Summary
The NTFS filesystem code in Linux kernel 2.6.x up to 2.6.18, and possibly other versions, allows local users to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a malformed NTFS file stream that triggers an infinite loop in the __find_get_block_slow function.

NASL family SuSE Local Security Checks NASL id SUSE_KERNEL-BIGSMP-2399.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. [#186226]. (CVE-2006-4145) - A potential crash when receiving IPX packets was fixed. This problem is thought not to be exploitable. [#197809] - A problem in DVB packet handling could be used to crash the machine when receiving DVB net packages is active. [#201429]. (CVE-2006-4623) - A struct file leak was fixed in the perfmon(2) system call on the Itanium architecture. [#202269]. (CVE-2006-3741) - A malformed ELF image can be used on the Itanium architecture to trigger a kernel crash (denial of service) when a local attacker can supply it to be started. [#203822]. (CVE-2006-4538) - A problem in the ATM protocol handling clip_mkip function could be used by remote attackers to potentially crash the machine. [#205383]. (CVE-2006-4997) CVE-2006-5757/ - A problem in the grow_buffers function could be used to crash or hang the machine using a corrupted filesystem. This affects filesystem types ISO9660 and NTFS. [#205384]. (CVE-2006-6060) - On the i386 architecture the ELFAGS content was not correctly saved, which could be used by local attackers to crash other programs using the AC and NT flag or to escalate privileges by waiting for iopl privileges to be leaked. [#209386]. (CVE-2006-5173) - On the S/390 architecture copy_from_user() could be used by local attackers to read kernel memory. [#209880]. (CVE-2006-5174) - A problem in IPv6 flowlabel handling can be used by local attackers to hang the machine. [#216590]. (CVE-2006-5619) - On the PowerPC architecture a syscall has been wired without the proper futex implementation that can be exploited by a local attacker to hang the machine. [#217295]. (CVE-2006-5648) - On the PowerPC architecture the proper futex implementation was missing a fix for alignment check which could be used by a local attacker to crash the machine. [#217295]. (CVE-2006-5649) - A problem in cramfs could be used to crash the machine during mounting a crafted cramfs image. This requires an attacker to supply such a crafted image and have a user mount it. [#218237]. (CVE-2006-5823) - A problem in the ext3 filesystem could be used by attackers able to supply a crafted ext3 image to cause a denial of service or further data corruption if a user mounts this image. [#220288]. (CVE-2006-6053) - Missing return code checking in the HFS could be used to crash machine when a user complicit attacker is able to supply a specially crafted HFS image. [#221230]. (CVE-2006-6056) - Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in netfilter for IPv6 code allow remote attackers to bypass intended restrictions via fragmentation attack vectors, aka (1) last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 29490 published 2007-12-13 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2007-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/29490 title SuSE 10 Security Update : Linux kernel (ZYPP Patch Number 2399) NASL family SuSE Local Security Checks NASL id SUSE_KERNEL-2397.NASL description This kernel update fixes the following security problems : - CVE-2006-4145: A bug within the UDF filesystem that caused machine hangs when truncating files on the filesystem was fixed.
