Summary

The Linux kernel before 3.4.5 on the x86 platform, when Physical Address Extension (PAE) is enabled, does not properly use the Page Middle Directory (PMD), which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via a crafted application that triggers a race condition.

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Leveraging Race Conditions
    This attack targets a race condition occurring when multiple processes access and manipulate the same resource concurrently and the outcome of the execution depends on the particular order in which the access takes place. The attacker can leverage a race condition by "running the race", modifying the resource and modifying the normal execution flow. For instance a race condition can occur while accessing a file, the attacker can trick the system by replacing the original file with his version and cause the system to read the malicious file.
  • Leveraging Time-of-Check and Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) Race Conditions
    This attack targets a race condition occurring between the time of check (state) for a resource and the time of use of a resource. The typical example is the file access. The attacker can leverage a file access race condition by "running the race", meaning that he would modify the resource between the first time the target program accesses the file and the time the target program uses the file. During that period of time, the attacker could do something such as replace the file and cause an escalation of privilege.

    * CVE-2012-2123: Privilege escalation when assigning permissions using 
    fcaps.
    
    If a process increases permissions using fcaps, all of the dangerous
    personality flags which are cleared for suid apps are not cleared. This has
    allowed programs that gained elevated permissions using fcaps to disable
    the address space randomization of other processes.
    
    
    * CVE-2012-2121: Memory leak in KVM device assignment.
    
    KVM uses memory slots to track and map guest regions of memory.  When device
    assignment is used, the pages backing these slots are pinned in memory 
    and mapped
    into the iommu.  The problem is that when a memory slot is destroyed the 
    pages
    for the associated memory slot are neither unpinned nor unmapped from 
    the iommu.
    
    
    * Memory corruption in KVM device assignment slot handling.
    
    A race condition in the KVM device assignment slot handling caused by
    missing locks around the unmapping of memory slots could cause a memory
    corruption.
    
    
    * CVE-2012-2136: Privilege escalation in TUN/TAP virtual device.
    
    The length of packet fragments to be sent wasn't validated before use,
    leading to heap overflow. A user having access to TUN/TAP virtual
    device could use this flaw to crash the system or to potentially
    escalate their privileges.
    
    
    * CVE-2012-2137: Buffer overflow in KVM MSI routing entry handler.
    
    A buffer overflow flaw was found in the setup_routing_entry() function 
    in the
    KVM subsystem of the Linux kernel in the way the Message Signaled Interrupts
    (MSI) routing entry was handled. A local, unprivileged user could use 
    this flaw
    to cause a denial of service or, possibly, escalate their privileges.
    
    
    * CVE-2012-1179 and CVE-2012-2373: Hugepage denial of service.
    
    CVE-2012-1179: Denial of service in page mapping of the hugepage subsystem.
    
    In some cases, the hugepage subsystem would allocate new PMDs when not
    expected by the memory management subsystem. A privileged user in the
    KVM guest can use this flaw to crash the host, an unprivileged local
    user could use this flaw to crash the system.
    
    CVE-2012-2373: Denial of service in PAE page tables.
    
    On a PAE system, a non-atomic load could be corrupted by a page fault
    resulting in a kernel crash, triggerable by an unprivileged user.
    
    
    * Regression in handling of bind() with AF_UNSPEC family sockets.
    
    Legacy applications used to bind() with AF_UNSPEC instead of AF_INET. Allow
    them to continue doing so, but verify that the address is indeed INADDR_ANY.

    descriptionThe SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2 kernel was updated to 3.0.34, fixing a lot of bugs and security issues. The update from Linux kernel 3.0.31 to 3.0.34 also fixes various bugs not listed here. The following security issues have been fixed : - Local attackers could trigger an overflow in sock_alloc_send_pksb(), potentially crashing the machine or escalate privileges. (CVE-2012-2136) - A memory leak in transparent hugepages on mmap failure could be used by local attacker to run the machine out of memory (local denial of service). (CVE-2012-2390) - A malicious guest driver could overflow the host stack by passing a long descriptor, so potentially crashing the host system or escalating privileges on the host. (CVE-2012-2119) - Malicious NFS server could crash the clients when more than 2 GETATTR bitmap words are returned in response to the FATTR4_ACL attribute requests, only incompletely fixed by CVE-2011-4131.

    descriptionFrom Red Hat Security Advisory 2012:0743 : 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 local, unprivileged user could use an integer overflow flaw in drm_mode_dirtyfb_ioctl() to cause a denial of service or escalate their privileges. (CVE-2012-0044, Important) * A buffer overflow flaw was found in the macvtap device driver, used for creating a bridged network between the guest and the host in KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) environments. A privileged guest user in a KVM guest could use this flaw to crash the host. Note: This issue only affected hosts that have the vhost_net module loaded with the experimental_zcopytx module option enabled (it is not enabled by default), and that also have macvtap configured for at least one guest. (CVE-2012-2119, Important) * When a set user ID (setuid) application is executed, certain personality flags for controlling the application

    descriptionDescription of changes: * CVE-2012-2123: Privilege escalation when assigning permissions using fcaps. If a process increases permissions using fcaps, all of the dangerous personality flags which are cleared for suid apps are not cleared. This has allowed programs that gained elevated permissions using fcaps to disable the address space randomization of other processes. * CVE-2012-2121: Memory leak in KVM device assignment. KVM uses memory slots to track and map guest regions of memory. When device assignment is used, the pages backing these slots are pinned in memory and mapped into the iommu. The problem is that when a memory slot is destroyed the pages for the associated memory slot are neither unpinned nor unmapped from the iommu. * Memory corruption in KVM device assignment slot handling. A race condition in the KVM device assignment slot handling caused by missing locks around the unmapping of memory slots could cause a memory corruption. * CVE-2012-2136: Privilege escalation in TUN/TAP virtual device.

The update from Linux kernel 3.0.31 to 3.0.34 also fixes various bugs not listed here. The following security issues have been fixed : - Local attackers could trigger an overflow in sock_alloc_send_pksb(), potentially crashing the machine or escalate privileges. (CVE-2012-2136) - A memory leak in transparent hugepages on mmap failure could be used by local attacker to run the machine out of memory (local denial of service). (CVE-2012-2390) - A malicious guest driver could overflow the host stack by passing a long descriptor, so potentially crashing the host system or escalating privileges on the host. (CVE-2012-2119) - Malicious NFS server could crash the clients when more than 2 GETATTR bitmap words are returned in response to the FATTR4_ACL attribute requests, only incompletely fixed by CVE-2011-4131.
