Summary

The socket implementation in net/core/sock.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.34 does not properly manage a backlog of received packets, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by sending a large amount of network traffic, as demonstrated by netperf UDP tests.

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.

    NASL idSUSE_KERNEL-7568.NASL
    descriptionThis kernel update for the SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP3 kernel fixes several security issues and bugs. The following security issues were fixed : - Multiple integer overflows in the next_pidmap function in kernel/pid.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted (1) getdents or (2) readdir system call. (CVE-2011-1593) - Only half of the fix for this vulnerability was only applied, the fix was completed now. Original text: drivers/net/e1000/e1000_main.c in the e1000 driver in the Linux kernel handled Ethernet frames that exceed the MTU by processing certain trailing payload data as if it were a complete frame, which allows remote attackers to bypass packet filters via a large packet with a crafted payload. (CVE-2009-4536) - Boundschecking was missing in AARESOLVE_OFFSET in the SCTP protocol, which allowed local attackers to overwrite kernel memory and so escalate privileges or crash the kernel. (CVE-2011-1573) - Heap-based buffer overflow in the ldm_frag_add function in fs/partitions/ldm.c in the Linux kernel might have allowed local users to gain privileges or obtain sensitive information via a crafted LDM partition table. (CVE-2011-1017) - When using a setuid root mount.cifs, local users could hijack password protected mounted CIFS shares of other local users. (CVE-2011-1585) - Kernel information via the TPM devices could by used by local attackers to read kernel memory. (CVE-2011-1160) - The Linux kernel automatically evaluated partition tables of storage devices. The code for evaluating EFI GUID partitions (in fs/partitions/efi.c) contained a bug that causes a kernel oops on certain corrupted GUID partition tables, which might be used by local attackers to crash the kernel or potentially execute code. (CVE-2011-1577) - In the IrDA module, length fields provided by a peer for names and attributes may be longer than the destination array sizes and were not checked, this allowed local attackers (close to the irda port) to potentially corrupt memory. (CVE-2011-1180) - A system out of memory condition (denial of service) could be triggered with a large socket backlog, exploitable by local users. This has been addressed by backlog limiting. (CVE-2010-4251) - The Radeon GPU drivers in the Linux kernel did not properly validate data related to the AA resolve registers, which allowed local users to write to arbitrary memory locations associated with (1) Video RAM (aka VRAM) or (2) the Graphics Translation Table (GTT) via crafted values. (CVE-2011-1016) - When parsing the FAC_NATIONAL_DIGIS facilities field, it was possible for a remote host to provide more digipeaters than expected, resulting in heap corruption. (CVE-2011-1493) - Local attackers could send signals to their programs that looked like coming from the kernel, potentially gaining privileges in the context of setuid programs. (CVE-2011-1182) - The code for evaluating LDM partitions (in fs/partitions/ldm.c) contained bugs that could crash the kernel for certain corrupted LDM partitions. (CVE-2011-1017 / CVE-2011-1012) - The code for evaluating Mac partitions (in fs/partitions/mac.c) contained a bug that could crash the kernel for certain corrupted Mac partitions. (CVE-2011-1010) - The code for evaluating OSF partitions (in fs/partitions/osf.c) contained a bug that leaks data from kernel heap memory to userspace for certain corrupted OSF partitions. (CVE-2011-1163) - Specially crafted requests may be written to /dev/sequencer resulting in an underflow when calculating a size for a copy_from_user() operation in the driver for MIDI interfaces. On x86, this just returns an error, but it could have caused memory corruption on other architectures. Other malformed requests could have resulted in the use of uninitialized variables. (CVE-2011-1476) - Due to a failure to validate user-supplied indexes in the driver for Yamaha YM3812 and OPL-3 chips, a specially crafted ioctl request could have been sent to /dev/sequencer, resulting in reading and writing beyond the bounds of heap buffers, and potentially allowing privilege escalation. (CVE-2011-1477) - A information leak in the XFS geometry calls could be used by local attackers to gain access to kernel information. (CVE-2011-0191) - The sctp_rcv_ootb function in the SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via (1) an Out Of The Blue (OOTB) chunk or (2) a chunk of zero length.

        payload. (CVE-2009-4536)
    
      - Boundschecking was missing in AARESOLVE_OFFSET in the
        SCTP protocol, which allowed local attackers to
        overwrite kernel memory and so escalate privileges or
        crash the kernel. (CVE-2011-1573)
    
      - Heap-based buffer overflow in the ldm_frag_add function
        in fs/partitions/ldm.c in the Linux kernel might have
        allowed local users to gain privileges or obtain
        sensitive information via a crafted LDM partition table.
        (CVE-2011-1017)
    
      - When using a setuid root mount.cifs, local users could
        hijack password protected mounted CIFS shares of other
        local users. (CVE-2011-1585)
    
      - Kernel information via the TPM devices could by used by
        local attackers to read kernel memory. (CVE-2011-1160)
    
      - The Linux kernel automatically evaluated partition
        tables of storage devices. The code for evaluating EFI
        GUID partitions (in fs/partitions/efi.c) contained a bug
        that causes a kernel oops on certain corrupted GUID
        partition tables, which might be used by local attackers
        to crash the kernel or potentially execute code.
        (CVE-2011-1577)
    
      - In the IrDA module, length fields provided by a peer for
        names and attributes may be longer than the destination
        array sizes and were not checked, this allowed local
        attackers (close to the irda port) to potentially
        corrupt memory. (CVE-2011-1180)
    
      - A system out of memory condition (denial of service)
        could be triggered with a large socket backlog,
        exploitable by local users. This has been addressed by
        backlog limiting. (CVE-2010-4251)
    
      - The Radeon GPU drivers in the Linux kernel did not
        properly validate data related to the AA resolve
        registers, which allowed local users to write to
        arbitrary memory locations associated with (1) Video RAM
        (aka VRAM) or (2) the Graphics Translation Table (GTT)
        via crafted values. (CVE-2011-1016)
    
      - When parsing the FAC_NATIONAL_DIGIS facilities field, it
        was possible for a remote host to provide more
        digipeaters than expected, resulting in heap corruption.
        (CVE-2011-1493)
    
      - Local attackers could send signals to their programs
        that looked like coming from the kernel, potentially
        gaining privileges in the context of setuid programs.
        (CVE-2011-1182)
    
      - The code for evaluating LDM partitions (in
        fs/partitions/ldm.c) contained bugs that could crash the
        kernel for certain corrupted LDM partitions.
        (CVE-2011-1017 / CVE-2011-1012)
    
      - The code for evaluating Mac partitions (in
        fs/partitions/mac.c) contained a bug that could crash
        the kernel for certain corrupted Mac partitions.
        (CVE-2011-1010)
    
      - The code for evaluating OSF partitions (in
        fs/partitions/osf.c) contained a bug that leaks data
        from kernel heap memory to userspace for certain
        corrupted OSF partitions. (CVE-2011-1163)
    
      - Specially crafted requests may be written to
        /dev/sequencer resulting in an underflow when
        calculating a size for a copy_from_user() operation in
        the driver for MIDI interfaces. On x86, this just
        returns an error, but it could have caused memory
        corruption on other architectures. Other malformed
        requests could have resulted in the use of uninitialized
        variables. (CVE-2011-1476)
    
      - Due to a failure to validate user-supplied indexes in
        the driver for Yamaha YM3812 and OPL-3 chips, a
        specially crafted ioctl request could have been sent to
        /dev/sequencer, resulting in reading and writing beyond
        the bounds of heap buffers, and potentially allowing
        privilege escalation. (CVE-2011-1477)
    
      - A information leak in the XFS geometry calls could be
        used by local attackers to gain access to kernel
        information. (CVE-2011-0191)
    
      - The sctp_rcv_ootb function in the SCTP implementation in
        the Linux kernel allowed remote attackers to cause a
        denial of service (infinite loop) via (1) an Out Of The
        Blue (OOTB) chunk or (2) a chunk of zero length.

    This update fixes the following security issues :
    
      - Multiple buffer overflow flaws were found in the Linux
        kernel's Management Module Support for Message Passing
        Technology (MPT) based controllers. A local,
        unprivileged user could use these flaws to cause a
        denial of service, an information leak, or escalate
        their privileges. (CVE-2011-1494, CVE-2011-1495,
        Important)
    
      - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Ethernet bonding
        driver implementation. Packets coming in from network
        devices that have more than 16 receive queues to a
        bonding interface could cause a denial of service.
        (CVE-2011-1581, Important)
    
      - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's networking
        subsystem. If the number of packets received exceeded
        the receiver's buffer limit, they were queued in a
        backlog, consuming memory, instead of being discarded. A
        remote attacker could abuse this flaw to cause a denial
        of service (out-of-memory condition). (CVE-2010-4251,
        Moderate)
    
      - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Transparent Huge
        Pages (THP) implementation. A local, unprivileged user
        could abuse this flaw to allow the user stack (when it
        is using huge pages) to grow and cause a denial of
        service. (CVE-2011-0999, Moderate)
    
      - A flaw was found in the transmit methods (xmit) for the
        loopback and InfiniBand transports in the Linux kernel's
        Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS) implementation. A local,
        unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial
        of service. (CVE-2011-1023, Moderate)
    
      - A flaw in the Linux kernel's Event Poll (epoll)
        implementation could allow a local, unprivileged user to
        cause a denial of service. (CVE-2011-1082, Moderate)
    
      - An inconsistency was found in the interaction between
        the Linux kernel's method for allocating NFSv4 (Network
        File System version 4) ACL data and the method by which
        it was freed. This inconsistency led to a kernel panic
        which could be triggered by a local, unprivileged user
        with files owned by said user on an NFSv4 share.
        (CVE-2011-1090, Moderate)
    
      - A missing validation check was found in the Linux
        kernel's mac_partition() implementation, used for
        supporting file systems created on Mac OS operating
        systems. A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a
        denial of service by mounting a disk that contains
        specially crafted partitions. (CVE-2011-1010, Low)
    
      - A buffer overflow flaw in the DEC Alpha OSF partition
        implementation in the Linux kernel could allow a local
        attacker to cause an information leak by mounting a disk
        that contains specially crafted partition tables.
        (CVE-2011-1163, Low)
    
      - Missing validations of null-terminated string data
        structure elements in the do_replace(),
        compat_do_replace(), do_ipt_get_ctl(),
        do_ip6t_get_ctl(), and do_arpt_get_ctl() functions could
        allow a local user who has the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability
        to cause an information leak. (CVE-2011-1170,
        CVE-2011-1171, CVE-2011-1172, Low)
    
    This update also fixes several hundred bugs and adds enhancements.
    
    The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect."

    descriptionThis kernel update for the SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP4 kernel fixes several security issues and bugs. The following security issues were fixed : - The code for evaluating LDM partitions (in fs/partitions/ldm.c) contained bugs that could crash the kernel for certain corrupted LDM partitions. (CVE-2011-1017 / CVE-2011-1012) - Boundschecking was missing in AARESOLVE_OFFSET, which allowed local attackers to overwrite kernel memory and so escalate privileges or crash the kernel. (CVE-2011-1573) - When using a setuid root mount.cifs, local users could hijack password protected mounted CIFS shares of other local users. (CVE-2011-1585) - Kernel information via the TPM devices could by used by local attackers to read kernel memory. (CVE-2011-1160) - The Linux kernel automatically evaluated partition tables of storage devices. The code for evaluating EFI GUID partitions (in fs/partitions/efi.c) contained a bug that causes a kernel oops on certain corrupted GUID partition tables, which might be used by local attackers to crash the kernel or potentially execute code. (CVE-2011-1577) - In the IrDA module, length fields provided by a peer for names and attributes may be longer than the destination array sizes and were not checked, this allowed local attackers (close to the irda port) to potentially corrupt memory. (CVE-2011-1180) - A system out of memory condition (denial of service) could be triggered with a large socket backlog, exploitable by local users. This has been addressed by backlog limiting. (CVE-2010-4251) - The Radeon GPU drivers in the Linux kernel did not properly validate data related to the AA resolve registers, which allowed local users to write to arbitrary memory locations associated with (1) Video RAM (aka VRAM) or (2) the Graphics Translation Table (GTT) via crafted values. (CVE-2011-1016) - When parsing the FAC_NATIONAL_DIGIS facilities field, it was possible for a remote host to provide more digipeaters than expected, resulting in heap corruption. (CVE-2011-1493) - Local attackers could send signals to their programs that looked like coming from the kernel, potentially gaining privileges in the context of setuid programs. (CVE-2011-1182) - The code for evaluating Mac partitions (in fs/partitions/mac.c) contained a bug that could crash the kernel for certain corrupted Mac partitions. (CVE-2011-1010) - The code for evaluating OSF partitions (in fs/partitions/osf.c) contained a bug that leaks data from kernel heap memory to userspace for certain corrupted OSF partitions. (CVE-2011-1163) - Specially crafted requests may be written to /dev/sequencer resulting in an underflow when calculating a size for a copy_from_user() operation in the driver for MIDI interfaces. On x86, this just returns an error, but it could have caused memory corruption on other architectures. Other malformed requests could have resulted in the use of uninitialized variables. (CVE-2011-1476) - Due to a failure to validate user-supplied indexes in the driver for Yamaha YM3812 and OPL-3 chips, a specially crafted ioctl request could have been sent to /dev/sequencer, resulting in reading and writing beyond the bounds of heap buffers, and potentially allowing privilege escalation. (CVE-2011-1477) - A information leak in the XFS geometry calls could be used by local attackers to gain access to kernel information. (CVE-2011-0191) - The sctp_rcv_ootb function in the SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via (1) an Out Of The Blue (OOTB) chunk or (2) a chunk of zero length.

    The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having
    moderate 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 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)
    
    * A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's networking subsystem. If the
    number of packets received exceeded the receiver's buffer limit, they
    were queued in a backlog, consuming memory, instead of being
    discarded. A remote attacker could abuse this flaw to cause a denial
    of service (out-of-memory condition). (CVE-2010-4251, Moderate)
    
    * A missing initialization flaw was found in the ethtool_get_regs()
    function in the Linux kernel's ethtool IOCTL handler. A local user who
    has the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability could use this flaw to cause an
    information leak. (CVE-2010-4655, Low)
    
    Red Hat would like to thank Vegard Nossum for reporting CVE-2010-4249,
    and Kees Cook for reporting CVE-2010-4655.
    
    This update also fixes several bugs. Documentation for these bug fixes
    will be available shortly from the Technical Notes document linked to
    in the References section.
    
    Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
    backported patches to correct these issues, and fix the bugs noted in
    the Technical Notes. The system must be rebooted for this update to
    take effect."

    descriptionThis kernel update for the SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP4 kernel fixes several security issues and bugs. The following security issues were fixed : - The code for evaluating LDM partitions (in fs/partitions/ldm.c) contained bugs that could crash the kernel for certain corrupted LDM partitions. (CVE-2011-1017 / CVE-2011-1012) - Boundschecking was missing in AARESOLVE_OFFSET, which allowed local attackers to overwrite kernel memory and so escalate privileges or crash the kernel. (CVE-2011-1573) - When using a setuid root mount.cifs, local users could hijack password protected mounted CIFS shares of other local users. (CVE-2011-1585) - Kernel information via the TPM devices could by used by local attackers to read kernel memory. (CVE-2011-1160) - The Linux kernel automatically evaluated partition tables of storage devices. The code for evaluating EFI GUID partitions (in fs/partitions/efi.c) contained a bug that causes a kernel oops on certain corrupted GUID partition tables, which might be used by local attackers to crash the kernel or potentially execute code. (CVE-2011-1577) - In the IrDA module, length fields provided by a peer for names and attributes may be longer than the destination array sizes and were not checked, this allowed local attackers (close to the irda port) to potentially corrupt memory. (CVE-2011-1180) - A system out of memory condition (denial of service) could be triggered with a large socket backlog, exploitable by local users. This has been addressed by backlog limiting. (CVE-2010-4251) - The Radeon GPU drivers in the Linux kernel did not properly validate data related to the AA resolve registers, which allowed local users to write to arbitrary memory locations associated with (1) Video RAM (aka VRAM) or (2) the Graphics Translation Table (GTT) via crafted values. (CVE-2011-1016) - When parsing the FAC_NATIONAL_DIGIS facilities field, it was possible for a remote host to provide more digipeaters than expected, resulting in heap corruption. (CVE-2011-1493) - Local attackers could send signals to their programs that looked like coming from the kernel, potentially gaining privileges in the context of setuid programs. (CVE-2011-1182) - The code for evaluating Mac partitions (in fs/partitions/mac.c) contained a bug that could crash the kernel for certain corrupted Mac partitions. (CVE-2011-1010) - The code for evaluating OSF partitions (in fs/partitions/osf.c) contained a bug that leaks data from kernel heap memory to userspace for certain corrupted OSF partitions. (CVE-2011-1163) - Specially crafted requests may be written to /dev/sequencer resulting in an underflow when calculating a size for a copy_from_user() operation in the driver for MIDI interfaces. On x86, this just returns an error, but it could have caused memory corruption on other architectures. Other malformed requests could have resulted in the use of uninitialized variables. (CVE-2011-1476) - Due to a failure to validate user-supplied indexes in the driver for Yamaha YM3812 and OPL-3 chips, a specially crafted ioctl request could have been sent to /dev/sequencer, resulting in reading and writing beyond the bounds of heap buffers, and potentially allowing privilege escalation. (CVE-2011-1477) - A information leak in the XFS geometry calls could be used by local attackers to gain access to kernel information. (CVE-2011-0191) - The sctp_rcv_ootb function in the SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via (1) an Out Of The Blue (OOTB) chunk or (2) a chunk of zero length.

    NASL idSUSE_11_KERNEL-110414.NASL
    descriptionThe SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 1 kernel was updated to 2.6.32.36 and fixes various bugs and security issues. The following security issues were fixed : - When parsing the FAC_NATIONAL_DIGIS facilities field, it was possible for a remote host to provide more digipeaters than expected, resulting in heap corruption. (CVE-2011-1493) - (no CVEs assigned yet): In the rose networking stack, when parsing the FAC_CCITT_DEST_NSAP and FAC_CCITT_SRC_NSAP facilities fields, a remote host could provide a length of less than 10, resulting in an underflow in a memcpy size, causing a kernel panic due to massive heap corruption. A length of greater than 20 results in a stack overflow of the callsign array - The code for evaluating OSF partitions (in fs/partitions/osf.c) contained a bug that leaks data from kernel heap memory to userspace for certain corrupted OSF partitions. (CVE-2011-1163) - A bug in the order of dccp_rcv_state_process() was fixed that still permitted reception even after closing the socket. A Reset after close thus causes a NULL pointer dereference by not preventing operations on an already torn-down socket. (CVE-2011-1093) - A signedness issue in drm_modeset_ctl() could be used by local attackers with access to the drm devices to potentially crash the kernel or escalate privileges. (CVE-2011-1013) - The epoll subsystem in Linux did not prevent users from creating circular epoll file structures, potentially leading to a denial of service (kernel deadlock). (CVE-2011-1082) - Multiple buffer overflows in the caiaq Native Instruments USB audio functionality in the Linux kernel might have allowed attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long USB device name, related to (1) the snd_usb_caiaq_audio_init function in sound/usb/caiaq/audio.c and (2) the snd_usb_caiaq_midi_init function in sound/usb/caiaq/midi.c. (CVE-2011-0712) - Local attackers could send signals to their programs that looked like coming from the kernel, potentially gaining privileges in the context of setuid programs. (CVE-2011-1182) - An issue in the core GRO code where an skb belonging to an unknown VLAN is reused could result in a NULL pointer dereference. (CVE-2011-1478) - Specially crafted requests may be written to /dev/sequencer resulting in an underflow when calculating a size for a copy_from_user() operation in the driver for MIDI interfaces. On x86, this just returns an error, but it could have caused memory corruption on other architectures. Other malformed requests could have resulted in the use of uninitialized variables.
