Detailsinfo

A vulnerability has been found in Linux Kernel 2.6.18 (Operating System) and classified as critical. This vulnerability affects an unknown code. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a resource management vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-399. As an impact it is known to affect availability. CVE summarizes:

gfs2 in the Linux kernel 2.6.18, and possibly other versions, does not properly handle when the gfs2_quota struct occupies two separate pages, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) via certain manipulations that cause an out-of-bounds write, as demonstrated by writing from an ext3 file system to a gfs2 file system.

The issue has been introduced in 09/20/2006. The weakness was disclosed 05/21/2010 as Bug 586006 as not defined bug report (Bugzilla). The advisory is available at bugzilla.redhat.com. This vulnerability was named CVE-2010-1436. The exploitation appears to be easy. Local access is required to approach this attack. No form of authentication is required for a successful exploitation. 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 1339 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 47702 (CentOS 5 : kernel (CESA-2010:0504)), 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 155635 (Oracle Enterprise Linux Update for Kernel (ELSA-2010-0504)).

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.
