    descriptionUpdated kernel packages that fix several security issues in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 are now available. The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system. This update includes fixes for several security issues : A missing serialization flaw in unix_dgram_recvmsg was discovered that affects kernels prior to 2.4.28. A local user could potentially make use of a race condition in order to gain privileges. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-1068 to this issue. Paul Starzetz of iSEC discovered various flaws in the ELF binary loader affecting kernels prior to 2.4.28. A local user could use thse flaws to gain read access to executable-only binaries or possibly gain privileges. (CVE-2004-1070, CVE-2004-1071, CVE-2004-1072, CVE-2004-1073) A flaw when setting up TSS limits was discovered that affects AMD AMD64 and Intel EM64T architecture kernels prior to 2.4.23. A local user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly gain privileges. (CVE-2004-0812) An integer overflow flaw was discovered in the ubsec_keysetup function in the Broadcom 5820 cryptonet driver. On systems using this driver, a local user could cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2004-0619) Stefan Esser discovered various flaws including buffer overflows in the smbfs driver affecting kernels prior to 2.4.28. A local user may be able to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly gain privileges. In order to exploit these flaws the user would require control of a connected Samba server. (CVE-2004-0883, CVE-2004-0949) SGI discovered a bug in the elf loader that affects kernels prior to 2.4.25 which could be triggered by a malformed binary. On architectures other than x86, a local user could create a malicious binary which could cause a denial of service (crash). (CVE-2004-0136) Conectiva discovered flaws in certain USB drivers affecting kernels prior to 2.4.27 which used the copy_to_user function on uninitialized structures. These flaws could allow local users to read small amounts of kernel memory. (CVE-2004-0685) All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 users are advised to upgrade their kernels to the packages associated with their machine architectures and configurations as listed in this erratum.

    descriptionSome vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux 2.6 kernel : When SELinux hooks are enabled, the kernel could allow a local user to cause a DoS (crash) via a malformed file stream that triggers a NULL pointer derefernece (CVE-2006-6056). Multiple buffer overflows in the (1) read and (2) write handlers in the Omnikey CardMan 4040 driver in the Linux kernel before 2.6.21-rc3 allow local users to gain privileges. (CVE-2007-0005) The Linux kernel version 2.6.13 to 2.6.20.1 allowed a remote attacker to cause a DoS (oops) via a crafted NFSACL2 ACCESS request that triggered a free of an incorrect pointer (CVE-2007-0772). A local user could read unreadable binaries by using the interpreter (PT_INTERP) functionality and triggering a core dump; a variant of CVE-2004-1073 (CVE-2007-0958). The ipv6_getsockopt_sticky function in net/ipv6/ipv6_sockglue.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.20.2 allows local users to read arbitrary kernel memory via certain getsockopt calls that trigger a NULL dereference. (CVE-2007-1000) Buffer overflow in the bufprint function in capiutil.c in libcapi, as used in Linux kernel 2.6.9 to 2.6.20 and isdn4k-utils, allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly gain privileges via a crafted CAPI packet. (CVE-2007-1217) The do_ipv6_setsockopt function in net/ipv6/ipv6_sockglue.c in Linux kernel 2.6.17, and possibly other versions, allows local users to cause a denial of service (oops) by calling setsockopt with the IPV6_RTHDR option name and possibly a zero option length or invalid option value, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference. (CVE-2007-1388) net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c in Linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6.x up to 2.6.21-rc3 inadvertently copies the ipv6_fl_socklist from a listening TCP socket to child sockets, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) or double-free by opening a listeing IPv6 socket, attaching a flow label, and connecting to that socket. (CVE-2007-1592) The provided packages are patched to fix these vulnerabilities. All users are encouraged to upgrade to these updated kernels immediately and reboot to effect the fixes. In addition to these security fixes, other fixes have been included such as : - Suspend to disk speed improvements - Add nmi watchdog support for core2 - Add atl1 driver - Update KVM - Add acer_acpi - Update asus_acpi - Fix suspend on r8169, i8259A - Fix suspend when using ondemand governor - Add ide acpi support - Add suspend/resume support for sata_nv chipsets. - USB: Let USB-Serial option driver handle anydata devices (#29066) - USB: Add PlayStation 2 Trance Vibrator driver - Fix bogus delay loop in video/aty/mach64_ct.c - Add MCP61 support (#29398) - USB: fix floppy drive SAMSUNG SFD-321U/EP detected 8 times bug - Improve keyboard handling on Apple MacBooks - Add -latest patch - Workaround a possible binutils bug in smp alternatives - Add forcedeth support - Fix potential deadlock in driver core (USB hangs at boot time #24683) To update your kernel, please follow the directions located at : http://www.mandriva.com/en/security/kernelupdate

    used in Linux kernel 2.6.9 to 2.6.20 and isdn4k-utils, allows local
    users to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly gain
    privileges via a crafted CAPI packet. (CVE-2007-1217)
    
    The do_ipv6_setsockopt function in net/ipv6/ipv6_sockglue.c in Linux
    kernel 2.6.17, and possibly other versions, allows local users to
    cause a denial of service (oops) by calling setsockopt with the
    IPV6_RTHDR option name and possibly a zero option length or invalid
    option value, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference.
    (CVE-2007-1388)
    
    net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c in Linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6.x up to 2.6.21-rc3
    inadvertently copies the ipv6_fl_socklist from a listening TCP socket
    to child sockets, which allows local users to cause a denial of
    service (OOPS) or double-free by opening a listeing IPv6 socket,
    attaching a flow label, and connecting to that socket. (CVE-2007-1592)

    descriptionSeveral local and remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems : - CVE-2007-0005 Daniel Roethlisberger discovered two buffer overflows in the cm4040 driver for the Omnikey CardMan 4040 device. A local user or malicious device could exploit this to execute arbitrary code in kernel space. - CVE-2007-0958 Santosh Eraniose reported a vulnerability that allows local users to read otherwise unreadable files by triggering a core dump while using PT_INTERP. This is related to CVE-2004-1073. - CVE-2007-1357 Jean Delvare reported a vulnerability in the appletalk subsystem. Systems with the appletalk module loaded can be triggered to crash by other systems on the local network via a malformed frame. - CVE-2007-1592 Masayuki Nakagawa discovered that flow labels were inadvertently being shared between listening sockets and child sockets. This defect can be exploited by local users to cause a DoS (Oops).

    descriptionUpdated kernel packages that fix several security issues in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 kernel are now available. This security advisory has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system. The following security issues were fixed : The Vicam USB driver did not use the copy_from_user function to access userspace, crossing security boundaries. (CVE-2004-0075) The ext3 and jfs code did not properly initialize journal descriptor blocks. A privileged local user could read portions of kernel memory. (CVE-2004-0177) The terminal layer did not properly lock line discipline changes or pending IO. An unprivileged local user could read portions of kernel memory, or cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2004-0814) A race condition was discovered. Local users could use this flaw to read the environment variables of another process that is still spawning via /proc/.../cmdline. (CVE-2004-1058) A flaw in the execve() syscall handling was discovered, allowing a local user to read setuid ELF binaries that should otherwise be protected by standard permissions. (CVE-2004-1073). Red Hat originally reported this as being fixed by RHSA-2004:549, but the associated fix was missing from that update. Keith Owens reported a flaw in the Itanium unw_unwind_to_user() function. A local user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash) on the Itanium architecture. (CVE-2005-0135) A missing Itanium syscall table entry could allow an unprivileged local user to cause a denial of service (system crash) on the Itanium architecture. (CVE-2005-0137) A flaw affecting the OUTS instruction on the AMD64 and Intel EM64T architectures was discovered. A local user could use this flaw to access privileged IO ports. (CVE-2005-0204) A flaw was discovered in the Linux PPP driver. On systems allowing remote users to connect to a server using ppp, a remote client could cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2005-0384) A flaw in the Red Hat backport of NPTL to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 was discovered that left a pointer to a freed tty structure. A local user could potentially use this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly gain read or write access to ttys that should normally be prevented. (CVE-2005-0403) A flaw in fragment queuing was discovered affecting the netfilter subsystem. On systems configured to filter or process network packets (for example those configured to do firewalling), a remote attacker could send a carefully crafted set of fragmented packets to a machine and cause a denial of service (system crash). In order to sucessfully exploit this flaw, the attacker would need to know (or guess) some aspects of the firewall ruleset in place on the target system to be able to craft the right fragmented packets. (CVE-2005-0449) Missing validation of an epoll_wait() system call parameter could allow a local user to cause a denial of service (system crash) on the IBM S/390 and zSeries architectures. (CVE-2005-0736) A flaw when freeing a pointer in load_elf_library was discovered. A local user could potentially use this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2005-0749) A flaw was discovered in the bluetooth driver system. On system where the bluetooth modules are loaded, a local user could use this flaw to gain elevated (root) privileges. (CVE-2005-0750) In addition to the security issues listed above, there was an important fix made to the handling of the msync() system call for a particular case in which the call could return without queuing modified mmap()

    descriptionUpdated kernel packages are now available as part of ongoing support and maintenance of Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 2.1. This is the sixth regular update. The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system. This is the sixth regular kernel update to Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 2.1. It updates a number of device drivers, and adds much improved SATA support. This update includes fixes for several security issues : Paul Starzetz of iSEC discovered various flaws in the ELF binary loader affecting kernels prior to 2.4.28. A local user could use these flaws to gain read access to executable-only binaries or possibly gain privileges. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CVE-2004-1070, CVE-2004-1071, CVE-2004-1072, and CVE-2004-1073 to these issues. A missing serialization flaw in unix_dgram_recvmsg was discovered that affects kernels prior to 2.4.28. A local user could potentially make use of a race condition in order to gain privileges. (CVE-2004-1068) Stefan Esser discovered various flaws including buffer overflows in the smbfs driver affecting kernels before 2.4.28. A local user may be able to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly gain privileges. In order to exploit these flaws the user would need to have control of a connected smb server. (CVE-2004-0883, CVE-2004-0949) Conectiva discovered flaws in certain USB drivers affecting kernels before 2.4.27 which used the copy_to_user function on uninitialized structures. These flaws could allow local users to read small amounts of kernel memory. (CVE-2004-0685) The ext3 code in kernels before 2.4.26 did not properly initialize journal descriptor blocks. A privileged local user could read portions of kernel memory. (CVE-2004-0177) The following drivers have also been updated : * tg3 v3.10 * e1000 v5.3.19-k2 * e100 v3.0.27-k2 * megaraid * megaraid2 v2.10.8.2 All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 users are advised to upgrade their kernels to the packages associated with their machine architectures and configurations as listed in this erratum.

    NASL idCENTOS_RHSA-2005-293.NASL
    descriptionUpdated kernel packages that fix several security issues in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 kernel are now available. This security advisory has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system. The following security issues were fixed : The Vicam USB driver did not use the copy_from_user function to access userspace, crossing security boundaries. (CVE-2004-0075) The ext3 and jfs code did not properly initialize journal descriptor blocks. A privileged local user could read portions of kernel memory. (CVE-2004-0177) The terminal layer did not properly lock line discipline changes or pending IO. An unprivileged local user could read portions of kernel memory, or cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2004-0814) A race condition was discovered. Local users could use this flaw to read the environment variables of another process that is still spawning via /proc/.../cmdline. (CVE-2004-1058) A flaw in the execve() syscall handling was discovered, allowing a local user to read setuid ELF binaries that should otherwise be protected by standard permissions. (CVE-2004-1073). Red Hat originally reported this as being fixed by RHSA-2004:549, but the associated fix was missing from that update. Keith Owens reported a flaw in the Itanium unw_unwind_to_user() function. A local user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash) on the Itanium architecture. (CVE-2005-0135) A missing Itanium syscall table entry could allow an unprivileged local user to cause a denial of service (system crash) on the Itanium architecture. (CVE-2005-0137) A flaw affecting the OUTS instruction on the AMD64 and Intel EM64T architectures was discovered. A local user could use this flaw to access privileged IO ports. (CVE-2005-0204) A flaw was discovered in the Linux PPP driver. On systems allowing remote users to connect to a server using ppp, a remote client could cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2005-0384) A flaw in the Red Hat backport of NPTL to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 was discovered that left a pointer to a freed tty structure. A local user could potentially use this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly gain read or write access to ttys that should normally be prevented. (CVE-2005-0403) A flaw in fragment queuing was discovered affecting the netfilter subsystem. On systems configured to filter or process network packets (for example those configured to do firewalling), a remote attacker could send a carefully crafted set of fragmented packets to a machine and cause a denial of service (system crash). In order to sucessfully exploit this flaw, the attacker would need to know (or guess) some aspects of the firewall ruleset in place on the target system to be able to craft the right fragmented packets. (CVE-2005-0449) Missing validation of an epoll_wait() system call parameter could allow a local user to cause a denial of service (system crash) on the IBM S/390 and zSeries architectures. (CVE-2005-0736) A flaw when freeing a pointer in load_elf_library was discovered. A local user could potentially use this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2005-0749) A flaw was discovered in the bluetooth driver system. On system where the bluetooth modules are loaded, a local user could use this flaw to gain elevated (root) privileges. (CVE-2005-0750) In addition to the security issues listed above, there was an important fix made to the handling of the msync() system call for a particular case in which the call could return without queuing modified mmap()

    descriptionA number of vulnerabilities are fixed in the 2.4 and 2.6 kernels with this advisory : - Multiple race conditions in the terminal layer of 2.4 and 2.6 kernels (prior to 2.6.9) can allow a local attacker to obtain portions of kernel data or allow remote attackers to cause a kernel panic by switching from console to PPP line discipline, then quickly sending data that is received during the switch (CVE-2004-0814) - Richard Hart found an integer underflow problem in the iptables firewall logging rules that can allow a remote attacker to crash the machine by using a specially crafted IP packet. This is only possible, however, if firewalling is enabled. The problem only affects 2.6 kernels and was fixed upstream in 2.6.8 (CVE-2004-0816) - Stefan Esser found several remote DoS confitions in the smbfs file system. This could be exploited by a hostile SMB server (or an attacker injecting packets into the network) to crash the client systems (CVE-2004-0883 and CVE-2004-0949) - Paul Starzetz and Georgi Guninski reported, independently, that bad argument handling and bad integer arithmetics in the IPv4 sendmsg handling of control messages could lead to a local attacker crashing the machine. The fixes were done by Herbert Xu (CVE-2004-1016) - Rob Landley discovered a race condition in the handling of /proc/.../cmdline where, under rare circumstances, a user could read the environment variables of another process that was still spawning leading to the potential disclosure of sensitive information such as passwords (CVE-2004-1058) - Paul Starzetz reported that the missing serialization in unix_dgram_recvmsg() which was added to kernel 2.4.28 can be used by a local attacker to gain elevated (root) privileges (CVE-2004-1068) - Ross Kendall Axe discovered a possible kernel panic (DoS) while sending AF_UNIX network packets if certain SELinux-related kernel options were enabled. By default the CONFIG_SECURITY_NETWORK and CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX options are not enabled (CVE-2004-1069) - Paul Starzetz of isec.pl discovered several issues with the error handling of the ELF loader routines in the kernel. The fixes were provided by Chris Wright (CVE-2004-1070, CVE-2004-1071, CVE-2004-1072, CVE-2004-1073) - It was discovered that hand-crafted a.out binaries could be used to trigger a local DoS condition in both the 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. The fixes were done by Chris Wright (CVE-2004-1074) - Paul Starzetz found bad handling in the IGMP code which could lead to a local attacker being able to crash the machine. The fix was done by Chris Wright (CVE-2004-1137) - Jeremy Fitzhardinge discovered two buffer overflows in the sys32_ni_syscall() and sys32_vm86_warning() functions that could be used to overwrite kernel memory with attacker-supplied code resulting in privilege escalation (CVE-2004-1151) - Paul Starzetz found locally exploitable flaws in the binary format loader
