Summary

The inet_diag_bc_audit function in net/ipv4/inet_diag.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39.3 does not properly audit INET_DIAG bytecode, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel infinite loop) via crafted INET_DIAG_REQ_BYTECODE instructions in a netlink message, as demonstrated by an INET_DIAG_BC_JMP instruction with a zero yes value, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-3880.

    NASL idREDHAT-RHSA-2011-1090.NASL
    descriptionAn updated rhev-hypervisor package that fixes one security issue and several bugs is now available. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section. The rhev-hypervisor package provides a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor ISO disk image. The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor is a dedicated Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor. It includes everything necessary to run and manage virtual machines: A subset of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating environment and the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Agent. Note: Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor is only available for the Intel 64 and AMD64 architectures with virtualization extensions. A flaw was found that allowed napi_reuse_skb() to be called on VLAN (virtual LAN) packets. An attacker on the local network could trigger this flaw by sending specially crafted packets to a target system, possibly causing a denial of service. (CVE-2011-1576) Red Hat would like to thank Ryan Sweat for reporting CVE-2011-1576. This updated package provides updated components that include fixes for security issues; however, these issues have no security impact for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor. These fixes are for bash issue CVE-2008-5374; curl issue CVE-2011-2192; kernel issues CVE-2010-4649, CVE-2011-0695, CVE-2011-0711, CVE-2011-1044, CVE-2011-1182, CVE-2011-1573, CVE-2011-1593, CVE-2011-1745, CVE-2011-1746, CVE-2011-1776, CVE-2011-1780, CVE-2011-1936, CVE-2011-2022, CVE-2011-2213, CVE-2011-2492, CVE-2011-2525, and CVE-2011-2689; libvirt issue CVE-2011-2511; and rsync issue CVE-2007-6200. 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. As Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor is based on KVM, the bug fixes from the KVM update RHBA-2011:1068 have been included in this update : https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2011-1068.html Users of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue and fixes the bugs noted in the Technical Notes.

    descriptionDan Rosenberg discovered that the IPv4 diagnostic routines did not correctly validate certain requests. A local attacker could exploit this to consume CPU resources, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2011-2213) Dan Rosenberg discovered that the Bluetooth stack incorrectly handled certain L2CAP requests. If a system was using Bluetooth, a remote attacker could send specially crafted traffic to crash the system or gain root privileges. (CVE-2011-2497) It was discovered that the EXT4 filesystem contained multiple off-by-one flaws. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2011-2695) Mauro Carvalho Chehab discovered that the si4713 radio driver did not correctly check the length of memory copies. If this hardware was available, a local attacker could exploit this to crash the system or gain root privileges. (CVE-2011-2700) Herbert Xu discovered that certain fields were incorrectly handled when Generic Receive Offload (CVE-2011-2723) Time Warns discovered that long symlinks were incorrectly handled on Be filesystems. A local attacker could exploit this with a malformed Be filesystem and crash the system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2011-2928) Dan Kaminsky discovered that the kernel incorrectly handled random sequence number generation. An attacker could use this flaw to possibly predict sequence numbers and inject packets. (CVE-2011-3188) Darren Lavender discovered that the CIFS client incorrectly handled certain large values. A remote attacker with a malicious server could exploit this to crash the system or possibly execute arbitrary code as the root user. (CVE-2011-3191).

Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

    descriptionSecurity issues : - Using PCI passthrough without interrupt remapping support allowed KVM guests to generate MSI interrupts and thus potentially inject traps. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to crash the host or possibly escalate their privileges on the host. The fix for this issue can prevent PCI passthrough working and guests starting. (CVE-2011-1898, Important) - Flaw in the client-side NLM implementation could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2011-2491, Important) - Integer underflow in the Bluetooth implementation could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service or escalate their privileges by sending a specially crafted request to a target system via Bluetooth. (CVE-2011-2497, Important) - Buffer overflows in the netlink-based wireless configuration interface implementation could allow a local user, who has the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability, to cause a denial of service or escalate their privileges on systems that have an active wireless interface. (CVE-2011-2517, Important) - Flaw in the way the maximum file offset was handled for ext4 file systems could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2011-2695, Important) - Flaw allowed napi_reuse_skb() to be called on VLAN packets. An attacker on the local network could use this flaw to send crafted packets to a target, possibly causing a denial of service. (CVE-2011-1576, Moderate) - Integer signedness error in next_pidmap() could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2011-1593, Moderate) - Race condition in the memory merging support (KSM) could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service. KSM is off by default, but on systems running VDSM, or on KVM hosts, it is likely turned on by the ksm/ksmtuned services. (CVE-2011-2183, Moderate) - Flaw in inet_diag_bc_audit() could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2011-2213, Moderate) - Flaw in the way space was allocated in the Global File System 2 (GFS2) implementation. If the file system was almost full, and a local, unprivileged user made an fallocate() request, it could result in a denial of service. Setting quotas to prevent users from using all available disk space would prevent exploitation of this flaw. (CVE-2011-2689, Moderate) - Local, unprivileged users could send signals via the sigqueueinfo system call, with si_code set to SI_TKILL and with spoofed process and user IDs, to other processes. This flaw does not allow existing permission checks to be bypassed; signals can only be sent if your privileges allow you to already do so. (CVE-2011-1182, Low) - Heap overflow in the EFI GUID Partition Table (GPT) implementation could allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service by mounting a disk containing crafted partition tables. (CVE-2011-1776, Low) - Structure padding in two structures in the Bluetooth implementation was not initialized properly before being copied to user-space, possibly allowing local, unprivileged users to leak kernel stack memory to user-space. (CVE-2011-2492, Low) - /proc/[PID]/io is world-readable by default. Previously, these files could be read without any further restrictions. A local, unprivileged user could read these files, belonging to other, possibly privileged processes to gather confidential information, such as the length of a password used in a process.

    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.

  • NASL familyRed Hat Local Security Checks
    NASL idREDHAT-RHSA-2011-1189.NASL
    descriptionUpdated kernel packages that fix several security issues, various bugs, and add two enhancements 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. Security issues : * Using PCI passthrough without interrupt remapping support allowed KVM guests to generate MSI interrupts and thus potentially inject traps. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to crash the host or possibly escalate their privileges on the host. The fix for this issue can prevent PCI passthrough working and guests starting. Refer to Red Hat Bugzilla bug 715555 for details. (CVE-2011-1898, Important) * Flaw in the client-side NLM implementation could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2011-2491, Important) * Integer underflow in the Bluetooth implementation could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service or escalate their privileges by sending a specially crafted request to a target system via Bluetooth. (CVE-2011-2497, Important) * Buffer overflows in the netlink-based wireless configuration interface implementation could allow a local user, who has the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability, to cause a denial of service or escalate their privileges on systems that have an active wireless interface. (CVE-2011-2517, Important) * Flaw in the way the maximum file offset was handled for ext4 file systems could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2011-2695, Important) * Flaw allowed napi_reuse_skb() to be called on VLAN packets. An attacker on the local network could use this flaw to send crafted packets to a target, possibly causing a denial of service. (CVE-2011-1576, Moderate) * Integer signedness error in next_pidmap() could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2011-1593, Moderate) * Race condition in the memory merging support (KSM) could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service. KSM is off by default, but on systems running VDSM, or on KVM hosts, it is likely turned on by the ksm/ksmtuned services. (CVE-2011-2183, Moderate) * Flaw in inet_diag_bc_audit() could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2011-2213, Moderate) * Flaw in the way space was allocated in the Global File System 2 (GFS2) implementation. If the file system was almost full, and a local, unprivileged user made an fallocate() request, it could result in a denial of service. Setting quotas to prevent users from using all available disk space would prevent exploitation of this flaw. (CVE-2011-2689, Moderate) * Local, unprivileged users could send signals via the sigqueueinfo system call, with si_code set to SI_TKILL and with spoofed process and user IDs, to other processes. This flaw does not allow existing permission checks to be bypassed; signals can only be sent if your privileges allow you to already do so. (CVE-2011-1182, Low) * Heap overflow in the EFI GUID Partition Table (GPT) implementation could allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service by mounting a disk containing crafted partition tables. (CVE-2011-1776, Low) * Structure padding in two structures in the Bluetooth implementation was not initialized properly before being copied to user-space, possibly allowing local, unprivileged users to leak kernel stack memory to user-space. (CVE-2011-2492, Low) * /proc/[PID]/io is world-readable by default. Previously, these files could be read without any further restrictions. A local, unprivileged user could read these files, belonging to other, possibly privileged processes to gather confidential information, such as the length of a password used in a process. (CVE-2011-2495, Low) Red Hat would like to thank Vasily Averin for reporting CVE-2011-2491; Dan Rosenberg for reporting CVE-2011-2497 and CVE-2011-2213; Ryan Sweat for reporting CVE-2011-1576; Robert Swiecki for reporting CVE-2011-1593; Andrea Righi for reporting CVE-2011-2183; Julien Tinnes of the Google Security Team for reporting CVE-2011-1182; Timo Warns for reporting CVE-2011-1776; Marek Kroemeke and Filip Palian for reporting CVE-2011-2492; and Vasiliy Kulikov of Openwall for reporting CVE-2011-2495.

KSM is off by default, but on systems running VDSM, or on KVM hosts, it is likely turned on by the ksm/ksmtuned services. (CVE-2011-2183, Moderate) * Flaw in inet_diag_bc_audit() could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2011-2213, Moderate) * Flaw in the way space was allocated in the Global File System 2 (GFS2) implementation. If the file system was almost full, and a local, unprivileged user made an fallocate() request, it could result in a denial of service. Setting quotas to prevent users from using all available disk space would prevent exploitation of this flaw. (CVE-2011-2689, Moderate) * Local, unprivileged users could send signals via the sigqueueinfo system call, with si_code set to SI_TKILL and with spoofed process and user IDs, to other processes. This flaw does not allow existing permission checks to be bypassed; signals can only be sent if your privileges allow you to already do so. (CVE-2011-1182, Low) * Heap overflow in the EFI GUID Partition Table (GPT) implementation could allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service by mounting a disk containing crafted partition tables. (CVE-2011-1776, Low) * Structure padding in two structures in the Bluetooth implementation was not initialized properly before being copied to user-space, possibly allowing local, unprivileged users to leak kernel stack memory to user-space. (CVE-2011-2492, Low) * /proc/[PID]/io is world-readable by default. Previously, these files could be read without any further restrictions. A local, unprivileged user could read these files, belonging to other, possibly privileged processes to gather confidential information, such as the length of a password used in a process. (CVE-2011-2495, Low) Red Hat would like to thank Vasily Averin for reporting CVE-2011-2491; Dan Rosenberg for reporting CVE-2011-2497 and CVE-2011-2213; Ryan Sweat for reporting CVE-2011-1576; Robert Swiecki for reporting CVE-2011-1593; Andrea Righi for reporting CVE-2011-2183; Julien Tinnes of the Google Security Team for reporting CVE-2011-1182; Timo Warns for reporting CVE-2011-1776; Marek Kroemeke and Filip Palian for reporting CVE-2011-2492; and Vasiliy Kulikov of Openwall for reporting CVE-2011-2495.

    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
