Linux Kernel 2.4.0/2.5.0/2.6.0 setsockopt MCAST_MSFILTER memory corruption

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 was found in Linux Kernel 2.4.0/2.5.0/2.6.0 (Operating System). It has been declared as problematic. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown part of the component setsockopt. The manipulation of the argument MCAST_MSFILTER with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is 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. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Buffer overflow in the ISO9660 file system component for Linux kernel 2.4.x, 2.5.x and 2.6.x, allows local users with physical access to overflow kernel memory and execute arbitrary code via a malformed CD containing a long symbolic link entry.

The bug was discovered 01/09/2004. The weakness was shared 04/20/2004 by Paul Starzetz and Wojciech Purczynski (zen-parse) with iSEC Security Research (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at isec.pl. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2004-0109 since 02/02/2004. The attack needs to be done within the local network. The exploitation doesn't need any form of authentication. Technical details and also a exploit are known.
