugs
    are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
    
    The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having
    important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS)
    base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for
    each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.
    
    The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
    operating system.
    
    This update fixes the following security issues :
    
    * A heap overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Transparent
    Inter-Process Communication protocol (TIPC) implementation. A local,
    unprivileged user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges.
    (CVE-2010-3859, Important)
    
    * Missing sanity checks were found in gdth_ioctl_alloc() in the gdth
    driver in the Linux kernel. A local user with access to '/dev/gdth' on
    a 64-bit system could use these flaws to cause a denial of service or
    escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-4157, Moderate)
    
    * A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Bluetooth HCI UART
    driver in the Linux kernel. A local, unprivileged user could use this
    flaw to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4242, Moderate)
    
    * A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's garbage collector for AF_UNIX
    sockets. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to trigger a
    denial of service (out-of-memory condition). (CVE-2010-4249, Moderate)
    
    * Missing initialization flaws were found in the Linux kernel. A
    local, unprivileged user could use these flaws to cause information
    leaks. (CVE-2010-3876, CVE-2010-4072, CVE-2010-4073, CVE-2010-4075,
    CVE-2010-4080, CVE-2010-4083, CVE-2010-4158, Low)
    
    Red Hat would like to thank Alan Cox for reporting CVE-2010-4242;
    Vegard Nossum for reporting CVE-2010-4249; Vasiliy Kulikov for
    reporting CVE-2010-3876; Kees Cook for reporting CVE-2010-4072; and
    Dan Rosenberg for reporting CVE-2010-4073, CVE-2010-4075,
    CVE-2010-4080, CVE-2010-4083, and CVE-2010-4158.
    
    This update also fixes the following bugs :
    
    * A flaw was found in the Linux kernel where, if used in conjunction
    with another flaw that can result in a kernel Oops, could possibly
    lead to privilege escalation. It does not affect Red Hat Enterprise
    Linux 4 as the sysctl panic_on_oops variable is turned on by default.
    However, as a preventive measure if the variable is turned off by an
    administrator, this update addresses the issue. Red Hat would like to
    thank Nelson Elhage for reporting this vulnerability. (BZ#659568)
    
    * On Intel I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) hardware, jumbo frame support
    is achieved by using page-based sk_buff buffers without any packet
    split. The entire frame data is copied to the page(s) rather than some
    to the skb->data area and some to the page(s) when performing a
    typical packet-split. This caused problems with the filtering code and
    frames were getting dropped before they were received by listening
    applications. This bug could eventually lead to the IP address being
    released and not being able to be re-acquired from DHCP if the MTU
    (Maximum Transfer Unit) was changed (for an affected interface using
    the e1000e driver). With this update, frames are no longer dropped and
    an IP address is correctly re-acquired after a previous release.
    (BZ#664667)
    
    Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
    backported patches to correct these issues. The system must be
    rebooted for this update to take effect."

    are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
    
    The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having
    important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS)
    base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for
    each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.
    
    The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
    operating system.
    
    This update fixes the following security issues :
    
    * A heap overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Transparent
    Inter-Process Communication protocol (TIPC) implementation. A local,
    unprivileged user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges.
    (CVE-2010-3859, Important)
    
    * Missing sanity checks were found in gdth_ioctl_alloc() in the gdth
    driver in the Linux kernel. A local user with access to '/dev/gdth' on
    a 64-bit system could use these flaws to cause a denial of service or
    escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-4157, Moderate)
    
    * A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Bluetooth HCI UART
    driver in the Linux kernel. A local, unprivileged user could use this
    flaw to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4242, Moderate)
    
    * A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's garbage collector for AF_UNIX
    sockets. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to trigger a
    denial of service (out-of-memory condition). (CVE-2010-4249, Moderate)
    
    * Missing initialization flaws were found in the Linux kernel. A
    local, unprivileged user could use these flaws to cause information
    leaks. (CVE-2010-3876, CVE-2010-4072, CVE-2010-4073, CVE-2010-4075,
    CVE-2010-4080, CVE-2010-4083, CVE-2010-4158, Low)
    
    Red Hat would like to thank Alan Cox for reporting CVE-2010-4242;
    Vegard Nossum for reporting CVE-2010-4249; Vasiliy Kulikov for
    reporting CVE-2010-3876; Kees Cook for reporting CVE-2010-4072; and
    Dan Rosenberg for reporting CVE-2010-4073, CVE-2010-4075,
    CVE-2010-4080, CVE-2010-4083, and CVE-2010-4158.
    
    This update also fixes the following bugs :
    
    * A flaw was found in the Linux kernel where, if used in conjunction
    with another flaw that can result in a kernel Oops, could possibly
    lead to privilege escalation. It does not affect Red Hat Enterprise
    Linux 4 as the sysctl panic_on_oops variable is turned on by default.
    However, as a preventive measure if the variable is turned off by an
    administrator, this update addresses the issue. Red Hat would like to
    thank Nelson Elhage for reporting this vulnerability. (BZ#659568)
    
    * On Intel I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) hardware, jumbo frame support
    is achieved by using page-based sk_buff buffers without any packet
    split. The entire frame data is copied to the page(s) rather than some
    to the skb->data area and some to the page(s) when performing a
    typical packet-split. This caused problems with the filtering code and
    frames were getting dropped before they were received by listening
    applications. This bug could eventually lead to the IP address being
    released and not being able to be re-acquired from DHCP if the MTU
    (Maximum Transfer Unit) was changed (for an affected interface using
    the e1000e driver). With this update, frames are no longer dropped and
    an IP address is correctly re-acquired after a previous release.
    (BZ#664667)
    
    Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
    backported patches to correct these issues. The system must be
    rebooted for this update to take effect."

    descriptionGleb Napatov discovered that KVM did not correctly check certain privileged operations. A local attacker with access to a guest kernel could exploit this to crash the host system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-0435) Dan Rosenberg discovered that the Linux kernel TIPC implementation contained multiple integer signedness errors. A local attacker could exploit this to gain root privileges. (CVE-2010-3859) Dan Rosenberg discovered that the Linux kernel X.25 implementation incorrectly parsed facilities. A remote attacker could exploit this to crash the kernel, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-3873) Dan Rosenberg discovered that the CAN protocol on 64bit systems did not correctly calculate the size of certain buffers. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system or possibly execute arbitrary code as the root user. (CVE-2010-3874) Vasiliy Kulikov discovered that kvm did not correctly clear memory. A local attacker could exploit this to read portions of the kernel stack, leading to a loss of privacy. (CVE-2010-3881) Dan Rosenberg discovered that IPC structures were not correctly initialized on 64bit systems. A local attacker could exploit this to read kernel stack memory, leading to a loss of privacy. (CVE-2010-4073) Dan Rosenberg discovered that the ivtv V4L driver did not correctly initialize certian structures. A local attacker could exploit this to read kernel stack memory, leading to a loss of privacy. (CVE-2010-4079) Dan Rosenberg discovered that the semctl syscall did not correctly clear kernel memory. A local attacker could exploit this to read kernel stack memory, leading to a loss of privacy. (CVE-2010-4083) Dan Rosenberg discovered that the socket filters did not correctly initialize structure memory. A local attacker could create malicious filters to read portions of kernel stack memory, leading to a loss of privacy.

A local attacker could exploit this to to crash the kernel, or possibly gain root privileges. (CVE-2010-4160) Dan Rosenberg discovered that certain iovec operations did not calculate page counts correctly. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4162) Dan Rosenberg discovered multiple flaws in the X.25 facilities parsing. If a system was using X.25, a remote attacker could exploit this to crash the system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4164) Steve Chen discovered that setsockopt did not correctly check MSS values. A local attacker could make a specially crafted socket call to crash the system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4165) Dave Jones discovered that the mprotect system call did not correctly handle merged VMAs. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4169) Dan Rosenberg discovered that the RDS protocol did not correctly check ioctl arguments. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4175) Brad Spengler discovered that the kernel did not correctly account for userspace memory allocations during exec() calls. A local attacker could exploit this to consume all system memory, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4243) Vegard Nossum discovered that memory garbage collection was not handled correctly for active sockets. A local attacker could exploit this to allocate all available kernel memory, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4249) It was discovered that named pipes did not correctly handle certain fcntl calls. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4256) Nelson Elhage discovered that the kernel did not correctly handle process cleanup after triggering a recoverable kernel bug. If a local attacker were able to trigger certain kinds of kernel bugs, they could create a specially crafted process to gain root privileges. (CVE-2010-4258).
