"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 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,
