In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
SUNRPC: Reject krb5 v2 wrap tokens with oversized ec field
gss_krb5_unwrap_v2() sets buf->len to a logical
length, which can be much smaller than head[0].iov_len
(the allocated receive-page capacity). It then calls
xdr_buf_trim() with a trim length derived from the 16-bit
"extra count" (ec) field in the Kerberos v2 token header.
The ec field is authenticated by the post-decrypt memcmp()
against the encrypted header copy, so a randomly-mutated
value is rejected. However, any peer holding a valid GSS
context can legitimately encrypt a token whose ec exceeds
the plaintext length. Per RFC 4121, such a token is
structurally malformed.
Although xdr_buf_trim() now clamps the buf->len subtraction
to avoid unsigned underflow, the buffer is still left in a
semantically invalid state (zero length, inconsistent iov
lengths) when ec is oversized.
Reject these tokens before calling xdr_buf_trim(), giving
callers a well-defined GSS_S_DEFECTIVE_TOKEN error and
keeping the xdr_buf internally consistent. The wrapped blob
begins at a nonzero offset -- both callers pass len as
offset + opaque_len -- so buf->len still counts the offset
bytes that precede the blob. Compare the trim length
against the remaining wrapped segment, buf->len - offset,
rather than the whole buffer; comparing against buf->len
alone leaves an offset-wide window in which an oversized ec
passes the test and xdr_buf_trim() cuts into the bytes ahead
of the blob.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Server Unix Remote Procedure Call (SUNRPC) component. A remote attacker, with a valid Generic Security Service (GSS) context, could send a specially crafted Kerberos v2 wrap token with an oversized "extra count" (ec) field. This improper handling of malformed tokens could lead to the buffer being left in a semantically invalid state, potentially causing a denial of service or other unpredictable behavior within the system.
