CVE-2011-4913
7.8 · HIGHOverview
CVE-2011-4913 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting novell suse_linux_enterprise_server. It was published on June 21, 2012 and has a CVSS 2.0 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).
This vulnerability has a CVSS 2.0 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.
Technical Description
The rose_parse_ccitt function in net/rose/rose_subr.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 does not validate the FAC_CCITT_DEST_NSAP and FAC_CCITT_SRC_NSAP fields, which allows remote attackers to (1) cause a denial of service (integer underflow, heap memory corruption, and panic) via a small length value in data sent to a ROSE socket, or (2) conduct stack-based buffer overflow attacks via a large length value in data sent to a ROSE socket.
Remediation
Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from novell. Update suse_linux_enterprise_server to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
