"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.

These new kernel packages contain fixes for the security issues
described below :

* a flaw in the IPC shared-memory implementation that allowed a local
user to cause a denial of service (deadlock) that resulted in freezing
the system (CVE-2006-4342, Important)

* an information leak in the copy_from_user() implementation on s390
and s390x platforms that allowed a local user to read arbitrary kernel
memory (CVE-2006-5174, Important)

* a flaw in the ATM subsystem affecting systems with installed ATM
hardware and configured ATM support that allowed a remote user to
cause a denial of service (panic) by accessing socket buffer memory
after it has been freed (CVE-2006-4997, Moderate)

* a directory traversal vulnerability in smbfs that allowed a local
user to escape chroot restrictions for an SMB-mounted filesystem via
'..\\' sequences (CVE-2006-1864, Moderate)

* a flaw in the mprotect system call that allowed enabling write
permission for a read-only attachment of shared memory (CVE-2006-2071,
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)

In addition to the security issues described above, a bug fix for a
clock skew problem (which could lead to unintended keyboard repeat
under X11) was also included. The problem only occurred when running
the 32-bit x86 kernel on 64-bit dual-core x86_64 hardware.

Note: The kernel-unsupported package contains various drivers and
modules that are unsupported and therefore might contain security
problems that have not been addressed.

All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 users are advised to upgrade their
kernels to the packages associated with their machine architecture and
configurations as listed in this erratum."

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'."

    descriptionUpdated kernel packages that fix a number of security issues as well as other bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 (32 bit architectures) This security advisory has been rated as having moderate 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 ATM subsystem affecting systems with installed ATM hardware and configured ATM support that allowed a remote user to cause a denial of service (panic) by accessing socket buffer memory after it has been freed (CVE-2006-4997, 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) In addition to the security issues described above, the following bugs are also addressed : * a potential overflow condition when reading /proc/devices * uninitialized memory in cdrom_init() that can lead to a crash at install time * a potential page corruption bug in /proc/kcore * a race condition when reading vmalloc()ed regions via /proc/kcore All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 users are advised to upgrade their kernels to these updated packages, which contain backported fixes to correct these issues.

    NASL idDEBIAN_DSA-1233.NASL
    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-2006-3741 Stephane Eranian discovered a local DoS (Denial of Service) vulnerability on the ia64 architecture. 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,

  • NASL familyMandriva Local Security Checks
    NASL idMANDRAKE_MDKSA-2007-012.NASL
    descriptionSome vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux 2.6 kernel : The __block_prepate_write function in the 2.6 kernel before 2.6.13 does not properly clear buffers during certain error conditions, which allows users to read portions of files that have been unlinked (CVE-2006-4813). The clip_mkip function of the ATM subsystem in the 2.6 kernel allows remote attackers to dause a DoS (panic) via unknown vectors that cause the ATM subsystem to access the memory of socket buffers after they are freed (CVE-2006-4997). The NFS lockd in the 2.6 kernel before 2.6.16 allows remote attackers to cause a DoS (process crash) and deny access to NFS exports via unspecified vectors that trigger a kernel oops and a deadlock (CVE-2006-5158). The seqfile handling in the 2.6 kernel up to 2.6.18 allows local users to cause a DoS (hang or oops) via unspecified manipulations that trigger an infinite loop while searching for flowlabels (CVE-2006-5619). A missing call to init_timer() in the isdn_ppp code of the Linux kernel can allow remote attackers to send a special kind of PPP pakcet which may trigger a kernel oops (CVE-2006-5749). An integer overflow in the 2.6 kernel prior to 2.6.18.4 could allow a local user to execute arbitrary code via a large maxnum value in an ioctl request (CVE-2006-5751). A race condition in the ISO9660 filesystem handling could allow a local user to cause a DoS (infinite loop) by mounting a crafted ISO9660 filesystem containing malformed data structures (CVE-2006-5757). A vulnerability in the bluetooth support could allow for overwriting internal CMTP and CAPI data structures via malformed packets (CVE-2006-6106). 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 : - __bread oops fix - added e1000_ng (nineveh support) - added sata_svw (Broadcom SATA support) - added Marvell PATA chipset support - disabled mmconf on some broken hardware/BIOSes - use GENERICARCH and enable bigsmp apic model for tulsa machines To update your kernel, please follow the directions located at : http://www.mandriva.com/en/security/kernelupdate

(CVE-2006-4623, Low) * an information leak in the network subsystem that possibly allowed a local user to read sensitive data from kernel memory. (CVE-2006-0039, Low) In addition, two bugfixes for the IPW-2200 wireless driver were included. The first one ensures that wireless management applications correctly identify IPW-2200 controlled devices, while the second fix ensures that DHCP requests using the IPW-2200 operate correctly. Red Hat would like to thank Olof Johansson, Stephane Eranian and Solar Designer for reporting issues fixed in this erratum.

    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 SCTP support that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (crash) with a specific SO_LINGER value. (CVE-2006-4535, Important) * a flaw in the hugepage table support that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (crash). (CVE-2005-4811, Important) * a flaw in the mprotect system call that allowed setting write permission for a read-only attachment of shared memory. (CVE-2006-2071, Moderate) * a flaw in HID0[31] (en_attn) register handling on PowerPC 970 systems that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service. (crash) (CVE-2006-4093, Moderate) * a flaw in the perfmon support of Itanium systems that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service by consuming all file descriptors. (CVE-2006-3741, Moderate) * a flaw in the ATM subsystem. On systems with installed ATM hardware and configured ATM support, a remote user could cause a denial of service (panic) by accessing socket buffers memory after freeing them. (CVE-2006-4997, Moderate) * a flaw in the DVB subsystem. On systems with installed DVB hardware and configured DVB support, a remote user could cause a denial of service (panic) by sending a ULE SNDU packet with length of 0.
