Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: netfilter: ip_tables: fix infoleak to userspace
Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2011 21:12:14 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1299780735-32607-1-git-send-email-segoon@openwall.com> (raw)
Structures ipt_replace, compat_ipt_replace, and xt_get_revision are
copied from userspace. Fields of these structs that are
zero-terminated strings are not checked. When they are used as argument
to a format string containing "%s" in request_module(), some sensitive
information is leaked to userspace via argument of spawned modprobe
process.
The first and the third bugs were introduced before the git epoch; the
second was introduced in 2722971c (v2.6.17-rc1). To trigger the bug
one should have CAP_NET_ADMIN.
