Summary

The actions implementation in the network queueing functionality in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36-rc2 does not properly initialize certain structure members when performing dump operations, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory via vectors related to (1) the tcf_gact_dump function in net/sched/act_gact.c, (2) the tcf_mirred_dump function in net/sched/act_mirred.c, (3) the tcf_nat_dump function in net/sched/act_nat.c, (4) the tcf_simp_dump function in net/sched/act_simple.c, and (5) the tcf_skbedit_dump function in net/sched/act_skbedit.c.

    NASL idSUSE9_12646.NASL
    descriptionThis updates the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 kernel to fix various security issues and some bugs. The following security bugs were fixed : - Incorrect buffer handling in the biarch-compat buffer handling could be used by local attackers to gain root privileges. This problem affects foremost x86_64, or potentially other biarch platforms, like PowerPC and S390x. (CVE-2010-3081) - A kernel information leak via the WEXT ioctl was fixed. (CVE-2010-2955) - A kernel information leak via the XFS filesystem was fixed. (CVE-2010-3078) - A kernel information leak in the net eql code was fixed. (CVE-2010-3297) - The xfs_swapext function in fs/xfs/xfs_dfrag.c in the Linux kernel did not properly check the file descriptors passed to the SWAPEXT ioctl, which allowed local users to leverage write access and obtain read access by swapping one file into another file. (CVE-2010-2226) - Fixed a kernel information leak in the net scheduler code. (CVE-2010-2942) - fs/cifs/cifssmb.c in the CIFS implementation in the Linux kernel allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) via an SMB response packet with an invalid CountHigh value, as demonstrated by a response from an OS/2 server, related to the CIFSSMBWrite and CIFSSMBWrite2 functions. (CVE-2010-2248) Additionally a data corruption bug in s390 was fixed : - A race between /proc/pid/stat and fork in the S390 kernel could lead to data corruption.

    descriptionFrom Red Hat Security Advisory 2010:0779 : 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 moderate 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 : * Information leak flaws were found in the Linux kernel Traffic Control Unit implementation. A local attacker could use these flaws to cause the kernel to leak kernel memory to user-space, possibly leading to the disclosure of sensitive information. (CVE-2010-2942, Moderate) * A flaw was found in the tcf_act_police_dump() function in the Linux kernel network traffic policing implementation. A data structure in tcf_act_police_dump() was not initialized properly before being copied to user-space. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause an information leak. (CVE-2010-3477, Moderate) * A missing upper bound integer check was found in the sys_io_submit() function in the Linux kernel asynchronous I/O implementation. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause an information leak. (CVE-2010-3067, Low) Red Hat would like to thank Tavis Ormandy for reporting CVE-2010-3067. This update also fixes the following bugs : * When two systems using bonding devices in the adaptive load balancing (ALB) mode communicated with each other, an endless loop of ARP replies started between these two systems due to a faulty MAC address update. With this update, the MAC address update no longer creates unneeded ARP replies. (BZ#629239) * When running the Connectathon NFS Testsuite with certain clients and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.8 as the server, nfsvers4, lock, and test2 failed the Connectathon test. (BZ#625535) * For UDP/UNIX domain sockets, due to insufficient memory barriers in the network code, a process sleeping in select() may have missed notifications about new data. In rare cases, this bug may have caused a process to sleep forever. (BZ#640117) * In certain situations, a bug found in either the HTB or TBF network packet schedulers in the Linux kernel could have caused a kernel panic when using Broadcom network cards with the bnx2 driver. (BZ#624363) * Previously, allocating fallback cqr for DASD reserve/release IOCTLs failed because it used the memory pool of the respective device. This update preallocates sufficient memory for a single reserve/release request. (BZ#626828) * In some situations a bug prevented

    descriptionUpdated 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 moderate 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 : * Information leak flaws were found in the Linux kernel Traffic Control Unit implementation. A local attacker could use these flaws to cause the kernel to leak kernel memory to user-space, possibly leading to the disclosure of sensitive information. (CVE-2010-2942, Moderate) * A flaw was found in the tcf_act_police_dump() function in the Linux kernel network traffic policing implementation. A data structure in tcf_act_police_dump() was not initialized properly before being copied to user-space. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause an information leak. (CVE-2010-3477, Moderate) * A missing upper bound integer check was found in the sys_io_submit() function in the Linux kernel asynchronous I/O implementation. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause an information leak. (CVE-2010-3067, Low) Red Hat would like to thank Tavis Ormandy for reporting CVE-2010-3067. This update also fixes the following bugs : * When two systems using bonding devices in the adaptive load balancing (ALB) mode communicated with each other, an endless loop of ARP replies started between these two systems due to a faulty MAC address update. With this update, the MAC address update no longer creates unneeded ARP replies. (BZ#629239) * When running the Connectathon NFS Testsuite with certain clients and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.8 as the server, nfsvers4, lock, and test2 failed the Connectathon test. (BZ#625535) * For UDP/UNIX domain sockets, due to insufficient memory barriers in the network code, a process sleeping in select() may have missed notifications about new data. In rare cases, this bug may have caused a process to sleep forever. (BZ#640117) * In certain situations, a bug found in either the HTB or TBF network packet schedulers in the Linux kernel could have caused a kernel panic when using Broadcom network cards with the bnx2 driver. (BZ#624363) * Previously, allocating fallback cqr for DASD reserve/release IOCTLs failed because it used the memory pool of the respective device. This update preallocates sufficient memory for a single reserve/release request. (BZ#626828) * In some situations a bug prevented

    "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
    moderate 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 :
    
    * Information leak flaws were found in the Linux kernel Traffic
    Control Unit implementation. A local attacker could use these flaws to
    cause the kernel to leak kernel memory to user-space, possibly leading
    to the disclosure of sensitive information. (CVE-2010-2942, Moderate)
    
    * A flaw was found in the tcf_act_police_dump() function in the Linux
    kernel network traffic policing implementation. A data structure in
    tcf_act_police_dump() was not initialized properly before being copied
    to user-space. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause
    an information leak. (CVE-2010-3477, Moderate)
    
    * A missing upper bound integer check was found in the sys_io_submit()
    function in the Linux kernel asynchronous I/O implementation. A local,
    unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause an information leak.
    (CVE-2010-3067, Low)
    
    Red Hat would like to thank Tavis Ormandy for reporting CVE-2010-3067.
    
    This update also fixes the following bugs :
    
    * When two systems using bonding devices in the adaptive load
    balancing (ALB) mode communicated with each other, an endless loop of
    ARP replies started between these two systems due to a faulty MAC
    address update. With this update, the MAC address update no longer
    creates unneeded ARP replies. (BZ#629239)
    
    * When running the Connectathon NFS Testsuite with certain clients and
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.8 as the server, nfsvers4, lock, and test2
    failed the Connectathon test. (BZ#625535)
    
    * For UDP/UNIX domain sockets, due to insufficient memory barriers in
    the network code, a process sleeping in select() may have missed
    notifications about new data. In rare cases, this bug may have caused
    a process to sleep forever. (BZ#640117)
    
    * In certain situations, a bug found in either the HTB or TBF network
    packet schedulers in the Linux kernel could have caused a kernel panic
    when using Broadcom network cards with the bnx2 driver. (BZ#624363)
    
    * Previously, allocating fallback cqr for DASD reserve/release IOCTLs
    failed because it used the memory pool of the respective device. This
    update preallocates sufficient memory for a single reserve/release
    request. (BZ#626828)
    
    * In some situations a bug prevented 'force online' succeeding for a
    DASD device. (BZ#626827)
    
    * Using the 'fsstress' utility may have caused a kernel panic.
    (BZ#633968)
    
    * This update introduces additional stack guard patches. (BZ#632515)
    
    * A bug was found in the way the megaraid_sas driver handled physical
    disks and management IOCTLs. All physical disks were exported to the
    disk layer, allowing an oops in megasas_complete_cmd_dpc() when
    completing the IOCTL command if a timeout occurred. (BZ#631903)
    
    * Previously, a warning message was returned when a large amount of
    messages was passed through netconsole and a considerable amount of
    network load was added. With this update, the warning message is no
    longer displayed. (BZ#637729)
    
    * Executing a large 'dd' command (1 to 5GB) on an iSCSI device with
    the qla3xxx driver caused a system crash due to the incorrect storing
    of a private data structure. With this update, the size of the stored
    data structure is checked and the system crashes no longer occur.
    (BZ#624364)
    
    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."

    "From Red Hat Security Advisory 2010:0723 :
    
    Updated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues and several
    bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
    
    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 buffer overflow flaw was found in the ecryptfs_uid_hash() function
    in the Linux kernel eCryptfs implementation. On systems that have the
    eCryptfs netlink transport (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 does) or where
    the '/dev/ecryptfs' file has world-writable permissions (which it does
    not, by default, on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5), a local, unprivileged
    user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service or possibly
    escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-2492, Important)
    
    * A miscalculation of the size of the free space of the initial
    directory entry in a directory leaf block was found in the Linux
    kernel Global File System 2 (GFS2) implementation. A local,
    unprivileged user with write access to a GFS2-mounted file system
    could perform a rename operation on that file system to trigger a NULL
    pointer dereference, possibly resulting in a denial of service or
    privilege escalation. (CVE-2010-2798, Important)
    
    * A flaw was found in the Xen hypervisor implementation when running a
    system that has an Intel CPU without Extended Page Tables (EPT)
    support. While attempting to dump information about a crashing
    fully-virtualized guest, the flaw could cause the hypervisor to crash
    the host as well. A user with permissions to configure a
    fully-virtualized guest system could use this flaw to crash the host.
    (CVE-2010-2938, Moderate)
    
    * Information leak flaws were found in the Linux kernel's Traffic
    Control Unit implementation. A local attacker could use these flaws to
    cause the kernel to leak kernel memory to user-space, possibly leading
    to the disclosure of sensitive information. (CVE-2010-2942, Moderate)
    
    * A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's XFS file system
    implementation. The file handle lookup could return an invalid inode
    as valid. If an XFS file system was mounted via NFS (Network File
    System), a local attacker could access stale data or overwrite
    existing data that reused the inodes. (CVE-2010-2943, Moderate)
    
    * An integer overflow flaw was found in the extent range checking code
    in the Linux kernel's ext4 file system implementation. A local,
    unprivileged user with write access to an ext4-mounted file system
    could trigger this flaw by writing to a file at a very large file
    offset, resulting in a local denial of service. (CVE-2010-3015,
    Moderate)
    
    * An information leak flaw was found in the Linux kernel's USB
    implementation. Certain USB errors could result in an uninitialized
    kernel buffer being sent to user-space. An attacker with physical
    access to a target system could use this flaw to cause an information
    leak. (CVE-2010-1083, Low)
    
    Red Hat would like to thank Andre Osterhues for reporting
    CVE-2010-2492; Grant Diffey of CenITex for reporting CVE-2010-2798;
    Toshiyuki Okajima for reporting CVE-2010-3015; and Marcus Meissner for
    reporting CVE-2010-1083.
    
    This update also fixes several bugs. Documentation for these bug fixes
    will be available shortly from the Technical Notes document linked to
    in the References.

    descriptionThis update fixes the following security issues : - Information leak flaws were found in the Linux kernel Traffic Control Unit implementation. A local attacker could use these flaws to cause the kernel to leak kernel memory to user-space, possibly leading to the disclosure of sensitive information. (CVE-2010-2942, Moderate) - A flaw was found in the tcf_act_police_dump() function in the Linux kernel network traffic policing implementation. A data structure in tcf_act_police_dump() was not initialized properly before being copied to user-space. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause an information leak. (CVE-2010-3477, Moderate) - A missing upper bound integer check was found in the sys_io_submit() function in the Linux kernel asynchronous I/O implementation. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause an information leak. (CVE-2010-3067, Low) This update also fixes the following bugs : - When two systems using bonding devices in the adaptive load balancing (ALB) mode communicated with each other, an endless loop of ARP replies started between these two systems due to a faulty MAC address update. With this update, the MAC address update no longer creates unneeded ARP replies. (BZ#629239) - When running the Connectathon NFS Testsuite with certain clients and Scientific Linux 4.8 as the server, nfsvers4, lock, and test2 failed the Connectathon test. (BZ#625535) - For UDP/UNIX domain sockets, due to insufficient memory barriers in the network code, a process sleeping in select() may have missed notifications about new data. In rare cases, this bug may have caused a process to sleep forever. (BZ#640117) - In certain situations, a bug found in either the HTB or TBF network packet schedulers in the Linux kernel could have caused a kernel panic when using Broadcom network cards with the bnx2 driver. (BZ#624363) - Previously, allocating fallback cqr for DASD reserve/release IOCTLs failed because it used the memory pool of the respective device.
