The ldm_frag_add function in fs/partitions/ldm.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39.1 does not properly handle memory allocation for non-initial fragments, which might allow local users to conduct buffer overflow attacks, and gain privileges or obtain sensitive information, via a crafted LDM partition table. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2011-1017.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2011-2182 is an old Linux kernel flaw in LDM partition-table handling. A local user with a crafted LDM partition table might trigger a kernel buffer overflow, potentially gaining privileges or exposing sensitive information. The source record says the issue was fixed before Linux 2.6.39.1 and was an incomplete fix for CVE-2011-1017. Exposure is most plausible on legacy Linux systems running kernels before 2.6.39.1 or vendor kernels missing the backported fix. Systems that process user-controlled or removable disk images, block devices, or partition tables deserve closer review. The bundle does not identify specific distributions beyond Linux kernel references and an HP advisory. Prioritize remediation for legacy Linux estates and systems handling untrusted storage media. The issue is old and local, but kernel memory corruption with possible privilege gain is business-relevant where affected kernels remain in production. No active exploitation evidence is supplied in the bundle. Mitigation focus: Upgrade to Linux kernel 2.6.39.1 or a vendor kernel containing the fix.; Verify vendor backport status for CVE-2011-2182 or commit cae13fe4cc3f24820ffb990c09110626837e85d4.; Prioritize patching systems that parse untrusted disk images or removable media..
