    The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having
    moderate 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 divide-by-zero flaw was found in the tcp_select_initial_window()
    function in the Linux kernel's TCP/IP protocol suite implementation. A
    local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to trigger a denial of
    service by calling setsockopt() with certain options. (CVE-2010-4165,
    Moderate)
    
    * A use-after-free flaw in the mprotect() system call in the Linux
    kernel could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a local denial
    of service. (CVE-2010-4169, Moderate)
    
    * A flaw was found in the Linux kernel execve() system call
    implementation. A local, unprivileged user could cause large amounts
    of memory to be allocated but not visible to the OOM (Out of Memory)
    killer, triggering a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4243, Moderate)
    
    Red Hat would like to thank Steve Chen for reporting CVE-2010-4165,
    and Brad Spengler for reporting CVE-2010-4243.
    
    This update also fixes several bugs and adds two enhancements.
    Documentation for these bug fixes and enhancements will be available
    shortly from the Technical Notes document linked to in the References
    section.
    
    Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
    backported patches to correct these issues, and fix the bugs and add
    the enhancements noted in the Technical Notes. The system must be
    rebooted for this update to take effect."

    Updated kernel packages that fix three security issues, several bugs,
    and add two enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
    Linux 6.
    
    The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having
    moderate 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 divide-by-zero flaw was found in the tcp_select_initial_window()
    function in the Linux kernel's TCP/IP protocol suite implementation. A
    local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to trigger a denial of
    service by calling setsockopt() with certain options. (CVE-2010-4165,
    Moderate)
    
    * A use-after-free flaw in the mprotect() system call in the Linux
    kernel could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a local denial
    of service. (CVE-2010-4169, Moderate)
    
    * A flaw was found in the Linux kernel execve() system call
    implementation. A local, unprivileged user could cause large amounts
    of memory to be allocated but not visible to the OOM (Out of Memory)
    killer, triggering a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4243, Moderate)
    
    Red Hat would like to thank Steve Chen for reporting CVE-2010-4165,
    and Brad Spengler for reporting CVE-2010-4243.
    
    This update also fixes several bugs and adds two enhancements.
    Documentation for these bug fixes and enhancements will be available
    shortly from the Technical Notes document linked to in the References
    section.
    
    Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
    backported patches to correct these issues, and fix the bugs and add
    the enhancements noted in the Technical Notes. The system must be
    rebooted for this update to take effect."

    descriptionThe SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 1 kernel was updated to 2.6.32.27 and fixes various bugs and security issues. The following security issues were fixed : - A local attacker could use a Oops (kernel crash) caused by other flaws to write a 0 byte to a attacker controlled address in the kernel. This could lead to privilege escalation together with other issues. (CVE-2010-4258) - A overflow in sendto() and recvfrom() routines was fixed that could be used by local attackers to potentially crash the kernel using some socket families like L2TP. (CVE-2010-4160) - A 32bit vs 64bit integer mismatch in gdth_ioctl_alloc could lead to memory corruption in the GDTH driver. (CVE-2010-4157) - The do_tcp_setsockopt function in net/ipv4/tcp.c in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict TCP_MAXSEG (aka MSS) values, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via a setsockopt call that specifies a small value, leading to a divide-by-zero error or incorrect use of a signed integer. (CVE-2010-4165) - A remote (or local) attacker communicating over X.25 could cause a kernel panic by attempting to negotiate malformed facilities. (CVE-2010-4164) - A local attacker could cause memory overruns in the RDS protocol stack, potentially crashing the kernel. So far it is considered not to be exploitable.

(CVE-2010-4169) - A minor heap overflow in the CAN network module was fixed. Due to nature of the memory allocator it is likely not exploitable. (CVE-2010-3874) - A memory information leak in berkely packet filter rules allowed local attackers to read uninitialized memory of the kernel stack. (CVE-2010-4158) - A local denial of service in the blockdevice layer was fixed. (CVE-2010-4162) - By submitting certain I/O requests with 0 length, a local user could have caused a kernel panic. (CVE-2010-4163) - The ethtool_get_rxnfc function in net/core/ethtool.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain block of heap memory, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information via an ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL ethtool command with a large info.rule_cnt value. (CVE-2010-3861) - arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize certain structure members, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via read operations on the /dev/kvm device. (CVE-2010-3881) - A range checking overflow in pktcdvd ioctl was fixed. (CVE-2010-3437) - The viafb_ioctl_get_viafb_info function in drivers/video/via/ioctl.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 VIAFB_GET_INFO ioctl call. (CVE-2010-4082) - The ipc subsystem in the Linux kernel did not initialize certain structures, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via vectors related to the (1) compat_sys_semctl, (2) compat_sys_msgctl, and (3) compat_sys_shmctl functions in ipc/compat.c; and the (4) compat_sys_mq_open and (5) compat_sys_mq_getsetattr functions in ipc/compat_mq.c. (CVE-2010-4073) - The copy_shmid_to_user function in ipc/shm.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain structure, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via vectors related to the shmctl system call and the

(CVE-2010-4242) Brad Spengler discovered that the kernel did not correctly account for userspace memory allocations during exec() calls. A local attacker could exploit this to consume all system memory, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4243) Vegard Nossum discovered that memory garbage collection was not handled correctly for active sockets. A local attacker could exploit this to allocate all available kernel memory, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4249) It was discovered that named pipes did not correctly handle certain fcntl calls. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4256) Nelson Elhage discovered that the kernel did not correctly handle process cleanup after triggering a recoverable kernel bug. If a local attacker were able to trigger certain kinds of kernel bugs, they could create a specially crafted process to gain root privileges. (CVE-2010-4258) Kees Cook discovered that some ethtool functions did not correctly clear heap memory. A local attacker with CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges could exploit this to read portions of kernel heap memory, leading to a loss of privacy. (CVE-2010-4655) Frank Arnold discovered that the IGMP protocol did not correctly parse certain packets. A remote attacker could send specially crafted traffic to crash the system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2011-0709). Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
