Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic was found in Linux Kernel up to 2.6.15 (Operating System). Affected by this vulnerability is some unknown processing of the component kTwinHan DST Frontend/Card. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Linux kernel before 2.6.15 allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via a set_mempolicy call with a 0 bitmask, which causes a panic when a page fault occurs.

The weakness was published 01/04/2006 by Perceval Anichini (Website). The advisory is shared at kernel.org. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2005-3358. Access to the local network is required for this attack to succeed. The exploitation doesn't need any form of authentication. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available.

It is possible to download the exploit at exploit-db.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. We expect the 0-day to have been worth approximately $5k-$25k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 21977 (CentOS 4 : kernel (CESA-2006:0101)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family CentOS Local Security Checks. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 117768 (CentOS Security Update for Kernel (CESA-2006:0101)).

Upgrading eliminates this vulnerability. Applying a patch is able to eliminate this problem. The bugfix is ready for download at ftp.kernel.org. The best possible mitigation is suggested to be upgrading to the latest version.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (23989), Exploit-DB (27031), Tenable (21977), SecurityFocus (BID 16135†) and Secunia (SA18216†). Similar entries are available at VDB-1712, VDB-1942, VDB-1943 and VDB-1944. Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
