CVE-2013-2929: Low severity Linux Linux kernel vulnerability

Q: What is the severity of CVE-2013-2929?

CVE-2013-2929 is considered a moderate severity vulnerability affecting the Linux kernel.

Q: How do I fix CVE-2013-2929?

To fix CVE-2013-2929, update to a patched version of the Linux kernel, such as 5.10.223-1 or later versions.

Q: Which Linux kernel versions are affected by CVE-2013-2929?

CVE-2013-2929 affects Linux kernel versions up to and including 3.12.

Q: What is get_dumpable() in relation to CVE-2013-2929?

The get_dumpable() function in Linux is vulnerable because it does not return a boolean value as expected, affecting its reliability.

Q: What are the potential impacts of CVE-2013-2929?

The vulnerability may lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data or the ability to bypass security restrictions on the system.

The getdumpable() return value is not boolean. Most users of the function actually want to be testing for non-SUIDDUMPUSER(1) rather than SUIDDUMPDISABLE(0). The SUIDDUMPROOT(2) is also considered a protected state.

If the system had set the sysctl fs.suiddumpable=2, a user was able to ptrace attach to processes that he would otherwise be unable to because of the dumpable check.

— Red Hat

The Linux kernel before 3.12.2 does not properly use the getdumpable function, which allows local users to bypass intended ptrace restrictions or obtain sensitive information from IA64 scratch registers via a crafted application, related to kernel/ptrace.c and arch/ia64/include/asm/processor.h.
