NASL family Debian Local Security Checks NASL id DEBIAN_DSA-442.NASL description Several security related problems have been fixed in the Linux kernel 2.4.17 used for the S/390 architecture, mostly by backporting fixes from 2.4.18 and incorporating recent security fixes. The corrections are listed below with the identification from the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project : - CVE-2002-0429 : The iBCS routines in arch/i386/kernel/traps.c for Linux kernels 2.4.18 and earlier on x86 systems allow local users to kill arbitrary processes via a binary compatibility interface (lcall). - CAN-2003-0001 : Multiple ethernet network interface card (NIC) device drivers do not pad frames with null bytes, which allows remote attackers to obtain information from previous packets or kernel memory by using malformed packets, as demonstrated by Etherleak. - CAN-2003-0244 : The route cache implementation in Linux 2.4, and the Netfilter IP conntrack module, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via packets with forged source addresses that cause a large number of hash table collisions related to the PREROUTING chain. - CAN-2003-0246 : The ioperm system call in Linux kernel 2.4.20 and earlier does not properly restrict privileges, which allows local users to gain read or write access to certain I/O ports. - CAN-2003-0247 : A vulnerability in the TTY layer of the Linux kernel 2.4 allows attackers to cause a denial of service ( last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 15279 published 2004-09-29 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2004-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/15279 title Debian DSA-442-1 : linux-kernel-2.4.17-s390 - several vulnerabilities code #%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 80502 # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from Debian Security Advisory DSA-442.

As well, a number of bug fixes were made in the 9.1 kernel including : - Support for more machines that did not work with APIC - Audigy2 support - New/updated modules: prims25, adiusbadsl, thinkpad, ieee1394, orinoco, via-rhine, - Fixed SiS IOAPIC - IRQ balancing has been fixed for SMP - Updates to ext3 - The previous ptrace fix has been redone to work better - Bugs with compiling kernels using xconfig have been fixed - Problems with ipsec have been corrected - XFS ACLs are now present - gdb not working on XFS root filesystems has been fixed MandrakeSoft encourages all users to upgrade to these new kernels. Updated kernels will be available shortly for other supported platforms and architectures. For full instructions on how to properly upgrade your kernel, please review http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/magic.php. Update : The kernels provided in MDKSA-2003:066-1 (2.4.21-0.24mdk) had a problem where all files created on any filesystem other than XFS, and using any kernel other than kernel-secure, would be created with mode 0666, or world writeable. The 0.24mdk kernels have been removed from the mirrors and users are encouraged to upgrade and remove those kernels from their systems to prevent accidentally booting into them. That issue has been addressed and fixed with these new kernels. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 14049 published 2004-07-31 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2004-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/14049 title Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : kernel (MDKSA-2003:066-2) NASL family Debian Local Security Checks NASL id DEBIAN_DSA-336.NASL description A number of vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel. - CAN-2002-1380: Linux kernel 2.2.x allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by using the mmap() function with a PROT_READ parameter to access non-readable memory pages through the /proc/pid/mem interface. - CVE-2002-0429: The iBCS routines in arch/i386/kernel/traps.c for Linux kernels 2.4.18 and earlier on x86 systems allow local users to kill arbitrary processes via a binary compatibility interface (lcall) - CAN-2003-0001: Multiple ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) device drivers do not pad frames with null bytes, which allows remote attackers to obtain information from previous packets or kernel memory by using malformed packets - CAN-2003-0127: The kernel module loader allows local users to gain root privileges by using ptrace to attach to a child process that is spawned by the kernel - CAN-2003-0244: The route cache implementation in Linux 2.4, and the Netfilter IP conntrack module, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via packets with forged source addresses that cause a large number of hash table collisions related to the PREROUTING chain - CAN-2003-0246: The ioperm system call in Linux kernel 2.4.20 and earlier does not properly restrict privileges, which allows local users to gain read or write access to certain I/O ports. - CAN-2003-0247: vulnerability in the TTY layer of the Linux kernel 2.4 allows attackers to cause a denial of service ( last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 15173 published 2004-09-29 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2004-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/15173 title Debian DSA-336-1 : linux-kernel-2.2.20 - several vulnerabilities NASL family Red Hat Local Security Checks NASL id REDHAT-RHSA-2003-195.NASL description Updated kernel packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux are now available which address several security vulnerabilities. The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system. Several security issues have been found that affect the Linux kernel : Al Viro found a security issue in the tty layer whereby any user could cause a kernel oops. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2003-0247 to this issue. Andrea Arcangeli found an issue in the low-level mxcsr code in which a malformed address would leave garbage in cpu state registers. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2003-0248 to this issue. The TCP/IP fragment reassembly handling allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via packets that cause a large number of hash table collisions, a vulnerability similar to CVE-2003-0244. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2003-0364 to this issue. These kernels also contain updated fixes for the ioperm security issue, as well as fixes for a number of bugs. It is recommended that users upgrade to these erratum kernels, which contain patches to correct these vulnerabilities. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 12401 published 2004-07-06 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2004-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/12401 title RHEL 2.1 : kernel (RHSA-2003:195) NASL family Debian Local Security Checks NASL id DEBIAN_DSA-332.NASL description A number of vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel. - CVE-2002-0429: The iBCS routines in arch/i386/kernel/traps.c for Linux kernels 2.4.18 and earlier on x86 systems allow local users to kill arbitrary processes via a binary compatibility interface (lcall) - CAN-2003-0001: Multiple ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) device drivers do not pad frames with null bytes, which allows remote attackers to obtain information from previous packets or kernel memory by using malformed packets - CAN-2003-0127: The kernel module loader allows local users to gain root privileges by using ptrace to attach to a child process that is spawned by the kernel - CAN-2003-0244: The route cache implementation in Linux 2.4, and the Netfilter IP conntrack module, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via packets with forged source addresses that cause a large number of hash table collisions related to the PREROUTING chain - CAN-2003-0246: The ioperm system call in Linux kernel 2.4.20 and earlier does not properly restrict privileges, which allows local users to gain read or write access to certain I/O ports. - CAN-2003-0247: vulnerability in the TTY layer of the Linux kernel 2.4 allows attackers to cause a denial of service ( last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 15169 published 2004-09-29 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2004-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/15169 title Debian DSA-332-1 : linux-kernel-2.4.17 - several vulnerabilities
