    "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."

        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

        '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

    descriptionThis kernel update for the SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP3 kernel fixes several security issues and bugs. The following security issues were fixed : - A memory leak in the ethtool ioctl was fixed that could disclose kernel memory to local attackers with CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges. (CVE-2010-4655) - The dvb_ca_ioctl function in drivers/media/dvb/ttpci/av7110_ca.c in the Linux kernel did not check the sign of a certain integer field, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a negative value. (CVE-2011-0521) - The ax25_getname function in net/ax25/af_ax25.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain structure, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory by reading a copy of this structure. (CVE-2010-3875) - net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize certain structure members, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory by leveraging the CAP_NET_RAW capability to read copies of the applicable structures. (CVE-2010-3876) - The get_name function in net/tipc/socket.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain structure, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory by reading a copy of this structure.

  • NASL familySuSE Local Security Checks
    NASL idSUSE_11_2_KERNEL-110413.NASL
    descriptionThis update of the openSUSE 11.2 kernel fixes lots of security issues. Following security issues were fixed: CVE-2011-1493: In the rose networking stack, when parsing the FAC_NATIONAL_DIGIS facilities field, it was possible for a remote host to provide more digipeaters than expected, resulting in heap corruption. Check against ROSE_MAX_DIGIS to prevent overflows, and abort facilities parsing on failure. CVE-2011-1182: Local attackers could send signals to their programs that looked like coming from the kernel, potentially gaining privileges in the context of setuid programs. CVE-2011-1082: The epoll subsystem in Linux did not prevent users from creating circular epoll file structures, potentially leading to a denial of service (kernel deadlock). CVE-2011-1163: The code for evaluating OSF partitions (in fs/partitions/osf.c) contained a bug that leaks data from kernel heap memory to userspace for certain corrupted OSF partitions. CVE-2011-1012: The code for evaluating LDM partitions (in fs/partitions/ldm.c) contained a bug that could crash the kernel for certain corrupted LDM partitions. CVE-2011-1010: The code for evaluating Mac partitions (in fs/partitions/mac.c) contained a bug that could crash the kernel for certain corrupted Mac partitions. CVE-2011-1476: Specially crafted requests may be written to /dev/sequencer resulting in an underflow when calculating a size for a copy_from_user() operation in the driver for MIDI interfaces. On x86, this just returns an error, but it could have caused memory corruption on other architectures. Other malformed requests could have resulted in the use of uninitialized variables. CVE-2011-1477: Due to a failure to validate user-supplied indexes in the driver for Yamaha YM3812 and OPL-3 chips, a specially crafted ioctl request could have been sent to /dev/sequencer, resulting in reading and writing beyond the bounds of heap buffers, and potentially allowing privilege escalation. CVE-2011-1090: A page allocator issue in NFS v4 ACL handling that could lead to a denial of service (crash) was fixed. CVE-2010-3880: net/ipv4/inet_diag.c in the Linux kernel did not properly audit INET_DIAG bytecode, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (kernel infinite loop) via crafted INET_DIAG_REQ_BYTECODE instructions in a netlink message that contains multiple attribute elements, as demonstrated by INET_DIAG_BC_JMP instructions. CVE-2011-0521: The dvb_ca_ioctl function in drivers/media/dvb/ttpci/av7110_ca.c in the Linux kernel did not check the sign of a certain integer field, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a negative value. CVE-2010-3875: The ax25_getname function in net/ax25/af_ax25.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain structure, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory by reading a copy of this structure. CVE-2010-3876: net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize certain structure members, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory by leveraging the CAP_NET_RAW capability to read copies of the applicable structures. CVE-2010-3877: The get_name function in net/tipc/socket.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain structure, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory by reading a copy of this structure. CVE-2010-3705: The sctp_auth_asoc_get_hmac function in net/sctp/auth.c in the Linux kernel did not properly validate the hmac_ids array of an SCTP peer, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and panic) via a crafted value in the last element of this array. CVE-2011-0711: A stack memory information leak in the xfs FSGEOMETRY_V1 ioctl was fixed. CVE-2011-0712: Multiple buffer overflows in the caiaq Native Instruments USB audio functionality in the Linux kernel might have allowed attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long USB device name, related to (1) the snd_usb_caiaq_audio_init function in sound/usb/caiaq/audio.c and (2) the snd_usb_caiaq_midi_init function in sound/usb/caiaq/midi.c. CVE-2010-1173: The sctp_process_unk_param function in net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c in the Linux kernel, when SCTP is enabled, allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via an SCTPChunkInit packet containing multiple invalid parameters that require a large amount of error data. CVE-2010-4075: The uart_get_count function in drivers/serial/serial_core.c in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize a certain structure member, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a TIOCGICOUNT ioctl call. CVE-2010-4076: The rs_ioctl function in drivers/char/amiserial.c in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize a certain structure member, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a TIOCGICOUNT ioctl call. CVE-2010-4077: The ntty_ioctl_tiocgicount function in drivers/char/nozomi.c in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize a certain structure member, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a TIOCGICOUNT ioctl call. CVE-2010-4248: Race condition in the __exit_signal function in kernel/exit.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service via vectors related to multithreaded exec, the use of a thread group leader in kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c, and the selection of a new thread group leader in the de_thread function in fs/exec.c. CVE-2010-4243: fs/exec.c in the Linux kernel did not enable the OOM Killer to assess use of stack memory by arrays representing the (1) arguments and (2) environment, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted exec system call, aka an

    NASL idSUSE_11_KERNEL-110228.NASL
    descriptionThe SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 1 kernel was updated to 2.6.32.29 and fixes various bugs and security issues. - The ax25_getname function in net/ax25/af_ax25.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain structure, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory by reading a copy of this structure. (CVE-2010-3875) - net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize certain structure members, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory by leveraging the CAP_NET_RAW capability to read copies of the applicable structures. (CVE-2010-3876) - The get_name function in net/tipc/socket.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain structure, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory by reading a copy of this structure. (CVE-2010-3877) - The sctp_auth_asoc_get_hmac function in net/sctp/auth.c in the Linux kernel did not properly validate the hmac_ids array of an SCTP peer, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and panic) via a crafted value in the last element of this array. (CVE-2010-3705) - A stack memory information leak in the xfs FSGEOMETRY_V1 ioctl was fixed. (CVE-2011-0711) - Multiple buffer overflows in the caiaq Native Instruments USB audio functionality in the Linux kernel might have allowed attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long USB device name, related to (1) the snd_usb_caiaq_audio_init function in sound/usb/caiaq/audio.c and (2) the snd_usb_caiaq_midi_init function in sound/usb/caiaq/midi.c. (CVE-2011-0712) - The task_show_regs function in arch/s390/kernel/traps.c in the Linux kernel on the s390 platform allowed local users to obtain the values of the registers of an arbitrary process by reading a status file under /proc/. (CVE-2011-0710) - The xfs implementation in the Linux kernel did not look up inode allocation btrees before reading inode buffers, which allowed remote authenticated users to read unlinked files, or read or overwrite disk blocks that are currently assigned to an active file but were previously assigned to an unlinked file, by accessing a stale NFS filehandle. (CVE-2010-2943) - The uart_get_count function in drivers/serial/serial_core.c in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize a certain structure member, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a TIOCGICOUNT ioctl call. (CVE-2010-4075) - The rs_ioctl function in drivers/char/amiserial.c in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize a certain structure member, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a TIOCGICOUNT ioctl call. (CVE-2010-4076) - The ntty_ioctl_tiocgicount function in drivers/char/nozomi.c in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize a certain structure member, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a TIOCGICOUNT ioctl call. (CVE-2010-4077) - fs/exec.c in the Linux kernel did not enable the OOM Killer to assess use of stack memory by arrays representing the (1) arguments and (2) environment, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted exec system call, aka an OOM dodging issue, a related issue to CVE-2010-3858. (CVE-2010-4243) - The blk_rq_map_user_iov function in block/blk-map.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via a zero-length I/O request in a device ioctl to a SCSI device, related to an unaligned map. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2010-4163. (CVE-2010-4668) - Integer underflow in the irda_getsockopt function in net/irda/af_irda.c in the Linux kernel on platforms other than x86 allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel heap memory via an IRLMP_ENUMDEVICES getsockopt call. (CVE-2010-4529) - The aun_incoming function in net/econet/af_econet.c in the Linux kernel, when Econet is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) by sending an Acorn Universal Networking (AUN) packet over UDP. (CVE-2010-4342) - The backend driver in Xen 3.x allowed guest OS users to cause a denial of service via a kernel thread leak, which prevented the device and guest OS from being shut down or create a zombie domain, causing a hang in zenwatch, or preventing unspecified xm commands from working properly, related to (1) netback, (2) blkback, or (3) blktap. (CVE-2010-3699) - The install_special_mapping function in mm/mmap.c in the Linux kernel did not make an expected security_file_mmap function call, which allows local users to bypass intended mmap_min_addr restrictions and possibly conduct NULL pointer dereference attacks via a crafted assembly-language application. (CVE-2010-4346) - Fixed a verify_ioctl overflow in

    titleOracle Linux 6 : kernel (ELSA-2011-0007)
  • NASL familySuSE Local Security Checks
    NASL idSUSE_11_3_KERNEL-110414.NASL
    descriptionThe openSUSE 11.3 kernel was updated to 2.6.34.8 to fix various bugs and security issues. Following security issues have been fixed: CVE-2011-1493: In the rose networking stack, when parsing the FAC_NATIONAL_DIGIS facilities field, it was possible for a remote host to provide more digipeaters than expected, resulting in heap corruption. Check against ROSE_MAX_DIGIS to prevent overflows, and abort facilities parsing on failure. CVE-2011-1182: Local attackers could send signals to their programs that looked like coming from the kernel, potentially gaining privileges in the context of setuid programs. CVE-2011-1082: The epoll subsystem in Linux did not prevent users from creating circular epoll file structures, potentially leading to a denial of service (kernel deadlock). CVE-2011-1478: An issue in the core GRO code where an skb belonging to an unknown VLAN is reused could result in a NULL pointer dereference. CVE-2011-1163: The code for evaluating OSF partitions (in fs/partitions/osf.c) contained a bug that leaks data from kernel heap memory to userspace for certain corrupted OSF partitions. CVE-2011-1012: The code for evaluating LDM partitions (in fs/partitions/ldm.c) contained a bug that could crash the kernel for certain corrupted LDM partitions. CVE-2011-1010: The code for evaluating Mac partitions (in fs/partitions/mac.c) contained a bug that could crash the kernel for certain corrupted Mac partitions. CVE-2011-1476: Specially crafted requests may be written to /dev/sequencer resulting in an underflow when calculating a size for a copy_from_user() operation in the driver for MIDI interfaces. On x86, this just returns an error, but it could have caused memory corruption on other architectures. Other malformed requests could have resulted in the use of uninitialized variables. CVE-2011-1477: Due to a failure to validate user-supplied indexes in the driver for Yamaha YM3812 and OPL-3 chips, a specially crafted ioctl request could have been sent to /dev/sequencer, resulting in reading and writing beyond the bounds of heap buffers, and potentially allowing privilege escalation. CVE-2011-0191: A information leak in the XFS geometry calls could be used by local attackers to gain access to kernel information. CVE-2011-1090: A page allocator issue in NFS v4 ACL handling that could lead to a denial of service (crash) was fixed. CVE-2010-3880: net/ipv4/inet_diag.c in the Linux kernel did not properly audit INET_DIAG bytecode, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (kernel infinite loop) via crafted INET_DIAG_REQ_BYTECODE instructions in a netlink message that contains multiple attribute elements, as demonstrated by INET_DIAG_BC_JMP instructions. CVE-2010-4656: Fixed a buffer size issue in
