Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: sit: require CAP_NET_ADMIN in the device netns for changelink
ipip6_changelink() operates on at most two netns, dev_net(dev) and the
tunnel link netns t->net. They differ once the device is created in or
moved to a netns other than the one the request runs in. The rtnl
changelink path checks CAP_NET_ADMIN only against dev_net(dev), so a
caller privileged there but not in t->net can rewrite a tunnel that
lives in t->net.
Gate ipip6_changelink() on rtnl_dev_link_net_capable() at its top,
before any attribute is parsed. sit was the one tunnel type not covered
by the recent series that added this check to the other changelink()
handlers.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. An incorrect permission check in the ipip6_changelink() function, which manages IPv6 over IPv4 (SIT) tunnels, allows a local attacker to bypass intended security restrictions. A user with administrative capabilities (CAP_NET_ADMIN) in one network namespace (a virtualized network environment) could modify a tunnel configuration in a different network namespace where they do not have the necessary privileges. This could lead to unauthorized changes to network tunnel settings, potentially causing network disruption or unintended routing.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this vulnerability, prevent the sit kernel module from loading if IPv6-in-IPv4 tunneling is not required in your environment.
- Blacklist the
sitmodule by creating a configuration file in/etc/modprobe.d/:
- If the module is currently loaded, attempt to remove it:
Warning: Disabling this module prevents the creation and operation of IPv6-in-IPv4 (SIT) network tunnels. If the module is currently in use, unloading it will fail and a system restart will be required for the configuration to take effect.
