Detail

CVE-2007-2172

Thomas Graf reported a typo in the IPV4 protocol handler that could be used by a local attacker to overrun an array via crafted packets, potentially resulting in a Denial of Service (system crash). The DECnet counterpart of this issue was already fixed in DSA-1356.

CVE-2007-2875

iDefense reported a potential integer underflow in the cpuset filesystem which may permit local attackers to gain access to sensitive kernel memory. This vulnerability is only exploitable if the cpuset filesystem is mounted.

CVE-2007-3105

The PaX Team discovered a potential buffer overflow in the random number generator which may permit local users to cause a denial of service or gain additional privileges. This issue is not believed to effect default Debian installations where only root has sufficient privileges to exploit it.

CVE-2007-3843

A coding error in the CIFS subsystem permits the use of unsigned messages even if the client has been configured the system to enforce signing by passing the sec=ntlmv2i mount option. This may allow remote attackers to spoof CIFS network traffic.

CVE-2007-4308

Alan Cox reported an issue in the aacraid driver that allows unprivileged local users to make ioctl calls which should be restricted to admin privileges.

These problems have been fixed in the stable distribution in version 2.6.18.dfsg.1-13etch2.

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 1.17+etch5 user-mode-linux 2.6.18-1um-2etch4

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.

Title: Stack-based buffer overflow in the random number generator (RNG) implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22 might allow local root users to cause a denial of service or gain privileges by setting the default wakeup threshold to a value greater than the output pool size, which triggers writing random numbers to the stack by the pool transfer function involving "bound check ordering". NOTE: this issue might only cross privilege boundaries in environments that have granular assignment of privileges for root.
