By sending specially crafted packets, a remote attacker could exploit this to bypass firewall rules. This has has already been fixed for Ubuntu 6.10 in USN-395-1; this is the corresponding fix for Ubuntu 6.06.(CVE-2006-4572) Doug Chapman discovered an improper lock handling in the mincore() function. A local attacker could exploit this to cause an eternal hang in the kernel, rendering the machine unusable. (CVE-2006-4814) Al Viro reported that the ISDN PPP module did not initialize the reset state timer. By sending specially crafted ISDN packets, a remote attacker could exploit this to crash the kernel. (CVE-2006-5749) Various syscalls (like listxattr()) misinterpreted the return value of return_EIO() when encountering bad inodes. By issuing particular system calls on a malformed file system, a local attacker could exploit this to crash the kernel. (CVE-2006-5753) The task switching code did not save and restore EFLAGS of processes. By starting a specially crafted executable, a local attacker could exploit this to eventually crash many other running processes. This only affects the amd64 platform. (CVE-2006-5755) A race condition was found in the grow_buffers() function. By mounting a specially crafted ISO9660 or NTFS file system, a local attacker could exploit this to trigger an infinite loop in the kernel, rendering the machine unusable. (CVE-2006-5757) A buffer overread was found in the zlib_inflate() function. By tricking an user into mounting a specially crafted file system which uses zlib compression (such as cramfs), this could be exploited to crash the kernel. (CVE-2006-5823) The ext3 file system driver did not properly handle corrupted data structures. By mounting a specially crafted ext3 file system, a local attacker could exploit this to crash the kernel. (CVE-2006-6053) The ext2 file system driver did not properly handle corrupted data structures. By mounting a specially crafted ext2 file system, a local attacker could exploit this to crash the kernel. (CVE-2006-6054) The hfs file system driver did not properly handle corrupted data structures. By mounting a specially crafted hfs file system, a local attacker could exploit this to crash the kernel. This only affects systems which enable SELinux (Ubuntu disables SELinux by default). (CVE-2006-6056) Several vulnerabilities have been found in the GFS2 file system driver. Since this driver has never actually worked in Ubuntu 6.10, it has been disabled. This only affects Ubuntu 6.10. (CVE-2006-6057) Marcel Holtman discovered several buffer overflows in the Bluetooth driver. By sending Bluetooth packets with specially crafted CAPI messages, a remote attacker could exploit these to crash the kernel. (CVE-2006-6106).

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 last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 24628 published 2007-02-18 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2007-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/24628 title Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : kernel (MDKSA-2007:012) NASL family SuSE Local Security Checks NASL id SUSE_KERNEL-DEBUG-2393.NASL description This kernel update fixes the following security problems : - A bug within the UDF filesystem that caused machine hangs when truncating files on the filesystem was fixed.

In addition to these security fixes, other fixes have been included such as : - added the marvell IDE driver - use a specific driver Jmicron chipsets rather than using a generic one - updated the sky2 driver to fix some network hang issues To update your kernel, please follow the directions located at : http://www.mandriva.com/en/security/kernelupdate last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 24619 published 2007-02-18 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2007-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/24619 title Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : kernel (MDKSA-2007:002) NASL family Oracle Linux Local Security Checks NASL id ORACLELINUX_ELSA-2007-0014.NASL description From 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. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 67438 published 2013-07-12 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2013-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/67438 title Oracle Linux 4 : kernel (ELSA-2007-0014) NASL family Debian Local Security Checks NASL id DEBIAN_DSA-1304.NASL description CVE-2006-6060 CVE-2006-6106 CVE-2006-6535 CVE-2007-0958 CVE-2007-1357 CVE-2007-1592 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. This update also fixes a regression in the smbfs subsystem which was introduced in DSA-1233which caused symlinks to be interpreted as regular files.
