Vigil@nce - Linux kernel: spoofing Netlink messages

March 2015 by Vigil@nce

This bulletin was written by Vigil@nce : http://vigilance.fr/offer

SYNTHESIS OF THE VULNERABILITY

A local attacker can send a fake Netlink message, in order to
deceive an application.

 Impacted products: Linux
 Severity: 1/4
 Creation date: 27/02/2015

DESCRIPTION OF THE VULNERABILITY

A process can send asynchronous Netlink messages to another
process.

However, only the kernel or root (uid = 0) should be allowed to
send such messages.

A local attacker can therefore send a fake Netlink message, in
order to deceive an application.
