Descriptions

net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c in the Linux kernel through 4.12.3, when CONFIG_XFRM_MIGRATE is enabled, does not ensure that the dir value of xfrm_userpolicy_id is XFRM_POLICY_MAX or less, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via an XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE xfrm Netlink message.

net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c en el kernel de Linux hasta la versión 4.12.3, cuando se habilita CONFIG_XFRM_MIGRATE, no asegura que el valor dir de xfrm_userpolicy_id sea XFRM_POLICY_MAX o inferior, lo que permite que los usuarios locales provoquen una denegación de servicio (acceso fuera de límites) o, probablemente, causen otros impactos no especificados mediante un mensaje XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE xfrm Netlink.

The xfrm_migrate() function in the net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c file in the Linux kernel built with CONFIG_XFRM_MIGRATE does not verify if the dir parameter is less than XFRM_POLICY_MAX. This allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds access) or possibly have unspecified other impact by sending a XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE netlink message. This flaw is present in the Linux kernel since an introduction of XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE in 2.6.21-rc1, up to 4.13-rc3.
