UNKNOWN Summary
The cfg80211_wext_giwessid function in net/wireless/wext-compat.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36-rc3-next-20100831 does not properly initialize certain structure members, which allows local users to leverage an off-by-one error in the ioctl_standard_iw_point function in net/wireless/wext-core.c, and obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel heap memory, via vectors involving an SIOCGIWESSID ioctl call that specifies a large buffer size.

NASL family Scientific Linux Local Security Checks NASL id SL_20101110_KERNEL_ON_SL6_X.NASL description This update fixes the following security issues : - Missing sanity checks in the Intel i915 driver in the Linux kernel could allow a local, unprivileged user to escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-2962, Important) - compat_alloc_user_space() in the Linux kernel 32/64-bit compatibility layer implementation was missing sanity checks. This function could be abused in other areas of the Linux kernel if its length argument can be controlled from user-space. On 64-bit systems, a local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-3081, Important) - A buffer overflow flaw in niu_get_ethtool_tcam_all() in the niu Ethernet driver in the Linux kernel, could allow a local user to cause a denial of service or escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-3084, Important) - A flaw in the IA32 system call emulation provided in 64-bit Linux kernels could allow a local user to escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-3301, Important) - A flaw in sctp_packet_config() in the Linux kernel last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 60893 published 2012-08-01 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2012-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/60893 title Scientific Linux Security Update : kernel on SL6.x i386/x86_64 code #%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 80502 # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text is (C) Scientific Linux. # include("compat.inc"); if (description) { script_id(60893); script_version("1.12"); script_cvs_date("Date: 2019/10/25 13:36:19"); script_cve_id("CVE-2010-2803", "CVE-2010-2955", "CVE-2010-2962", "CVE-2010-3079", "CVE-2010-3081", "CVE-2010-3084", "CVE-2010-3301", "CVE-2010-3432", "CVE-2010-3437", "CVE-2010-3442", "CVE-2010-3698", "CVE-2010-3705", "CVE-2010-3904"); script_name(english:"Scientific Linux Security Update : kernel on SL6.x i386/x86_64"); script_summary(english:"Checks rpm output for the updated packages"); script_set_attribute( attribute:"synopsis", value: "The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security updates." ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"description", value: "This update fixes the following security issues : - Missing sanity checks in the Intel i915 driver in the Linux kernel could allow a local, unprivileged user to escalate their privileges.

(CVE-2010-3301, Important) - A flaw in sctp_packet_config() in the Linux kernel's Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) implementation could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2010-3432, Important) - A missing integer overflow check in snd_ctl_new() in the Linux kernel's sound subsystem could allow a local, unprivileged user on a 32-bit system to cause a denial of service or escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-3442, Important) - A flaw was found in sctp_auth_asoc_get_hmac() in the Linux kernel's SCTP implementation. When iterating through the hmac_ids array, it did not reset the last id element if it was out of range. This could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2010-3705, Important) - A function in the Linux kernel's Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS) protocol implementation was missing sanity checks, which could allow a local, unprivileged user to escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-3904, Important) - A flaw in drm_ioctl() in the Linux kernel's Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) implementation could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause an information leak. (CVE-2010-2803, Moderate) - It was found that wireless drivers might not always clear allocated buffers when handling a driver-specific IOCTL information request. A local user could trigger this flaw to cause an information leak. (CVE-2010-2955, Moderate) - A NULL pointer dereference flaw in ftrace_regex_lseek() in the Linux kernel's ftrace implementation could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service. Note: The debugfs file system must be mounted locally to exploit this issue. It is not mounted by default. (CVE-2010-3079, Moderate) - A flaw in the Linux kernel's packet writing driver could be triggered via the PKT_CTRL_CMD_STATUS IOCTL request, possibly allowing a local, unprivileged user with access to '/dev/pktcdvd/control' to cause an information leak. Note: By default, only users in the cdrom group have access to '/dev/pktcdvd/control'. (CVE-2010-3437, Moderate) - A flaw was found in the way KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) handled the reloading of fs and gs segment registers when they had invalid selectors. A privileged host user with access to '/dev/kvm' could use this flaw to crash the host. (CVE-2010-3698, Moderate) This update also fixes several bugs.

The following security issues were fixed : - Multiple integer signedness errors in net/rose/af_rose.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a rose_getname function call, related to the rose_bind and rose_connect functions. (CVE-2010-3310) - A kernel information leak via the WEXT ioctl was fixed. (CVE-2010-2955) - A double free in an alsa error path was fixed, which could lead to kernel crashes. (CVE-2010-3080) - Fixed a kernel information leak in the xfs filesystem. (CVE-2010-3078) - Fixed a kernel information leak in the cxgb3 driver. (CVE-2010-3296) - Fixed a kernel information leak in the net/eql driver. (CVE-2010-3297) - The irda_bind function in net/irda/af_irda.c in the Linux kernel did not properly handle failure of the irda_open_tsap function, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and panic) and possibly have unspecified other impact via multiple unsuccessful calls to bind on an AF_IRDA (aka PF_IRDA) socket.
