Summary

The dvb_ca_ioctl function in drivers/media/dvb/ttpci/av7110_ca.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.38-rc2 does not check the sign of a certain integer field, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a negative value.

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.
  • Overflow Buffers
    Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
  • Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow
    This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
  • Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow
    In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
  • MIME Conversion
    An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

"Updated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues and several
bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

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."

to a denial of service. (CVE-2011-1093)

Peter Huewe discovered that the TPM device did not correctly
initialize memory. A local attacker could exploit this to read kernel
heap memory contents, leading to a loss of privacy. (CVE-2011-1160)

Vasiliy Kulikov discovered that the netfilter code did not check
certain strings copied from userspace. A local attacker with netfilter
access could exploit this to read kernel memory or crash the system,
leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2011-1170, CVE-2011-1171,
CVE-2011-1172, CVE-2011-2534)

Vasiliy Kulikov discovered that the Acorn Universal Networking driver
did not correctly initialize memory. A remote attacker could send
specially crafted traffic to read kernel stack memory, leading to a
loss of privacy. (CVE-2011-1173)

Dan Rosenberg discovered that the IRDA subsystem did not correctly
check certain field sizes. If a system was using IRDA, a remote
attacker could send specially crafted traffic to crash the system or
gain root privileges. (CVE-2011-1180)

Julien Tinnes discovered that the kernel did not correctly validate
the signal structure from tkill(). A local attacker could exploit this
to send signals to arbitrary threads, possibly bypassing expected
restrictions. (CVE-2011-1182)

Dan Rosenberg reported errors in the OSS (Open Sound System) MIDI
interface. A local attacker on non-x86 systems might be able to cause
a denial of service. (CVE-2011-1476)

Dan Rosenberg reported errors in the kernel's OSS (Open Sound System)
driver for Yamaha FM synthesizer chips. A local user can exploit this
to cause memory corruption, causing a denial of service or privilege
escalation. (CVE-2011-1477)

Ryan Sweat discovered that the GRO code did not correctly validate
memory. In some configurations on systems using VLANs, a remote
attacker could send specially crafted traffic to crash the system,
leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2011-1478)

It was discovered that the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP)
implementation incorrectly calculated lengths. If the
net.sctp.addip_enable variable was turned on, a remote attacker could
send specially crafted traffic to crash the system. (CVE-2011-1573)

A flaw was found in the b43 driver in the Linux kernel. An attacker
could use this flaw to cause a denial of service if the system has an
active wireless interface using the b43 driver. (CVE-2011-3359)

Maynard Johnson discovered that on POWER7, certain speculative events
may raise a performance monitor exception. A local attacker could
exploit this to crash the system, leading to a denial of service.
(CVE-2011-4611)

Dan Rosenberg discovered flaws in the linux Rose (X.25 PLP) layer used
by amateur radio. A local user or a remote user on an X.25 network
could exploit these flaws to execute arbitrary code as root.
(CVE-2011-4913).

"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)

This update also fixes several bugs.

The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect."

"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.

    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. (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) - A page allocator issue in NFS v4 ACL handling that could lead to a denial of service (crash) was fixed. (CVE-2011-1090) - 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.
