In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: validate cached peer INIT chunk length in COOKIE_ECHO processing
When a listening SCTP server processes a COOKIE_ECHO chunk, the cached
peer INIT chunk embedded after the cookie is parsed and its parameters
are later walked by sctp_process_init() using sctp_walk_params().
However, the chunk header length of this cached INIT chunk was not
validated against the remaining buffer in the COOKIE_ECHO payload. If
the length field is inflated, the parameter walk can run beyond the
actual received data, leading to out-of-bounds reads and potential
memory corruption during later parameter handling (e.g. STATE_COOKIE
processing and kmemdup() copies).
Add a bounds check in sctp_unpack_cookie() to ensure the cached INIT
chunk length does not exceed the available data in the COOKIE_ECHO
buffer before it is used.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) implementation. A remote attacker could exploit this by sending a specially crafted COOKIE_ECHO chunk to a listening SCTP server. The server's failure to properly validate the length of a cached peer INIT chunk within the COOKIE_ECHO payload could lead to out-of-bounds reads and memory corruption. This could result in a denial of service or potentially information disclosure.
Отчет
SCTP COOKIE_ECHO processing failed to validate the cached peer INIT chunk length against the remaining cookie buffer, allowing a remote SCTP peer to make parameter parsing walk beyond received data and potentially trigger OOB reads or later memory corruption in SCTP parameter handling. This allows sctp_process_init() and sctp_walk_params() to walk beyond the actual received buffer and can lead to out-of-bounds reads during later parameter handling such as STATE_COOKIE processing and kmemdup() copies.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this issue, prevent module sctp from being loaded. Please see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for how to blacklist a kernel module to prevent it from loading automatically.
