    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    orangefs: fix xattr related buffer overflow...

    Willy Tarreau <[email protected]> forwarded me a message from
    Disclosure <[email protected]> with the following
    warning:

    > The helper `xattr_key()` uses the pointer variable in the loop condition
    > rather than dereferencing it. As `key` is incremented, it remains non-NULL
    > (until it runs into unmapped memory), so the loop does not terminate on
    > valid C strings and will walk memory indefinitely, consuming CPU or hanging
    > the thread.

    I easily reproduced this with setfattr and getfattr, causing a kernel
    oops, hung user processes and corrupted orangefs files. Disclosure
    sent along a diff (not a patch) with a suggested fix, which I based
    this patch on.

    After xattr_key started working right, xfstest generic/069 exposed an
    xattr related memory leak that lead to OOM. xattr_key returns
    a hashed key.  When adding xattrs to the orangefs xattr cache, orangefs
    used hash_add, a kernel hashing macro. hash_add also hashes the key using
    hash_log which resulted in additions to the xattr cache going to the wrong
    hash bucket. generic/069 tortures a single file and orangefs does a
    getattr for the xattr security.capability every time. Orangefs
    negative caches on xattrs which includes a kmalloc. Since adds to the
    xattr cache were going to the wrong bucket, every getattr for
    security.capability resulted in another kmalloc, none of which were
    ever freed.

    I changed the two uses of hash_add to hlist_add_head instead
    and the memory leak ceased and generic/069 quit throwing furniture.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
