    descriptionUpdated kernel packages that fix several security issues in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 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. These new kernel packages contain fixes for the security issues described below : * a flaw in the proc file system that allowed a local user to use a suid-wrapper for scripts to gain root privileges (CVE-2006-3626, Important) * a flaw in the SCTP implementation that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (panic) or to possibly gain root privileges (CVE-2006-3745, Important) * a flaw in NFS exported ext2/ext3 partitions when handling invalid inodes that allowed a remote authenticated user to cause a denial of service (filesystem panic) (CVE-2006-3468, Important) * a flaw in the restore_all code path of the 4/4GB split support of non-hugemem kernels that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (panic) (CVE-2006-2932, Important) * a flaw in IPv4 netfilter handling for the unlikely use of SNMP NAT processing that allowed a remote user to cause a denial of service (crash) or potential memory corruption (CVE-2006-2444, Moderate) * a flaw in the DVD handling of the CDROM driver that could be used together with a custom built USB device to gain root privileges (CVE-2006-2935, Moderate) * a flaw in the handling of O_DIRECT writes that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) (CVE-2004-2660, Low) * a flaw in the SCTP chunk length handling that allowed a remote user to cause a denial of service (crash) (CVE-2006-1858, Low) * a flaw in the input handling of the ftdi_sio driver that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) (CVE-2006-2936, Low) In addition a bugfix was added to enable a clean reboot for the IBM Pizzaro machines. Red Hat would like to thank Wei Wang of McAfee Avert Labs and Kirill Korotaev for reporting issues fixed in this erratum. 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.

    descriptionSeveral security related problems have been discovered in the Linux kernel which may lead to a denial of service or even the execution of arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems : - CVE-2005-4798 A buffer overflow in NFS readlink handling allows a malicious remote server to cause a denial of service. - CVE-2006-2935 Diego Calleja Garcia discovered a buffer overflow in the DVD handling code that could be exploited by a specially crafted DVD USB storage device to execute arbitrary code. - CVE-2006-1528 A bug in the SCSI driver allows a local user to cause a denial of service. - CVE-2006-2444 Patrick McHardy discovered a bug in the SNMP NAT helper that allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service. - CVE-2006-2446 A race condition in the socket buffer handling allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service. - CVE-2006-3745 Wei Wang discovered a bug in the SCTP implementation that allows local users to cause a denial of service and possibly gain root privileges. - CVE-2006-4535 David Miller reported a problem with the fix for CVE-2006-3745 that allows local users to crash the system via an SCTP socket with a certain SO_LINGER value.

  • NASL familyMandriva Local Security Checks
    NASL idMANDRAKE_MDKSA-2006-182.NASL
    descriptionA number of vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux 2.6 kernel : Stephane Eranian discovered an issue with permon2.0 where, under certain circumstances, the perfmonctl() system call may not correctly manage the file descriptor reference count, resulting in the system possibly running out of file structure (CVE-2006-3741). Prior to and including 2.6.17, the Universal Disk Format (UDF) filesystem driver allowed local users to cause a DoS (hang and crash) via certain operations involving truncated files (CVE-2006-4145). Various versions of the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a DoS (crash) via an SCTP socket with a certain SO_LINGER value, which is possibly related to the patch used to correct CVE-2006-3745 (CVE-2006-4535). The Unidirectional Lightweight Encapsulation (ULE) decapsulation component in the dvb driver allows remote attackers to cause a DoS (crash) via an SNDU length of 0 in a ULE packet (CVE-2006-4623). 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 : - added support for new devices: o NetXtreme BCM5715 gigabit ethernet o NetXtreme II BCM5708 gigabit ethernet - enabled the CISS driver for Xen kernels - updated ich8 support in ata_piix - enabled support for 1078 type controller in megaraid_sas - multiple fixes for RSBAC support To update your kernel, please follow the directions located at : http://www.mandriva.com/en/security/kernelupdate

Several security related problems have been discovered in the Linux kernel which may lead to a denial of service or even the execution of arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems : - CVE-2004-2660 Toshihiro Iwamoto discovered a memory leak in the handling of direct I/O writes that allows local users to cause a denial of service. - CVE-2005-4798 A buffer overflow in NFS readlink handling allows a malicious remote server to cause a denial of service. - CVE-2006-1052 Stephen Smalley discovered a bug in the SELinux ptrace handling that allows local users with ptrace permissions to change the tracer SID to the SID of another process. - CVE-2006-1343 Pavel Kankovsky discovered an information leak in the getsockopt system call which can be exploited by a local program to leak potentially sensitive memory to userspace. - CVE-2006-1528 Douglas Gilbert reported a bug in the sg driver that allows local users to cause a denial of service by performing direct I/O transfers from the sg driver to memory mapped I/O space. - CVE-2006-1855 Mattia Belletti noticed that certain debugging code left in the process management code could be exploited by a local attacker to cause a denial of service. - CVE-2006-1856 Kostik Belousov discovered a missing LSM file_permission check in the readv and writev functions which might allow attackers to bypass intended access restrictions. - CVE-2006-2444 Patrick McHardy discovered a bug in the SNMP NAT helper that allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service. - CVE-2006-2446 A race condition in the socket buffer handling allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service. - CVE-2006-2935 Diego Calleja Garcia discovered a buffer overflow in the DVD handling code that could be exploited by a specially crafted DVD USB storage device to execute arbitrary code. - CVE-2006-2936 A bug in the serial USB driver has been discovered that could be exploited by a custom made USB serial adapter to consume arbitrary amounts of memory. - CVE-2006-3468 James McKenzie discovered a denial of service vulnerability in the NFS driver. When exporting an ext3 file system over NFS, a remote attacker could exploit this to trigger a file system panic by sending a specially crafted UDP packet. - CVE-2006-3745 Wei Wang discovered a bug in the SCTP implementation that allows local users to cause a denial of service and possibly gain root privileges. - CVE-2006-4093 Olof Johansson discovered that the kernel does not disable the HID0 bit on PowerPC 970 processors which could be exploited by a local attacker to cause a denial of service. - CVE-2006-4145 A bug in the Universal Disk Format (UDF) filesystem driver could be exploited by a local user to cause a denial of service. - CVE-2006-4535 David Miller reported a problem with the fix for CVE-2006-3745 that allows local users to crash the system via an SCTP socket with a certain SO_LINGER value. The following matrix explains which kernel version for which architecture fixes the problem mentioned above : stable (sarge) Source 2.6.8-16sarge5 Alpha architecture 2.6.8-16sarge5 AMD64 architecture 2.6.8-16sarge5 HP Precision architecture 2.6.8-6sarge5 Intel IA-32 architecture 2.6.8-16sarge5 Intel IA-64 architecture 2.6.8-14sarge5 Motorola 680x0 architecture 2.6.8-4sarge5 PowerPC architecture 2.6.8-12sarge5 IBM S/390 2.6.8-5sarge5 Sun Sparc architecture 2.6.8-15sarge5 FAI 1.9.1sarge4

    descriptionUpdated kernel packages that fix several security issues in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 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. These new kernel packages contain fixes for the security issues described below : * a flaw in the proc file system that allowed a local user to use a suid-wrapper for scripts to gain root privileges (CVE-2006-3626, Important) * a flaw in the SCTP implementation that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (panic) or to possibly gain root privileges (CVE-2006-3745, Important) * a flaw in NFS exported ext2/ext3 partitions when handling invalid inodes that allowed a remote authenticated user to cause a denial of service (filesystem panic) (CVE-2006-3468, Important) * a flaw in the restore_all code path of the 4/4GB split support of non-hugemem kernels that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (panic) (CVE-2006-2932, Important) * a flaw in IPv4 netfilter handling for the unlikely use of SNMP NAT processing that allowed a remote user to cause a denial of service (crash) or potential memory corruption (CVE-2006-2444, Moderate) * a flaw in the DVD handling of the CDROM driver that could be used together with a custom built USB device to gain root privileges (CVE-2006-2935, Moderate) * a flaw in the handling of O_DIRECT writes that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) (CVE-2004-2660, Low) * a flaw in the SCTP chunk length handling that allowed a remote user to cause a denial of service (crash) (CVE-2006-1858, Low) * a flaw in the input handling of the ftdi_sio driver that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) (CVE-2006-2936, Low) In addition a bugfix was added to enable a clean reboot for the IBM Pizzaro machines. Red Hat would like to thank Wei Wang of McAfee Avert Labs and Kirill Korotaev for reporting issues fixed in this erratum. 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.
