NASL family SuSE Local Security Checks NASL id SUSE_KERNEL-4186.NASL description This kernel update fixes the following security problems : - The IPv6 protocol allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted IPv6 type 0 route headers (IPV6_RTHDR_TYPE_0) that create network amplification between two routers. (CVE-2007-2242) The default is that RH0 is disabled now. To adjust this, write to the file /proc/net/accept_source_route6. - The random number feature in the Linux kernel 2.6 (1) did not properly seed pools when there is no entropy, or (2) used an incorrect cast when extracting entropy, which might have caused the random number generator to provide the same values after reboots on systems without an entropy source. (CVE-2007-2453) - A NULL pointer dereference in SCTP connection tracking could be caused by a remote attacker by sending specially crafted packets. Note that this requires SCTP set-up and active to be exploitable. (CVE-2007-2876) - Stack-based buffer overflow in the random number generator (RNG) implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22 might allow local root users to cause a denial of service or gain privileges by setting the default wakeup threshold to a value greater than the output pool size, which triggers writing random numbers to the stack by the pool transfer function involving last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 59123 published 2012-05-17 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2012-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/59123 title SuSE 10 Security Update : Linux kernel (ZYPP Patch Number 4186) code #%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 80502 # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The text description of this plugin is (C) Novell, Inc. # if (NASL_LEVEL < 3000) exit(0); include("compat.inc"); if (description) { script_id(59123); script_version("1.4"); script_cvs_date("Date: 2019/10/25 13:36:30"); script_cve_id("CVE-2007-2242", "CVE-2007-2453", "CVE-2007-2525", "CVE-2007-2876", "CVE-2007-3105", "CVE-2007-3107", "CVE-2007-3513", "CVE-2007-3848", "CVE-2007-3851"); script_name(english:"SuSE 10 Security Update : Linux kernel (ZYPP Patch Number 4186)"); script_summary(english:"Checks rpm output for the updated packages"); script_set_attribute( attribute:"synopsis", value:"The remote SuSE 10 host is missing a security-related patch." ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"description", value: "This kernel update fixes the following security problems : - The IPv6 protocol allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted IPv6 type 0 route headers (IPV6_RTHDR_TYPE_0) that create network amplification between two routers.

(CVE-2007-2876) - Stack-based buffer overflow in the random number generator (RNG) implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22 might allow local root users to cause a denial of service or gain privileges by setting the default wakeup threshold to a value greater than the output pool size, which triggers writing random numbers to the stack by the pool transfer function involving 'bound check ordering'. (CVE-2007-3105) Since this value can only be changed by a root user, exploitability is low. - The signal handling in the Linux kernel, when run on PowerPC systems using HTX, allows local users to cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors involving floating point corruption and concurrency. (CVE-2007-3107) - Memory leak in the PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) socket implementation in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by creating a socket using connect, and releasing it before the PPPIOCGCHAN ioctl is initialized. (CVE-2007-2525) - The lcd_write function in drivers/usb/misc/usblcd.c in the Linux kernel did not limit the amount of memory used by a caller, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption). (CVE-2007-3513) - A local attacker could send a death signal to a setuid root program under certain conditions, potentially causing unwanted behaviour in this program. (CVE-2007-3848) - On machines with a Intel i965 based graphics card local users with access to the direct rendering devicenode could overwrite memory on the machine and so gain root privileges. (CVE-2007-3851) - Fixed a denial of service possibility where a local attacker with access to a pwc camera device could hang the USB subsystem.

The default is that RH0 is disabled now. To adjust this, write to the file /proc/net/accept_source_route6. - CVE-2007-2453: The random number feature in the Linux kernel 2.6 (1) did not properly seed pools when there is no entropy, or (2) used an incorrect cast when extracting entropy, which might have caused the random number generator to provide the same values after reboots on systems without an entropy source. - CVE-2007-2876: A NULL pointer dereference in SCTP connection tracking could be caused by a remote attacker by sending specially crafted packets. Note that this requires SCTP set-up and active to be exploitable. - CVE-2007-3105: Stack-based buffer overflow in the random number generator (RNG) implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22 might allow local root users to cause a denial of service or gain privileges by setting the default wakeup threshold to a value greater than the output pool size, which triggers writing random numbers to the stack by the pool transfer function involving last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 27296 published 2007-10-17 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2007-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/27296 title SuSE Security Update: Kernel Update for SUSE Linux 10.1 (kernel-4193) NASL family Fedora Local Security Checks NASL id FEDORA_2007-599.NASL description Merged stable kernel 2.6.20.12, 2.6.20.13, 2.6.20.14: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.20.12 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.20.13 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.20.14 Added the latest GFS2 updates from the maintainers.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems : - CVE-2007-1353 Ilja van Sprundel discovered that kernel memory could be leaked via the Bluetooth setsockopt call due to an uninitialized stack buffer. This could be used by local attackers to read the contents of sensitive kernel memory. - CVE-2007-2172 Thomas Graf reported a typo in the DECnet protocol handler that could be used by a local attacker to overrun an array via crafted packets, potentially resulting in a Denial of Service (system crash). A similar issue exists in the IPV4 protocol handler and will be fixed in a subsequent update. - CVE-2007-2453 A couple of issues with random number generation were discovered. Slightly less random numbers resulted from hashing a subset of the available entropy. Zero-entropy systems were seeded with the same inputs at boot time, resulting in repeatable series of random numbers. - CVE-2007-2525 Florian Zumbiehl discovered a memory leak in the PPPOE subsystem caused by releasing a socket before PPPIOCGCHAN is called upon it. This could be used by a local user to DoS a system by consuming all available memory. - CVE-2007-2876 Vilmos Nebehaj discovered a NULL pointer dereference condition in the netfilter subsystem. This allows remote systems which communicate using the SCTP protocol to crash a system by creating a connection with an unknown chunk type. - CVE-2007-3513 Oliver Neukum reported an issue in the usblcd driver which, by not limiting the size of write buffers, permits local users with write access to trigger a DoS by consuming all available memory. - CVE-2007-3642 Zhongling Wen reported an issue in nf_conntrack_h323 where the lack of range checking may lead to NULL pointer dereferences. Remote attackers could exploit this to create a DoS condition (system crash). - CVE-2007-3848 Wojciech Purczynski discovered that pdeath_signal was not being reset properly under certain conditions which may allow local users to gain privileges by sending arbitrary signals to suid binaries. - CVE-2007-3851 Dave Airlie reported that Intel 965 and above chipsets have relocated their batch buffer security bits. Local X server users may exploit this to write user data to arbitrary physical memory addresses. These problems have been fixed in the stable distribution in version 2.6.18.dfsg.1-13etch1. The following matrix lists additional packages that were rebuilt for compatibility with or to take advantage of this update : Debian 4.0 (etch) fai-kernels 1.17+etch4 user-mode-linux 2.6.18-1um-2etch3 last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 25909 published 2007-08-21 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/25909 title Debian DSA-1356-1 : linux-2.6 - several vulnerabilities NASL family SuSE Local Security Checks NASL id SUSE_KERNEL-4185.NASL description This kernel update fixes the following security problems : - The IPv6 protocol allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted IPv6 type 0 route headers (IPV6_RTHDR_TYPE_0) that create network amplification between two routers. (CVE-2007-2242) The default is that RH0 is disabled now. To adjust this, write to the file /proc/net/accept_source_route6. - The random number feature in the Linux kernel 2.6 (1) did not properly seed pools when there is no entropy, or (2) used an incorrect cast when extracting entropy, which might have caused the random number generator to provide the same values after reboots on systems without an entropy source. (CVE-2007-2453) - A NULL pointer dereference in SCTP connection tracking could be caused by a remote attacker by sending specially crafted packets. Note that this requires SCTP set-up and active to be exploitable. (CVE-2007-2876) - Stack-based buffer overflow in the random number generator (RNG) implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22 might allow local root users to cause a denial of service or gain privileges by setting the default wakeup threshold to a value greater than the output pool size, which triggers writing random numbers to the stack by the pool transfer function involving last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 29487 published 2007-12-13 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2007-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/29487 title SuSE 10 Security Update : Linux kernel (ZYPP Patch Number 4185) NASL family Mandriva Local Security Checks NASL id MANDRAKE_MDKSA-2007-171.NASL description Some vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux 2.6 kernel : The Linux kernel did not properly save or restore EFLAGS during a context switch, or reset the flags when creating new threads, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (process crash) (CVE-2006-5755). The compat_sys_mount function in fs/compat.c allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and oops) by mounting a smbfs file system in compatibility mode (CVE-2006-7203). The nfnetlink_log function in netfilter allowed an attacker to cause a denial of service (crash) via unspecified vectors which would trigger a NULL pointer dereference (CVE-2007-1496). The nf_conntrack function in netfilter did not set nfctinfo during reassembly of fragmented packets, which left the default value as IP_CT_ESTABLISHED and could allow remote attackers to bypass certain rulesets using IPv6 fragments (CVE-2007-1497). The netlink functionality did not properly handle NETLINK_FIB_LOOKUP replies, which allowed a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via unspecified vectors, probably related to infinite recursion (CVE-2007-1861). A typo in the Linux kernel caused RTA_MAX to be used as an array size instead of RTN_MAX, which lead to an out of bounds access by certain functions (CVE-2007-2172). The IPv6 protocol allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted IPv6 type 0 route headers that create network amplification between two routers (CVE-2007-2242). The random number feature did not properly seed pools when there was no entropy, or used an incorrect cast when extracting entropy, which could cause the random number generator to provide the same values after reboots on systems without an entropy source (CVE-2007-2453). A memory leak in the PPPoE socket implementation allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by creating a socket using connect, and releasing it before the PPPIOCGCHAN ioctl is initialized (CVE-2007-2525). An integer underflow in the cpuset_tasks_read function, when the cpuset filesystem is mounted, allowed local users to obtain kernel memory contents by using a large offset when reading the /dev/cpuset/tasks file (CVE-2007-2875). The sctp_new function in netfilter allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service by causing certain invalid states that triggered a NULL pointer dereference (CVE-2007-2876). In addition to these security fixes, other fixes have been included such as : - Fix crash on netfilter when nfnetlink_log is used on certain hooks on packets forwarded to or from a bridge - Fixed busy sleep on IPVS which caused high load averages - Fixed possible race condition on ext[34]_link - Fixed missing braces in condition block that led to wrong behaviour in NFS - Fixed XFS lock deallocation that resulted in oops when unmounting 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 25968 published 2007-09-03 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2007-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/25968 title Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : kernel (MDKSA-2007:171) NASL family CentOS Local Security Checks NASL id CENTOS_RHSA-2007-0705.NASL description Updated kernel packages that fix various security issues in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 kernel are now available.
