Detail
| A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) The following packages are affected: linux-image-2.6.10-5-386 linux-image-2.6.10-5-686 linux-image-2.6.10-5-686-smp linux-image-2.6.10-5-amd64-generic linux-image-2.6.10-5-amd64-k8 linux-image-2.6.10-5-amd64-k8-smp linux-image-2.6.10-5-amd64-xeon linux-image-2.6.10-5-itanium linux-image-2.6.10-5-itanium-smp linux-image-2.6.10-5-k7 linux-image-2.6.10-5-k7-smp linux-image-2.6.10-5-mckinley linux-image-2.6.10-5-mckinley-smp linux-image-2.6.10-5-power3 linux-image-2.6.10-5-power3-smp linux-image-2.6.10-5-power4 linux-image-2.6.10-5-power4-smp linux-image-2.6.10-5-powerpc linux-image-2.6.10-5-powerpc-smp linux-image-2.6.8.1-5-386 linux-image-2.6.8.1-5-686 linux-image-2.6.8.1-5-686-smp linux-image-2.6.8.1-5-amd64-generic linux-image-2.6.8.1-5-amd64-k8 linux-image-2.6.8.1-5-amd64-k8-smp linux-image-2.6.8.1-5-amd64-xeon linux-image-2.6.8.1-5-k7 linux-image-2.6.8.1-5-k7-smp linux-image-2.6.8.1-5-power3 linux-image-2.6.8.1-5-power3-smp linux-image-2.6.8.1-5-power4 linux-image-2.6.8.1-5-power4-smp linux-image-2.6.8.1-5-powerpc linux-image-2.6.8.1-5-powerpc-smp linux-patch-debian-2.6.8.1 linux-patch-ubuntu-2.6.10 The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 2.6.8.1-16.19 (for Ubuntu 4.10), or 2.6.10-34.2 (for Ubuntu 5.04). After doing a standard system upgrade you need to reboot your computer to effect the necessary changes. Details follow: Alexander Nyberg discovered that ptrace() insufficiently validated addresses on the amd64 platform so that it was possible to set an invalid segment base. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the kernel. This does not affect the i386 and powerpc platforms in any way. (CAN-2005-0756) Chris Wright discovered that the mmap() function could create illegal memory maps (using the "mmap" function) with the start address pointing beyond the end address. A local user could exploit this to crash the kernel or possibly even execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. (CAN-2005-1265) |
