Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel 2.6.16.9 (Operating System) and classified as critical. This issue affects the function iriap_getvaluebyclass_indication. 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 confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the iriap_getvaluebyclass_indication function in net/irda/iriap.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging connectivity to an IrDA infrared network and sending a large integer value for a (1) name length or (2) attribute length.

The issue has been introduced in 03/20/2006. The weakness was disclosed 06/08/2013 by Dan Rosenberg (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at github.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2011-1180. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is needed for a successful exploitation. Technical details of the vulnerability are known, but there is no available exploit. The pricing for an exploit might be around USD $5k-$25k at the moment (estimation calculated on 01/03/2022).

The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 2637 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $5k-$25k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 55028 (Debian DSA-2240-1 : 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 165558 (SUSE Enterprise Linux Security Update Linux Kernel (SUSE-SA:2011:019)).

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 (55028), SecurityFocus (BID 46980†) and Vulnerability Center (SBV-30621†). The entries VDB-4261, VDB-4416, VDB-4544 and VDB-55922 are pretty similar. Be aware that VulDB is the high quality source for vulnerability data.
