CVE-2013-4299: Infoleak

First published: Wed Sep 04 2013(Updated: )

A flaw was found in the way Linux kernel's device-mapper subsystem, under certain conditions, interpreted data written to snapshot block devices. Snapshots are constructed from a single "cow" (copy-on-write) device that contains a mixture of data and metadata, and the bug involves a user writing a data block that is later incorrectly interpreted as metadata controlling how blocks are mapped. An attacker could construct a mapping to read data from disk blocks in 'free space' that is normally inaccessible. Please note that apart from having security consequences (data leak), this bug is also a data corruptor. Acknowledgements: Red Hat would like to thank Fujitsu for reporting this issue.
