Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
isofs: bound Rock Ridge symlink components to the SL record
get_symlink_chunk() and the SL handling in
parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal() walk the variable-length components of
a Rock Ridge "SL" (symbolic link) record. Each component is a two-byte
header (flags, len) followed by len bytes of text, so it occupies
slp->len + 2 bytes. Both loops read slp->len and advance to the next
component, and get_symlink_chunk() additionally does
memcpy(rpnt, slp->text, slp->len), but neither checks that the component
lies within the SL record before dereferencing it.
A crafted SL record whose component declares a len that runs past the
record (rr->len) therefore triggers an out-of-bounds read of up to 255
bytes. When the record sits at the tail of its backing buffer - for
example a small kmalloc()ed continuation block reached through a CE
record - the read crosses the allocation; get_symlink_chunk() then
copies the out-of-bounds bytes into the symlink body returned to user
space by readlink(), disclosing adjacent kernel memory.
ISO 9660 images are routinely mounted from untrusted removable media -
desktop environments auto-mount them (e.g. via udisks2) without
CAP_SYS_ADMIN - so the record contents are attacker-controlled.
Reject any component that does not fit in the remaining record bytes
before using it. In get_symlink_chunk() return NULL, like the existing
output-buffer (plimit) checks, so a malformed record makes readlink()
fail with -EIO rather than silently returning a truncated target; in
parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal() stop the inode-size walk.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ISO 9660 file system (isofs) component. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted ISO 9660 image containing a malformed Rock Ridge symbolic link record. This flaw allows for an out-of-bounds read, leading to the disclosure of sensitive kernel memory information. This can occur when the crafted image is mounted, potentially without requiring elevated privileges.
Отчет
This issue is triggered by a specially crafted disk image containing on-disk metadata inconsistencies. Exploitation requires that an attacker convince a user to download and use a malicious image from an untrusted source, a scenario with limited practical impact. Red Hat rates this as Low severity.
