Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Linux Kernel 2.6.28.2 (Operating System). Affected by this issue is the function ip_frag_reasm. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to 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. Impacted is availability. CVE summarizes:

The ip_frag_reasm function in net/ipv4/ip_fragment.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.32-rc8, and 2.6.29 and later versions before 2.6.32, calls IP_INC_STATS_BH with an incorrect argument, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and hang) via long IP packets, possibly related to the ip_defrag function.

The issue has been introduced in 12/25/2008. The weakness was presented 12/08/2009 (Website). The advisory is shared for download at redhat.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2009-1298. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be launched remotely. No form of authentication is required for exploitation. There are known technical details, but no exploit is available. The current price for an exploit might be approx. USD $0-$5k (estimation calculated on 08/28/2021).

The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 340 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $5k-$25k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 43035 (Fedora 11 : kernel-2.6.30.9-102.fc11 (2009-12786)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Fedora Local Security Checks. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 165244 (SUSE Security Update for Kernel (SUSE-SA:2010:001)).
