Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in Linux Kernel up to 2.6.15.1 (Operating System). This affects the function get_compat_timespec. 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 availability. The summary by CVE is:

Linux kernel 2.6.15.1 and earlier, when running on SPARC architectures, allows local users to cause a denial of service (hang) via a "date -s" command, which causes invalid sign extended arguments to be provided to the get_compat_timespec function call.

The bug was discovered 02/02/2006. The weakness was released 01/31/2006 (Website). The advisory is shared at vupen.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2006-0482 since 01/31/2006. The exploitability is told to be easy. An attack has to be approached locally. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 22559 (Debian DSA-1017-1 : 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 eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published 2 months after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (24475), Tenable (22559), SecurityFocus (BID 17216†), OSVDB (59802†) and Secunia (SA19330†).
