Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux Kernel versions prior to 2.6.36
Description
The issue is related to improper input validation in the Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS) protocol implementation. Specifically, the
rds page copy user function in net/rds/page.c does not properly validate addresses obtained from user space. This allows local users to gain privileges via crafted use of the sendmsg and recvmsg system calls.Recommendations
For Linux Kernel versions prior to 2.6.36, update to version 2.6.36 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the
sendmsg and recvmsg system calls to minimize the risk of exploitation.Exploit
