Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in Linux Kernel 2.6.20.1 (Operating System). Affected is an unknown functionality of the component Fragmented ICMP Packet Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a information disclosure vulnerability (Memory). CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-200. The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

Linux kernel, and possibly other operating systems, allows remote attackers to read portions of memory via a series of fragmented ICMP packets that generate an ICMP TTL Exceeded response, which includes portions of the memory in the response packet.

The issue has been introduced in 02/05/2007. The weakness was presented 04/09/2004 by Andrew Griffiths as not defined posting (Bugtraq). The advisory is shared for download at securityfocus.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2002-0046. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. Technical details are unknown but an exploit is available. The MITRE ATT&CK project declares the attack technique as T1592.

After even before and not, there has been an exploit disclosed. It is declared as proof-of-concept. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 82041 (Linux ICMP Kernel Information Leakage Vulnerability).

Upgrading eliminates this vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (7998), OSVDB (5394†) and Vulnerability Center (SBV-5639†). See VDB-20608 for similar entry. VulDB is the best source for vulnerability data and more expert information about this specific topic.
