UBUNTU-CVE-2023-52429: Medium severity ubuntu/linux-aws vulnerability

Q: What level of access does an attacker need to trigger this issue?

The vulnerability requires local access and low privileges. It does not require user interaction, and its impact is denial of service through a system crash.

Q: Which Ubuntu kernel packages are identified as affected?

The listed packages are ubuntu/linux, ubuntu/linux-aws, ubuntu/linux-azure, ubuntu/linux-gcp, ubuntu/linux-fips, ubuntu/linux-aws-fips, ubuntu/linux-azure-fips, and ubuntu/linux-gcp-fips.

Q: What is the practical impact of successful exploitation?

A malformed device-mapper ioctl target count can cause the kernel to attempt an allocation larger than INT_MAX bytes in dm_table_create. The stated security impact is availability loss; confidentiality and integrity are not affected.

Published Feb 12, 2024

Updated

dmtablecreate in drivers/md/dm-table.c in the Linux kernel through 6.7.4 can attempt to (in alloctargets) allocate more than INTMAX bytes, and crash, because of a missing check for struct dmioctl.targetcount.

Frequently Asked Questions

What level of access does an attacker need to trigger this issue?

The vulnerability requires local access and low privileges. It does not require user interaction, and its impact is denial of service through a system crash.

Which Ubuntu kernel packages are identified as affected?

The listed packages are ubuntu/linux, ubuntu/linux-aws, ubuntu/linux-azure, ubuntu/linux-gcp, ubuntu/linux-fips, ubuntu/linux-aws-fips, ubuntu/linux-azure-fips, and ubuntu/linux-gcp-fips.

What is the practical impact of successful exploitation?

A malformed device-mapper ioctl target count can cause the kernel to attempt an allocation larger than INT_MAX bytes in dm_table_create. The stated security impact is availability loss; confidentiality and integrity are not affected.
