The only check\nwhich is performed by the PF_PACKET framework is to make sure that\nskb->len fits the interface's MTU.\n\nUnfortunately, because the sun4i_can driver does not populate its\nnet_device_ops->ndo_change_mtu(), it is possible for an attacker to\nconfigure an invalid MTU by doing, for example:\n\n $ ip link set can0 mtu 9999\n\nAfter doing so, the attacker could open a PF_PACKET socket using the\nETH_P_CANXL protocol:\n\n\tsocket(PF_PACKET, SOCK_RAW, htons(ETH_P_CANXL))\n\nto inject a malicious CAN XL frames. For example:\n\n\tstruct canxl_frame frame = {\n\t\t.flags = 0xff,\n\t\t.len = 2048,\n\t};\n\nThe CAN drivers' xmit() function are calling can_dev_dropped_skb() to\ncheck that the skb is valid, unfortunately under above conditions, the\nmalicious packet is able to go through can_dev_dropped_skb() checks:\n\n 1. the skb->protocol is set to ETH_P_CANXL which is valid (the\n function does not check the actual device capabilities).\n\n 2. the length is a valid CAN XL length.\n\nAnd so, sun4ican_start_xmit() receives a CAN XL frame which it is not\nable to correctly handle and will thus misinterpret it as a CAN frame.\n\nThis can result in a buffer overflow. The driver will consume cf->len\nas-is with no further checks on this line:\n\n\tdlc = cf->len;\n\nHere, cf->len corresponds to the flags field of the CAN XL frame. In\nour previous example, we set canxl_frame->flags to 0xff. Because the\nmaximum expected length is 8, a buffer overflow of 247 bytes occurs a\ncouple line below when doing:\n\n\tfor (i = 0; i < dlc; i++)\n\t\twritel(cf->data[i], priv->base + (dreg + i * 4));\n\nPopulate net_device_ops->ndo_change_mtu() to ensure that the\ninterface's MTU can not be set to anything bigger than CAN_MTU. By\nfixing the root cause, this prevents the buffer overflow.", "affected": [ { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "versions": [ { "version": "0738eff14d817a02ab082c392c96a1613006f158", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "063539db42203b29d5aa2adf0cae3d68c646a6b6" }, { "version": "0738eff14d817a02ab082c392c96a1613006f158", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "4f382cc887adca8478b9d3e6b81aa6698a95fff4" }, { "version": "0738eff14d817a02ab082c392c96a1613006f158", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "60463a1c138900494cb3adae41142a11cd8feb3c" }, { "version": "0738eff14d817a02ab082c392c96a1613006f158", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "a61ff7ac93270d20ca426c027d6d01c8ac8e904c" }, { "version": "0738eff14d817a02ab082c392c96a1613006f158", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "2e423e1990f3972cbea779883fef52c2f2acb858" }, { "version": "0738eff14d817a02ab082c392c96a1613006f158", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "de77841652e57afbc46e9e1dbf51ee364fc008e1" }, { "version": "0738eff14d817a02ab082c392c96a1613006f158", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "7f7b21026a6febdb749f6f6f950427245aa86cce" }, { "version": "0738eff14d817a02ab082c392c96a1613006f158", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "61da0bd4102c459823fbe6b8b43b01fb6ace4a22" } ] }, { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "versions": [ { "version": "4.4", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThan": "4.4" }, { "version": "5.4.300", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.4.*" }, { "version": "5.10.245", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*" }, { "version": "5.15.194", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*" }, { "version": "6.1.155", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*" }, { "version": "6.6.109", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*" }, { "version": "6.12.50", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*" }, { "version": "6.16.10", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.16.*" }, { "version": "6.17", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix", "lessThanOrEqual": "*" } ] } ] } } }
