Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udf: validate free block extents against the partition length
udf_free_blocks() checks the logical block number and count against the
partition length, but drops the extent offset from that final bound. A
crafted extent can pass the guard while logicalBlockNum + offset + count
points past the partition, which later indexes past the space bitmap
array.
A single ftruncate(2) on a file backed by such an extent reliably
panics the kernel. This is a local availability issue. On desktop
systems where UDisks/polkit allows the active user to mount removable
UDF media without CAP_SYS_ADMIN, an unprivileged local user can supply
the crafted filesystem and trigger the panic by truncating a writable
file on it. Systems that require root or CAP_SYS_ADMIN to mount the
image have a higher prerequisite.
No confidentiality or integrity impact is claimed: the reproduced
primitive is an out-of-bounds read of a bitmap pointer slot followed by
a kernel panic.
Use the already computed logicalBlockNum + offset + count value for the
partition length check. Also make load_block_bitmap() reject an
out-of-range block group before indexing s_block_bitmap[], so corrupted
callers cannot walk past the flexible array.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Universal Disk Format (UDF) filesystem. The udf_free_blocks() function fails to properly validate free block extents against the partition length. This allows a local, unprivileged user to create a specially crafted UDF filesystem that, when a file on it is truncated, can lead to an out-of-bounds read and trigger a kernel panic. This vulnerability results in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the affected system.
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.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To prevent the udf kernel module from loading, create a modprobe configuration file.
- Create
/etc/modprobe.d/disable-udf.confwith:
- Regenerate the initramfs:
- Reboot the system. This action will disable UDF filesystem support, potentially affecting systems that rely on UDF media.
