Summary

Multiple integer signedness errors in the TIPC implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36.2 allow local users to gain privileges via a crafted sendmsg call that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow, related to the tipc_msg_build function in net/tipc/msg.c and the verify_iovec function in net/core/iovec.c.

    "From Red Hat Security Advisory 2011:0162 :
    
    Updated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues and two 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 heap overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Transparent
    Inter-Process Communication protocol (TIPC) implementation. A local,
    unprivileged user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges.
    (CVE-2010-3859, Important)
    
    * Missing sanity checks were found in gdth_ioctl_alloc() in the gdth
    driver in the Linux kernel. A local user with access to '/dev/gdth' on
    a 64-bit system could use these flaws to cause a denial of service or
    escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-4157, Moderate)
    
    * A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Bluetooth HCI UART
    driver in the Linux kernel. A local, unprivileged user could use this
    flaw to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4242, Moderate)
    
    * A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's garbage collector for AF_UNIX
    sockets. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to trigger a
    denial of service (out-of-memory condition). (CVE-2010-4249, Moderate)
    
    * Missing initialization flaws were found in the Linux kernel. A
    local, unprivileged user could use these flaws to cause information
    leaks. (CVE-2010-3876, CVE-2010-4072, CVE-2010-4073, CVE-2010-4075,
    CVE-2010-4080, CVE-2010-4083, CVE-2010-4158, Low)
    
    Red Hat would like to thank Alan Cox for reporting CVE-2010-4242;
    Vegard Nossum for reporting CVE-2010-4249; Vasiliy Kulikov for
    reporting CVE-2010-3876; Kees Cook for reporting CVE-2010-4072; and
    Dan Rosenberg for reporting CVE-2010-4073, CVE-2010-4075,
    CVE-2010-4080, CVE-2010-4083, and CVE-2010-4158.
    
    This update also fixes the following bugs :
    
    * A flaw was found in the Linux kernel where, if used in conjunction
    with another flaw that can result in a kernel Oops, could possibly
    lead to privilege escalation. It does not affect Red Hat Enterprise
    Linux 4 as the sysctl panic_on_oops variable is turned on by default.
    However, as a preventive measure if the variable is turned off by an
    administrator, this update addresses the issue. Red Hat would like to
    thank Nelson Elhage for reporting this vulnerability. (BZ#659568)
    
    * On Intel I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) hardware, jumbo frame support
    is achieved by using page-based sk_buff buffers without any packet
    split. The entire frame data is copied to the page(s) rather than some
    to the skb->data area and some to the page(s) when performing a
    typical packet-split. This caused problems with the filtering code and
    frames were getting dropped before they were received by listening
    applications. This bug could eventually lead to the IP address being
    released and not being able to be re-acquired from DHCP if the MTU
    (Maximum Transfer Unit) was changed (for an affected interface using
    the e1000e driver). With this update, frames are no longer dropped and
    an IP address is correctly re-acquired after a previous release.
    (BZ#664667)
    
    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."

      - CVE-2010-2963
        Kees Cook discovered an issue in the v4l 32-bit
        compatibility layer for 64-bit systems that allows local
        users with /dev/video write permission to overwrite

        privilege escalation. On Debian systems, access to
        /dev/video devices is restricted to members of the
        'video' group by default.
    
      - CVE-2010-3067
        Tavis Ormandy discovered an issue in the io_submit
        system call. Local users can cause an integer overflow
        resulting in a denial of service.
    
      - CVE-2010-3296
        Dan Rosenberg discovered an issue in the cxgb network
        driver that allows unprivileged users to obtain the
        contents of sensitive kernel memory.
    
      - CVE-2010-3297
        Dan Rosenberg discovered an issue in the eql network
        driver that allows local users to obtain the contents of
        sensitive kernel memory.
    
      - CVE-2010-3310
        Dan Rosenberg discovered an issue in the ROSE socket
        implementation. On systems with a rose device, local
        users can cause a denial of service (kernel memory
        corruption).
    
      - CVE-2010-3432
        Thomas Dreibholz discovered an issue in the SCTP
        protocol that permits a remote user to cause a denial of
        service (kernel panic).
    
      - CVE-2010-3437
        Dan Rosenberg discovered an issue in the pktcdvd driver.
        Local users with permission to open /dev/pktcdvd/control
        can obtain the contents of sensitive kernel memory or
        cause a denial of service. By default on Debian systems,
        this access is restricted to members of the group
        'cdrom'.
    
      - CVE-2010-3442
        Dan Rosenberg discovered an issue in the ALSA sound
        system. Local users with permission to open
        /dev/snd/controlC0 can create an integer overflow
