Vulnerabilities > CVE-2016-10208 - Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Attack vector
PHYSICAL Attack complexity
LOW Privileges required
LOW Confidentiality impact
NONE Integrity impact
NONE Availability impact
HIGH Summary
The ext4_fill_super function in fs/ext4/super.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.8 does not properly validate meta block groups, which allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) via a crafted ext4 image.
Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Overread Buffers An adversary attacks a target by providing input that causes an application to read beyond the boundary of a defined buffer. This typically occurs when a value influencing where to start or stop reading is set to reflect positions outside of the valid memory location of the buffer. This type of attack may result in exposure of sensitive information, a system crash, or arbitrary code execution.

CVE-2016-10208 Sergej Schumilo and Ralf Spenneberg discovered that a crafted ext4 filesystem could trigger memory corruption when it is mounted. A user that can provide a device or filesystem image to be mounted could use this for denial of service (crash or data corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation. CVE-2017-8824 Mohamed Ghannam discovered that the DCCP implementation did not correctly manage resources when a socket is disconnected and reconnected, potentially leading to a use-after-free. A local user could use this for denial of service (crash or data corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation. On systems that do not already have the dccp module loaded, this can be mitigated by disabling it: echo >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-dccp.conf install dccp false CVE-2017-8831 Pengfei Wang discovered that the saa7164 video capture driver re-reads data from a PCI device after validating it. A physically present user able to attach a specially designed PCI device could use this for privilege escalation. CVE-2017-12190 Vitaly Mayatskikh discovered that the block layer did not correctly count page references for raw I/O from user-space. This can be exploited by a guest VM with access to a host SCSI device for denial of service (memory exhaustion) or potentially for privilege escalation. CVE-2017-13080 A vulnerability was found in the WPA2 protocol that could lead to reinstallation of the same Group Temporal Key (GTK), which substantially reduces the security of wifi encryption.
