    descriptionSome vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux 2.6 kernel : Bugs in the netfilter for IPv6 code, as reported by Mark Dowd, were fixed (CVE-2006-4572). The ATM subsystem of the Linux kernel could allow a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service (panic) via unknown vectors that cause the ATM subsystem to access the memory of socket buffers after they are freed (CVE-2006-4997). 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 : - updated to 2.6.17.14 - fix wrong error handling in pccard_store_cis - add NX mask for PTE entry on x86_64 - fix snd-hda-intel OOPS - backported support r8169-related (r8168/r8169SC) network chipsets - explicitly initialize some members of the drm_driver structure, otherwise NULL init will have bad side effects (mach64) - support for building a nosrc.rpm package - fixed unplug/eject on pcmcia cards with r8169 chipsets - fix libata resource conflicts - fix xenU crash and re-enable domU boot logs - fix refcount error triggered by software using /proc/[pid]/auxv To update your kernel, please follow the directions located at : http://www.mandriva.com/en/security/kernelupdate

    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."

    "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'."

  • NASL familyRed Hat Local Security Checks
    NASL idREDHAT-RHSA-2007-0013.NASL
    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 familyDebian Local Security Checks
    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

    descriptionMark Dowd discovered that the netfilter iptables module did not correcly handle fragmented packets. By sending specially crafted packets, a remote attacker could exploit this to bypass firewall rules. This has only be fixed for Ubuntu 6.10; the corresponding fix for Ubuntu 5.10 and 6.06 will follow soon. (CVE-2006-4572) Dmitriy Monakhov discovered an information leak in the __block_prepare_write() function. During error recovery, this function did not properly clear memory buffers which could allow local users to read portions of unlinked files. This only affects Ubuntu 5.10. (CVE-2006-4813) ADLab Venustech Info Ltd discovered that the ATM network driver referenced an already released pointer in some circumstances. By sending specially crafted packets to a host over ATM, a remote attacker could exploit this to crash that host. This does not affect Ubuntu 6.10.
