Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
can: etas_es58x: populate ndo_change_mtu() to prevent buffer overflow<br />
<br />
Sending an PF_PACKET allows to bypass the CAN framework logic and to<br />
directly reach the xmit() function of a CAN driver. The only check<br />
which is performed by the PF_PACKET framework is to make sure that<br />
skb->len fits the interface&#39;s MTU.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, because the etas_es58x driver does not populate its<br />
net_device_ops->ndo_change_mtu(), it is possible for an attacker to<br />
configure an invalid MTU by doing, for example:<br />
<br />
$ ip link set can0 mtu 9999<br />
<br />
After doing so, the attacker could open a PF_PACKET socket using the<br />
ETH_P_CANXL protocol:<br />
<br />
socket(PF_PACKET, SOCK_RAW, htons(ETH_P_CANXL));<br />
<br />
to inject a malicious CAN XL frames. For example:<br />
<br />
struct canxl_frame frame = {<br />
.flags = 0xff,<br />
.len = 2048,<br />
};<br />
<br />
The CAN drivers&#39; xmit() function are calling can_dev_dropped_skb() to<br />
check that the skb is valid, unfortunately under above conditions, the<br />
malicious packet is able to go through can_dev_dropped_skb() checks:<br />
<br />
1. the skb->protocol is set to ETH_P_CANXL which is valid (the<br />
function does not check the actual device capabilities).<br />
<br />
2. the length is a valid CAN XL length.<br />
<br />
And so, es58x_start_xmit() receives a CAN XL frame which it is not<br />
able to correctly handle and will thus misinterpret it as a CAN(FD)<br />
frame.<br />
<br />
This can result in a buffer overflow. For example, using the es581.4<br />
variant, the frame will be dispatched to es581_4_tx_can_msg(), go<br />
through the last check at the beginning of this function:<br />
<br />
if (can_is_canfd_skb(skb))<br />
return -EMSGSIZE;<br />
<br />
and reach this line:<br />
<br />
memcpy(tx_can_msg->data, cf->data, cf->len);<br />
<br />
Here, cf->len corresponds to the flags field of the CAN XL frame. In<br />
our previous example, we set canxl_frame->flags to 0xff. Because the<br />
maximum expected length is 8, a buffer overflow of 247 bytes occurs!<br />
<br />
Populate net_device_ops->ndo_change_mtu() to ensure that the<br />
interface&#39;s MTU can not be set to anything bigger than CAN_MTU or<br />
CANFD_MTU (depending on the device capabilities). By fixing the root<br />
cause, this prevents the buffer overflow.
