Exploit públicoNo conocidosin código público localizado
En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad:
squashfs: Add dictionary size range check to prevent shift-out-of-bounds
Cuando se monta una imagen SquashFS anómala (el indicador COMP_OPTS es 1 pero el tamaño del diccionario es 0) y se realizan operaciones de desplazamiento con dictionarysize, el exponente del desplazamiento es -1, lo que provoca un shift-out-of-bounds.
Se corrige añadiendo una comprobación del rango del tamaño del diccionario antes de la operación de desplazamiento.
Detalles técnicos trazas, registros y código del informe original
Detalle como sigue:
squashfs_comp_opts(msblk, buffer, length)
squashfs_xz_comp_opts()
if (comp_opts)
n = ffs(opts->dict_size) - 1;<----opts->dict_size=0, n=-1
if (opts->dict_size != (1 << n) && opts->dict_size !=
(1 << n) + (1 << (n + 1))) <----shift-out-of-boundsTraducción automática del texto original de NVD (en inglés).
