Hello,

Anybody have tested exploit for Linux kernel 2.4/2.6 sock_sendpage() on OpenVZ kernel in CentOS 5.X, it's vulnerable?

RHEL/CentOS has updated kernel to 2.6.18-128.7.1.el5 with no vulnerable.

Well, according opennet.ru we have also this sploit:

http://www.risesecurity.org/entry/illustrating-linux-sock_se ndpage-null-pointer/

and this:

http://grsecurity.net/~spender/wunderbar_emporium.tgz

Due lack of phys. access to my servers I can't check it now, but
changelog http://wiki.openvz.org/Download/kernel/rhel5/028stab064.4
don't have any notes about fixing CVE-2009-2692

Make it for hotfix:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5

Add the following entries to the end of the /etc/modprobe.conf file:


install pppox /bin/true
install bluetooth /bin/true
install sctp /bin/true


The sctp module cannot be unloaded from a running kernel if the module is already loaded; therefore, the above changes for /etc/modprobe.conf on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5 require a reboot to take effect.

Another point. According buzilla and changelog 2.6.18-128.7.1 fix also other bad thing (CVE-2009-2698). So this update imho is urgent.

But 2.6.18-128.7.1 from RHEL/CentOS repo is supported to use OpenVZ?

No, certainly no.

As another solution except waiting new openvz release - get from redhat/centos src.rpm necessary patches and recompile openvz kernel with them.
