    af_key: fix info leaks in notify messages

    key_notify_sa_flush() and key_notify_policy_flush() miss to initialize
    the sadb_msg_reserved member of the broadcasted message and thereby
    leak 2 bytes of heap memory to listeners. Fix that.

Comment 1 Tom Wijsman (TomWij) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-07-03 14:27:06 UTC
Present in 3.10; added to genpatches for 3.9.9, as it is not in stable queue.

CVE-2013-2234 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2013-2234):
  The (1) key_notify_sa_flush and (2) key_notify_policy_flush functions in
  net/key/af_key.c in the Linux kernel before 3.10 do not initialize certain
  structure members, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information
  from kernel heap memory by reading a broadcast message from the notify
  interface of an IPSec key_socket.
Comment 4 John Helmert III archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2022-03-25 15:24:59 UTC
Fix in 3.4.55 onward
