An exploitable memory corruption flaw was found in the Linux kernel. The append path can be erroneously switched from UFO to non-UFO in ip_ufo_append_data() when building an UFO packet with MSG_MORE option. If unprivileged user namespaces are available, this flaw can be exploited to gain root privileges.

Description Andrej Nemec 2017-08-08 06:49:42 EDT 
A memory corruption issue was found in the Linux kernel. 

When building a UFO packet with MSG_MORE __ip_append_data() calls
ip_ufo_append_data() to append. However in between two send() calls,
the append path can be switched from UFO to non-UFO one, which leads
to a memory corruption.

In case UFO packet lengths exceeds MTU, copy = maxfraglen - skb->len
becomes negative on the non-UFO path and the branch to allocate new
skb is taken. This triggers fragmentation and computation of fraggap =
skb_prev->len - maxfraglen. Fraggap can exceed MTU, causing copy =
datalen - transhdrlen - fraggap to become negative. Subsequently
skb_copy_and_csum_bits() writes out-of-bounds.

Created kernel tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1480465]
Comment 5 Wade Mealing 2017-08-14 23:57:19 EDT 
Statement:

This issue affects the Linux kernel packages as shipped with Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5,6, 7 and MRG-2.

Future Linux kernel updates for the respective releases may address this issue.
Comment 7 Wade Mealing 2017-08-15 01:20:50 EDT 
Additional information:

This mainly affects systems that have UFO (UDP fragment offload) enabled.

You can see if this is configured on or off with the ethool command:

# ethtool -k em1 |grep "udp-fragmentation-offload:"

udp-fragmentation-offload: off [fixed]


If enabled, disabling the UDP fragementation offload will mitigate this flaw and is documented in this solution: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2127401
