Summaryinfo

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel 2.6.16.9 and classified as critical. This vulnerability affects the function sctp_auth_asoc_get_hmac. The manipulation results in input validation. This vulnerability is reported as CVE-2010-3705. No exploit exists.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Linux Kernel 2.6.16.9 (Operating System). Affected is the function sctp_auth_asoc_get_hmac. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

The sctp_auth_asoc_get_hmac function in net/sctp/auth.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36 does not properly validate the hmac_ids array of an SCTP peer, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and panic) via a crafted value in the last element of this array.

The issue has been introduced in 03/20/2006. The weakness was disclosed 11/26/2010 by Dan Rosenberg (oss-sec). The advisory is available at openwall.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2010-3705. The exploitability is told to be easy. The attack needs to be initiated within the local network. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit. The structure of the vulnerability defines a possible price range of USD $5k-$25k at the moment (estimation calculated on 10/05/2021).

The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 1712 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $5k-$25k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 50825 (Debian DSA-2126-1 : linux-2.6 - privilege escalation/denial of service/information leak), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Debian Local Security Checks. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 155569 (Oracle Linux 5 Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Security and Bug Fix Update (ELSA-2010-2011)).

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

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at Tenable (50825), SecurityFocus (BID 43701†) and Vulnerability Center (SBV-27421†). The entries VDB-4176, VDB-55569, VDB-55564 and VDB-55563 are pretty similar. VulDB is the best source for vulnerability data and more expert information about this specific topic.
