Description Johannes Segitz 2015-02-23 10:25:31 UTC 
CVE-2015-2042

Max unacked packets/bytes is an int while sizeof(long) was used in the sysctl table. This means that when they were getting read we'd also leak kernel memory to userspace along with the timeout values.

Fix: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=db27ebb111e9f69efece08e4cb6a34ff980f8896

Comment 4 Michal Kubeček 2015-04-09 05:45:34 UTC 
I wonder why nobody noticed (for more than 5 years) that those procfs files
show two values rather than one. Personally, I would be more worried about
writes than about reads:

unicorn:~ # cat /proc/sys/net/rds/max_unacked_bytes 
16777216        8
unicorn:~ # cat /proc/sys/net/rds/max_unacked_packets 
8       0
unicorn:~ # echo '1111 2222' >/proc/sys/net/rds/max_unacked_bytes      
unicorn:~ # cat /proc/sys/net/rds/max_unacked_bytes               
1111    2222
unicorn:~ # cat /proc/sys/net/rds/max_unacked_packets 
2222    0
Comment 5 Michal Kubeček 2015-04-09 09:10:07 UTC 
A simple testcase:

BAD:
11sp1:~ # cat /proc/sys/net/rds/max_unacked_* /proc/sys/net/rds/ping_enable
16777216        1
8       16777216
1
11sp1:~ # echo '1111 2222' >/proc/sys/net/rds/max_unacked_packets
11sp1:~ # cat /proc/sys/net/rds/max_unacked_* /proc/sys/net/rds/ping_enable
2222    1
1111    2222
1
11sp1:~ # echo '3333 4444' >/proc/sys/net/rds/max_unacked_bytes
11sp1:~ # cat /proc/sys/net/rds/max_unacked_* /proc/sys/net/rds/ping_enable
3333    4444
1111    3333

Fix pushed into

  cve/linux-3.12
  cve/linux-3.0
  cve/linux-2.6.32

SLE11-SP1-LTSS case is a bit more complicated as rds.ko is only in kernel-$flavor-extra
and ofed-kmp-$flavor there.

I'm going to push the fix into openSUSE-13.1 and openSUSE-13.2 now.
