Summary

The ldm_frag_add function in fs/partitions/ldm.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39.1 does not properly handle memory allocation for non-initial fragments, which might allow local users to conduct buffer overflow attacks, and gain privileges or obtain sensitive information, via a crafted LDM partition table. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2011-1017.

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.

  • NASL familySuSE Local Security Checks
    NASL idSUSE_KERNEL-7666.NASL
    descriptionThis kernel update for the SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP4 kernel fixes several security issues and bugs. The following security issues were fixed : - The dccp_rcv_state_process function in net/dccp/input.c in the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle packets for a CLOSED endpoint, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) by sending a DCCP-Close packet followed by a DCCP-Reset packet. (CVE-2011-1093) - The add_del_listener function in kernel/taskstats.c in the Linux kernel did not prevent multiple registrations of exit handlers, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption), and bypass the OOM Killer, via a crafted application. (CVE-2011-2484) - Integer overflow in the agp_generic_insert_memory function in drivers/char/agp/generic.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted AGPIOC_BIND agp_ioctl ioctl call. (CVE-2011-1745) - Multiple integer overflows in the (1) agp_allocate_memory and (2) agp_create_user_memory functions in drivers/char/agp/generic.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to trigger buffer overflows, and consequently cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact, via vectors related to calls that specify a large number of memory pages. (CVE-2011-1746) - The agp_generic_remove_memory function in drivers/char/agp/generic.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.38.5 did not validate a certain start parameter, which allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted AGPIOC_UNBIND agp_ioctl ioctl call, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-1745. (CVE-2011-2022) - When using a setuid root mount.cifs, local users could hijack password protected mounted CIFS shares of other local users.

    "This kernel update for the SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP4 kernel fixes
    several security issues and bugs.
    
    The following security issues were fixed :
    
      - The dccp_rcv_state_process function in net/dccp/input.c
        in the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP)
        implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly
        handle packets for a CLOSED endpoint, which allowed
        remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL
        pointer dereference and OOPS) by sending a DCCP-Close
        packet followed by a DCCP-Reset packet. (CVE-2011-1093)
    
      - The add_del_listener function in kernel/taskstats.c in
        the Linux kernel did not prevent multiple registrations
        of exit handlers, which allowed local users to cause a
        denial of service (memory and CPU consumption), and
        bypass the OOM Killer, via a crafted application.
        (CVE-2011-2484)
    
      - Integer overflow in the agp_generic_insert_memory
        function in drivers/char/agp/generic.c in the Linux
        kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a
        denial of service (system crash) via a crafted
        AGPIOC_BIND agp_ioctl ioctl call. (CVE-2011-1745)
    
      - Multiple integer overflows in the (1)
        agp_allocate_memory and (2) agp_create_user_memory
        functions in drivers/char/agp/generic.c in the Linux
        kernel allowed local users to trigger buffer overflows,
        and consequently cause a denial of service (system
        crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact, via
        vectors related to calls that specify a large number of
        memory pages. (CVE-2011-1746)
    
      - The agp_generic_remove_memory function in
        drivers/char/agp/generic.c in the Linux kernel before
        2.6.38.5 did not validate a certain start parameter,
        which allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a
        denial of service (system crash) via a crafted
        AGPIOC_UNBIND agp_ioctl ioctl call, a different
        vulnerability than CVE-2011-1745. (CVE-2011-2022)
    
      - When using a setuid root mount.cifs, local users could
        hijack password protected mounted CIFS shares of other
        local users. (CVE-2011-1585)
    
      - The do_task_stat function in fs/proc/array.c in the
        Linux kernel did not perform an expected uid check,
        which made it easier for local users to defeat the ASLR
        protection mechanism by reading the start_code and
        end_code fields in the /proc/#####/stat file for a
        process executing a PIE binary. (CVE-2011-0726)
    
      - The normal mmap paths all avoid creating a mapping where
        the pgoff inside the mapping could wrap around due to
        overflow. However, an expanding mremap() can take such a
        non-wrapping mapping and make it bigger and cause a
        wrapping condition. (CVE-2011-2496)
    
      - A local unprivileged user able to access a NFS
        filesystem could use file locking to deadlock parts of
        an nfs server under some circumstance. (CVE-2011-2491)
    
      - 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-2011-2182)
    
      - 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)
    
      - Integer overflow in the _ctl_do_mpt_command function in
        drivers/scsi/mpt2sas/mpt2sas_ctl.c in the Linux kernel
        might have allowed local users to gain privileges or
        cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via an
        ioctl call specifying a crafted value that triggers a
        heap-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2011-1494)
    
      - drivers/scsi/mpt2sas/mpt2sas_ctl.c in the Linux kernel
        did not validate (1) length and (2) offset values before
        performing memory copy operations, which might have
        allowed local users to gain privileges, cause a denial
        of service (memory corruption), or obtain sensitive
        information from kernel memory via a crafted ioctl call,
        related to the _ctl_do_mpt_command and
        _ctl_diag_read_buffer functions. (CVE-2011-1495)"

    descriptionDan Rosenberg discovered that multiple terminal ioctls did not correctly initialize structure memory. A local attacker could exploit this to read portions of kernel stack memory, leading to a loss of privacy. (CVE-2010-4076, CVE-2010-4077) Alex Shi and Eric Dumazet discovered that the network stack did not correctly handle packet backlogs. A remote attacker could exploit this by sending a large amount of network traffic to cause the system to run out of memory, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4251, CVE-2010-4805) It was discovered that the /proc filesystem did not correctly handle permission changes when programs executed. A local attacker could hold open files to examine details about programs running with higher privileges, potentially increasing the chances of exploiting additional vulnerabilities. (CVE-2011-1020) Dan Rosenberg discovered that the X.25 Rose network stack did not correctly handle certain fields. If a system was running with Rose enabled, a remote attacker could send specially crafted traffic to gain root privileges. (CVE-2011-1493) Timo Warns discovered that the GUID partition parsing routines did not correctly validate certain structures. A local attacker with physical access could plug in a specially crafted block device to crash the system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2011-1577) It was discovered that CIFS incorrectly handled authentication. When a user had a CIFS share mounted that required authentication, a local user could mount the same share without knowing the correct password. (CVE-2011-1585) It was discovered that the GRE protocol incorrectly handled netns initialization. A remote attacker could send a packet while the ip_gre module was loading, and crash the system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2011-1767) It was discovered that the IP/IP protocol incorrectly handled netns initialization. A remote attacker could send a packet while the ipip module was loading, and crash the system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2011-1768) Ben Hutchings reported a flaw in the kernel

    descriptionThe SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 1 kernel was updated to 2.6.32.43 and fixes various bugs and security issues. The following security issues were fixed : - The normal mmap paths all avoid creating a mapping where the pgoff inside the mapping could wrap around due to overflow. However, an expanding mremap() can take such a non-wrapping mapping and make it bigger and cause a wrapping condition. (CVE-2011-2496) - A local unprivileged user able to access a NFS filesystem could use file locking to deadlock parts of an nfs server under some circumstance. (CVE-2011-2491) - Fixed a race between ksmd and other memory management code, which could result in a NULL ptr dereference and kernel crash. (CVE-2011-2183) - In both trigger_scan and sched_scan operations, we were checking for the SSID length before assigning the value correctly. Since the memory was just kzalloced, the check was always failing and SSID with over 32 characters were allowed to go through. This required CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges to be exploited. (CVE-2011-2517) - A malicious user or buggy application could inject diagnosing byte code and trigger an infinite loop in inet_diag_bc_audit(). (CVE-2011-2213) - 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 / CVE-2011-2182) - 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) - The proc filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel did not restrict access to the /proc directory tree of a process after this process performs an exec of a setuid program, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service via open, lseek, read, and write system calls. (CVE-2011-1020) - 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 a bluetooth ioctl, struct sco_conninfo has one padding byte in the end. Local variable cinfo of type sco_conninfo was copied to userspace with this uninizialized one byte, leading to an old stack contents leak. (CVE-2011-1078) - In a bluetooth ioctl, struct ca is copied from userspace. It was not checked whether the

    descriptionThe openSUSE 11.4 kernel was updated to 2.6.37.6 fixing lots of bugs and security issues. Following security issues have been fixed: CVE-2011-2495: The /proc/PID/io interface could be used by local attackers to gain information on other processes like number of password characters typed or similar. CVE-2011-2484: The add_del_listener function in kernel/taskstats.c in the Linux kernel did not prevent multiple registrations of exit handlers, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption), and bypass the OOM Killer, via a crafted application. CVE-2011-2022: The agp_generic_remove_memory function in drivers/char/agp/generic.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.38.5 did not validate a certain start parameter, which allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted AGPIOC_UNBIND agp_ioctl ioctl call, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-1745. CVE-2011-1745: Integer overflow in the agp_generic_insert_memory function in drivers/char/agp/generic.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted AGPIOC_BIND agp_ioctl ioctl call. CVE-2011-2493: A denial of service on mounting invalid ext4 filesystems was fixed. CVE-2011-2491: A local unprivileged user able to access a NFS filesystem could use file locking to deadlock parts of an nfs server under some circumstance. CVE-2011-2498: Also account PTE pages when calculating OOM scoring, which could have lead to a denial of service. CVE-2011-2496: The normal mmap paths all avoid creating a mapping where the pgoff inside the mapping could wrap around due to overflow. However, an expanding mremap() can take such a non-wrapping mapping and make it bigger and cause a wrapping condition. CVE-2011-1017,CVE-2011-2182: The code for evaluating LDM partitions (in fs/partitions/ldm.c) contained bugs that could crash the kernel for certain corrupted LDM partitions. CVE-2011-1479: A regression in inotify fix for a memory leak could lead to a double free corruption which could crash the system. CVE-2011-1927: A missing route validation issue in ip_expire() could be used by remote attackers to trigger a NULL ptr dereference, crashing parts of the kernel. CVE-2011-1593: 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-2011-1020: The proc filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel did not restrict access to the /proc directory tree of a process after this process performs an exec of a setuid program, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service via open, lseek, read, and write system calls.

    descriptionThis kernel update for the SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP3 kernel fixes several security issues and bugs. The following security issues have been fixed : - A signedness issue in CIFS could possibly have lead to to memory corruption, if a malicious server could send crafted replies to the host. (CVE-2011-3191) - Timo Warns reported an issue in the Linux implementation for GUID partitions. Users with physical access could gain access to sensitive kernel memory by adding a storage device with a specially crafted corrupted invalid partition table. (CVE-2011-1776) - The dccp_rcv_state_process function in net/dccp/input.c in the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle packets for a CLOSED endpoint, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) by sending a DCCP-Close packet followed by a DCCP-Reset packet.

    NASL idSUSE_11_3_KERNEL-110726.NASL
    descriptionThe openSUSE 11.3 kernel was updated to 2.6.34.10 to fix various bugs and security issues. Following security issues have been fixed: CVE-2011-2495: The /proc/PID/io interface could be used by local attackers to gain information on other processes like number of password characters typed or similar. CVE-2011-2484: The add_del_listener function in kernel/taskstats.c in the Linux kernel did not prevent multiple registrations of exit handlers, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption), and bypass the OOM Killer, via a crafted application. CVE-2011-2491: A local unprivileged user able to access a NFS filesystem could use file locking to deadlock parts of an nfs server under some circumstance. CVE-2011-2496: The normal mmap paths all avoid creating a mapping where the pgoff inside the mapping could wrap around due to overflow. However, an expanding mremap() can take such a non-wrapping mapping and make it bigger and cause a wrapping condition. CVE-2011-1017,CVE-2011-2182: The code for evaluating LDM partitions (in fs/partitions/ldm.c) contained bugs that could crash the kernel for certain corrupted LDM partitions. CVE-2011-1479: A regression in inotify fix for a memory leak could lead to a double free corruption which could crash the system. CVE-2011-1593: 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-2011-1020: The proc filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel did not restrict access to the /proc directory tree of a process after this process performs an exec of a setuid program, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service via open, lseek, read, and write system calls. CVE-2011-1585: When using a setuid root mount.cifs, local users could hijack password protected mounted CIFS shares of other local users. CVE-2011-1160: Kernel information via the TPM devices could by used by local attackers to read kernel memory. CVE-2011-1577: 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-2011-1180: 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-2011-1016: 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-2011-1013: A signedness issue in the drm ioctl handling could be used by local attackers to potentially overflow kernel buffers and execute code.

    titleOracle Linux 5 / 6 : Unbreakable Enterprise kernel (ELSA-2011-2037)
  • NASL familySuSE Local Security Checks
    NASL idSUSE_KERNEL-7665.NASL
    descriptionThis kernel update for the SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP4 kernel fixes several security issues and bugs. The following security issues were fixed : - The dccp_rcv_state_process function in net/dccp/input.c in the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle packets for a CLOSED endpoint, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) by sending a DCCP-Close packet followed by a DCCP-Reset packet. (CVE-2011-1093) - The add_del_listener function in kernel/taskstats.c in the Linux kernel did not prevent multiple registrations of exit handlers, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption), and bypass the OOM Killer, via a crafted application. (CVE-2011-2484) - Integer overflow in the agp_generic_insert_memory function in drivers/char/agp/generic.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted AGPIOC_BIND agp_ioctl ioctl call. (CVE-2011-1745) - Multiple integer overflows in the (1) agp_allocate_memory and (2) agp_create_user_memory functions in drivers/char/agp/generic.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to trigger buffer overflows, and consequently cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact, via vectors related to calls that specify a large number of memory pages. (CVE-2011-1746) - The agp_generic_remove_memory function in drivers/char/agp/generic.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.38.5 did not validate a certain start parameter, which allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted AGPIOC_UNBIND agp_ioctl ioctl call, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-1745. (CVE-2011-2022) - When using a setuid root mount.cifs, local users could hijack password protected mounted CIFS shares of other local users. (CVE-2011-1585) - The do_task_stat function in fs/proc/array.c in the Linux kernel did not perform an expected uid check, which made it easier for local users to defeat the ASLR protection mechanism by reading the start_code and end_code fields in the /proc/#####/stat file for a process executing a PIE binary. (CVE-2011-0726) - The normal mmap paths all avoid creating a mapping where the pgoff inside the mapping could wrap around due to overflow. However, an expanding mremap() can take such a non-wrapping mapping and make it bigger and cause a wrapping condition. (CVE-2011-2496) - A local unprivileged user able to access a NFS filesystem could use file locking to deadlock parts of an nfs server under some circumstance. (CVE-2011-2491) - 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-2011-2182) - 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) - Integer overflow in the _ctl_do_mpt_command function in drivers/scsi/mpt2sas/mpt2sas_ctl.c in the Linux kernel might have allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via an ioctl call specifying a crafted value that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2011-1494) - drivers/scsi/mpt2sas/mpt2sas_ctl.c in the Linux kernel did not validate (1) length and (2) offset values before performing memory copy operations, which might have allowed local users to gain privileges, cause a denial of service (memory corruption), or obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a crafted ioctl call, related to the _ctl_do_mpt_command and _ctl_diag_read_buffer functions. (CVE-2011-1495)

    titleSuSE 10 Security Update : Linux kernel (ZYPP Patch Number 7665)
  • NASL familyUbuntu Local Security Checks
    NASL idUBUNTU_USN-1216-1.NASL
    descriptionDan Rosenberg discovered that multiple terminal ioctls did not correctly initialize structure memory. A local attacker could exploit this to read portions of kernel stack memory, leading to a loss of privacy. (CVE-2010-4076, CVE-2010-4077) Alex Shi and Eric Dumazet discovered that the network stack did not correctly handle packet backlogs. A remote attacker could exploit this by sending a large amount of network traffic to cause the system to run out of memory, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4251, CVE-2010-4805) It was discovered that the /proc filesystem did not correctly handle permission changes when programs executed. A local attacker could hold open files to examine details about programs running with higher privileges, potentially increasing the chances of exploiting additional vulnerabilities. (CVE-2011-1020) Dan Rosenberg discovered that the X.25 Rose network stack did not correctly handle certain fields. If a system was running with Rose enabled, a remote attacker could send specially crafted traffic to gain root privileges. (CVE-2011-1493) Timo Warns discovered that the GUID partition parsing routines did not correctly validate certain structures. A local attacker with physical access could plug in a specially crafted block device to crash the system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2011-1577) It was discovered that CIFS incorrectly handled authentication. When a user had a CIFS share mounted that required authentication, a local user could mount the same share without knowing the correct password. (CVE-2011-1585) It was discovered that the GRE protocol incorrectly handled netns initialization. A remote attacker could send a packet while the ip_gre module was loading, and crash the system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2011-1767) It was discovered that the IP/IP protocol incorrectly handled netns initialization. A remote attacker could send a packet while the ipip module was loading, and crash the system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2011-1768) Ben Hutchings reported a flaw in the kernel
