AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:L

A flaw was found in the iscsiuio component of open-iscsi. The IPv6 Neighbor Discovery handler accesses link-layer address options at a fixed offset without verifying the packet contains them. Additionally, the ARP table is updated unconditionally with attacker-controlled addresses from the packet headers. An attacker on the same network segment can send a minimal Neighbor Advertisement to poison the ARP table and redirect network traffic.

AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L

A flaw was found in the iscsiuio component of open-iscsi. The DHCPv6 option parser calls strlen() on raw network data without ensuring a NUL terminator is present, causing it to read past the buffer into heap memory. This can result in a daemon crash, a 1-byte heap overwrite, or corruption of the iSCSI initiator name. An attacker on the same network segment can trigger this by sending a crafted DHCPv6 Advertise message.

A flaw was found in the iscsiuio component of open-iscsi. The DHCPv4 option parser incorrectly calculates the length of the options data, causing it to read beyond the allocated buffer into adjacent heap memory. An attacker on the same network segment can send a crafted DHCP response to crash the daemon or corrupt its network configuration.

Integer Underflow
AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

A flaw was found in open-iscsi. An integer underflow vulnerability in the iscsiuio component, specifically during IPv4 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) parsing, allows a remote attacker on the same local network segment to cause a denial of service. By sending a specially crafted IPv4/UDP DHCP reply, the attacker can trigger an out-of-bounds read, leading to the iscsiuio process crashing. This issue affects systems where iscsiuio is actively handling IPv4 DHCP traffic.

Integer Underflow
AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

A flaw was found in open-iscsi's iscsiuio component. This vulnerability involves an integer underflow and out-of-bounds read during Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) packet parsing. Specifically, crafted DHCPv6 Advertise traffic with a short User Datagram Protocol (UDP) length can cause the DHCPv6 payload length to underflow. An unauthenticated attacker on an adjacent network segment can exploit this by sending specially crafted IPv6 UDP traffic while the client is in an active DHCPv6 exchange, leading to a denial of service due to a process crash or service disruption.

AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

A flaw was found in open-iscsi. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker on the same local network segment to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) in the iscsiuio daemon. By sending a specially crafted Internet Control Message Protocol version 6 (ICMPv6) Router Advertisement with a zero-length option, the attacker can trigger an infinite loop. This leads to sustained CPU usage, rendering the daemon unresponsive and impacting system availability. A secondary risk of out-of-bounds reads exists with a short IPv6 payload, though no memory corruption or data exposure has been confirmed.

A local non-root user with access to the D-Bus system bus can call the CheckConfig method implemented in the tcmu-runner daemon via handlerqcow.so and exploit an information leak by passing in arbitrary filenames to check.

This allows a local user to check for the existence of root owned files, which might enable more serious security issues in combination with other security flaws in a system.

Null Pointer Dereference

A local non-root user with access to the D-Bus system bus can call the CheckConfig method implemented in the tcmu-runner daemon via handlerglfs.so and cause various kinds of segmentation faults, depending on the string passed to the method.

For example the "hosts" variable in glfscheckconfig() is not zero initialized, but always freed on error, causing invalid free and/or invalid memory accesses.
