    descriptionUpdated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues, address several hundred bugs, and add numerous enhancements are now available as part of the ongoing support and maintenance of Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 6. This is the fourth regular update. 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 race condition was found in the way asynchronous I/O and fallocate() interacted when using the ext4 file system. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to expose random data from an extent whose data blocks have not yet been written, and thus contain data from a deleted file. (CVE-2012-4508, Important) * A flaw was found in the way the vhost kernel module handled descriptors that spanned multiple regions. A privileged guest user in a KVM guest could use this flaw to crash the host or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the host. (CVE-2013-0311, Important) * It was found that the default SCSI command filter does not accommodate commands that overlap across device classes. A privileged guest user could potentially use this flaw to write arbitrary data to a LUN that is passed-through as read-only. (CVE-2012-4542, Moderate) * A flaw was found in the way the xen_failsafe_callback() function in the Linux kernel handled the failed iret (interrupt return) instruction notification from the Xen hypervisor. An unprivileged user in a 32-bit para-virtualized guest could use this flaw to crash the guest. (CVE-2013-0190, Moderate) * A flaw was found in the way pmd_present() interacted with PROT_NONE memory ranges when transparent hugepages were in use. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system. (CVE-2013-0309, Moderate) * A flaw was found in the way CIPSO (Common IP Security Option) IP options were validated when set from user mode. A local user able to set CIPSO IP options on the socket could use this flaw to crash the system. (CVE-2013-0310, Moderate) Red Hat would like to thank Theodore Ts

    descriptionThe SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2 kernel has been updated to 3.0.74 fix various security issues and bugs : This update brings some features : - Updated HD-audio drivers for Nvidia/AMD HDMI and Haswell audio (FATE#314311 FATE#313695) - Lustre enablement patches were added (FATE#314679). - SGI UV (Ultraviolet) platform support. (FATE#306952) Security issues fixed in this update : - The hidp_setup_hid function in net/bluetooth/hidp/core.c in the Linux kernel did not properly copy a certain name field, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by setting a long name and making an HIDPCONNADD ioctl call. (CVE-2013-0349) - Buffer overflow in virt/kvm/irq_comm.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (crash) and to possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI), irq routing entries, and an incorrect check by the setup_routing_entry function before invoking the kvm_set_irq function. (CVE-2012-2137) - The isofs_export_encode_fh function in fs/isofs/export.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain structure member, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel heap memory via a crafted application. (CVE-2012-6549) - The udf_encode_fh function in fs/udf/namei.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain structure member, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel heap memory via a crafted application. (CVE-2012-6548) - Timing side channel on attacks were possible on /dev/ptmx that could allow local attackers to predict keypresses like e.g. passwords. This has been fixed by not updating accessed/modified time on the pty devices. Note that this might break pty idle detection, so it might get reverted again. (CVE-2013-0160) - The Xen netback functionality in the Linux kernel allowed guest OS users to cause a denial of service (loop) by triggering ring pointer corruption. (CVE-2013-0216) - The pciback_enable_msi function in the PCI backend driver (drivers/xen/pciback/conf_space_capability_msi.c) in Xen for the Linux allowed guest OS users with PCI device access to cause a denial of service via a large number of kernel log messages. (CVE-2013-0231) - The translate_desc function in drivers/vhost/vhost.c in the Linux kernel did not properly handle cross-region descriptors, which allowed guest OS users to obtain host OS privileges by leveraging KVM guest OS privileges. (CVE-2013-0311) - Integer overflow in drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_execbuffer.c in the i915 driver in the Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted application that triggers many relocation copies, and potentially leads to a race condition. (CVE-2013-0913) - The flush_signal_handlers function in kernel/signal.c in the Linux kernel preserved the value of the sa_restorer field across an exec operation, which makes it easier for local users to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted application containing a sigaction system call. (CVE-2013-0914) - Use-after-free vulnerability in the shmem_remount_fs function in mm/shmem.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or to cause a denial of service (system crash) by remounting a tmpfs filesystem without specifying a required mpol (aka mempolicy) mount option. (CVE-2013-1767) - The log_prefix function in kernel/printk.c in the Linux kernel 3.x did not properly remove a prefix string from a syslog header, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and system crash) by leveraging /dev/kmsg write access and triggering a call_console_drivers function call. (CVE-2013-1772) - The chase_port function in drivers/usb/serial/io_ti.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via an attempted /dev/ttyUSB read or write operation on a disconnected Edgeport USB serial converter. (CVE-2013-1774) - Race condition in the install_user_keyrings function in security/keys/process_keys.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via crafted keyctl system calls that trigger keyring operations in simultaneous threads. (CVE-2013-1792) - The kvm_set_msr_common function in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in the Linux kernel did not ensure a required time_page alignment during an MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME operation, which allowed guest OS users to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and host OS memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted application.

    titleSuSE 11.2 Security Update : Linux kernel (SAT Patch Numbers 7667 / 7669 / 7675)
  • NASL familyRed Hat Local Security Checks
    NASL idREDHAT-RHSA-2013-0579.NASL
    descriptionAn updated rhev-hypervisor6 package that fixes three security issues, various bugs, and adds an enhancement is now available. 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 rhev-hypervisor6 package provides a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor ISO disk image. The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor is a dedicated Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor. It includes everything necessary to run and manage virtual machines: A subset of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating environment and the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Agent. Note: Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor is only available for the Intel 64 and AMD64 architectures with virtualization extensions. A flaw was found in the way the vhost kernel module handled descriptors that spanned multiple regions. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to crash the host or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the host. (CVE-2013-0311) It was found that the default SCSI command filter does not accommodate commands that overlap across device classes. A privileged guest user could potentially use this flaw to write arbitrary data to a LUN that is passed-through as read-only. (CVE-2012-4542) It was discovered that dnsmasq, when used in combination with certain libvirtd configurations, could incorrectly process network packets from network interfaces that were intended to be prohibited. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service via DNS amplification attacks. (CVE-2012-3411) The CVE-2012-4542 issue was discovered by Paolo Bonzini of Red Hat. This updated package provides updated components that include fixes for several security issues. These issues had no security impact on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor itself, however. The security fixes included in this update address the following CVE numbers : CVE-2012-3955 (dhcp issue) CVE-2011-4355 (gdb issue) CVE-2012-4508, CVE-2013-0190, CVE-2013-0309, and CVE-2013-0310 (kernel issues) CVE-2012-5536 (openssh issue) CVE-2011-3148 and CVE-2011-3149 (pam issues) CVE-2013-0157 (util-linux-ng issue) This updated Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor package also fixes the following bugs : * Previously, the Administration Portal would always display the option to upgrade the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor ISO regardless of whether or not the selected host was up-to-date. Now, the VDSM version compatibility is considered and the upgrade message only displays if there is an upgrade relevant to the host available. (BZ#853092) * An out of date version of libvirt was included in the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor 6.4 package. As a result, virtual machines with supported CPU models were not being properly parsed by libvirt and failed to start. A more recent version of libvirt has been included in this updated hypervisor package. Virtual machines now start normally. (BZ#895078) As well, this update adds the following enhancement : * Hypervisor packages now take advantage of the installonlypkg function provided by yum. This allows for multiple versions of the hypervisor package to be installed on a system concurrently without making changes to the yum configuration as was previously required. (BZ#863579) This update includes the ovirt-node build from RHBA-2013:0556 : https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2013-0556.html Users of the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes these issues and adds this enhancement.

    titleRHEL 6 : rhev-hypervisor6 (RHSA-2013:0579)
  • NASL familyRed Hat Local Security Checks
    NASL idREDHAT-RHSA-2013-0496.NASL
    descriptionUpdated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues, address several hundred bugs, and add numerous enhancements are now available as part of the ongoing support and maintenance of Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 6. This is the fourth regular update. 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 race condition was found in the way asynchronous I/O and fallocate() interacted when using the ext4 file system. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to expose random data from an extent whose data blocks have not yet been written, and thus contain data from a deleted file. (CVE-2012-4508, Important) * A flaw was found in the way the vhost kernel module handled descriptors that spanned multiple regions. A privileged guest user in a KVM guest could use this flaw to crash the host or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the host. (CVE-2013-0311, Important) * It was found that the default SCSI command filter does not accommodate commands that overlap across device classes. A privileged guest user could potentially use this flaw to write arbitrary data to a LUN that is passed-through as read-only. (CVE-2012-4542, Moderate) * A flaw was found in the way the xen_failsafe_callback() function in the Linux kernel handled the failed iret (interrupt return) instruction notification from the Xen hypervisor.

    NASL idORACLELINUX_ELSA-2013-0496.NASL
    descriptionFrom Red Hat Security Advisory 2013:0496 : Updated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues, address several hundred bugs, and add numerous enhancements are now available as part of the ongoing support and maintenance of Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 6. This is the fourth regular update. 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 race condition was found in the way asynchronous I/O and fallocate() interacted when using the ext4 file system. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to expose random data from an extent whose data blocks have not yet been written, and thus contain data from a deleted file. (CVE-2012-4508, Important) * A flaw was found in the way the vhost kernel module handled descriptors that spanned multiple regions. A privileged guest user in a KVM guest could use this flaw to crash the host or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the host. (CVE-2013-0311, Important) * It was found that the default SCSI command filter does not accommodate commands that overlap across device classes. A privileged guest user could potentially use this flaw to write arbitrary data to a LUN that is passed-through as read-only. (CVE-2012-4542, Moderate) * A flaw was found in the way the xen_failsafe_callback() function in the Linux kernel handled the failed iret (interrupt return) instruction notification from the Xen hypervisor. An unprivileged user in a 32-bit para-virtualized guest could use this flaw to crash the guest. (CVE-2013-0190, Moderate) * A flaw was found in the way pmd_present() interacted with PROT_NONE memory ranges when transparent hugepages were in use. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system. (CVE-2013-0309, Moderate) * A flaw was found in the way CIPSO (Common IP Security Option) IP options were validated when set from user mode. A local user able to set CIPSO IP options on the socket could use this flaw to crash the system. (CVE-2013-0310, Moderate) Red Hat would like to thank Theodore Ts
