UNKNOWN Summary

Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
- Overflow Buffers Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
- Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
- Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
- MIME Conversion An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

(CVE-2009-4005) Additionally, the Linux kernel was updated to the stable release 2.6.27.45.

A local user could send a specially crafted IOCTL request that would cause a denial of service or, possibly, privilege escalation. (CVE-2009-3080, Important) * a flaw was found in the collect_rx_frame() function in the HiSax ISDN driver (hfc_usb) in the Linux kernel. An attacker could use this flaw to send a specially crafted HDLC packet that could trigger a buffer out of bounds, possibly resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2009-4005, Important) * permission issues were found in the megaraid_sas driver (for SAS based RAID controllers) in the Linux kernel.

Following security issues were fixed: CVE-2009-4536: A underflow in the e1000 jumbo ethernet frame handling could be use by link-local remote attackers to crash the machine or potentially execute code in kernel context. This requires the attacker to be able to send Jumbo Frames to the target machine. CVE-2009-4538: A underflow in the e1000e jumbo ethernet frame handling could be use by link-local remote attackers to crash the machine or potentially execute code in kernel context. This requires the attacker to be able to send Jumbo Frames to the target machine. CVE-2009-4138: drivers/firewire/ohci.c in the Linux kernel, when packet-per-buffer mode is used, allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unknown other impact via an unspecified ioctl associated with receiving an ISO packet that contains zero in the payload-length field. CVE-2009-4307: The ext4_fill_flex_info function in fs/ext4/super.c in the Linux kernel allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and panic) via a malformed ext4 filesystem containing a super block with a large FLEX_BG group size (aka s_log_groups_per_flex value). CVE-2009-4308: The ext4_decode_error function in fs/ext4/super.c in the ext4 filesystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.32 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference), and possibly have unspecified other impact, via a crafted read-only filesystem that lacks a journal. CVE-2009-3939: The poll_mode_io file for the megaraid_sas driver in the Linux kernel has world-writable permissions, which allows local users to change the I/O mode of the driver by modifying this file. CVE-2009-4005: The collect_rx_frame function in drivers/isdn/hisax/hfc_usb.c in the Linux kernel allows attackers to have an unspecified impact via a crafted HDLC packet that arrives over ISDN and triggers a buffer under-read. CVE-2009-3080: A negative offset in a ioctl in the GDTH RAID driver was fixed. CVE-2009-4020: Stack-based buffer overflow in the hfs subsystem in the Linux kernel allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via a crafted Hierarchical File System (HFS) filesystem, related to the hfs_readdir function in fs/hfs/dir.c. For a complete list of changes, please look at the RPM changelog. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 44034 published 2010-01-15 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2010-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/44034 title openSUSE Security Update : kernel (kernel-1749)

| statement | The Linux kernel as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, 5, and Red Hat Enterprise MRG did not include support for the HiSax ISDN driver for Colognechip HFC-S USB chip, and therefore were not affected by this issue. Issue was addressed in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 via https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2010-0076.html |
