    descriptionUpdated kernel packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. This update 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. This advisory includes fixes for several security issues : iSEC Security Research discovered multiple vulnerabilities in the IGMP functionality. These flaws could allow a local user to cause a denial of service (crash) or potentially gain privileges. Where multicast applications are being used on a system, these flaws may also allow remote users to cause a denial of service. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-1137 to this issue. iSEC Security Research discovered a flaw in the page fault handler code that could lead to local users gaining elevated (root) privileges on multiprocessor machines. (CVE-2005-0001) iSEC Security Research discovered a VMA handling flaw in the uselib(2) system call of the Linux kernel. A local user could make use of this flaw to gain elevated (root) privileges. (CVE-2004-1235) A flaw affecting the OUTS instruction on the AMD64 and Intel EM64T architecture was discovered. A local user could use this flaw to write to privileged IO ports. (CVE-2005-0204) The Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) driver in Linux kernel 2.6 does not properly check the DMA lock, which could allow remote attackers or local users to cause a denial of service (X Server crash) or possibly modify the video output. (CVE-2004-1056) OGAWA Hirofumi discovered incorrect tables sizes being used in the filesystem Native Language Support ASCII translation table. This could lead to a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2005-0177) Michael Kerrisk discovered a flaw in the 2.6.9 kernel which allows users to unlock arbitrary shared memory segments. This flaw could lead to applications not behaving as expected. (CVE-2005-0176) Improvements in the POSIX signal and tty standards compliance exposed a race condition. This flaw can be triggered accidentally by threaded applications or deliberately by a malicious user and can result in a denial of service (crash) or in occasional cases give access to a small random chunk of kernel memory. (CVE-2005-0178) The PaX team discovered a flaw in mlockall introduced in the 2.6.9 kernel. An unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service (CPU and memory consumption or crash). (CVE-2005-0179) Brad Spengler discovered multiple flaws in sg_scsi_ioctl in the 2.6 kernel. An unprivileged user may be able to use this flaw to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly other actions. (CVE-2005-0180) Kirill Korotaev discovered a missing access check regression in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 kernel 4GB/4GB split patch. On systems using the hugemem kernel, a local unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service (crash). (CVE-2005-0090) A flaw in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 kernel 4GB/4GB split patch can allow syscalls to read and write arbitrary kernel memory. On systems using the hugemem kernel, a local unprivileged user could use this flaw to gain privileges. (CVE-2005-0091) An additional flaw in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 kernel 4GB/4GB split patch was discovered. On x86 systems using the hugemem kernel, a local unprivileged user may be able to use this flaw to cause a denial of service (crash). (CVE-2005-0092) All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 users are advised to upgrade their kernels to the packages associated with their machine architectures and configurations as listed in this erratum.

    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()

    "Updated 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()'ed data for file system update. (BZ 147969)
    
    Note: The kernel-unsupported package contains various drivers and
    modules that are unsupported and therefore might contain security
    problems that have not been addressed.
    
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 users are advised to upgrade their kernels
    to the packages associated with their machine
    architectures/configurations
    
    Please note that the fix for CVE-2005-0449 required changing the
    external symbol linkages (kernel module ABI) for the ip_defrag() and
    ip_ct_gather_frags() functions. Any third-party module using either of
    these would also need to be fixed."

titleMultiple integer signedness errors in the sg_scsi_ioctl function in scsi_ioctl.c for Linux 2.6.x allow local users to read or modify kernel memory via negative integers in arguments to the scsi ioctl, which bypass a maximum length check before calling the copy_from_user and copy_to_user functions.
