    "Several 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-2005-3359
        Franz Filz discovered that some socket calls permit
        causing inconsistent reference counts on loadable
        modules, which allows local users to cause a denial of
        service.
    
      - CVE-2006-0038
        'Solar Designer' discovered that arithmetic computations
        in netfilter's do_replace() function can lead to a
        buffer overflow and the execution of arbitrary code.
        However, the operation requires CAP_NET_ADMIN
        privileges, which is only an issue in virtualization
        systems or fine grained access control systems.
    
      - CVE-2006-0039
        'Solar Designer' discovered a race condition in
        netfilter's do_add_counters() function, which allows
        information disclosure of kernel memory by exploiting a
        race condition. Likewise, it requires CAP_NET_ADMIN
        privileges. 
    
      - CVE-2006-0456
        David Howells discovered that the s390 assembly version
        of the strnlen_user() function incorrectly returns some
        string size values.
    
      - CVE-2006-0554
        It was discovered that the ftruncate() function of XFS
        can expose unallocated blocks, which allows information
        disclosure of previously deleted files.
    
      - CVE-2006-0555
        It was discovered that some NFS file operations on
        handles mounted with O_DIRECT can force the kernel into
        a crash.
    
      - CVE-2006-0557
        It was discovered that the code to configure memory
        policies allows tricking the kernel into a crash, thus
        allowing denial of service.
    
      - CVE-2006-0558
        It was discovered by Cliff Wickman that perfmon for the
        IA64 architecture allows users to trigger a BUG()
        assert, which allows denial of service.
    
      - CVE-2006-0741
        Intel EM64T systems were discovered to be susceptible to
        a local DoS due to an endless recursive fault related to
        a bad ELF entry address.
    
      - CVE-2006-0742
        Alan and Gareth discovered that the ia64 platform had an
        incorrectly declared die_if_kernel() function as 'does
        never return' which could be exploited by a local
        attacker resulting in a kernel crash.
    
      - CVE-2006-0744
        The Linux kernel did not properly handle uncanonical
        return addresses on Intel EM64T CPUs, reporting
        exceptions in the SYSRET instead of the next
        instruction, causing the kernel exception handler to run
        on the user stack with the wrong GS. This may result in
        a DoS due to a local user changing the frames.
    
      - CVE-2006-1056
        AMD64 machines (and other 7th and 8th generation
        AuthenticAMD processors) were found to be vulnerable to
        sensitive information leakage, due to how they handle
        saving and restoring the FOP, FIP, and FDP x87 registers
        in FXSAVE/FXRSTOR when an exception is pending. This
        allows a process to determine portions of the state of
        floating point instructions of other processes.
    
      - CVE-2006-1242
        Marco Ivaldi discovered that there was an unintended
        information disclosure allowing remote attackers to
        bypass protections against Idle Scans (nmap -sI) by
        abusing the ID field of IP packets and bypassing the
        zero IP ID in DF packet countermeasure. This was a
        result of the ip_push_pending_frames function improperly
        incremented the IP ID field when sending a RST after
        receiving unsolicited TCP SYN-ACK packets.
    
      - CVE-2006-1368
        Shaun Tancheff discovered a buffer overflow (boundary
        condition error) in the USB Gadget RNDIS implementation
        allowing remote attackers to cause a DoS. While creating
        a reply message, the driver allocated memory for the
        reply data, but not for the reply structure. The kernel
        fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before
        copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer.
        Attackers could crash the system, or possibly execute
        arbitrary machine code.
    
      - CVE-2006-1523
        Oleg Nesterov reported an unsafe BUG_ON call in signal.c
        which was introduced by RCU signal handling. The BUG_ON
        code is protected by siglock while the code in
        switch_exit_pids() uses tasklist_lock. It may be
        possible for local users to exploit this to initiate a
        denial of service attack (DoS).
    
      - CVE-2006-1524
        Hugh Dickins discovered an issue in the madvise_remove()
        function wherein file and mmap restrictions are not
        followed, allowing local users to bypass IPC permissions
        and replace portions of readonly tmpfs files with
        zeroes.
    
      - CVE-2006-1525
        Alexandra Kossovsky reported a NULL pointer dereference
        condition in ip_route_input() that can be triggered by a
        local user by requesting a route for a multicast IP
        address, resulting in a denial of service (panic).
    
      - CVE-2006-1857
        Vlad Yasevich reported a data validation issue in the
        SCTP subsystem that may allow a remote user to overflow
        a buffer using a badly formatted HB-ACK chunk, resulting
        in a denial of service.
    
      - CVE-2006-1858
        Vlad Yasevich reported a bug in the bounds checking code
        in the SCTP subsystem that may allow a remote attacker
        to trigger a denial of service attack when rounded
        parameter lengths are used to calculate parameter
        lengths instead of the actual values.
    
      - CVE-2006-1863
        Mark Mosely discovered that chroots residing on an CIFS
        share can be escaped with specially crafted 'cd'
        sequences.
    
      - CVE-2006-1864
        Mark Mosely discovered that chroots residing on an SMB
        share can be escaped with specially crafted 'cd'
        sequences.
    
      - CVE-2006-2271
        The 'Mu security team' discovered that carefully crafted
        ECNE chunks can cause a kernel crash by accessing
        incorrect state stable entries in the SCTP networking
        subsystem, which allows denial of service.
    
      - CVE-2006-2272
        The 'Mu security team' discovered that fragmented SCTP
        control chunks can trigger kernel panics, which allows
        for denial of service attacks.
    
      - CVE-2006-2274
        It was discovered that SCTP packets with two initial
        bundled data packets can lead to infinite recursion,
        which allows for denial of service attacks."

    "The sys_mbind() function did not properly verify the validity of the
    'maxnod' argument. A local user could exploit this to trigger a buffer
    overflow, which caused a kernel crash. (CVE-2006-0557)
    
    The SELinux module did not correctly handle the tracer SID when a
    process was already being traced. A local attacker could exploit this
    to cause a kernel crash. (CVE-2006-1052)
    
    Al Viro discovered a local Denial of Service in the sysfs write buffer
    handling. By writing a block with a length exactly equal to the
    processor's page size to any writable file in /sys, a local attacker
    could cause a kernel crash. (CVE-2006-1055)
    
    John Blackwood discovered a race condition with single-step debugging
    multiple processes at the same time. A local attacker could exploit
    this to crash the system. This only affects the amd64 platform.
    (CVE-2006-1066)
    
    Marco Ivaldi discovered a flaw in the handling of the ID number of IP
    packets. This number was incremented after receiving unsolicited TCP
    SYN-ACK packets. A remote attacker could exploit this to conduct port
    scans with the 'Idle scan' method (nmap -sI), which bypassed intended
    port scan protections. (CVE-2006-1242)
    
    Pavel Kankovsky discovered that the getsockopt() function, when called
    with an SO_ORIGINAL_DST argument, does not properly clear the returned
    structure, so that a random piece of kernel memory is exposed to the
    user. This could potentially reveal sensitive data like passwords or
    encryption keys. (CVE-2006-1343)
    
    A buffer overflow was discovered in the USB Gadget RNDIS
    implementation. While creating a reply message, the driver did not
    allocate enough memory for the reply structure. A remote attacker
    could exploit this to cause a kernel crash. (CVE-2006-1368)
    
    Alexandra Kossovsky discovered an invalid memory access in the
    ip_route_input() function. By using the 'ip' command in a particular
    way to retrieve multicast routes, a local attacker could exploit this
    to crash the kernel. (CVE-2006-1525).

    descriptionA number of vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux 2.6 kernel : sysctl.c in the Linux kernel prior to 2.6.14.1 allows local users to cause a Denial of Service (kernel oops) and possibly execute code by opening an interface file in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/, waiting until the interface is unregistered, then obtaining and modifying function pointers in memory that was used for the ctl_table (CVE-2005-2709). Multiple vulnerabilities in versions prior to 2.6.13.2 allow local users to cause a DoS (oops from null dereference) via fput in a 32bit ioctl on 64-bit x86 systems or sockfd_put in the 32-bit routing_ioctl function on 64-bit systems (CVE-2005-3044). Note that this was previously partially corrected in MDKSA-2005:235. Prior to 2.6.14, the kernel
