Openfabrics : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs,

OpenFabrics ibutils 1.5.7 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on (1) ibdiagnet.db, (2) ibdiagnet.fdbs, (3) ibdiagnet_ibis.log, (4) ibdiagnet.log, (5) ibdiagnet.lst, (6) ibdiagnet.mcfdbs, (7) ibdiagnet.pkey, (8) ibdiagnet.psl, (9) ibdiagnet.slvl, or (10) ibdiagnet.sm in /tmp/.

ibacm 1.0.7 creates files with world-writable permissions, which allows local users to overwrite the ib_acm daemon log or ibacm.port file.

ibacm before 1.0.6 does not properly manage reference counts for multicast connections, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (ibacm service crash) via a crafted join response.

librdmacm 1.0.16, when ibacm.port is not specified, connects to port 6125, which allows remote attackers to specify the address resolution information for the application via a malicious ib_acm service.

ulp/sdp/sdp_proc.c in the ib_sdp module (aka ib_sdp.ko) in the ofa_kernel package in the InfiniBand driver implementation in OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution (OFED) before 1.5.3 does not properly handle certain non-array variables, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (stack memory corruption and system crash) by reading the /proc/net/sdpstats file.

The default configuration of libsdp.conf in libsdp 1.1.104 and earlier creates log files in /tmp, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a (1) symlink or (2) hard link attack on the libsdp.log.##### temporary file.

openibd in OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution (OFED) 1.5.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/ib_set_node_desc.sh temporary file.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in a certain Red Hat build script for the ibmssh executable in ibutils packages before ibutils-1.5.7-2.el6 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 and ibutils-1.2-11.2.el5 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan Horse program in refix/lib/, related to an incorrect RPATH setting in the ELF header.
