Subject: [FD] OS-S 2016-21 - Local DoS: Linux Kernel Nullpointer Dereference
 via keyctl

OS-S Security Advisory 2016-21
Local DoS: Linux Kernel Nullpointer Dereference via keyctl

Date:
October 31th, 2016
Authors:
Sergej Schumilo, Ralf Spenneberg, Hendrik Schwartke
CVE:
Not yet assigned
CVSS:
4.9 (AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C)
Severity:
Potentially critical. If the kernel is compiled with the option
“Panic-On-Oops”, this vulnerability may lead to a kernel panic.
Ease of Exploitation:
Trivial
Vulnerability Type:
Local unprivileged kernel nullpointer dereference

Abstract:
A malicious interaction with the keyctl usermode interface allows an
attacker to crash the kernel. Processing the attached certificate by the
kernel leads to a kernel nullpointer dereference. This vulnerably can be
triggered by any unprivileged user locally.

Detailed product description:
We have verified the bug on the following kernel builds:
 Ubuntu Server 16.10 (GNU/Linux 4.8.0-22-generic x86_64)
 RedHat Kernel 3.10.0-327.18.2.el7.x86_64

Vendor Communication:
We contacted RedHat on June, 06th 2016.
To this day, no security patch was provided by the vendor.
We publish this Security Advisory in accordance with our responsible
disclosure policy.

Reference: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1343162

Proof of Concept:
As a proof of concept, we are providing a sample exploit program and the
associated certificate.

Severity and Ease of Exploitation:
The vulnerability can be easily exploited by an unprivileged user using
our proof of concept.
