Detail

A vulnerability was discovered and corrected in the Linux 2.6 kernel:

A vulnerability in Linux kernel caused by insecure allocation of user space memory when translating system call inputs to 64-bit. A stack pointer underflow can occur when using the compat_alloc_user_space method with an arbitrary length input. (CVE-2010-3081)

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

Title: DSA-2110-1 linux-2.6 -- privilege escalation/denial of service/information leak
Description: CVE-2010-2492 Andre Osterhues reported an issue in the eCryptfs subsystem. A buffer overflow condition may allow local users to cause a denial of service or gain elevated privileges. CVE-2010-2954 Tavis Ormandy reported an issue in the irda subsystem which may allow local users to cause a denial of service via a NULL pointer dereference. CVE-2010-3078 Dan Rosenberg discovered an issue in the XFS file system that allows local users to read potentially sensitive kernel memory. CVE-2010-3080 Tavis Ormandy reported an issue in the ALSA sequencer OSS emulation layer. Local users with sufficient privileges to open /dev/sequencer can cause a denial of service via a NULL pointer dereference. CVE-2010-3081 Ben Hawkes discovered an issue in the 32-bit compatibility code for 64-bit systems. Local users can gain elevated privileges due to insufficient checks in compat_alloc_user_space allocations. For the stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 2.6.26-25lenny1. We recommend that you upgrade your linux-2.6 and user-mode-linux packages. The following matrix lists additional source packages that were rebuilt for compatibility with or to take advantage of this update: Debian 5.0 user-mode-linux 2.6.26-1um-2+25lenny1

Title: Third party component updates for VMware vCenter Server, vCenter Update Manager, ESXi and ESX
Description: The compat_alloc_user_space functions in include/asm/compat.h files in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36-rc4-git2 on 64-bit platforms do not properly allocate the userspace memory required for the 32-bit compatibility layer, which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging the ability of the compat_mc_getsockopt function (aka the MCAST_MSFILTER getsockopt support) to control a certain length value, related to a "stack pointer underflow" issue, as exploited in the wild in September 2010.
