    descriptionUpdated 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.

    NASL idSUSE_11_0_KERNEL-100203.NASL
    descriptionThis 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

    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'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; or (2) long Unicode
    characters, related to fs/cifs/cifssmb.c and the cifs_readdir function
    in fs/cifs/readdir.c."

    descriptionThis 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. (CVE-2010-0007)

    "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. 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. Attempting to configure
    WoL for such devices resulted in the following error, even when
    configuring valid options :
    
    'Cannot set new wake-on-lan settings: Operation not supported not
    setting wol'
    
    This update resolves this regression, and WoL now works as expected
    for network devices using the e1000e driver. (BZ#565496)
    
    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."

    descriptionThis 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.)

  • NASL familySuSE Local Security Checks
    NASL idSUSE_11_KERNEL-100108.NASL
    descriptionIndications 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. (CVE-2009-4020) For a complete list of changes, please look at the RPM changelog. Solution Please install the updates provided at the location noted below. Installation notes This update is provided as a set of RPM packages that can easily be installed onto a running system by using the YaST online update module.

    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-2009-3939 Joseph Malicki reported that the dbg_lvl sysfs attribute for the megaraid_sas device driver had world-writable permissions, permitting local users to modify logging settings. - CVE-2009-4027 Lennert Buytenhek reported a race in the mac80211 subsystem that may allow remote users to cause a denial of service (system crash) on a system connected to the same wireless network. - CVE-2009-4536 CVE-2009-4538 Fabian Yamaguchi reported issues in the e1000 and e1000e drivers for Intel gigabit network adapters which allow remote users to bypass packet filters using specially crafted ethernet frames. - CVE-2010-0003 Andi Kleen reported a defect which allows local users to gain read access to memory reachable by the kernel when the print-fatal-signals option is enabled. This option is disabled by default. - CVE-2010-0007 Florian Westphal reported a lack of capability checking in the ebtables netfilter subsystem. If the ebtables module is loaded, local users can add and modify ebtables rules. - CVE-2010-0291 Al Viro reported several issues with the mmap/mremap system calls that allow local users to cause a denial of service (system panic) or obtain elevated privileges. - CVE-2010-0298 & CVE-2010-0306 Gleb Natapov discovered issues in the KVM subsystem where missing permission checks (CPL/IOPL) permit a user in a guest system to denial of service a guest (system crash) or gain escalated privileges with the guest. - CVE-2010-0307 Mathias Krause reported an issue with the load_elf_binary code on the amd64 flavor kernels that allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash). - CVE-2010-0309 Marcelo Tosatti fixed an issue in the PIT emulation code in the KVM subsystem that allows privileged users in a guest domain to cause a denial of service (crash) of the host system. - CVE-2010-0410 Sebastian Krahmer discovered an issue in the netlink connector subsystem that permits local users to allocate large amounts of system memory resulting in a denial of service (out of memory). - CVE-2010-0415 Ramon de Carvalho Valle discovered an issue in the sys_move_pages interface, limited to amd64, ia64 and powerpc64 flavors in Debian. Local users can exploit this issue to cause a denial of service (system crash) or gain access to sensitive kernel memory.

    descriptionUpdated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues 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. 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 network cards supported by this driver could possibly result in a remote denial of service. (CVE-2009-4537, Important) 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.

    descriptionThe Linux kernel for openSUSE 11.2 was updated to 2.6.31.12 to fix the following bugs and security issues : - The permission of the devtmpfs root directory was incorrectly 1777 (instead of 755). If it was used, local attackers could escalate privileges. (openSUSE 11.2 does not use this filesystem by default). (CVE-2010-0299) - 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-2009-3939) - ebtables was lacking a CAP_NET_ADMIN check, making it possible for local unprivileged attackers to modify the network bridge management. (CVE-2010-0007) - An information leakage on fatal signals on x86_64 machines was fixed. (CVE-2010-0003) - A race condition in fasync handling could be used by local attackers to crash the machine or potentially execute code. (CVE-2009-4141) - The ipv6_hop_jumbo function in net/ipv6/exthdrs.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.32.4, when network namespaces are enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via an invalid IPv6 jumbogram. (CVE-2010-0006) - drivers/net/e1000/e1000_main.c in the e1000 driver in the Linux kernel 2.6.32.3 and earlier 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.

    NASL idSUSE_11_KERNEL-100223.NASL
    descriptionThe SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Kernel was updated to 2.6.27.45 fixing various bugs and security issues. - The wake_futex_pi function in kernel/futex.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.33-rc7 does not properly handle certain unlock operations for a Priority Inheritance (PI) futex, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) and possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors involving modification of the futex value from user space. (CVE-2010-0622) - The load_elf_binary function in fs/binfmt_elf.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.32.8 on the x86_64 platform does not ensure that the ELF interpreter is available before a call to the SET_PERSONALITY macro, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a 32-bit application that attempts to execute a 64-bit application and then triggers a segmentation fault, as demonstrated by amd64_killer, related to the flush_old_exec function. (CVE-2010-0307) - Users could send/allocate arbitrary amounts of NETLINK_CONNECTOR messages to the kernel, causing OOM condition, killing selected processes or halting the system. (CVE-2010-0410) - The do_pages_move function in mm/migrate.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.33-rc7 does not validate node values, which allows local users to read arbitrary kernel memory locations, cause a denial of service (OOPS), and possibly have unspecified other impact by specifying a node that is not part of the kernels node set. (CVE-2010-0415) - net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c in the ebtables module in the netfilter framework in the Linux kernel before 2.6.33-rc4 does not require the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for setting or modifying rules, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions and configure arbitrary network-traffic filtering via a modified ebtables application. (CVE-2010-0007) - drivers/net/e1000/e1000_main.c in the e1000 driver in the Linux kernel 2.6.32.3 and earlier 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 2.6.32.3 and earlier 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) - The print_fatal_signal function in kernel/signal.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.32.4 on the i386 platform, when print-fatal-signals is enabled, allows local users to discover the contents of arbitrary memory locations by jumping to an address and then reading a log file, and might allow local users to cause a denial of service (system slowdown or crash) by jumping to an address. (CVE-2010-0003) - 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.

    titleSuSE 10 Security Update : the debug kernel (ZYPP Patch Number 6778)
  • NASL familyRed Hat Local Security Checks
    NASL idREDHAT-RHSA-2010-0148.NASL
    descriptionUpdated kernel packages that fix two security issues and several bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 Extended Update Support. 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 ip6_dst_lookup_tail() function in the Linux kernel. An attacker on the local network could trigger this flaw by sending IPv6 traffic to a target system, leading to a system crash (kernel OOPS) if dst->neighbour is NULL on the target system when receiving an IPv6 packet. (CVE-2010-0437, Important) This update also fixes the following bugs : * programs compiled on x86, and that also call sched_rr_get_interval(), were silently corrupted when run on 64-bit systems. With this update, when such programs attempt to call sched_rr_get_interval() on 64-bit systems, sys32_sched_rr_get_interval() is called instead, which resolves this issue. (BZ#557682) * the fix for CVE-2009-4538 provided by RHSA-2010:0079 introduced a regression, preventing Wake on LAN (WoL) working for network devices using the Intel PRO/1000 Linux driver, e1000e. Attempting to configure WoL for such devices resulted in the following error, even when configuring valid options :

    descriptionUpdated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues 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. 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 network cards supported by this driver could possibly result in a remote denial of service. (CVE-2009-4537, Important) 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.

    NASL idSUSE_11_1_KERNEL-100107.NASL
    descriptionThe openSUSE 11.1 Kernel was updated to 2.6.27.42 fixing various bugs and security issues. 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.
