OpenBSD Kernel Multicast Routing U.Mem Info Disclosure
CVE-2021-35000 Published on May 7, 2024
OpenBSD Kernel Multicast Routing Uninitialized Memory Information Disclosure Vulnerability
OpenBSD Kernel Multicast Routing Uninitialized Memory Information Disclosure Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of OpenBSD Kernel. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the implementation of multicast routing. The issue results from the lack of proper initialization of memory prior to accessing it. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of the kernel.
. Was ZDI-CAN-16112.
Weakness Type
Use of Uninitialized Resource
The software uses or accesses a resource that has not been initialized. When a resource has not been properly initialized, the software may behave unexpectedly. This may lead to a crash or invalid memory access, but the consequences vary depending on the type of resource and how it is used within the software.
