Detail
| A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Ubuntu 9.10 Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Ubuntu 10.10 This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu. The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS: Ubuntu 9.10: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: Ubuntu 10.10: After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes. Details follow: Nelson Elhage discovered several problems with the Acorn Econet protocol driver. A local user could cause a denial of service via a NULL pointer dereference, escalate privileges by overflowing the kernel stack, and assign Econet addresses to arbitrary interfaces. |

Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB)
| Id | Description |
|---|---|
| 70262 | Linux Kernel net/econet/af_econet.c ec_dev_ioctl Function SIOCSIFADDR IOCTL e... Linux Kernel contains a flaw related to the the 'ec_dev_ioctl' function in 'net/econet/af_econet.c'. The issue is triggered when a local attacker uses a SIOCSIFADDR iotcl call to bypass access restrictions and configure econet addresses. |
| 70261 | Linux Kernel net/econet/af_econet.c econet_sendmsg Function sendmsg Call Loca... Linux Kernel contains a flaw that may allow a local denial of service. The issue is triggered when the 'econet_sendmsg' function in 'net/econet/af_econet.c' alows local users to use a sendmsg call which specifies a NULL value for the remote address field to cause a denial of service via a NULL pointer dereference. |
| 70260 | Linux Kernel net/econet/af_econet.c econet_sendmsg Function iovec Structure L... Linux Kernel is prone to an overflow condition. The 'econet_sendmsg' function in 'net/econet/af_econet.c' fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow. By providing a large number of iovec structures, a local attacker can gain elevated privileges. |
