    descriptionUpdated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues and several bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. 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 Realtek r8169 Ethernet driver in the Linux kernel. pci_unmap_single() presented a memory leak that could lead to IOMMU space exhaustion and a system crash. An attacker on the local network could trigger this flaw by using jumbo frames for large amounts of network traffic. (CVE-2009-3613, Important) * NULL pointer dereference flaws were found in the r128 driver in the Linux kernel. Checks to test if the Concurrent Command Engine state was initialized were missing in private IOCTL functions. An attacker could use these flaws to cause a local denial of service or escalate their privileges. (CVE-2009-3620, Important) * an information leak was found in the Linux kernel. On AMD64 systems, 32-bit processes could access and read certain 64-bit registers by temporarily switching themselves to 64-bit mode. (CVE-2009-2910, Moderate) * the unix_stream_connect() function in the Linux kernel did not check if a UNIX domain socket was in the shutdown state. This could lead to a deadlock. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2009-3621, Moderate) This update also fixes the following bugs : * an iptables rule with the recent module and a hit count value greater than the ip_pkt_list_tot parameter (the default is 20), did not have any effect over packets, as the hit count could not be reached. (BZ#529306) * in environments that use dual-controller storage devices with the cciss driver, Device-Mapper Multipath maps could not be detected and configured, due to the cciss driver not exporting the bus attribute via sysfs. This attribute is now exported. (BZ#529309) * the kernel crashed with a divide error when a certain joystick was attached. (BZ#532027) * a bug in the mptctl_do_mpt_command() function in the mpt driver may have resulted in crashes during boot on i386 systems with certain adapters using the mpt driver, and also running the hugemem kernel. (BZ#533798) * on certain hardware, the igb driver was unable to detect link statuses correctly. This may have caused problems for network bonding, such as failover not occurring. (BZ#534105) * the RHSA-2009:1024 update introduced a regression. After updating to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.8 and rebooting, network links often failed to be brought up for interfaces using the forcedeth driver.

       Newt is a programming library for color text mode, widget based
       user interfaces. Newt can be used to add stacked windows, entry
       widgets, checkboxes, radio buttons, labels, plain text fields,
       scrollbars, etc., to text mode user interfaces.
    
       A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way newt
       processes content that is to be displayed in a text dialog box.
       A local attacker could issue a specially crafted text dialog box
       display request (direct or via a custom application), leading to a
       denial of service (application crash) or, potentially, arbitrary
       code execution with the privileges of the user running the
       application using the newt library.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2009-2905 to this issue.
    
    b. vMA and Service Console update for vMA package nfs-utils to
       1.0.9-42.el5
    
       The nfs-utils package provides a daemon for the kernel NFS server
       and related tools.
    
       It was discovered that nfs-utils did not use tcp_wrappers
       correctly.  Certain hosts access rules defined in '/etc/hosts.allow'
       and '/etc/hosts.deny' may not have been honored, possibly allowing
       remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2008-4552 to this issue.
    
    c. vMA and Service Console package glib2 updated to 2.12.3-4.el5_3.1
    
       GLib is the low-level core library that forms the basis for
       projects such as GTK+ and GNOME. It provides data structure
       handling for C, portability wrappers, and interfaces for such
       runtime functionality as an event loop, threads, dynamic loading,
       and an object system.
    
       Multiple integer overflows in glib/gbase64.c in GLib before 2.20
       allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a
       long string that is converted either from or to a base64
       representation.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2008-4316 to this issue.
    
    d. vMA and Service Console update for openssl to 0.9.8e-12.el5
    
       SSL is a toolkit implementing SSL v2/v3 and TLS protocols with full-
       strength cryptography world-wide.
    
       Multiple denial of service flaws were discovered in OpenSSL's DTLS
       implementation. A remote attacker could use these flaws to cause a
       DTLS server to use excessive amounts of memory, or crash on an
       invalid memory access or NULL pointer dereference.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the names CVE-2009-1377, CVE-2009-1378,
       CVE-2009-1379, CVE-2009-1386, CVE-2009-1387 to these issues.
    
       An input validation flaw was found in the handling of the BMPString
       and UniversalString ASN1 string types in OpenSSL's
       ASN1_STRING_print_ex() function. An attacker could use this flaw to
       create a specially crafted X.509 certificate that could cause
       applications using the affected function to crash when printing
       certificate contents.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2009-0590 to this issue.
    
    e. vMA and Service Console package bind updated to 9.3.6-4.P1.el5_4.1
    
       It was discovered that BIND was incorrectly caching responses
       without performing proper DNSSEC validation, when those responses
       were received during the resolution of a recursive client query
       that requested DNSSEC records but indicated that checking should be
       disabled. A remote attacker could use this flaw to bypass the DNSSEC
       validation check and perform a cache poisoning attack if the target
       BIND server was receiving such client queries.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2009-4022 to this issue.
    
    f. vMA and Service Console package expat updated to 1.95.8-8.3.el5_4.2.
    
       Two buffer over-read flaws were found in the way Expat handled
       malformed UTF-8 sequences when processing XML files. A specially-
       crafted XML file could cause applications using Expat to fail while
       parsing the file.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the names CVE-2009-3560 and CVE-2009-3720 to these
       issues.
    
    g. vMA and Service Console package openssh update to 4.3p2-36.el5_4.2
    
       A Red Hat specific patch used in the openssh packages as shipped in
       Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 (RHSA-2009:1287) loosened certain
       ownership requirements for directories used as arguments for the
       ChrootDirectory configuration options. A malicious user that also
       has or previously had non-chroot shell access to a system could
       possibly use this flaw to escalate their privileges and run
       commands as any system user.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2009-2904 to this issue.
    
    h. vMA and Service Console package ntp updated to
       ntp-4.2.2p1-9.el5_4.1.i386.rpm
    
       A flaw was discovered in the way ntpd handled certain malformed NTP
       packets. ntpd logged information about all such packets and replied
       with an NTP packet that was treated as malformed when received by
       another ntpd. A remote attacker could use this flaw to create an NTP
       packet reply loop between two ntpd servers through a malformed packet
       with a spoofed source IP address and port, causing ntpd on those
       servers to use excessive amounts of CPU time and fill disk space with
       log messages.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2009-3563 to this issue.   
    
    i. vMA update for package kernel to 2.6.18-164.9.1.el5
    
       Updated vMA package kernel addresses the security issues listed
       below.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2009-2849 to the security issue fixed in
       kernel 2.6.18-128.2.1

    descriptionUpdated kernel packages that fix several security issues and multiple bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3. 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. Security fixes : * when fput() was called to close a socket, the __scm_destroy() function in the Linux kernel could make indirect recursive calls to itself. This could, potentially, lead to a denial of service issue. (CVE-2008-5029, Important) * the sendmsg() function in the Linux kernel did not block during UNIX socket garbage collection. This could, potentially, lead to a local denial of service. (CVE-2008-5300, Important) * the exit_notify() function in the Linux kernel did not properly reset the exit signal if a process executed a set user ID (setuid) application before exiting. This could allow a local, unprivileged user to elevate their privileges. (CVE-2009-1337, Important) * a flaw was found in the Intel PRO/1000 network driver 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) * it was discovered that, when executing a new process, the clear_child_tid pointer in the Linux kernel is not cleared. If this pointer points to a writable portion of the memory of the new program, the kernel could corrupt four bytes of memory, possibly leading to a local denial of service or privilege escalation. (CVE-2009-2848, Important) * missing initialization flaws were found in getname() implementations in the IrDA sockets, AppleTalk DDP protocol, NET/ROM protocol, and ROSE protocol implementations in the Linux kernel. Certain data structures in these getname() implementations were not initialized properly before being copied to user-space. These flaws could lead to an information leak. (CVE-2009-3002, Important) * a NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in each of the following functions in the Linux kernel: pipe_read_open(), pipe_write_open(), and pipe_rdwr_open(). When the mutex lock is not held, the i_pipe pointer could be released by other processes before it is used to update the pipe

    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.
    
    Security fixes :
    
    * when fput() was called to close a socket, the __scm_destroy()

    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

    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)
    
    * it was discovered that, when executing a new process, the
    clear_child_tid pointer in the Linux kernel is not cleared. If this
    pointer points to a writable portion of the memory of the new program,
    the kernel could corrupt four bytes of memory, possibly leading to a
    local denial of service or privilege escalation. (CVE-2009-2848,
    Important)
    
    * missing initialization flaws were found in getname() implementations
    in the IrDA sockets, AppleTalk DDP protocol, NET/ROM protocol, and
    ROSE protocol implementations in the Linux kernel. Certain data
    structures in these getname() implementations were not initialized
    properly before being copied to user-space. These flaws could lead to
    an information leak. (CVE-2009-3002, Important)
    
    * a NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in each of the following
    functions in the Linux kernel: pipe_read_open(), pipe_write_open(),
    and pipe_rdwr_open(). When the mutex lock is not held, the i_pipe
    pointer could be released by other processes before it is used to
    update the pipe's reader and writer counters. This could lead to a
    local denial of service or privilege escalation. (CVE-2009-3547,
    Important)
    
    Bug fixes :
    
    * this update adds the mmap_min_addr tunable and restriction checks to
    help prevent unprivileged users from creating new memory mappings
    below the minimum address. This can help prevent the exploitation of
    NULL pointer dereference bugs. Note that mmap_min_addr is set to zero
    (disabled) by default for backwards compatibility. (BZ#512642)
    
    * a bridge reference count problem in IPv6 has been fixed. (BZ#457010)
    
    * enforce null-termination of user-supplied arguments to setsockopt().
    (BZ#505514)
    
    * the gcc flag '-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks' was added to the
    kernel build options. This prevents gcc from optimizing out NULL
    pointer checks after the first use of a pointer. NULL pointer bugs are
    often exploited by attackers. Keeping these checks is a safety
    measure. (BZ#511185)
    
    * a check has been added to the IPv4 code to make sure that rt is not
    NULL, to help prevent future bugs in functions that call
    ip_append_data() from being exploitable. (BZ#520300)
    
    Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
    backported patches to correct these issues. The system must be
    rebooted for this update to take effect."

    descriptionSeveral vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service, sensitive memory leak or privilege escalation. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems : - CVE-2009-2846 Michael Buesch noticed a typing issue in the eisa-eeprom driver for the hppa architecture. Local users could exploit this issue to gain access to restricted memory. - CVE-2009-2847 Ulrich Drepper noticed an issue in the do_sigalstack routine on 64-bit systems. This issue allows local users to gain access to potentially sensitive memory on the kernel stack. - CVE-2009-2848 Eric Dumazet discovered an issue in the execve path, where the clear_child_tid variable was not being properly cleared. Local users could exploit this issue to cause a denial of service (memory corruption). - CVE-2009-2849 Neil Brown discovered an issue in the sysfs interface to md devices. When md arrays are not active, local users can exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service (oops). - CVE-2009-2903 Mark Smith discovered a memory leak in the appletalk implementation. When the appletalk and ipddp modules are loaded, but no ipddp

    "Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that
    may lead to a denial of service, sensitive memory leak or privilege
    escalation. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
    identifies the following problems :
    
      - CVE-2009-2846
        Michael Buesch noticed a typing issue in the eisa-eeprom
        driver for the hppa architecture. Local users could
        exploit this issue to gain access to restricted memory.
    
      - CVE-2009-2847
        Ulrich Drepper noticed an issue in the do_sigalstack
        routine on 64-bit systems. This issue allows local users
        to gain access to potentially sensitive memory on the
        kernel stack.
    
      - CVE-2009-2848
        Eric Dumazet discovered an issue in the execve path,
        where the clear_child_tid variable was not being
        properly cleared. Local users could exploit this issue
        to cause a denial of service (memory corruption).
    
      - CVE-2009-2849
        Neil Brown discovered an issue in the sysfs interface to
        md devices. When md arrays are not active, local users
        can exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of
        service (oops).
    
      - CVE-2009-2903
        Mark Smith discovered a memory leak in the appletalk
        implementation. When the appletalk and ipddp modules are
        loaded, but no ipddp'N' device is found, remote
        attackers can cause a denial of service by consuming
        large amounts of system memory.
    
      - CVE-2009-2908
        Loic Minier discovered an issue in the eCryptfs
        filesystem. A local user can cause a denial of service
        (kernel oops) by causing a dentry value to go negative.
    
      - CVE-2009-2909
        Arjan van de Ven discovered an issue in the AX.25
        protocol implementation. A specially crafted call to
        setsockopt() can result in a denial of service (kernel
        oops).
    
      - CVE-2009-2910
        Jan Beulich discovered the existence of a sensitive
        kernel memory leak. Systems running the 'amd64' kernel
        do not properly sanitize registers for 32-bit processes.
    
      - CVE-2009-3001
        Jiri Slaby fixed a sensitive memory leak issue in the
        ANSI/IEEE 802.2 LLC implementation. This is not
        exploitable in the Debian lenny kernel as root
        privileges are required to exploit this issue.
    
      - CVE-2009-3002
        Eric Dumazet fixed several sensitive memory leaks in the
        IrDA, X.25 PLP (Rose), NET/ROM, Acorn Econet/AUN, and
        Controller Area Network (CAN) implementations. Local
        users can exploit these issues to gain access to kernel
        memory.
    
      - CVE-2009-3228
        Eric Dumazet reported an instance of uninitialized
        kernel memory in the network packet scheduler. Local
        users may be able to exploit this issue to read the
        contents of sensitive kernel memory.
    
      - CVE-2009-3238
        Linus Torvalds provided a change to the get_random_int()
        function to increase its randomness.
    
      - CVE-2009-3286
        Eric Paris discovered an issue with the NFSv4 server
        implementation. When an O_EXCL create fails, files may
        be left with corrupted permissions, possibly granting
        unintentional privileges to other local users.
    
      - CVE-2009-3547
        Earl Chew discovered a NULL pointer dereference issue in
        the pipe_rdwr_open function which can be used by local
        users to gain elevated privileges.
    
      - CVE-2009-3612
        Jiri Pirko discovered a typo in the initialization of a
        structure in the netlink subsystem that may allow local
        users to gain access to sensitive kernel memory.
    
      - CVE-2009-3613
        Alistair Strachan reported an issue in the r8169 driver.
        Remote users can cause a denial of service (IOMMU space
        exhaustion and system crash) by transmitting a large
        amount of jumbo frames.
    
      - CVE-2009-3620
        Ben Hutchings discovered an issue in the DRM manager for
        ATI Rage 128 graphics adapters. Local users may be able
        to exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of
        service (NULL pointer dereference).
    
      - CVE-2009-3621
        Tomoki Sekiyama discovered a deadlock condition in the
        UNIX domain socket implementation. Local users can
        exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service
        (system hang)."

    For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.6.24-6~etchnhalf.9etch1.
    
    Note: Debian 'etch' includes linux kernel packages based upon both the
    2.6.18 and 2.6.24 linux releases. All known security issues are
    carefully tracked against both packages and both packages will receive
    security updates until security support for Debian 'etch' concludes.
    However, given the high frequency at which low-severity security
    issues are discovered in the kernel and the resource requirements of
    doing an update, lower severity 2.6.18 and 2.6.24 updates will
    typically release in a staggered or 'leap-frog' fashion."

    b. ESXi userworld update for ntp
    
       The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize the time of
       a computer client or server to another server or reference time
       source.
    
       A vulnerability in ntpd could allow a remote attacker to cause a
       denial of service (CPU and bandwidth consumption) by using
       MODE_PRIVATE to send a spoofed (1) request or (2) response packet
       that triggers a continuous exchange of MODE_PRIVATE error responses
       between two NTP daemons.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2009-3563 to this issue.
    
    c. Service Console package openssl updated to 0.9.8e-12.el5_4.1
    
       OpenSSL is a toolkit implementing SSL v2/v3 and TLS protocols with
       full-strength cryptography world-wide.
    
       A memory leak in the zlib could allow a remote attacker to cause a
       denial of service (memory consumption) via vectors that trigger
       incorrect calls to the CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data function.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2009-4355 to this issue.
    
       A vulnerability was discovered which may allow remote attackers to
       spoof certificates by using MD2 design flaws to generate a hash
       collision in less than brute-force time. NOTE: the scope of this
       issue is currently limited because the amount of computation
       required is still large.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2009-2409 to this issue.
    
       This update also includes security fixes that were first addressed
       in version openssl-0.9.8e-12.el5.i386.rpm.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the names CVE-2009-0590, CVE-2009-1377, CVE-2009-1378,
       CVE-2009-1379, CVE-2009-1386 and CVE-2009-1387 to these issues.
    
    d. Service Console update for krb5 to 1.6.1-36.el5_4.1 and pam_krb5 to
       2.2.14-15.
    
       Kerberos is a network authentication protocol. It is designed to
       provide strong authentication for client/server applications by
       using secret-key cryptography.
    
       Multiple integer underflows in the AES and RC4 functionality in the
       crypto library could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of
       service (daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code by
       providing ciphertext with a length that is too short to be valid.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2009-4212 to this issue.
    
       The service console package for pam_krb5 is updated to version
       pam_krb5-2.2.14-15. This update fixes a flaw found in pam_krb5. In
       some non-default configurations (specifically, where pam_krb5 would
       be the first module to prompt for a password), a remote attacker
       could use this flaw to recognize valid usernames, which would aid a
       dictionary-based password guess attack.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2009-1384 to this issue.
    
    e. Service Console package bind updated to 9.3.6-4.P1.el5_4.2
    
       BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Daemon) is by far the most widely used
       Domain Name System (DNS) software on the Internet.
    
       A vulnerability was discovered which could allow remote attacker to
       add the Authenticated Data (AD) flag to a forged NXDOMAIN response
       for an existing domain.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2010-0097 to this issue.
    
       A vulnerability was discovered which could allow remote attackers
       to conduct DNS cache poisoning attacks by receiving a recursive
       client query and sending a response that contains CNAME or DNAME
       records, which do not have the intended validation before caching.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2010-0290 to this issue.
    
       A vulnerability was found in the way that bind handles out-of-
       bailiwick data accompanying a secure response without re-fetching
       from the original source, which could allow remote attackers to
       have an unspecified impact via a crafted response.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2010-0382 to this issue.
    
       NOTE: ESX does not use the BIND name service daemon by default.
    
    f. Service Console package gcc updated to 3.2.3-60
    
       The GNU Compiler Collection includes front ends for C, C++,
       Objective-C, Fortran, Java, and Ada, as well as libraries for these
       languages
    
       GNU Libtool's ltdl.c attempts to open .la library files in the
       current working directory.  This could allow a local user to gain
       privileges via a Trojan horse file.  The GNU C Compiler collection
       (gcc) provided in ESX contains a statically linked version of the
       vulnerable code, and is being replaced.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2009-3736 to this issue.
    
    g. Service Console package gzip update to 1.3.3-15.rhel3
    
       gzip is a software application used for file compression
    
       An integer underflow in gzip's unlzw function on 64-bit platforms
       may allow a remote attacker to trigger an array index error
       leading to a denial of service (application crash) or possibly
       execute arbitrary code via a crafted LZW compressed file.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2010-0001 to this issue.
    
    h. Service Console package sudo updated to 1.6.9p17-6.el5_4
    
       Sudo (su 'do') allows a system administrator to delegate authority
       to give certain users (or groups of users) the ability to run some
       (or all) commands as root or another user while providing an audit
       trail of the commands and their arguments.
    
       When a pseudo-command is enabled, sudo permits a match between the
       name of the pseudo-command and the name of an executable file in an
       arbitrary directory, which allows local users to gain privileges
       via a crafted executable file.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2010-0426 to this issue.
    
       When the runas_default option is used, sudo does not properly set
       group memberships, which allows local users to gain privileges via
       a sudo command.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2010-0427 to this issue."

    descriptionUpdated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues and several bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. 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 Realtek r8169 Ethernet driver in the Linux kernel. pci_unmap_single() presented a memory leak that could lead to IOMMU space exhaustion and a system crash. An attacker on the local network could trigger this flaw by using jumbo frames for large amounts of network traffic. (CVE-2009-3613, Important) * NULL pointer dereference flaws were found in the r128 driver in the Linux kernel. Checks to test if the Concurrent Command Engine state was initialized were missing in private IOCTL functions. An attacker could use these flaws to cause a local denial of service or escalate their privileges. (CVE-2009-3620, Important) * an information leak was found in the Linux kernel. On AMD64 systems, 32-bit processes could access and read certain 64-bit registers by temporarily switching themselves to 64-bit mode. (CVE-2009-2910, Moderate) * the unix_stream_connect() function in the Linux kernel did not check if a UNIX domain socket was in the shutdown state. This could lead to a deadlock. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2009-3621, Moderate) This update also fixes the following bugs : * an iptables rule with the recent module and a hit count value greater than the ip_pkt_list_tot parameter (the default is 20), did not have any effect over packets, as the hit count could not be reached. (BZ#529306) * in environments that use dual-controller storage devices with the cciss driver, Device-Mapper Multipath maps could not be detected and configured, due to the cciss driver not exporting the bus attribute via sysfs. This attribute is now exported. (BZ#529309) * the kernel crashed with a divide error when a certain joystick was attached. (BZ#532027) * a bug in the mptctl_do_mpt_command() function in the mpt driver may have resulted in crashes during boot on i386 systems with certain adapters using the mpt driver, and also running the hugemem kernel. (BZ#533798) * on certain hardware, the igb driver was unable to detect link statuses correctly. This may have caused problems for network bonding, such as failover not occurring. (BZ#534105) * the RHSA-2009:1024 update introduced a regression. After updating to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.8 and rebooting, network links often failed to be brought up for interfaces using the forcedeth driver.

    descriptionFrom Red Hat Security Advisory 2009:1550 : Updated kernel packages that fix several security issues and multiple bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3. 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. Security fixes : * when fput() was called to close a socket, the __scm_destroy() function in the Linux kernel could make indirect recursive calls to itself. This could, potentially, lead to a denial of service issue. (CVE-2008-5029, Important) * the sendmsg() function in the Linux kernel did not block during UNIX socket garbage collection. This could, potentially, lead to a local denial of service. (CVE-2008-5300, Important) * the exit_notify() function in the Linux kernel did not properly reset the exit signal if a process executed a set user ID (setuid) application before exiting. This could allow a local, unprivileged user to elevate their privileges. (CVE-2009-1337, Important) * a flaw was found in the Intel PRO/1000 network driver 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) * it was discovered that, when executing a new process, the clear_child_tid pointer in the Linux kernel is not cleared. If this pointer points to a writable portion of the memory of the new program, the kernel could corrupt four bytes of memory, possibly leading to a local denial of service or privilege escalation. (CVE-2009-2848, Important) * missing initialization flaws were found in getname() implementations in the IrDA sockets, AppleTalk DDP protocol, NET/ROM protocol, and ROSE protocol implementations in the Linux kernel. Certain data structures in these getname() implementations were not initialized properly before being copied to user-space. These flaws could lead to an information leak. (CVE-2009-3002, Important) * a NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in each of the following functions in the Linux kernel: pipe_read_open(), pipe_write_open(), and pipe_rdwr_open().

    descriptionFrom Red Hat Security Advisory 2009:1541 : Updated kernel packages that fix security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. 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 NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in each of the following functions in the Linux kernel: pipe_read_open(), pipe_write_open(), and pipe_rdwr_open(). When the mutex lock is not held, the i_pipe pointer could be released by other processes before it is used to update the pipe

    descriptionFrom Red Hat Security Advisory 2009:1548 : Updated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues and several bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. 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. Security fixes : * a system with SELinux enforced was more permissive in allowing local users in the unconfined_t domain to map low memory areas even if the mmap_min_addr restriction was enabled. This could aid in the local exploitation of NULL pointer dereference bugs. (CVE-2009-2695, Important) * a NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the eCryptfs implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a local denial of service or escalate their privileges. (CVE-2009-2908, Important) * a flaw was found in the NFSv4 implementation. The kernel would do an unnecessary permission check after creating a file. This check would usually fail and leave the file with the permission bits set to random values. Note: This is a server-side only issue. (CVE-2009-3286, Important) * a NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in each of the following functions in the Linux kernel: pipe_read_open(), pipe_write_open(), and pipe_rdwr_open().

  • NASL familyScientific Linux Local Security Checks
    NASL idSL_20091215_KERNEL_ON_SL4_X.NASL
    descriptionThis update fixes the following security issues : - a flaw was found in the Realtek r8169 Ethernet driver in the Linux kernel. pci_unmap_single() presented a memory leak that could lead to IOMMU space exhaustion and a system crash. An attacker on the local network could trigger this flaw by using jumbo frames for large amounts of network traffic. (CVE-2009-3613, Important) - NULL pointer dereference flaws were found in the r128 driver in the Linux kernel. Checks to test if the Concurrent Command Engine state was initialized were missing in private IOCTL functions. An attacker could use these flaws to cause a local denial of service or escalate their privileges. (CVE-2009-3620, Important) - an information leak was found in the Linux kernel. On AMD64 systems, 32-bit processes could access and read certain 64-bit registers by temporarily switching themselves to 64-bit mode. (CVE-2009-2910, Moderate) - the unix_stream_connect() function in the Linux kernel did not check if a UNIX domain socket was in the shutdown state. This could lead to a deadlock. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2009-3621, Moderate) This update also fixes the following bugs : - an iptables rule with the recent module and a hit count value greater than the ip_pkt_list_tot parameter (the default is 20), did not have any effect over packets, as the hit count could not be reached. (BZ#529306) - in environments that use dual-controller storage devices with the cciss driver, Device-Mapper Multipath maps could not be detected and configured, due to the cciss driver not exporting the bus attribute via sysfs. This attribute is now exported. (BZ#529309) - the kernel crashed with a divide error when a certain joystick was attached. (BZ#532027) - a bug in the mptctl_do_mpt_command() function in the mpt driver may have resulted in crashes during boot on i386 systems with certain adapters using the mpt driver, and also running the hugemem kernel. (BZ#533798) - on certain hardware, the igb driver was unable to detect link statuses correctly. This may have caused problems for network bonding, such as failover not occurring. (BZ#534105) - the RHSA-2009:1024 update introduced a regression. After updating to Scientific Linux 4.8 and rebooting, network links often failed to be brought up for interfaces using the forcedeth driver.
