Summary

The audit_syscall_entry function in the Linux kernel 2.6.28.7 and earlier on the x86_64 platform does not properly handle (1) a 32-bit process making a 64-bit syscall or (2) a 64-bit process making a 32-bit syscall, which allows local users to bypass certain syscall audit configurations via crafted syscalls, a related issue to CVE-2009-0342 and CVE-2009-0343.

    descriptionSeveral vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to denial of service, privilege escalation, or information leak. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems : - CVE-2008-4307 Bryn M. Reeves reported a denial of service in the NFS filesystem. Local users can trigger a kernel BUG() due to a race condition in the do_setlk function. - CVE-2008-5395 Helge Deller discovered a denial of service condition that allows local users on PA-RISC to crash the system by attempting to unwind a stack containing userspace addresses. - CVE-2008-5701 Vlad Malov reported an issue on 64-bit MIPS where a local user could cause a system crash by crafting a malicious binary which makes o32 syscalls with a number less than 4000. - CVE-2008-5702 Zvonimir Rakamaric reported an off-by-one error in the ib700wdt watchdog driver which allows local users to cause a buffer underflow by making a specially crafted WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT ioctl call. - CVE-2008-5713 Flavio Leitner discovered that a local user can cause a denial of service by generating large amounts of traffic on a large SMP system, resulting in soft lockups. - CVE-2009-0028 Chris Evans discovered a situation in which a child process can send an arbitrary signal to its parent. - CVE-2009-0029 Christian Borntraeger discovered an issue effecting the alpha, mips, powerpc, s390 and sparc64 architectures that allows local users to cause a denial of service or potentially gain elevated privileges. - CVE-2009-0031 Vegard Nossum discovered a memory leak in the keyctl subsystem that allows local users to cause a denial of service by consuming all available kernel memory. - CVE-2009-0065 Wei Yongjun discovered a memory overflow in the SCTP implementation that can be triggered by remote users, permitting remote code execution. - CVE-2009-0322 Pavel Roskin provided a fix for an issue in the dell_rbu driver that allows a local user to cause a denial of service (oops) by reading 0 bytes from a sysfs entry. - CVE-2009-0675 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 Roland McGrath discovered an issue on amd64 kernels that 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. - CVE-2009-1265 Thomas Pollet reported an overflow in the af_rose 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 long nativeFileSystem field in a Tree Connect response during mount.

      - CVE-2008-5395
        Helge Deller discovered a denial of service condition
        that allows local users on PA-RISC to crash the system
        by attempting to unwind a stack containing userspace
        addresses.
    
      - CVE-2008-5701
        Vlad Malov reported an issue on 64-bit MIPS where a
        local user could cause a system crash by crafting a
        malicious binary which makes o32 syscalls with a number
        less than 4000.
    
      - CVE-2008-5702
        Zvonimir Rakamaric reported an off-by-one error in the

        cause a buffer underflow by making a specially crafted
        WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT ioctl call.
    
      - CVE-2008-5713
        Flavio Leitner discovered that a local user can cause a
        denial of service by generating large amounts of traffic
        on a large SMP system, resulting in soft lockups.
    
      - CVE-2009-0028
        Chris Evans discovered a situation in which a child
        process can send an arbitrary signal to its parent.

        potentially gain elevated privileges.
    
      - CVE-2009-0031
        Vegard Nossum discovered a memory leak in the keyctl
        subsystem that allows local users to cause a denial of
        service by consuming all available kernel memory.
    
      - CVE-2009-0065
        Wei Yongjun discovered a memory overflow in the SCTP
        implementation that can be triggered by remote users,
        permitting remote code execution.
    
      - CVE-2009-0322
        Pavel Roskin provided a fix for an issue in the dell_rbu
        driver that allows a local user to cause a denial of
        service (oops) by reading 0 bytes from a sysfs entry.
    
      - CVE-2009-0675
        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
        Roland McGrath discovered an issue on amd64 kernels that
        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.
    
      - CVE-2009-1265
        Thomas Pollet reported an overflow in the af_rose
        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."

    "Updated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues and several
    bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 Extended
    Update Support.
    
    This update has been rated as having important security impact by the
    Red Hat Security Response Team.
    
    The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
    operating system.
    
    This update fixes the following security issues :
    
    * a flaw was found in the IPv6 Extension Header (EH) handling
    implementation in the Linux kernel. The skb->dst data structure was
    not properly validated in the ipv6_hop_jumbo() function. This could
    possibly lead to a remote denial of service. (CVE-2007-4567,
    Important)
    
    * the possibility of a timeout value overflow was found in the Linux
    kernel high-resolution timers functionality, hrtimers. This could
    allow a local, unprivileged user to execute arbitrary code, or cause a
    denial of service (kernel panic). (CVE-2007-5966, Important)
    
    * memory leaks were found on some error paths in the icmp_send()
    function in the Linux kernel. This could, potentially, cause the
    network connectivity to cease. (CVE-2009-0778, Important)
    
    * a deficiency was found in the Linux kernel system call auditing
    implementation on 64-bit systems. This could allow a local,
    unprivileged user to circumvent a system call audit configuration, if
    that configuration filtered based on the 'syscall' number or
    arguments. (CVE-2009-0834, Important)
    
    * a flaw was found in the Intel PRO/1000 Linux driver (e1000) in the
    Linux kernel. Frames with sizes near the MTU of an interface may be
    split across multiple hardware receive descriptors. Receipt of such a
    frame could leak through a validation check, leading to a corruption
    of the length check. A remote attacker could use this flaw to send a
    specially crafted packet that would cause a denial of service or code
    execution. (CVE-2009-1385, Important)
    
    * the ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT and MMAP_PAGE_ZERO flags were not cleared
    when a setuid or setgid program was executed. A local, unprivileged
    user could use this flaw to bypass the mmap_min_addr protection
    mechanism and perform a NULL pointer dereference attack, or bypass the
    Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) security feature.
    (CVE-2009-1895, Important)
    
    * a flaw was found in each of the following Intel PRO/1000 Linux
    drivers in the Linux kernel: e1000 and e1000e. A remote attacker using
    packets larger than the MTU could bypass the existing fragment check,
    resulting in partial, invalid frames being passed to the network
    stack. These flaws could also possibly be used to trigger a remote
    denial of service. (CVE-2009-4536, CVE-2009-4538, Important)
    
    * a flaw was found in the Realtek r8169 Ethernet driver in the Linux
    kernel. Receiving overly-long frames with a certain revision of the
    network cards supported by this driver could possibly result in a
    remote denial of service. (CVE-2009-4537, Important)

    descriptionThis kernel update for openSUSE 11.0 fixes some bugs and several security problems. The following security issues are fixed: A local denial of service problem in the splice(2) system call. CVE-2009-1630: The nfs_permission function in fs/nfs/dir.c in the NFS client implementation in the Linux kernel when atomic_open is available, does not check execute (aka EXEC or MAY_EXEC) permission bits, which allows local users to bypass permissions and execute files, as demonstrated by files on an NFSv4 fileserver. CVE-2009-0834: The audit_syscall_entry function in the Linux kernel on the x86_64 platform did not properly handle (1) a 32-bit process making a 64-bit syscall or (2) a 64-bit process making a 32-bit syscall, which allows local users to bypass certain syscall audit configurations via crafted syscalls. CVE-2009-1072: nfsd in the Linux kernel did not drop the CAP_MKNOD capability before handling a user request in a thread, which allows local users to create device nodes, as demonstrated on a filesystem that has been exported with the root_squash option. CVE-2009-0835 The __secure_computing function in kernel/seccomp.c in the seccomp subsystem in the Linux kernel on the x86_64 platform, when CONFIG_SECCOMP is enabled, does not properly handle (1) a 32-bit process making a 64-bit syscall or (2) a 64-bit process making a 32-bit syscall, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via crafted syscalls that are misinterpreted as (a) stat or (b) chmod. CVE-2009-1439: Buffer overflow in fs/cifs/connect.c in CIFS in the Linux kernel 2.6.29 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or potential code execution via a long nativeFileSystem field in a Tree Connect response to an SMB mount request.

    security problems.
    
    The following security issues are fixed: A local denial of service
    problem in the splice(2) system call.
    
    CVE-2009-1630: The nfs_permission function in fs/nfs/dir.c in the NFS
    client implementation in the Linux kernel when atomic_open is
    available, does not check execute (aka EXEC or MAY_EXEC) permission
    bits, which allows local users to bypass permissions and execute
    files, as demonstrated by files on an NFSv4 fileserver.
    
    CVE-2009-0834: The audit_syscall_entry function in the Linux kernel on
    the x86_64 platform did not properly handle (1) a 32-bit process
    making a 64-bit syscall or (2) a 64-bit process making a 32-bit
    syscall, which allows local users to bypass certain syscall audit
    configurations via crafted syscalls.
    
    CVE-2009-1072: nfsd in the Linux kernel did not drop the CAP_MKNOD
    capability before handling a user request in a thread, which allows
    local users to create device nodes, as demonstrated on a filesystem
    that has been exported with the root_squash option.
    
    CVE-2009-0835 The __secure_computing function in kernel/seccomp.c in
    the seccomp subsystem in the Linux kernel on the x86_64 platform, when
    CONFIG_SECCOMP is enabled, does not properly handle (1) a 32-bit
    process making a 64-bit syscall or (2) a 64-bit process making a
    32-bit syscall, which allows local users to bypass intended access
    restrictions via crafted syscalls that are misinterpreted as (a) stat
    or (b) chmod.
    
    CVE-2009-1439: Buffer overflow in fs/cifs/connect.c in CIFS in the
    Linux kernel 2.6.29 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a
    denial of service (crash) or potential code execution via a long
    nativeFileSystem field in a Tree Connect response to an SMB mount
    request.
    
    This requires that kernel can be made to mount a 'cifs' filesystem
    from a malicious CIFS server.
    
    CVE-2009-1337: The exit_notify function in kernel/exit.c in the Linux
    kernel did not restrict exit signals when the CAP_KILL capability is
    held, which 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-2009-0859: The shm_get_stat function in ipc/shm.c in the shm
    subsystem in the Linux kernel, when CONFIG_SHMEM is disabled,
    misinterprets the data type of an inode, which allows local users to
    cause a denial of service (system hang) via an SHM_INFO shmctl call,
    as demonstrated by running the ipcs program. (SUSE is enabling
    CONFIG_SHMEM, so is by default not affected, the fix is just for
    completeness).
    
    CVE-2009-1242: The vmx_set_msr function in arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the
    VMX implementation in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel on the
    i386 platform allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service
    (OOPS) by setting the EFER_LME (aka 'Long mode enable') bit in the
    Extended Feature Enable Register (EFER) model-specific register, which
    is specific to the x86_64 platform.
    
    CVE-2009-1265: Integer overflow in rose_sendmsg (sys/net/af_rose.c) in
    the Linux kernel might allow attackers to obtain sensitive information
    via a large length value, which causes 'garbage' memory to be sent.
    
    CVE-2009-0028: The clone system call in the Linux kernel allows local
    users to send arbitrary signals to a parent process from an
    unprivileged child process by launching an additional child process
    with the CLONE_PARENT flag, and then letting this new process exit.
    
    CVE-2009-0675: The skfp_ioctl function in drivers/net/skfp/skfddi.c in
    the Linux kernel permits SKFP_CLR_STATS requests only when the
    CAP_NET_ADMIN capability is absent, instead of when this capability is
    present, which allows local users to reset the driver statistics,
    related to an 'inverted logic' issue.
    
    CVE-2009-0676: The sock_getsockopt function in net/core/sock.c in the
    Linux kernel does not initialize a certain structure member, which
    allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from
    kernel memory via an SO_BSDCOMPAT getsockopt request.
    
    CVE-2009-0322: drivers/firmware/dell_rbu.c in the Linux kernel allows
    local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a read
    system call that specifies zero bytes from the (1) image_type or (2)
    packet_size file in /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/.
    
    CVE-2009-0269: fs/ecryptfs/inode.c in the eCryptfs subsystem in the
    Linux kernel allows local users to cause a denial of service (fault or
    memory corruption), or possibly have unspecified other impact, via a
    readlink call that results in an error, leading to use of a -1 return
    value as an array index.
    
    CVE-2009-0065: Buffer overflow in net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c in the
    Stream Control Transmission Protocol (sctp) implementation in the
    Linux kernel allows remote attackers to have an unknown impact via an
    FWD-TSN (aka FORWARD-TSN) chunk with a large stream ID.
    
    Some other non-security bugs were fixed, please see the RPM changelog."

    descriptionThe remote OracleVM system is missing necessary patches to address critical security updates : CVE-2008-4307 Race condition in the do_setlk function in fs/nfs/file.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.26 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors resulting in an interrupted RPC call that leads to a stray FL_POSIX lock, related to improper handling of a race between fcntl and close in the EINTR case. CVE-2009-1337 The exit_notify function in kernel/exit.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.30-rc1 does not restrict exit signals when the CAP_KILL capability is held, which 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-2009-0834 The audit_syscall_entry function in the Linux kernel 2.6.28.7 and earlier on the x86_64 platform does not properly handle (1) a 32-bit process making a 64-bit syscall or (2) a 64-bit process making a 32-bit syscall, which allows local users to bypass certain syscall audit configurations via crafted syscalls, a related issue to CVE-2009-0342 and CVE-2009-0343. CVE-2009-1336 fs/nfs/client.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.23 does not properly initialize a certain structure member that stores the maximum NFS filename length, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via a long filename, related to the encode_lookup function. - CVE-2008-4307 -[nfs] remove bogus lock-if-signalled case (Bryn M.

    descriptionThe Linux kernel on SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 Service Pack 2 was updated to fix various security issues and several bugs. The following security issues were fixed: CVE-2009-0834: The audit_syscall_entry function in the Linux kernel on the x86_64 platform did not properly handle (1) a 32-bit process making a 64-bit syscall or (2) a 64-bit process making a 32-bit syscall, which allows local users to bypass certain syscall audit configurations via crafted syscalls. - nfsd in the Linux kernel did not drop the CAP_MKNOD capability before handling a user request in a thread, which allows local users to create device nodes, as demonstrated on a filesystem that has been exported with the root_squash option. (CVE-2009-1072) - The __secure_computing function in kernel/seccomp.c in the seccomp subsystem in the Linux kernel on the x86_64 platform, when CONFIG_SECCOMP is enabled, does not properly handle (1) a 32-bit process making a 64-bit syscall or (2) a 64-bit process making a 32-bit syscall, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via crafted syscalls that are misinterpreted as (a) stat or (b) chmod. (CVE-2009-0835) - Buffer overflow in fs/cifs/connect.c in CIFS in the Linux kernel 2.6.29 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or potential code execution via a long nativeFileSystem field in a Tree Connect response to an SMB mount request.

    descriptionSome vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux 2.6 kernel : The clone system call in the Linux kernel 2.6.28 and earlier allows local users to send arbitrary signals to a parent process from an unprivileged child process by launching an additional child process with the CLONE_PARENT flag, and then letting this new process exit. (CVE-2009-0028) fs/ecryptfs/inode.c in the eCryptfs subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (fault or memory corruption), or possibly have unspecified other impact, via a readlink call that results in an error, leading to use of a -1 return value as an array index. (CVE-2009-0269) The audit_syscall_entry function in the Linux kernel 2.6.28.7 and earlier on the x86_64 platform does not properly handle (1) a 32-bit process making a 64-bit syscall or (2) a 64-bit process making a 32-bit syscall, which allows local users to bypass certain syscall audit configurations via crafted syscalls, a related issue to CVE-2009-0342 and CVE-2009-0343.

(CVE-2009-0835) The selinux_ip_postroute_iptables_compat function in security/selinux/hooks.c in the SELinux subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.27.22, and 2.6.28.x before 2.6.28.10, when compat_net is enabled, omits calls to avc_has_perm for the (1) node and (2) port, which allows local users to bypass intended restrictions on network traffic. NOTE: this was incorrectly reported as an issue fixed in 2.6.27.21. (CVE-2009-1184) Additionally, along with other things, this kernel update adds support for D-Link DWM 652 3.5G, some Intel gigabit network chipsets, Avermedia PCI pure analog (M135A), fixes a bug causing SQLite performance regression, and has some updated ALSA drivers.

CVE-2009-1072: nfsd in the Linux kernel did not drop the CAP_MKNOD capability before handling a user request in a thread, which allows local users to create device nodes, as demonstrated on a filesystem that has been exported with the root_squash option. CVE-2009-0835 The __secure_computing function in kernel/seccomp.c in the seccomp subsystem in the Linux kernel on the x86_64 platform, when CONFIG_SECCOMP is enabled, does not properly handle (1) a 32-bit process making a 64-bit syscall or (2) a 64-bit process making a 32-bit syscall, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via crafted syscalls that are misinterpreted as (a) stat or (b) chmod.

    descriptionThe audit_syscall_entry function in the Linux kernel 2.6.28.7 and earlier on the x86_64 platform does not properly handle (1) a 32-bit process making a 64-bit syscall or (2) a 64-bit process making a 32-bit syscall, which allows local users to bypass certain syscall audit configurations via crafted syscalls, a related issue to CVE-2009-0342 and CVE-2009-0343.
