ISS X-Force Database: linux-smbrecvtrans2-memory-leak(18137): Linux kernel smb_recv

Linux kernel smb_recv_trans2 memory leak

linux-smbrecvtrans2-memory-leak (18137)

Medium Risk

Description:

Linux kernel could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a vulnerability in the smb_recv_trans2 function. A remote attacker, in control of a malicious SMB server, could send specially-crafted TRANS2 SMB packets to cause a kernel memory leak.

Consequences:

Obtain Information

Remedy:

For Linux kernel 2.4:
Upgrade to the latest version (2.4.28 or later), available from the Linux Kernel Web site. See References.

For Ubuntu Linux:
Upgrade to the latest linux-image package (2.6.8.1_2.6.8.1-16.10 or later), as listed in USN-60-0 January 14, 2005 for more information. See References.

For Red Hat Linux:
Upgrade to the latest kernel package, as listed below. Refer to RHSA-2004:549-10 for more information. See References.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop and ES, AS, WS (v. 3): 2.4.21-20.0.1.EL or later

For SUSE Linux:
Upgrade to the latest kernel package, as listed in SUSE-SA:2004:042, 2004 for more information. See References.

For Debian GNU/Linux:
Refer to DSA-1070-1, DSA-1069-1, DSA-1067-1, or DSA-1082-1 for patch, upgrade, or suggested workaround information. See References.

For other distributions:
Contact your vendor for upgrade or patch information.

BID-11695: Linux Kernel SMBFS Multiple Remote Vulnerabilities
CVE-2004-0949: The smb_recv_trans2 function call in the samba filesystem (smbfs) in Linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6 does not properly handle the re-assembly of fragmented packets correctly, which could allow remote samba servers to (1) read arbitrary kernel information or (2) raise a counter value to an arbitrary number by sending the first part of the fragmented packet multiple times.
