Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: don't replace page in rq_pages if it's a continuation of last page
The splice read calls nfsd_splice_actor to put the pages containing file
data into the svc_rqst->rq_pages array. It's possible however to get a
splice result that only has a partial page at the end, if (e.g.) the
filesystem hands back a short read that doesn't cover the whole page.
nfsd_splice_actor will plop the partial page into its rq_pages array and
return. Then later, when nfsd_splice_actor is called again, the
remainder of the page may end up being filled out. At this point,
nfsd_splice_actor will put the page into the array again corrupting
the reply. If this is done enough times, rq_next_page will overrun the
array and corrupt the trailing fields -- the rq_respages and
rq_next_page pointers themselves.
If we've already added the page to the array in the last pass, don't add
it to the array a second time when dealing with a splice continuation.
This was originally handled properly in nfsd_splice_actor, but commit
91e23b1c3982 ("NFSD: Clean up nfsd_splice_actor()") removed the check
for it.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Network File System daemon (NFSD). An attacker can cause a denial of service (DoS) and memory corruption by triggering repeated partial splice read operations against an active NFS export. Due to improper tracking of read continuations, the kernel repeatedly inserts the same memory page into an internal array, resulting in a buffer overflow that corrupts adjacent kernel data structures.
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as Moderate severity because exploiting the buffer overrun requires local access to trigger partial splice read operations on an active NFS export, limiting the primary impact to memory corruption and a denial of service (system crash). The in-kernel NFS server daemon is not enabled by default in standard Red Hat Enterprise Linux installations. Systems that do not export filesystems or run the NFS server service are not affected by this flaw.
