The ROSE protocol implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 does not verify that certain data-length values are consistent with the amount of data sent, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via crafted data to a ROSE socket.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Linux kernel flaw in the ROSE networking protocol. If a system exposes ROSE sockets on a kernel before 2.6.39, malformed input could disclose kernel memory or crash the affected path. Business urgency depends on whether ROSE is enabled or reachable, which is often uncommon but must be verified. Likely limited to legacy Linux systems before 2.6.39, or vendor kernels without the backported fix, where ROSE protocol support is present and reachable. Treat as a targeted legacy-kernel cleanup item unless ROSE is enabled on exposed systems. Escalate if affected kernels support business-critical or untrusted-network services. Mitigation focus: Upgrade to Linux 2.6.39 or a vendor kernel containing the upstream ROSE fix.; Check vendor advisories for backported fixes on supported enterprise kernels.; Disable or restrict ROSE protocol support where it is not operationally required..
