Detail

Problem Description:

Updated kernel packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.7 Extended Update Support.

This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4.7.z - i386, ia64, noarch, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4.7.z - i386, ia64, noarch, x86_64

3. Description:

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

This update fixes the following security issues:

* Michael Tokarev reported a flaw in the Realtek r8169 Ethernet driver in the Linux kernel. This driver allowed interfaces using this driver to receive frames larger than what could be handled. This could lead to a remote denial of service or code execution. (CVE-2009-1389, Important)

* Tavis Ormandy and Julien Tinnes of the Google Security Team reported a flaw in the SOCKOPS_WRAP macro in the Linux kernel. This macro did not initialize the sendpage operation in the proto_ops structure correctly. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a local denial of service or escalate their privileges. (CVE-2009-2692, Important)

* Tavis Ormandy and Julien Tinnes of the Google Security Team reported a flaw in the udp_sendmsg() implementation in the Linux kernel when using the MSG_MORE flag on UDP sockets. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a local denial of service or escalate their privileges. (CVE-2009-2698, Important)

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.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259

5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

504726 - CVE-2009-1389 kernel: r8169: fix crash when large packets are received 516949 - CVE-2009-2692 kernel: uninit op in SOCKOPS_WRAP() leads to privesc 518034 - CVE-2009-2698 kernel: udp socket NULL ptr dereference

Title: DSA-1862-1 linux-2.6 -- privilege escalation
Description: A vulnerability has been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to privilege escalation. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problem: CVE-2009-2692 Tavis Ormandy and Julien Tinnes discovered an issue with how the sendpage function is initialised in the proto_ops structure. Local users can exploit this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges. For the stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 2.6.26-17lenny2. For the oldstable distribution, this problem will be fixed in updates to linux-2.6 and linux-2.6.24. We recommend that you upgrade your linux-2.6 and user-mode-linux packages. Note: Debian carefully tracks all known security issues across every linux kernel package in all releases under active security support. However, given the high frequency at which low-severity security issues are discovered in the kernel and the resource requirements of doing an update, updates for lower priority issues will normally not be released for all kernels at the same time. Rather, they will be released in a staggered or "leap-frog" fashion.

Title: DSA-1864-1 linux-2.6.24 -- privilege escalation
Description: A vulnerability has been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to privilege escalation. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problem: CVE-2009-2692 Tavis Ormandy and Julien Tinnes discovered an issue with how the sendpage function is initialised in the proto_ops structure. Local users can exploit this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges. For the oldstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 2.6.24-6~etchnhalf.8etch3. We recommend that you upgrade your linux-2.6.24 packages. Note: Debian "etch" includes linux kernel packages based upon both the 2.6.18 and 2.6.24 linux releases. All known security issues are carefully tracked against both packages and both packages will receive security updates until security support for Debian "etch" concludes. However, given the high frequency at which low-severity security issues are discovered in the kernel and the resource requirements of doing an update, lower severity 2.6.18 and 2.6.24 updates will typically release in a staggered or "leap-frog" fashion.

Title: DSA-1865-1 linux-2.6 -- denial of service/privilege escalation
Description: Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to denial of service or privilege escalation. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: CVE-2009-1385 Neil Horman discovered a missing fix from the e1000 network driver. A remote user may cause a denial of service by way of a kernel panic triggered by specially crafted frame sizes. CVE-2009-1389 Michael Tokarev discovered an issue in the r8169 network driver. Remote users on the same LAN may cause a denial of service by way of a kernel panic triggered by receiving a large size frame. CVE-2009-1630 Frank Filz discovered that local users may be able to execute files without execute permission when accessed via an nfs4 mount. CVE-2009-1633 Jeff Layton and Suresh Jayaraman fixed several buffer overflows in the CIFS filesystem which allow remote servers to cause memory corruption. CVE-2009-2692 Tavis Ormandy and Julien Tinnes discovered an issue with how the sendpage function is initialised in the proto_ops structure. Local users can exploit this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges. For the oldstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 2.6.18.dfsg.1-24etch3. We recommend that you upgrade your linux-2.6, fai-kernels, and user-mode-linux packages. Note: Debian carefully tracks all known security issues across every linux kernel package in all releases under active security support. However, given the high frequency at which low-severity security issues are discovered in the kernel and the resource requirements of doing an update, updates for lower priority issues will normally not be released for all kernels at the same time.

Linux kernel contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to gain access to unauthorized privileges. The issue is triggered when the kernel fails to initialize all function pointers for socket operations in proto_ops structures, allowing local users to trigger a null pointer dereference. This flaw may lead to a loss of integrity.
