From e40607cbe270a9e8360907cb1e62ddf0736e4864 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Borkmann Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2014 17:54:26 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] net: sctp: fix NULL pointer dereference in af->from_addr_param on malformed packet An SCTP server doing ASCONF will panic on malformed INIT ping-of-death in the form of: ------------ INIT[PARAM: SET_PRIMARY_IP] ------------> While the INIT chunk parameter verification dissects through many things in order to detect malformed input, it misses to actually check parameters inside of parameters. E.g. RFC5061, section 4.2.4 proposes a 'set primary IP address' parameter in ASCONF, which has as a subparameter an address parameter. So an attacker may send a parameter type other than SCTP_PARAM_IPV4_ADDRESS or SCTP_PARAM_IPV6_ADDRESS, param_type2af() will subsequently return 0 and thus sctp_get_af_specific() returns NULL, too, which we then happily dereference unconditionally through af->from_addr_param(). The trace for the log: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000078 IP: [] sctp_process_init+0x492/0x990 [sctp] PGD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP [...] Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64 #1 Bochs Bochs RIP: 0010:[] [] sctp_process_init+0x492/0x990 [sctp] [...] Call Trace: [] ? sctp_bind_addr_copy+0x5d/0xe0 [sctp] [] sctp_sf_do_5_1B_init+0x21b/0x340 [sctp] [] sctp_do_sm+0x71/0x1210 [sctp] [] ? sctp_endpoint_lookup_assoc+0xc9/0xf0 [sctp] [] sctp_endpoint_bh_rcv+0x116/0x230 [sctp] [] sctp_inq_push+0x56/0x80 [sctp] [] sctp_rcv+0x982/0xa10 [sctp] [] ? ipt_local_in_hook+0x23/0x28 [iptable_filter] [] ? nf_iterate+0x69/0xb0 [] ? ip_local_deliver_finish+0x0/0x2d0 [] ? nf_hook_slow+0x76/0x120 [] ? ip_local_deliver_finish+0x0/0x2d0 [...] A minimal way to address this is to check for NULL as we do on all other such occasions where we know sctp_get_af_specific() could possibly return with NULL.
