    Roel Kluin discovered inverted logic in the skfddi
    driver that permits local, unprivileged users to reset
    the driver statistics.

  - CVE-2009-0676
    Clement LECIGNE discovered a bug in the sock_getsockopt
    function that may result in leaking sensitive kernel
    memory.

  - CVE-2009-0834

    allows local users to circumvent system call audit
    configurations which filter based on the syscall numbers
    or argument details.

  - CVE-2009-0859
    Jiri Olsa discovered that a local user can cause a
    denial of service (system hang) using a SHM_INFO shmctl
    call on kernels compiled with CONFIG_SHMEM disabled.
    This issue does not affect prebuilt Debian kernels.

  - CVE-2009-1192
    Shaohua Li reported an issue in the AGP subsystem that
    may allow local users to read sensitive kernel memory
    due to a leak of uninitialized memory.

    implementation that allows remote attackers to retrieve
    uninitialized kernel memory that may contain sensitive
    data.

  - CVE-2009-1336
    Trond Myklebust reported an issue in the encode_lookup()
    function in the nfs server subsystem that allows local
    users to cause a denial of service (oops in
    encode_lookup()) by use of a long filename.

  - CVE-2009-1337
    Oleg Nesterov discovered an issue in the exit_notify
    function that allows local users to send an arbitrary
    signal to a process by running a program that modifies
    the exit_signal field and then uses an exec system call
    to launch a setuid application.

  - CVE-2009-1439
    Pavan Naregundi reported an issue in the CIFS filesystem
    code that allows remote users to overwrite memory via a

Note: Debian carefully tracks all known security issues across every
linux kernel package in all releases under active security support.
However, given the high frequency at which low-severity security
issues are discovered in the kernel and the resource requirements of
doing an update, updates for lower priority issues will normally not
be released for all kernels at the same time. Rather, they will be
released in a staggered or 'leap-frog' fashion."

    descriptionHugo Dias discovered that the ATM subsystem did not correctly manage socket counts. A local attacker could exploit this to cause a system hang, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-5079) It was discovered that the libertas wireless driver did not correctly handle beacon and probe responses. A physically near-by attacker could generate specially crafted wireless network traffic and cause a denial of service. Ubuntu 6.06 was not affected. (CVE-2008-5134) It was discovered that the inotify subsystem contained watch removal race conditions. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-5182) Dann Frazier discovered that in certain situations sendmsg did not correctly release allocated memory. A local attacker could exploit this to force the system to run out of free memory, leading to a denial of service. Ubuntu 6.06 was not affected. (CVE-2008-5300) It was discovered that the ATA subsystem did not correctly set timeouts. A local attacker could exploit this to cause a system hang, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-5700) It was discovered that the ib700 watchdog timer did not correctly check buffer sizes. A local attacker could send a specially crafted ioctl to the device to cause a system crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-5702) It was discovered that in certain situations the network scheduler did not correctly handle very large levels of traffic. A local attacker could produce a high volume of UDP traffic resulting in a system hang, leading to a denial of service. Ubuntu 8.04 was not affected. (CVE-2008-5713). Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

descriptionBUGTRAQ ID: 32985 CVE(CAN) ID: CVE-2008-5713 Linux Kernel是开放源码操作系统Linux所使用的内核。 在多核（如16核）SMP机器上，如果并发的高流量的网络负载，就会导致内核中出现软锁定。 锁定出现在net/sched/sch_generic.c的84行的__qdisc_run()函数中。由于驱动持续发送报文并返回NETDEV_TX_OK，__qdisc_run()就无法退出qdisc_restart()循环。尽管这可以提高吞吐能力，但某些应用程序可能被迟滞大约10秒钟。 Linux kernel 2.6.x Linux ----- 目前厂商已经发布了升级补丁以修复这个安全问题，请到厂商的主页下载： <a href=http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=2ba2506ca7ca62c56edaa334b0fe61eb5eab6ab0 target=_blank rel=external nofollow>http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=2ba2506ca7ca62c56edaa334b0fe61eb5eab6ab0</a>
