NASL family SuSE Local Security Checks NASL id SUSE_11_0_KERNEL-090814.NASL description This kernel update for openSUSE 11.0 fixes some bugs and several security problems. The following security issues are fixed: CVE-2009-2692: A missing NULL pointer check in the socket sendpage function can be used by local attackers to gain root privileges. CVE-2009-2406: A kernel stack overflow when mounting eCryptfs filesystems in parse_tag_11_packet() was fixed. Code execution might be possible of ecryptfs is in use. CVE-2009-2407: A kernel heap overflow when mounting eCryptfs filesystems in parse_tag_3_packet() was fixed. Code execution might be possible of ecryptfs is in use. The compiler option -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks was added to the kernel build, and the -fwrapv compiler option usage was fixed to be used everywhere. This works around the compiler removing checks too aggressively. CVE-2009-1389: A crash in the r8169 driver when receiving large packets was fixed. This is probably exploitable only in the local network. CVE-2009-1895: Personality flags on set*id were not cleared correctly, so ASLR and NULL page protection could be bypassed. CVE-2009-1046: A utf-8 console memory corruption that can be used for local privilege escalation was fixed. The NULL page protection using mmap_min_addr was enabled (was disabled before). No CVE yet: A sigaltstack kernel memory disclosure was fixed. CVE-2008-5033: A local denial of service (Oops) in video4linux tvaudio was fixed. CVE-2009-1385: A Integer underflow in the e1000_clean_rx_irq function in drivers/net/e1000/e1000_main.c in the e1000 driver the e1000e driver in the Linux kernel, and Intel Wired Ethernet (aka e1000) before 7.5.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) via a crafted frame size. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 40783 published 2009-08-27 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2009-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/40783 title openSUSE Security Update : kernel (kernel-1211) code #%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 80502 # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from openSUSE Security Update kernel-1211. # # The text description of this plugin is (C) SUSE LLC. # include("compat.inc"); if (description) { script_id(40783); script_version("1.13"); script_cvs_date("Date: 2019/10/25 13:36:34"); script_cve_id("CVE-2008-5033", "CVE-2009-1046", "CVE-2009-1385", "CVE-2009-1389", "CVE-2009-1895", "CVE-2009-2406", "CVE-2009-2407", "CVE-2009-2692"); script_name(english:"openSUSE Security Update : kernel (kernel-1211)"); script_summary(english:"Check for the kernel-1211 patch"); script_set_attribute( attribute:"synopsis", value:"The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update." ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"description", value: "This kernel update for openSUSE 11.0 fixes some bugs and several security problems.

NASL family Ubuntu Local Security Checks NASL id UBUNTU_USN-679-1.NASL description It was discovered that the Xen hypervisor block driver did not correctly validate requests. A user with root privileges in a guest OS could make a malicious IO request with a large number of blocks that would crash the host OS, leading to a denial of service. This only affected Ubuntu 7.10. (CVE-2007-5498) It was discovered the the i915 video driver did not correctly validate memory addresses. A local attacker could exploit this to remap memory that could cause a system crash, leading to a denial of service. This issue did not affect Ubuntu 6.06 and was previous fixed for Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04 in USN-659-1. Ubuntu 8.10 has now been corrected as well. (CVE-2008-3831) David Watson discovered that the kernel did not correctly strip permissions when creating files in setgid directories. A local user could exploit this to gain additional group privileges. This issue only affected Ubuntu 6.06. (CVE-2008-4210) Olaf Kirch and Miklos Szeredi discovered that the Linux kernel did not correctly reject the last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 37683 published 2009-04-23 reporter Ubuntu Security Notice (C) 2008-2019 Canonical, Inc. / NASL script (C) 2009-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/37683 title Ubuntu 6.06 LTS / 7.10 / 8.04 LTS / 8.10 : linux, linux-source-2.6.15/22 vulnerabilities (USN-679-1) NASL family Mandriva Local Security Checks NASL id MANDRIVA_MDVSA-2008-246.NASL description Some vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux 2.6 kernel : The chip_command function in drivers/media/video/tvaudio.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.25.x before 2.6.25.19, 2.6.26.x before 2.6.26.7, and 2.6.27.x before 2.6.27.3 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL function pointer dereference and OOPS) via unknown vectors. (CVE-2008-5033) Stack-based buffer overflow in the hfs_cat_find_brec function in fs/hfs/catalog.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28-rc1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or system crash) via an hfs filesystem image with an invalid catalog namelength field, a related issue to CVE-2008-4933. (CVE-2008-5025) Additionally, added enhancements for a newer revision of Nokia models 6300, XpressMusic 5200, 5610 and 7610, the support for the ub USB module was disabled, added fixes for the Wake On LAN feature of the r8169 module, added fixes for suspend and resume on the i915 module, added ALSA fixes for Intel HDA, added workaround for a bug on iwlagn, added the m5602 driver, fixed a crash on the ppscsi module, added fixes to the uvcvideo module.
