Description Dhananjay Arunesh 2019-10-03 16:49:09 UTC 
A vulnerability was found in base_sock_create in drivers/isdn/mISDN/socket.c in the AF_ISDN network module in the Linux kernel does not enforce CAP_NET_RAW, which means that unprivileged users can create a raw socket.

Comment 1 Dhananjay Arunesh 2019-10-03 16:50:00 UTC 
Created kernel tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1758249]
Comment 2 Fedora Update System 2019-10-25 18:06:53 UTC 
kernel-5.3.6-100.fc29, kernel-headers-5.3.6-100.fc29, kernel-tools-5.3.6-100.fc29 has been pushed to the Fedora 29 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
Comment 7 Wade Mealing 2019-12-04 03:41:15 UTC 
It -may- be possible that a local user can use this to directly control attached ISDN hardware, hanging up the connection or redialing long distance/high fee numbers incurring large fees to the telephony systems.
Comment 8 Eric Christensen 2019-12-05 18:30:53 UTC 
Mitigation:

At this time the only known way to 'mitigate' this flaw is to blacklist the kernel module from being loaded. Creating raw sockets with this protocol is a method of communicating with ISDN hardware, a technology that is becoming less and less common.

Check https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for instructions on how to disable the mISDN_core.ko module.
