"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-2005-4093
    Olof Johansson reported a local DoS (Denial of Service)
    vulnerability on the PPC970 platform. Unprivileged users
    can hang the system by executing the 'attn' instruction,
    which was not being disabled at boot.

  - CVE-2006-4538
    Kirill Korotaev reported a local DoS (Denial of Service)
    vulnerability on the ia64 and sparc architectures. A
    user could cause the system to crash by executing a
    malformed ELF binary due to insufficient verification of
    the memory layout.

  - CVE-2006-4997
    ADLab Venustech Info Ltd reported a potential remote DoS
    (Denial of Service) vulnerability in the IP over ATM
    subsystem. A remote system could cause the system to
    crash by sending specially crafted packets that would
    trigger an attempt to free an already-freed pointer
    resulting in a system crash.

  - CVE-2006-5174
    Martin Schwidefsky reported a potential leak of
    sensitive information on s390 systems. The
    copy_from_user function did not clear the remaining
    bytes of the kernel buffer after receiving a fault on
    the userspace address, resulting in a leak of
    uninitialized kernel memory. A local user could exploit
    this by appending to a file from a bad address.

  - CVE-2006-5649
    Fabio Massimo Di Nitto reported a potential remote DoS
    (Denial of Service) vulnerability on powerpc systems.
    The alignment exception only checked the exception table
    for -EFAULT, not for other errors. This can be exploited
    by a local user to cause a system crash (panic).

  - CVE-2006-5871
    Bill Allombert reported that various mount options are
    ignored by smbfs when UNIX extensions are enabled. This
    includes the uid, gid and mode options. Client systems
    would silently use the server-provided settings instead
    of honoring these options, changing the security model.
    This update includes a fix from Haroldo Gamal that
    forces the kernel to honor these mount options. Note
    that, since the current versions of smbmount always pass
    values for these options to the kernel, it is not
    currently possible to activate unix extensions by
    omitting mount options. However, this behavior is
    currently consistent with the current behavior of the
    next Debian release, 'etch'."

A local user could exhaust the available file descriptors by exploiting a counting error in the permonctl() system call. - CVE-2006-4538 Kirill Korotaev reported a local DoS (Denial of Service) vulnerability on the ia64 and sparc architectures. A user could cause the system to crash by executing a malformed ELF binary due to insufficient verification of the memory layout. - CVE-2006-4813 Dmitriy Monakhov reported a potential memory leak in the __block_prepare_write function. __block_prepare_write does not properly sanitize kernel buffers during error recovery, which could be exploited by local users to gain access to sensitive kernel memory. - CVE-2006-4997 ADLab Venustech Info Ltd reported a potential remote DoS (Denial of Service) vulnerability in the IP over ATM subsystem. A remote system could cause the system to crash by sending specially crafted packets that would trigger an attempt to free an already-freed pointer resulting in a system crash. - CVE-2006-5174 Martin Schwidefsky reported a potential leak of sensitive information on s390 systems. The copy_from_user function did not clear the remaining bytes of the kernel buffer after receiving a fault on the userspace address, resulting in a leak of uninitialized kernel memory. A local user could exploit this by appending to a file from a bad address. - CVE-2006-5619 James Morris reported a potential local DoS (Denial of Service) vulnerability that could be used to hang or oops a system. The seqfile handling for /proc/net/ip6_flowlabel has a flaw that can be exploited to cause an infinite loop by reading this file after creating a flowlabel. - CVE-2006-5649 Fabio Massimo Di Nitto reported a potential remote DoS (Denial of Service) vulnerability on powerpc systems. The alignment exception only checked the exception table for -EFAULT, not for other errors. This can be exploited by a local user to cause a system crash (panic). - CVE-2006-5751 Eugene Teo reported a vulnerability in the get_fdb_entries function that could potentially be exploited to allow arbitrary code execution with escalated privileges. - CVE-2006-5871 Bill Allombert reported that various mount options are ignored by smbfs when UNIX extensions are enabled. This includes the uid, gid and mode options. Client systems would silently use the server-provided settings instead of honoring these options, changing the security model. This update includes a fix from Haroldo Gamal that forces the kernel to honor these mount options. Note that, since the current versions of smbmount always pass values for these options to the kernel, it is not currently possible to activate unix extensions by omitting mount options. However, this behavior is currently consistent with the current behavior of the next Debian release,

    descriptionSridhar Samudrala discovered a local Denial of Service vulnerability in the handling of SCTP sockets. By opening such a socket with a special SO_LINGER value, a local attacker could exploit this to crash the kernel. (CVE-2006-4535) Kirill Korotaev discovered that the ELF loader on the ia64 and sparc platforms did not sufficiently verify the memory layout. By attempting to execute a specially crafted executable, a local user could exploit this to crash the kernel. (CVE-2006-4538). Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

    descriptionFrom Red Hat Security Advisory 2007:0014 : Updated 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 get_fdb_entries function of the network bridging support that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (crash) or allow a potential privilege escalation (CVE-2006-5751, Important) * an information leak in the _block_prepare_write function that allowed a local user to read kernel memory (CVE-2006-4813, Important) * an information leak in the copy_from_user() implementation on s390 and s390x platforms that allowed a local user to read kernel memory (CVE-2006-5174, Important) * a flaw in the handling of /proc/net/ip6_flowlabel that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) (CVE-2006-5619, Important) * a flaw in the AIO handling that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (panic) (CVE-2006-5754, Important) * a race condition in the mincore system core that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (system hang) (CVE-2006-4814, Moderate) * a flaw in the ELF handling on ia64 and sparc architectures which triggered a cross-region memory mapping and allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (CVE-2006-4538, Moderate) * a flaw in the dev_queue_xmit function of the network subsystem that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (data corruption) (CVE-2006-6535, Moderate) * a flaw in the handling of CAPI messages over Bluetooth that allowed a remote system to cause a denial of service or potential code execution. This flaw is only exploitable if a privileged user establishes a connection to a malicious remote device (CVE-2006-6106, Moderate) * a flaw in the listxattr system call that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (data corruption) or potential privilege escalation. To successfully exploit this flaw the existence of a bad inode is required first (CVE-2006-5753, Moderate) * a flaw in the __find_get_block_slow function that allowed a local privileged user to cause a denial of service (CVE-2006-5757, Low) * various flaws in the supported filesystems that allowed a local privileged user to cause a denial of service (CVE-2006-5823, CVE-2006-6053, CVE-2006-6054, CVE-2006-6056, Low) In addition to the security issues described above, fixes for the following bugs were included : * initialization error of the tg3 driver with some BCM5703x network card * a memory leak in the audit subsystem * x86_64 nmi watchdog timeout is too short * ext2/3 directory reads fail intermittently Red Hat would like to thank Dmitriy Monakhov and Kostantin Khorenko 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 architecture and configurations as listed in this erratum.

    descriptionUpdated kernel packages that fix several security issues and a bug in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 kernel are now available. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. A flaw was found in the handling of process death signals. This allowed a local user to send arbitrary signals to the suid-process executed by that user. A successful exploitation of this flaw depends on the structure of the suid-program and its signal handling. (CVE-2007-3848, Important) A flaw was found in the IPv4 forwarding base. This allowed a local user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2007-2172, Important) A flaw was found where a corrupted executable file could cause cross-region memory mappings on Itanium systems. This allowed a local user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-4538, Moderate) A flaw was found in the stack expansion when using the hugetlb kernel on PowerPC systems. This allowed a local user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2007-3739, Moderate) A flaw was found in the aacraid SCSI driver. This allowed a local user to make ioctl calls to the driver that should be restricted to privileged users. (CVE-2007-4308, Moderate) As well, these updated packages fix the following bug : * a bug in the TCP header prediction code may have caused
