[OpenBSD] Schwachstelle in procfs Dateisystem



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,

soeben erreichte uns nachfolgende Warnung des OpenBSD Teams. Wir geben
diese Informationen unveraendert an Sie weiter.

  Ein lokaler Angreifer kann eine unzureichende Ueberpruefung von
  Speichergrenzen ausnuzten, um beliebige Speicherbereiche des Kernels
  zu lesen. Potentiell kann ein Angreifer diese Schwachstelle ausnuzten,
  um beliebige Befehle mit erweiterten Privilegien auszufuehren.
  Allerdings ist laut OpenBSD das proc Dateisystem nicht per default
  gemountet.

Betroffen sind die folgenden Software Pakete und Plattformen:

  OpenBSD-stable
  OpenBSD 3.5
  OpenBSD 3.4

Vom Hersteller werden Patches zur Verfuegung gestellt.

OpenBSD Security Advisory: procfs Vulnerability


Detail
====== 

Incorrect bounds checking in several procfs functions could allow an 
unprivileged malicious user to read arbitrary kernel memory, with the 
potential to use this information to escalate privilege.



                ESB-2004.0342 -- OpenBSD Security Advisory
                           procfs Vulnerability
                                14 May 2004

===========================================================================

       

Product:                procfs
Publisher:              OpenBSD
Operating System:       OpenBSD-stable
                        OpenBSD 3.5
                        OpenBSD 3.4
Impact:                 Access Privileged Data
                        Increased Privileges
Access Required:        Existing Account

- - - --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT--------------------

Incorrect bounds checking in several procfs functions could allow an 
unprivileged malicious user to read arbitrary kernel memory, with the 
potential to use this information to escalate privilege.  OpenBSD does not 
mount the proc filesystem by default, and we continue to recommend against 
its use.

The cvs -stable branches have been updated to contain a fix, which is also 
available in patch form for 3.4 and 3.5.

Credit goes to Deprotect Advisories <advisories@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> for 
identification of the bug.

Patches: ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/3.5/common/006_procfs.patch
ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/3.4/common/020_procfs.patch
