Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-1491-01
Posted Dec 4, 2012
Authored by Red Hat | Site access.redhat.com

Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-1491-01 - The kernel-rt packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. A flaw was found in the way Netlink messages without SCM_CREDENTIALS data set were handled. When not explicitly set, the data was sent but with all values set to 0, including the process ID and user ID, causing the Netlink message to appear as if it were sent with root privileges. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to send spoofed Netlink messages to an application, possibly resulting in the application performing privileged operations if it relied on SCM_CREDENTIALS data for the authentication of Netlink messages.
