Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ima: fix out-of-bounds read in xattr_verify()<br />
<br />
The digest-length check in xattr_verify() mixes int and size_t:<br />
<br />
if (xattr_len - sizeof(xattr_value->type) - hash_start >=<br />
iint->ima_hash->length)<br />
<br />
sizeof() yields size_t, so the usual arithmetic conversions promote<br />
the whole left-hand side to unsigned 64-bit before the subtraction<br />
runs. For a truncated xattr this underflows instead of going negative:<br />
a 1-byte IMA_XATTR_DIGEST_NG xattr (xattr_len == 1, hash_start == 1)<br />
turns "1 - 1 - 1" into SIZE_MAX, which is trivially >= ima_hash->length.<br />
The check then passes and the following memcmp() reads<br />
iint->ima_hash->length bytes starting past the end of the buffer<br />
vfs_getxattr_alloc() allocated for it.<br />
<br />
Nothing upstream clamps xattr_len back into a safe range first:<br />
ima_get_hash_algo() only special-cases xattr_len
Impacto
