In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: orangefs: fix xattr related buffer overflow... Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu> forwarded me a message from Disclosure <disclosure@aisle.com> 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.

    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that     may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information     leaks.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     5.10.247-1.  This version additionally includes many more bug fixes     from stable updates 5.10.245-5.10.247.  The broken pktcdvd driver has     also been disabled.

    We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.

    For the detailed security status of linux please refer to     its security tracker page at:

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

An update of the linux package has been released.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - orangefs: fix xattr related buffer overflow... Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu> forwarded me a message from     Disclosure <disclosure@aisle.com> 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. (CVE-2025-40306)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
