ibutils: insecure relative RPATH

Untrusted search path vulnerability in a certain Red Hat build script for the ibmssh executable in ibutils packages before ibutils-1.5.7-2.el6 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 and ibutils-1.2-11.2.el5 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan Horse program in refix/lib/, related to an incorrect RPATH setting in the ELF header.

openibd in OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution (OFED) 1.5.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/ib_set_node_desc.sh temporary file.

libsdp: insecure log file handling

The default configuration of libsdp.conf in libsdp 1.1.104 and earlier creates log files in /tmp, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a (1) symlink or (2) hard link attack on the libsdp.log.##### temporary file.

ulp/sdp/sdp_proc.c in the ib_sdp module (aka ib_sdp.ko) in the ofa_kernel package in the InfiniBand driver implementation in OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution (OFED) before 1.5.3 does not properly handle certain non-array variables, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (stack memory corruption and system crash) by reading the /proc/net/sdpstats file.

librdmacm: Tried to connect to port 6125 if ibacm.port was not found

librdmacm 1.0.16, when ibacm.port is not specified, connects to port 6125, which allows remote attackers to specify the address resolution information for the application via a malicious ib_acm service.

ibacm: DoS (ibacm deamon crash) by joining responses for multicast destinations

ibacm before 1.0.6 does not properly manage reference counts for multicast connections, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (ibacm service crash) via a crafted join response.

ibacm: ibacm service files created with world writable permissions (DoS)

ibacm 1.0.7 creates files with world-writable permissions, which allows local users to overwrite the ib_acm daemon log or ibacm.port file.

ibutils: insecure handling of files in the /tmp directory

OpenFabrics ibutils 1.5.7 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on (1) ibdiagnet.db, (2) ibdiagnet.fdbs, (3) ibdiagnet_ibis.log, (4) ibdiagnet.log, (5) ibdiagnet.lst, (6) ibdiagnet.mcfdbs, (7) ibdiagnet.pkey, (8) ibdiagnet.psl, (9) ibdiagnet.slvl, or (10) ibdiagnet.sm in /tmp/.
