kernel: multiple vulnerabilities
| Package(s): | kernel |
CVE #(s): | CVE-2011-2497
CVE-2011-2517
|
| Created: | July 12, 2011 |
Updated: | September 13, 2011 |
| Description: |
From the kernel patch by Dan Rosenberg:
A remote user can provide a small value for the command size field in
the command header of an l2cap configuration request, resulting in an
integer underflow when subtracting the size of the configuration request
header. This results in copying a very large amount of data via
memcpy() and destroying the kernel heap. Check for underflow. (CVE-2011-2497)
From the Red Hat bugzilla:
In both trigger_scan and sched_scan operations, we were checking for the SSID length before assigning the value correctly. Since the memory was just kzalloc'ed, the check was always failing and SSID with over 32 characters were allowed to go through. (CVE-2011-2517)
