Detail

The wait_task_stopped function in the Linux kernel before 2.6.23.8 checks a TASK_TRACED bit instead of an exit_state value, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (machine crash) via unspecified vectors. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information. (CVE-2007-5500)

The tcp_sacktag_write_queue function in the Linux kernel 2.6.21 through 2.6.23.7 allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via crafted ACK responses that trigger a NULL pointer dereference (CVE-2007-5501).

The do_corefump function in fs/exec.c in the Linux kernel prior to 2.6.24-rc3 did not change the UID of a core dump file if it exists before a root process creates a core dump in the same location, which could possibly allow local users to obtain sensitive information (CVE-2007-6206).

VFS in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22.16 performed tests of access mode by using the flag variable instead of the acc_mode variable, which could possibly allow local users to bypass intended permissions and remove directories (CVE-2008-0001).

The Linux kernel prior to 2.6.22.17, when using certain drivers that register a fault handler that does not perform range checks, allowed local users to access kernel memory via an out-of-range offset (CVE-2008-0007).

A flaw in the vmsplice system call did not properly verify address arguments passed by user-space processes, which allowed local attackers to overwrite arbitrary kernel memory and gain root privileges (CVE-2008-0600).

Mandriva urges all users to upgrade to these new kernels immediately as the CVE-2008-0600 flaw is being actively exploited. This issue only affects 2.6.17 and newer Linux kernels, so neither Corporate 3.0 nor Corporate 4.0 are affected.

Additionally, this kernel updates the version from 2.6.22.12 to 2.6.22.18 and fixes numerous other bugs, including:

- fix freeze when ejecting a cm40x0 PCMCIA card - fix crash on unloading netrom - fixes alsa-related sound issues on Dell XPS M1210 and M1330 models - the HZ value was increased on the laptop kernel to increase interactivity and reduce latency - netfilter ipset, psd, and ifwlog support was re-enabled - unionfs was reverted to a working 1.4 branch that is less buggy

To update your kernel, please follow the directions located at:

Title: DSA-1479 linux-2.6 -- several vulnerabilities
Description: Several local 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: Bart Oldeman reported a denial of service (DoS) issue in the VFAT filesystem that allows local users to corrupt a kernel structure resulting in a system crash. This is only an issue for systems which make use of the VFAT compat ioctl interface, such as systems running an "amd64" flavor kernel. Takashi Iwai supplied a fix for a memory leak in the snd_page_alloc module. Local users could exploit this issue to obtain sensitive information from the kernel. ADLAB discovered a possible memory overrun in the ISDN subsystem that may permit a local user to overwrite kernel memory by issuing ioctls with unterminated data. Bill Roman of Datalight noticed a coding error in the linux VFS subsystem that, under certain conditions, can allow local users to remove directories for which they should not have removal privileges. These problems have been fixed in the stable distribution in version 2.6.18.dfsg.1-17etch1. We recommend that you upgrade your kernel packages 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: DSA-1494 linux-2.6 -- missing access checks
Description: The vmsplice system call did not properly verify address arguments passed by user space processes, which allowed local attackers to overwrite arbitrary kernel memory, gaining root privileges (CVE-2008-0010, CVE-2008-0600). In the vserver-enabled kernels, a missing access check on certain symlinks in /proc enabled local attackers to access resources in other vservers (CVE-2008-0163). The old stable distribution (sarge) is not affected by this problem.

Title: DSA-1503 kernel-source-2.4.27 -- several vulnerabilities
Description: 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: infamous41md reported multiple integer overflows in the Sbus PROM driver that would allow for a DoS (Denial of Service) attack by a local user, and possibly the execution of arbitrary code. Doug Chapman discovered a potential local DoS (deadlock) in the mincore function caused by improper lock handling. Eric Sandeen provided a fix for a local memory corruption vulnerability resulting from a misinterpretation of return values when operating on inodes, which have been marked bad. LMH reported a potential local DoS which could be exploited by a malicious user with the privileges to mount and read a corrupted cramfs filesystem. LMH reported a potential local DoS which could be exploited by a malicious user with the privileges to mount and read a corrupted ext3 filesystem. LMH reported a potential local DoS which could be exploited by a malicious user with the privileges to mount and read a corrupted ext2 filesystem. Marcel Holtman discovered multiple buffer overflows in the Bluetooth subsystem which can be used to trigger a remote DoS (crash) and potentially execute arbitrary code. Ilja van Sprundel discovered that kernel memory could be leaked via the Bluetooth setsockopt call due to an uninitialised stack buffer. This could be used by local attackers to read the contents of sensitive kernel memory. 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). Thomas Graf reported a typo in the DECnet 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). A similar issue exists in the IPV4 protocol handler and will be fixed in a subsequent update. Florian Zumbiehl discovered a memory leak in the PPPOE subsystem caused by releasing a socket before PPPIOCGCHAN is called upon it. This could be used by a local user to DoS a system by consuming all available memory. Wojciech Purczynski discovered that pdeath_signal was not being reset properly under certain conditions which may allow local users to gain privileges by sending arbitrary signals to suid binaries. 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. PaX team discovered an issue in the random driver where a defect in the reseeding code leads to a reduction in entropy. Alex Smith discovered an issue with the pwc driver for certain webcam devices. If the device is removed while a userspace application has it open, the driver will wait for userspace to close the device, resulting in a blocked USB subsystem. This issue is of low security impact as it requires the attacker to either have physical access to the system or to convince a user with local access to remove the device on their behalf. Venustech AD-LAB discovered a a buffer overflow in the isdn ioctl handling, exploitable by a local user. ADLAB discovered a possible memory overrun in the ISDN subsystem that may permit a local user to overwrite kernel memory by issuing ioctls with unterminated data. Blake Frantz discovered that when a core file owned by a non-root user exists, and a root-owned process dumps core over it, the core file retains its original ownership. This could be used by a local user to gain access to sensitive information. Cyrill Gorcunov reported a NULL pointer dereference in code specific to the CHRP PowerPC platforms. Local users could exploit this issue to achieve a Denial of Service (DoS). Nick Piggin of SuSE discovered a number of issues in subsystems which register a fault handler for memory mapped areas. This issue can be exploited by local users to achieve a Denial of Service (DoS) and possibly execute arbitrary code. The following matrix lists additional packages that were rebuilt for compatibility with or to take advantage of this update: 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.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: LMH reported a potential local DoS which could be exploited by a malicious user with the privileges to mount and read a corrupted cramfs filesystem. LMH reported a potential local DoS which could be exploited by a malicious user with the privileges to mount and read a corrupted ext2 filesystem. LMH reported an issue in the minix filesystem that allows local users with mount privileges to create a DoS (printk flood) by mounting a specially crafted corrupt filesystem. OpenVZ Linux kernel team reported an issue in the smbfs filesystem which can be exploited by local users to cause a DoS (oops) during mount. Ilja van Sprundel discovered that kernel memory could be leaked via the Bluetooth setsockopt call due to an uninitialised stack buffer. This could be used by local attackers to read the contents of sensitive kernel memory.

This could be used by a local user to DoS a system by consuming all available memory. 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. Adam Litke reported a potential local denial of service (oops) on powerpc platforms resulting from unchecked VMA expansion into address space reserved for hugetlb pages. Steve French reported that CIFS filesystems with CAP_UNIX enabled were not honoring a process umask, which may lead to unintentionally relaxed permissions. Wojciech Purczynski discovered that pdeath_signal was not being reset properly under certain conditions, which may allow local users to gain privileges by sending arbitrary signals to suid binaries. Hugh Dickins discovered a potential local DoS (panic) in hugetlbfs. A misconversion of hugetlb_vmtruncate_list to prio_tree may allow local users to trigger a BUG_ON() call in exit_mmap. 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. Wojciech Purczynski discovered a vulnerability that can be exploited by a local user to obtain superuser privileges on x86_64 systems. This resulted from improper clearing of the high bits of registers during ia32 system call emulation. This vulnerability is relevant to the Debian amd64 port as well as users of the i386 port who run the amd64 linux-image flavour. Alex Smith discovered an issue with the pwc driver for certain webcam devices. If the device is removed while a userspace application has it open, the driver will wait for userspace to close the device, resulting in a blocked USB subsystem.
