Summary

The keyctl_session_to_parent function in security/keys/keyctl.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.35.4 and earlier expects that a certain parent session keyring exists, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT argument to the keyctl function.

    NASL idSUSE_11_3_KERNEL-100921.NASL
    descriptionThis update of the openSUSE 11.3 kernel fixes two local root exploits, various other security issues and some bugs. Following security issues are fixed by this update: CVE-2010-3301: Mismatch between 32bit and 64bit register usage in the system call entry path could be used by local attackers to gain root privileges. This problem only affects x86_64 kernels. CVE-2010-3081: 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-2010-3084: A buffer overflow in the ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL code could be used to crash the kernel or potentially execute code. CVE-2010-2955: A kernel information leak via the WEXT ioctl was fixed. CVE-2010-2960: The keyctl_session_to_parent function in security/keys/keyctl.c in the Linux kernel expects that a certain parent session keyring exists, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT argument to the keyctl function. CVE-2010-3080: A double free in an alsa error path was fixed, which could lead to kernel crashes. CVE-2010-3079: Fixed a ftrace NULL pointer dereference problem which could lead to kernel crashes. CVE-2010-3298: Fixed a kernel information leak in the net/usb/hso driver. CVE-2010-3296: Fixed a kernel information leak in the cxgb3 driver. CVE-2010-3297: Fixed a kernel information leak in the net/eql driver.

  - Fixes some additional suspend/resume bugs by disabling
    asynchronous suspend.

    - Solves problems with devices not working that were
      caused by 2.6.34's default usage of ACPI to determine
      bridge resources. (This means the workaround of adding
      'pci=nocrs' should no longer be needed.)

    descriptionThis openSUSE 11.2 kernel was updated to 2.6.31.14, fixing several security issues and bugs. A lot of ext4 filesystem stability fixes were also added. Following security issues have been fixed: CVE-2010-3301: Mismatch between 32bit and 64bit register usage in the system call entry path could be used by local attackers to gain root privileges. This problem only affects x86_64 kernels. CVE-2010-3081: 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-2010-3084: A buffer overflow in the ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL code could be used to crash the kernel or potentially execute code. CVE-2010-2955: A kernel information leak via the WEXT ioctl was fixed. CVE-2010-2960: The keyctl_session_to_parent function in security/keys/keyctl.c in the Linux kernel expects that a certain parent session keyring exists, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT argument to the keyctl function. CVE-2010-3080: A double free in an alsa error path was fixed, which could lead to kernel crashes. CVE-2010-3079: Fixed a ftrace NULL pointer dereference problem which could lead to kernel crashes. CVE-2010-3298: Fixed a kernel information leak in the net/usb/hso driver. CVE-2010-3296: Fixed a kernel information leak in the cxgb3 driver. CVE-2010-3297: Fixed a kernel information leak in the net/eql driver. CVE-2010-3078: Fixed a kernel information leak in the xfs filesystem. CVE-2010-2942: Fixed a kernel information leak in the net scheduler code. CVE-2010-2954: 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. CVE-2010-2226: 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.
