In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udf: fix partition descriptor append bookkeeping
Mounting a crafted UDF image with repeated partition descriptors can
trigger a heap out-of-bounds write in part_descs_loc[].
handle_partition_descriptor() deduplicates entries by partition number,
but appended slots never record partnum. As a result duplicate
Partition Descriptors are appended repeatedly and num_part_descs keeps
growing.
Once the table is full, the growth path still sizes the allocation from
partnum even though inserts are indexed by num_part_descs. If partnum is
already aligned to PART_DESC_ALLOC_STEP, ALIGN(partnum, step) can keep
the old capacity and the next append writes past the end of the table.
Store partnum in the appended slot and size growth from the next append
count so deduplication and capacity tracking follow the same model.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Universal Disk Format (UDF) filesystem. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by tricking a user into mounting a specially crafted UDF image containing repeated partition descriptors. This could lead to a heap out-of-bounds write, potentially causing system instability, denial of service, or arbitrary code execution.
Отчет
Because this vulnerability requires that an attacker can mount a malicious UDF filesystem, they must either have elevated privileges or physical access to a system configured to automount UDF volumes via e.g. an optical disc drive. For that reason, Red Hat assesses that the impact of this vulnerability is Moderate.
