Linux Kernel 2.6.10 denial of service

CVSS Meta Temp Score
CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.
Current Exploit Price (≈)
Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.
CTI Interest Score
Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in Linux Kernel 2.6.10 (Operating System). Affected is an unknown code. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a denial of service vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-404. The product does not release or incorrectly releases a resource before it is made available for re-use. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Race condition in the sysfs_read_file and sysfs_write_file functions in Linux kernel before 2.6.10 allows local users to read kernel memory and cause a denial of service (crash) via large offsets in sysfs files.

The bug was discovered 08/08/2005. The weakness was disclosed 12/31/2004 by Alexander Nyberg (Website). The advisory is available at novell.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2004-2302 since 08/08/2005. The exploitability is told to be difficult. Local access is required to approach this attack. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available.

The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 7 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $5k-$25k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 22788 (Debian DSA-922-1 : kernel-source-2.6.8 - several vulnerabilities), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Debian Local Security Checks and running in the context l.

Upgrading to version 2.6.10 eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published 2 years after the disclosure of the vulnerability.
