A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel up to 2.6.38.8 (Operating System). It has been rated as critical. This issue affects the function rose_parse_ccitt
. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does
not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the
properties that are required to process the data safely and
correctly. Impacted is availability. The summary by CVE is:
The rose_parse_ccitt function in net/rose/rose_subr.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 does not validate the FAC_CCITT_DEST_NSAP and FAC_CCITT_SRC_NSAP fields, which allows remote attackers to (1) cause a denial of service (integer underflow, heap memory corruption, and panic) via a small length value in data sent to a ROSE socket, or (2) conduct stack-based buffer overflow attacks via a large length value in data sent to a ROSE socket.
The issue has been introduced in 03/14/2011. The weakness was presented 06/21/2012 (Website). The advisory is shared at github.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2011-4913 since 12/23/2011. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be initiated remotely.
