There is user data corruption when using ioctl(SIOCGIFCONF) in 32-bit
application running amd64 kernel. I do not think that this problem is
exploitable, but any data corruption may lead to security problems.
Following code demonstrates the problem
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <net/if.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
char buf[256];
main()
{
int s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
struct ifconf req;
int i;
req.ifc_buf = buf;
req.ifc_len = 41;
printf("Result %d\n", ioctl(s, SIOCGIFCONF, &req));
printf("Len %d\n", req.ifc_len);
for (i = 41; i < 256; i++)
if (buf[i] != 0)
printf("Byte %d is corrupted\n", i);
}
Steps to reproduce:
Compile the code above into 32-bit elf and run it. You'll get
Result 0
Len 32
Byte 48 is corrupted
Byte 52 is corrupted
Byte 53 is corrupted
Byte 54 is corrupted
Byte 55 is corrupted
