Vulnerabilities > CVE-2016-6480 - Race Condition vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Attack vector
LOCAL Attack complexity
MEDIUM Privileges required
NONE Confidentiality impact
NONE Integrity impact
NONE Availability impact
COMPLETE Summary
Race condition in the ioctl_send_fib function in drivers/scsi/aacraid/commctrl.c in the Linux kernel through 4.7 allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds access or system crash) by changing a certain size value, aka a "double fetch" vulnerability.
Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
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.

The following security bugs were fixed : - CVE-2016-7042: The proc_keys_show function in security/keys/proc.c in the Linux kernel used an incorrect buffer size for certain timeout data, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (stack memory corruption and panic) by reading the /proc/keys file (bsc#1004517). - CVE-2016-7097: The filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel preserved the setgid bit during a setxattr call, which allowed local users to gain group privileges by leveraging the existence of a setgid program with restrictions on execute permissions (bsc#995968). - CVE-2015-8956: The rfcomm_sock_bind function in net/bluetooth/rfcomm/sock.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via vectors involving a bind system call on a Bluetooth RFCOMM socket (bnc#1003925). - CVE-2016-5696: net/ipv4/tcp_input.c in the Linux kernel did not properly determine the rate of challenge ACK segments, which made it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to hijack TCP sessions via a blind in-window attack (bnc#989152). - CVE-2016-6130: Race condition in the sclp_ctl_ioctl_sccb function in drivers/s390/char/sclp_ctl.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by changing a certain length value, aka a last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 95368 published 2016-11-28 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2016-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/95368 title SUSE SLED12 / SLES12 Security Update : kernel (SUSE-SU-2016:2912-1) NASL family NewStart CGSL Local Security Checks NASL id NEWSTART_CGSL_NS-SA-2019-0152_KERNEL.NASL description The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 4.05, has kernel packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities: - It was found that AIO interface didn last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 127425 published 2019-08-12 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/127425 title NewStart CGSL MAIN 4.05 : kernel Multiple Vulnerabilities (NS-SA-2019-0152) NASL family OracleVM Local Security Checks NASL id ORACLEVM_OVMSA-2016-0163.NASL description The remote OracleVM system is missing necessary patches to address critical security updates : - aacraid: Check size values after double-fetch from user (Dave Carroll) [Orabug: 25060050] (CVE-2016-6480) (CVE-2016-6480) - IB/srpt: Simplify srpt_handle_tsk_mgmt (Bart Van Assche) [Orabug: 25060011] (CVE-2016-6327) - audit: fix a double fetch in audit_log_single_execve_arg (Paul Moore) [Orabug: 25059945] (CVE-2016-6136) - ALSA: timer: Fix leak in events via snd_timer_user_tinterrupt (Kangjie Lu) [Orabug: 25059899] (CVE-2016-4578) - ALSA: timer: Fix leak in events via snd_timer_user_ccallback (Kangjie Lu) [Orabug: 25059899] (CVE-2016-4578) - ALSA: timer: Fix leak in SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_PARAMS (Kangjie Lu) [Orabug: 25059753] (CVE-2016-4569) - acpi: Disable ACPI table override if securelevel is set (Linn Crosetto) [Orabug: 25058991] (CVE-2016-3699) - Bluetooth: Fix potential NULL dereference in RFCOMM bind callback (Jaganath Kanakkassery) [Orabug: 25058903] (CVE-2015-8956) - ASN.1: Fix non-match detection failure on data overrun (David Howells) [Orabug: 25059046] (CVE-2016-2053) - mm: migrate dirty page without clear_page_dirty_for_io etc (Hugh Dickins) [Orabug: 25059194] (CVE-2016-3070) last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 95046 published 2016-11-22 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2016-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/95046 title OracleVM 3.3 : Unbreakable / etc (OVMSA-2016-0163) NASL family Ubuntu Local Security Checks NASL id UBUNTU_USN-3098-1.NASL description Vladimir Benes discovered an unbounded recursion in the VLAN and TEB Generic Receive Offload (GRO) processing implementations in the Linux kernel, A remote attacker could use this to cause a stack corruption, leading to a denial of service (system crash).
