Detail

Several local and remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2007-0005

Daniel Roethlisberger discovered two buffer overflows in the cm4040 driver for the Omnikey CardMan 4040 device. A local user or malicious device could exploit this to execute arbitrary code in kernel space.

CVE-2007-0958

Santosh Eraniose reported a vulnerability that allows local users to read otherwise unreadable files by triggering a core dump while using PT_INTERP. This is related to CVE-2004-1073.

CVE-2007-1357

Jean Delvare reported a vulnerability in the appletalk subsystem. Systems with the appletalk module loaded can be triggered to crash by other systems on the local network via a malformed frame.

CVE-2007-1592

Masayuki Nakagawa discovered that flow labels were inadvertently being shared between listening sockets and child sockets. This defect can be exploited by local users to cause a DoS (Oops).

This problem has been fixed in the stable distribution in version 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12etch1.

The following matrix lists additional packages that were rebuilt for compatibility with or to take advantage of this update:

Debian 4.0 (etch) fai-kernels 1.17etch1 user-mode-linux 2.6.18-1um-2etch1

We recommend that you upgrade your kernel package immediately and reboot the machine. If you have built a custom kernel from the kernel source package, you will need to rebuild to take advantage of these fixes.

Updated packages for the mips and mipsel architectures are not yet available. They will be provided later.

35930 Linux Kernel PT_INTERP Forced Core Dump Arbitrary Restricted Binary Access

34737 Linux Kernel AppleTalk Functionality atalk_sum_skb() Function Remote DoS

33032 Linux Kernel Interpreter (PT_INTERP) Functionality Arbitrary Binary Read Access

33023 Linux Kernel Omnikey CardMan 4040 Driver Multiple Handler Local Overflow

A local overflow exists in the Omnikey CardMan 4040 linux drivers. The issue is due to a boundary error in the read() and write() functions. With a specially crafted request, an attacker with write permissions to a cmx device file can cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code on the system resulting in a loss of integrity.
