Summary

The install_special_mapping function in mm/mmap.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37-rc6 does not make an expected security_file_mmap function call, which allows local users to bypass intended mmap_min_addr restrictions and possibly conduct NULL pointer dereference attacks via a crafted assembly-language application.

    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 missing boundary check was found in the dvb_ca_ioctl() function in
    the Linux kernel's av7110 module. On systems that use old DVB cards
    that require the av7110 module, a local, unprivileged user could use
    this flaw to cause a denial of service or escalate their privileges.
    (CVE-2011-0521, Important)
    
    * 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 NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Generic Receive
    Offload (GRO) functionality in the Linux kernel's networking
    implementation. If both GRO and promiscuous mode were enabled on an
    interface in a virtual LAN (VLAN), it could result in a denial of
    service when a malformed VLAN frame is received on that interface.
    (CVE-2011-1478, Moderate)
    
    * A missing security check in the Linux kernel's implementation of the
    install_special_mapping() function could allow a local, unprivileged
    user to bypass the mmap_min_addr protection mechanism. (CVE-2010-4346,
    Low)
    
    * An information leak was found in the Linux kernel's task_show_regs()
    implementation. On IBM S/390 systems, a local, unprivileged user could
    use this flaw to read /proc/[PID]/status files, allowing them to
    discover the CPU register values of processes. (CVE-2011-0710, Low)
    
    * 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)
    
    Red Hat would like to thank Ryan Sweat for reporting CVE-2011-1478;
    Tavis Ormandy for reporting CVE-2010-4346; and Timo Warns for
    reporting CVE-2011-1010.
    
    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."

        Transmission Protocol (SCTP) implementation. A remote
        attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of
        service. (CVE-2010-4526, Important)

        (CVE-2011-0521, Important)
    
      - A race condition was found in the way the Linux kernel's
        InfiniBand implementation set up new connections. This
        could allow a remote user to cause a denial of service.
        (CVE-2011-0695, Important)
    
      - A heap overflow flaw in the iowarrior_write() function
        could allow a user with access to an IO-Warrior USB
        device, that supports more than 8 bytes per report, to
        cause a denial of service or escalate their privileges.
        (CVE-2010-4656, Moderate)
    
      - A flaw was found in the way the Linux Ethernet bridge
        implementation handled certain IGMP (Internet Group
        Management Protocol) packets. A local, unprivileged user
        on a system that has a network interface in an Ethernet
        bridge could use this flaw to crash that system
        (CVE-2011-0716, Moderate)

      - A missing security check in the Linux kernel's
        implementation of the install_special_mapping() function
        could allow a local, unprivileged user to bypass the
        mmap_min_addr protection mechanism. (CVE-2010-4346, Low)
    
      - A logic error in the orinoco_ioctl_set_auth() function
        in the Linux kernel's ORiNOCO wireless extensions
        support implementation could render TKIP countermeasures
        ineffective when it is enabled, as it enabled the card

      - 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

    "From Red Hat Security Advisory 2011:0421 :
    
    Updated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues and several
    bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
    
    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 flaw was found in the sctp_icmp_proto_unreachable() function in
    the Linux kernel's Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP)
    implementation. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause a
    denial of service. (CVE-2010-4526, Important)
    
    * A missing boundary check was found in the dvb_ca_ioctl() function in
    the Linux kernel's av7110 module. On systems that use old DVB cards
    that require the av7110 module, a local, unprivileged user could use
    this flaw to cause a denial of service or escalate their privileges.
    (CVE-2011-0521, Important)
    
    * A race condition was found in the way the Linux kernel's InfiniBand
    implementation set up new connections. This could allow a remote user
    to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2011-0695, Important)
    
    * A heap overflow flaw in the iowarrior_write() function could allow a
    user with access to an IO-Warrior USB device, that supports more than
    8 bytes per report, to cause a denial of service or escalate their
    privileges. (CVE-2010-4656, Moderate)
    
    * A flaw was found in the way the Linux Ethernet bridge implementation
    handled certain IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) packets. A
    local, unprivileged user on a system that has a network interface in
    an Ethernet bridge could use this flaw to crash that system.
    (CVE-2011-0716, Moderate)
    
    * A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Generic Receive
    Offload (GRO) functionality in the Linux kernel's networking
    implementation. If both GRO and promiscuous mode were enabled on an
    interface in a virtual LAN (VLAN), it could result in a denial of
    service when a malformed VLAN frame is received on that interface.
    (CVE-2011-1478, Moderate)
    
    * A missing initialization flaw in the Linux kernel could lead to an
    information leak. (CVE-2010-3296, Low)
    
    * A missing security check in the Linux kernel's implementation of the
    install_special_mapping() function could allow a local, unprivileged
    user to bypass the mmap_min_addr protection mechanism. (CVE-2010-4346,
    Low)
    
    * A logic error in the orinoco_ioctl_set_auth() function in the Linux
    kernel's ORiNOCO wireless extensions support implementation could
    render TKIP countermeasures ineffective when it is enabled, as it
    enabled the card instead of shutting it down. (CVE-2010-4648, Low)
    
    * 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)
    
    * An information leak was found in the Linux kernel's task_show_regs()
    implementation. On IBM S/390 systems, a local, unprivileged user could
    use this flaw to read /proc/[PID]/status files, allowing them to
    discover the CPU register values of processes. (CVE-2011-0710, Low)
    
    Red Hat would like to thank Jens Kuehnel for reporting CVE-2011-0695;
    Kees Cook for reporting CVE-2010-4656 and CVE-2010-4655; Dan Rosenberg
    for reporting CVE-2010-3296; and Tavis Ormandy for reporting
    CVE-2010-4346.
    
    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."

    NASL idSUSE_11_2_KERNEL-110413.NASL
    descriptionThis update of the openSUSE 11.2 kernel fixes lots of security issues. Following security issues were fixed: CVE-2011-1493: In the rose networking stack, 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. Check against ROSE_MAX_DIGIS to prevent overflows, and abort facilities parsing on failure. CVE-2011-1182: 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-2011-1082: 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-2011-1163: 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-2011-1012: The code for evaluating LDM partitions (in fs/partitions/ldm.c) contained a bug that could crash the kernel for certain corrupted LDM partitions. CVE-2011-1010: 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-2011-1476: 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-2011-1477: 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-2011-1090: A page allocator issue in NFS v4 ACL handling that could lead to a denial of service (crash) was fixed. CVE-2010-3880: net/ipv4/inet_diag.c in the Linux kernel did not properly audit INET_DIAG bytecode, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (kernel infinite loop) via crafted INET_DIAG_REQ_BYTECODE instructions in a netlink message that contains multiple attribute elements, as demonstrated by INET_DIAG_BC_JMP instructions. CVE-2011-0521: The dvb_ca_ioctl function in drivers/media/dvb/ttpci/av7110_ca.c in the Linux kernel did not check the sign of a certain integer field, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a negative value. CVE-2010-3875: The ax25_getname function in net/ax25/af_ax25.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain structure, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory by reading a copy of this structure. CVE-2010-3876: net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize certain structure members, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory by leveraging the CAP_NET_RAW capability to read copies of the applicable structures. CVE-2010-3877: The get_name function in net/tipc/socket.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain structure, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory by reading a copy of this structure. CVE-2010-3705: The sctp_auth_asoc_get_hmac function in net/sctp/auth.c in the Linux kernel did not properly validate the hmac_ids array of an SCTP peer, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and panic) via a crafted value in the last element of this array. CVE-2011-0711: A stack memory information leak in the xfs FSGEOMETRY_V1 ioctl was fixed. CVE-2011-0712: 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-2010-1173: The sctp_process_unk_param function in net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c in the Linux kernel, when SCTP is enabled, allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via an SCTPChunkInit packet containing multiple invalid parameters that require a large amount of error data. CVE-2010-4075: The uart_get_count function in drivers/serial/serial_core.c in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize a certain structure member, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a TIOCGICOUNT ioctl call. CVE-2010-4076: The rs_ioctl function in drivers/char/amiserial.c in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize a certain structure member, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a TIOCGICOUNT ioctl call. CVE-2010-4077: The ntty_ioctl_tiocgicount function in drivers/char/nozomi.c in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize a certain structure member, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a TIOCGICOUNT ioctl call. CVE-2010-4248: Race condition in the __exit_signal function in kernel/exit.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service via vectors related to multithreaded exec, the use of a thread group leader in kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c, and the selection of a new thread group leader in the de_thread function in fs/exec.c. CVE-2010-4243: fs/exec.c in the Linux kernel did not enable the OOM Killer to assess use of stack memory by arrays representing the (1) arguments and (2) environment, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted exec system call, aka an

  • NASL familySuSE Local Security Checks
    NASL idSUSE_11_KERNEL-110228.NASL
    descriptionThe SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 1 kernel was updated to 2.6.32.29 and fixes various bugs and security issues. - The ax25_getname function in net/ax25/af_ax25.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain structure, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory by reading a copy of this structure. (CVE-2010-3875) - net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize certain structure members, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory by leveraging the CAP_NET_RAW capability to read copies of the applicable structures. (CVE-2010-3876) - The get_name function in net/tipc/socket.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain structure, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory by reading a copy of this structure. (CVE-2010-3877) - The sctp_auth_asoc_get_hmac function in net/sctp/auth.c in the Linux kernel did not properly validate the hmac_ids array of an SCTP peer, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and panic) via a crafted value in the last element of this array. (CVE-2010-3705) - A stack memory information leak in the xfs FSGEOMETRY_V1 ioctl was fixed. (CVE-2011-0711) - 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) - The task_show_regs function in arch/s390/kernel/traps.c in the Linux kernel on the s390 platform allowed local users to obtain the values of the registers of an arbitrary process by reading a status file under /proc/. (CVE-2011-0710) - The xfs implementation in the Linux kernel did not look up inode allocation btrees before reading inode buffers, which allowed remote authenticated users to read unlinked files, or read or overwrite disk blocks that are currently assigned to an active file but were previously assigned to an unlinked file, by accessing a stale NFS filehandle. (CVE-2010-2943) - The uart_get_count function in drivers/serial/serial_core.c in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize a certain structure member, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a TIOCGICOUNT ioctl call. (CVE-2010-4075) - The rs_ioctl function in drivers/char/amiserial.c in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize a certain structure member, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a TIOCGICOUNT ioctl call. (CVE-2010-4076) - The ntty_ioctl_tiocgicount function in drivers/char/nozomi.c in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize a certain structure member, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a TIOCGICOUNT ioctl call. (CVE-2010-4077) - fs/exec.c in the Linux kernel did not enable the OOM Killer to assess use of stack memory by arrays representing the (1) arguments and (2) environment, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted exec system call, aka an OOM dodging issue, a related issue to CVE-2010-3858. (CVE-2010-4243) - The blk_rq_map_user_iov function in block/blk-map.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via a zero-length I/O request in a device ioctl to a SCSI device, related to an unaligned map. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2010-4163. (CVE-2010-4668) - Integer underflow in the irda_getsockopt function in net/irda/af_irda.c in the Linux kernel on platforms other than x86 allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel heap memory via an IRLMP_ENUMDEVICES getsockopt call. (CVE-2010-4529) - The aun_incoming function in net/econet/af_econet.c in the Linux kernel, when Econet is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) by sending an Acorn Universal Networking (AUN) packet over UDP. (CVE-2010-4342) - The backend driver in Xen 3.x allowed guest OS users to cause a denial of service via a kernel thread leak, which prevented the device and guest OS from being shut down or create a zombie domain, causing a hang in zenwatch, or preventing unspecified xm commands from working properly, related to (1) netback, (2) blkback, or (3) blktap. (CVE-2010-3699) - The install_special_mapping function in mm/mmap.c in the Linux kernel did not make an expected security_file_mmap function call, which allows local users to bypass intended mmap_min_addr restrictions and possibly conduct NULL pointer dereference attacks via a crafted assembly-language application. (CVE-2010-4346) - Fixed a verify_ioctl overflow in

    NASL idSUSE_11_3_KERNEL-110414.NASL
    descriptionThe openSUSE 11.3 kernel was updated to 2.6.34.8 to fix various bugs and security issues. Following security issues have been fixed: CVE-2011-1493: In the rose networking stack, 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. Check against ROSE_MAX_DIGIS to prevent overflows, and abort facilities parsing on failure. CVE-2011-1182: 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-2011-1082: 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-2011-1478: 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-2011-1163: 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-2011-1012: The code for evaluating LDM partitions (in fs/partitions/ldm.c) contained a bug that could crash the kernel for certain corrupted LDM partitions. CVE-2011-1010: 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-2011-1476: 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-2011-1477: 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-2011-0191: A information leak in the XFS geometry calls could be used by local attackers to gain access to kernel information. CVE-2011-1090: A page allocator issue in NFS v4 ACL handling that could lead to a denial of service (crash) was fixed. CVE-2010-3880: net/ipv4/inet_diag.c in the Linux kernel did not properly audit INET_DIAG bytecode, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (kernel infinite loop) via crafted INET_DIAG_REQ_BYTECODE instructions in a netlink message that contains multiple attribute elements, as demonstrated by INET_DIAG_BC_JMP instructions. CVE-2010-4656: Fixed a buffer size issue in
