CVE-2014-3145

Kernel: filter: prevent nla extensions to peek beyond the end of the message

Published May 11, 2014 CVSS 2.0 · 4.9 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The BPF_S_ANC_NLATTR_NEST extension implementation in the sk_run_filter function in net/core/filter.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.3 uses the reverse order in a certain subtraction, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (over-read and system crash) via crafted BPF instructions. NOTE: the affected code was moved to the __skb_get_nlattr_nest function before the vulnerability was announced.
