Detail

The (1) real_lookup and (2) __lookup_hash functions in fs/namei.c in the vfs implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.25.15 do not prevent creation of a child dentry for a deleted (aka S_DEAD) directory, which allows local users to cause a denial of service ("overflow" of the UBIFS orphan area) via a series of attempted file creations within deleted directories.

Title: DSA-1630 linux-2.6 -- denial of service/information leak
Description: Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service or arbitrary code execution. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: Dirk Nehring discovered a vulnerability in the IPsec code that allows remote users to cause a denial of service by sending a specially crafted ESP packet. Tavis Ormandy discovered a vulnerability that allows local users to access uninitialised kernel memory, possibly leaking sensitive data. This issue is specific to the amd64-flavour kernel images. Andi Kleen discovered an issue where uninitialised kernel memory was being leaked to userspace during an exception. This issue may allow local users to gain access to sensitive data. Only the amd64-flavour Debian kernel images are affected. Alan Cox discovered an issue in multiple tty drivers that allows local users to trigger a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) and possibly obtain elevated privileges. Gabriel Campana discovered an integer overflow in the sctp code that can be exploited by local users to cause a denial of service. Miklos Szeredi reported a missing privilege check in the do_change_type() function. This allows local, unprivileged users to change the properties of mount points. Tobias Klein reported a locally exploitable data leak in the snd_seq_oss_synth_make_info() function. This may allow local users to gain access to sensitive information. Zoltan Sogor discovered a coding error in the VFS that allows local users to exploit a kernel memory leak resulting in a denial of service.
