(CVE-2010-3310) - 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) - fs/jfs/xattr.c in the Linux kernel did not properly handle a certain legacy format for storage of extended attributes, which might have allowed local users by bypass intended xattr namespace restrictions via an last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 59153 published 2012-05-17 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2012-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/59153 title SuSE 10 Security Update : the Linux kernel (ZYPP Patch Number 7261) NASL family Ubuntu Local Security Checks NASL id UBUNTU_USN-1073-1.NASL description Gleb Napatov discovered that KVM did not correctly check certain privileged operations.
