NASL family Red Hat Local Security Checks NASL id REDHAT-RHSA-2010-0053.NASL description Updated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues and two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 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) * 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) This update also fixes the following bugs : * on certain hardware, the igb driver was unable to detect link statuses correctly for Serializer-Deserializer (SERDES) interface Ethernet ports. This may have caused problems for network interface bonding, such as failover not occurring. (BZ#548023) * in certain situations, kdump occasionally dumped a vmcore file with no registers on Intel Itanium systems that were under high disk I/O load. In these cases, this prevented the kernel stack backtrace in the vmcore from being viewed with the crash utility. (BZ#542581) 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. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 63913 published 2013-01-24 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2013-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/63913 title RHEL 5 : kernel (RHSA-2010:0053) code #%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 80502 # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from Red Hat Security Advisory RHSA-2010:0053.

NASL family SuSE Local Security Checks NASL id SUSE_11_0_KERNEL-100203.NASL description This kernel update for openSUSE 11.0 fixes some bugs and several security problems. The following security issues are fixed: CVE-2009-4536: drivers/net/e1000/e1000_main.c in the e1000 driver in the Linux kernel handles Ethernet frames that exceed the MTU by processing certain trailing payload data as if it were a complete frame, which allows remote attackers to bypass packet filters via a large packet with a crafted payload. CVE-2009-4538: drivers/net/e1000e/netdev.c in the e1000e driver in the Linux kernel does not properly check the size of an Ethernet frame that exceeds the MTU, which allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via crafted packets. CVE-2010-0007: Missing CAP_NET_ADMIN checks in the ebtables netfilter code might have allowed local attackers to modify bridge firewall settings. CVE-2010-0003: An information leakage on fatal signals on x86_64 machines was fixed. 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-2009-4308: 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 2.6.31.6 and earlier has world-writable permissions, which allows local users to change the I/O mode of the driver by modifying this file. CVE-2009-4021: The fuse_direct_io function in fs/fuse/file.c in the fuse subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.32-rc7 might allow attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference and OOPS) via vectors possibly related to a memory-consumption attack. CVE-2009-3547: A race condition in the pipe(2) systemcall could be used by local attackers to hang the machine. The kernel in Moblin 2.0 uses NULL ptr protection which avoids code execution possbilities. CVE-2009-2903: Memory leak in the appletalk subsystem in the Linux kernel 2.4.x through 2.4.37.6 and 2.6.x through 2.6.31, when the appletalk and ipddp modules are loaded but the ipddp last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 44621 published 2010-02-16 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2010-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/44621 title openSUSE Security Update : kernel (kernel-1908) 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-1908. # # The text description of this plugin is (C) SUSE LLC. # include("compat.inc"); if (description) { script_id(44621); script_version("1.15"); script_cvs_date("Date: 2019/10/25 13:36:37"); script_cve_id("CVE-2009-1633", "CVE-2009-2848", "CVE-2009-2903", "CVE-2009-2910", "CVE-2009-3002", "CVE-2009-3238", "CVE-2009-3286", "CVE-2009-3547", "CVE-2009-3612", "CVE-2009-3620", "CVE-2009-3621", "CVE-2009-3726", "CVE-2009-3939", "CVE-2009-4021", "CVE-2009-4138", "CVE-2009-4308", "CVE-2009-4536", "CVE-2009-4538", "CVE-2010-0003", "CVE-2010-0007"); script_name(english:"openSUSE Security Update : kernel (kernel-1908)"); script_summary(english:"Check for the kernel-1908 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.

CVE-2009-2903: Memory leak in the appletalk subsystem in the Linux kernel 2.4.x through 2.4.37.6 and 2.6.x through 2.6.31, when the appletalk and ipddp modules are loaded but the ipddp'N' device is not found, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via IP-DDP datagrams. CVE-2009-3621: net/unix/af_unix.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.31.4 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang) by creating an abstract-namespace AF_UNIX listening socket, performing a shutdown operation on this socket, and then performing a series of connect operations to this socket. CVE-2009-3612: The tcf_fill_node function in net/sched/cls_api.c in the netlink subsystem in the Linux kernel 2.6.x before 2.6.32-rc5, and 2.4.37.6 and earlier, does not initialize a certain tcm__pad2 structure member, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via unspecified vectors. CVE-2009-3620: The ATI Rage 128 (aka r128) driver in the Linux kernel before 2.6.31-git11 does not properly verify Concurrent Command Engine (CCE) state initialization, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly gain privileges via unspecified ioctl calls. CVE-2009-3726: The nfs4_proc_lock function in fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c in the NFSv4 client in the Linux kernel before 2.6.31-rc4 allows remote NFS servers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and panic) by sending a certain response containing incorrect file attributes, which trigger attempted use of an open file that lacks NFSv4 state. CVE-2009-3286: NFSv4 in the Linux kernel 2.6.18, and possibly other versions, does not properly clean up an inode when an O_EXCL create fails, which causes files to be created with insecure settings such as setuid bits, and possibly allows local users to gain privileges, related to the execution of the do_open_permission function even when a create fails. CVE-2009-2910: arch/x86/ia32/ia32entry.S in the Linux kernel before 2.6.31.4 on the x86_64 platform does not clear certain kernel registers before a return to user mode, which allows local users to read register values from an earlier process by switching an ia32 process to 64-bit mode. CVE-2009-3238: The get_random_int function in drivers/char/random.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.30 produces insufficiently random numbers, which allows attackers to predict the return value, and possibly defeat protection mechanisms based on randomization, via vectors that leverage the function's tendency to 'return the same value over and over again for long stretches of time.' CVE-2009-2848: The execve function in the Linux kernel, possibly 2.6.30-rc6 and earlier, does not properly clear the current->clear_child_tid pointer, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly gain privileges via a clone system call with CLONE_CHILD_SETTID or CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID enabled, which is not properly handled during thread creation and exit. CVE-2009-3002: The Linux kernel before 2.6.31-rc7 does not initialize certain data structures within getname functions, which allows local users to read the contents of some kernel memory locations by calling getsockname on (1) an AF_APPLETALK socket, related to the atalk_getname function in net/appletalk/ddp.c; (2) an AF_IRDA socket, related to the irda_getname function in net/irda/af_irda.c; (3) an AF_ECONET socket, related to the econet_getname function in net/econet/af_econet.c; (4) an AF_NETROM socket, related to the nr_getname function in net/netrom/af_netrom.c; (5) an AF_ROSE socket, related to the rose_getname function in net/rose/af_rose.c; or (6) a raw CAN socket, related to the raw_getname function in net/can/raw.c. CVE-2009-1633: Multiple buffer overflows in the cifs subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.29.4 allow remote CIFS servers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) and possibly have unspecified other impact via (1) a malformed Unicode string, related to Unicode string area alignment in fs/cifs/sess.c;

NASL family SuSE Local Security Checks NASL id SUSE_KERNEL-6779.NASL description This update fixes various bugs and some security issues in the SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP 3 kernel. The following security issues were fixed : - drivers/net/e1000/e1000_main.c in the e1000 driver in the Linux kernel handles Ethernet frames that exceed the MTU by processing certain trailing payload data as if it were a complete frame, which allows remote attackers to bypass packet filters via a large packet with a crafted payload. (CVE-2009-4536) - drivers/net/e1000e/netdev.c in the e1000e driver in the Linux kernel does not properly check the size of an Ethernet frame that exceeds the MTU, which allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via crafted packets. (CVE-2009-4538) - Missing CAP_NET_ADMIN checks in the ebtables netfilter code might have allowed local attackers to modify bridge firewall settings.

NASL family CentOS Local Security Checks NASL id CENTOS_RHSA-2010-0146.NASL description Updated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues and several bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. 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 the sctp_rcv_ootb() function in the Linux kernel Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) implementation. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted SCTP packet to a target system, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2010-0008, Important) * a NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel. During a core dump, the kernel did not check if the Virtual Dynamically-linked Shared Object page was accessible. On Intel 64 and AMD64 systems, a local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a kernel panic by running a crafted 32-bit application. (CVE-2009-4271, Important) * an information leak was found in the print_fatal_signal() implementation in the Linux kernel.

(CVE-2009-4271, Important) * an information leak was found in the print_fatal_signal() implementation in the Linux kernel. When '/proc/sys/kernel/print-fatal-signals' is set to 1 (the default value is 0), memory that is reachable by the kernel could be leaked to user-space. This issue could also result in a system crash. Note that this flaw only affected the i386 architecture. (CVE-2010-0003, Moderate) * on AMD64 systems, it was discovered that the kernel did not ensure the ELF interpreter was available before making a call to the SET_PERSONALITY macro. A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service by running a 32-bit application that attempts to execute a 64-bit application. (CVE-2010-0307, Moderate) * missing capability checks were found in the ebtables implementation, used for creating an Ethernet bridge firewall. This could allow a local, unprivileged user to bypass intended capability restrictions and modify ebtables rules. (CVE-2010-0007, Low) This update also fixes the following bugs : * under some circumstances, a locking bug could have caused an online ext3 file system resize to deadlock, which may have, in turn, caused the file system or the entire system to become unresponsive. In either case, a reboot was required after the deadlock. With this update, using resize2fs to perform an online resize of an ext3 file system works as expected. (BZ#553135) * some ATA and SCSI devices were not honoring the barrier=1 mount option, which could result in data loss after a crash or power loss. This update applies a patch to the Linux SCSI driver to ensure ordered write caching. This solution does not provide cache flushes; however, it does provide data integrity on devices that have no write caching (or where write caching is disabled) and no command queuing. For systems that have command queuing or write cache enabled there is no guarantee of data integrity after a crash. (BZ#560563) * it was found that lpfc_find_target() could loop continuously when scanning a list of nodes due to a missing spinlock. This missing spinlock allowed the list to be changed after the list_empty() test, resulting in a NULL value, causing the loop. This update adds the spinlock, resolving the issue. (BZ#561453) * the fix for CVE-2009-4538 provided by RHSA-2010:0020 introduced a regression, preventing Wake on LAN (WoL) working for network devices using the Intel PRO/1000 Linux driver, e1000e.

NASL family SuSE Local Security Checks NASL id SUSE_KERNEL-6810.NASL description This update fixes a several security issues and various bugs in the SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP 2 kernel. The following security issues were fixed : - Two sysfs filers in the qla2xxx driver were worldwriteable, so users could change SCSI attributes of the qla2xxx driver. CVE-2009-4536: drivers/net/e1000/e1000_main.c in the e1000 driver in the Linux kernel handles Ethernet frames that exceed the MTU by processing certain trailing payload data as if it were a complete frame, which allows remote attackers to bypass packet filters via a large packet with a crafted payload. (CVE-2009-3556) (The e1000e driver is not included in the SLES 10 SP2 kernel, so CVE-2009-4538 does not affect this kernel.) last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 59145 published 2012-05-17 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2012-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/59145 title SuSE 10 Security Update : Linux kernel (ZYPP Patch Number 6810) NASL family SuSE Local Security Checks NASL id SUSE_11_KERNEL-100108.NASL description Indications Everyone using the Linux Kernel on x86_64 architecture should update. Contraindications None. Problem description The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Kernel was updated to 2.6.27.42 fixing various bugs and security issues. The following security issues were fixed : - 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-2009-4536) - 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-2009-4538) - 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-2009-4138) - 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-2009-4307) - 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-2009-4308) - 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-2009-3939) - 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-2009-4005) - A negative offset in a ioctl in the GDTH RAID driver was fixed. (CVE-2009-3080) - 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.
