An Integer Overflow in kernel/time/posix-timers.c in the POSIX timer code is caused by the way the overrun accounting works. Depending on interval and expiry time values, the overrun can be larger than INT_MAX, but the accounting is int based. This basically makes the accounting values, which are visible to user space via timer_getoverrun(2) and siginfo::si_overrun, random. For example, a local user can cause a denial of service (signed integer overflow) via crafted mmap, futex, timer_create, and timer_settime system calls." } ] }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "n/a" } ] } ] }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "name": "https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200189", "refsource": "MISC", "url": "https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200189" }, { "name": "USN-3848-2", "refsource": "UBUNTU", "url": "https://usn.ubuntu.com/3848-2/" }, { "name": "USN-3847-1", "refsource": "UBUNTU", "url": "https://usn.ubuntu.com/3847-1/" }, { "name": "https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/78c9c4dfbf8c04883941445a195276bb4bb92c76", "refsource": "MISC", "url": "https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/78c9c4dfbf8c04883941445a195276bb4bb92c76" }, { "name": "USN-3847-2", "refsource": "UBUNTU", "url": "https://usn.ubuntu.com/3847-2/" }, { "name": "USN-3849-1", "refsource": "UBUNTU", "url": "https://usn.ubuntu.com/3849-1/" }, { "name": "USN-3849-2", "refsource": "UBUNTU", "url": "https://usn.ubuntu.com/3849-2/" }, { "name": "USN-3848-1", "refsource": "UBUNTU", "url": "https://usn.ubuntu.com/3848-1/" }, { "name": "USN-3847-3", "refsource": "UBUNTU", "url": "https://usn.ubuntu.com/3847-3/" }, { "name": "https://github.com/lcytxw/bug_repro/tree/master/bug_200189", "refsource": "MISC", "url": "https://github.com/lcytxw/bug_repro/tree/master/bug_200189" }, { "refsource": "MLIST", "name": "[debian-lts-announce] 20190315 [SECURITY] [DLA 1715-1] linux-4.9 security update", "url": "https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2019/03/msg00017.html" }, { "refsource": "MLIST", "name": "[debian-lts-announce] 20190327 [SECURITY] [DLA 1731-1] linux security update", "url": "https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2019/03/msg00034.html" }, { "refsource": "MLIST", "name": "[debian-lts-announce] 20190401 [SECURITY] [DLA 1731-2] linux regression update", "url": "https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2019/04/msg00004.html" } ] } }
