UNKNOWN Summary
The file watch implementation in the audit subsystem (auditctl -w) in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4 kernel 2.6.9 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) by replacing a watched file, which does not cause the watch on the old inode to be dropped.

NASL family CentOS Local Security Checks NASL id CENTOS_RHSA-2007-0085.NASL description Updated kernel packages that fix two security issues and a bug in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 kernel are now available. This update 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 two security issues : * a flaw in the key serial number collision avoidance algorithm of the keyctl subsystem that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (CVE-2007-0006, Important) * a flaw in the file watch implementation of the audit subsystems that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (panic). To exploit this flaw a privileged user must have previously created a watch for a file (CVE-2007-0001, Moderate) In addition to the security issues described above, a fix for the SCTP subsystem to address a system crash which may be experienced in Telco environments has been included. 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 24727 published 2007-02-28 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2007-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/24727 title CentOS 4 : kernel (CESA-2007:0085) code #%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 80502 # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from Red Hat Security Advisory RHSA-2007:0085 and # CentOS Errata and Security Advisory 2007:0085 respectively. # include("compat.inc"); if (description) { script_id(24727); script_version("1.14"); script_cvs_date("Date: 2019/10/25 13:36:03"); script_cve_id("CVE-2007-0001", "CVE-2007-0006"); script_xref(name:"RHSA", value:"2007:0085"); script_name(english:"CentOS 4 : kernel (CESA-2007:0085)"); script_summary(english:"Checks rpm output for the updated packages"); script_set_attribute( attribute:"synopsis", value:"The remote CentOS host is missing one or more security updates." ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"description", value: "Updated kernel packages that fix two security issues and a bug in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 kernel are now available.
