Detail
| A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) The following packages are affected: linux-image-2.6.10-6-386 linux-image-2.6.10-6-686 linux-image-2.6.10-6-686-smp linux-image-2.6.10-6-amd64-generic linux-image-2.6.10-6-amd64-k8 linux-image-2.6.10-6-amd64-k8-smp linux-image-2.6.10-6-amd64-xeon linux-image-2.6.10-6-itanium linux-image-2.6.10-6-itanium-smp linux-image-2.6.10-6-k7 linux-image-2.6.10-6-k7-smp linux-image-2.6.10-6-mckinley linux-image-2.6.10-6-mckinley-smp linux-image-2.6.10-6-power3 linux-image-2.6.10-6-power3-smp linux-image-2.6.10-6-power4 linux-image-2.6.10-6-power4-smp linux-image-2.6.10-6-powerpc linux-image-2.6.10-6-powerpc-smp linux-image-2.6.12-10-386 linux-image-2.6.12-10-686 linux-image-2.6.12-10-686-smp linux-image-2.6.12-10-amd64-generic linux-image-2.6.12-10-amd64-k8 linux-image-2.6.12-10-amd64-k8-smp linux-image-2.6.12-10-amd64-xeon linux-image-2.6.12-10-hppa32 linux-image-2.6.12-10-hppa32-smp linux-image-2.6.12-10-hppa64 linux-image-2.6.12-10-hppa64-smp linux-image-2.6.12-10-iseries-smp linux-image-2.6.12-10-itanium linux-image-2.6.12-10-itanium-smp linux-image-2.6.12-10-k7 linux-image-2.6.12-10-k7-smp linux-image-2.6.12-10-mckinley linux-image-2.6.12-10-mckinley-smp linux-image-2.6.12-10-powerpc linux-image-2.6.12-10-powerpc-smp linux-image-2.6.12-10-powerpc64-smp linux-patch-ubuntu-2.6.10 linux-patch-ubuntu-2.6.12 The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 2.6.10-34.17 (for Ubuntu 5.04) or 2.6.12-10.32 (for Ubuntu 5.10). After a standard system upgrade you need to reboot your computer to effect the necessary changes. Details follow: The sys_mbind() function did not properly verify the validity of the 'maxnod' argument. A local user could exploit this to trigger a buffer overflow, which caused a kernel crash. (CVE-2006-0557) The SELinux module did not correctly handle the tracer SID when a process was already being traced. A local attacker could exploit this to cause a kernel crash. (CVE-2006-1052) Al Viro discovered a local Denial of Service in the sysfs write buffer handling. By writing a block with a length exactly equal to the processor's page size to any writable file in /sys, a local attacker could cause a kernel crash. (CVE-2006-1055) John Blackwood discovered a race condition with single-step debugging multiple processes at the same time. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system. This only affects the amd64 platform. (CVE-2006-1066) Marco Ivaldi discovered a flaw in the handling of the ID number of IP packets. This number was incremented after receiving unsolicited TCP SYN-ACK packets. A remote attacker could exploit this to conduct port scans with the 'Idle scan' method (nmap -sI), which bypassed intended port scan protections. (CVE-2006-1242) Pavel Kankovsky discovered that the getsockopt() function, when called with an SO_ORIGINAL_DST argument, does not properly clear the returned structure, so that a random piece of kernel memory is exposed to the user. This could potentially reveal sensitive data like passwords or encryption keys. (CVE-2006-1343) A buffer overflow was discovered in the USB Gadget RNDIS implementation. While creating a reply message, the driver did not allocate enough memory for the reply structure. A remote attacker could exploit this to cause a kernel crash. (CVE-2006-1368) Alexandra Kossovsky discovered an invalid memory access in the ip_route_input() function. By using the 'ip' command in a particular way to retrieve multicast routes, a local attacker could exploit this to crash the kernel. (CVE-2006-1525) |

Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB)
| Id | Description |
|---|---|
| 29841 | Linux Kernel net/ipv4/netfilter/ IPv4 Socket Name Return Arbitrary Memory Dis... The Linux kernel contains a flaw that may lead to local memory disclosure. The issue is due to net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c, net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_conntrack_l3proto_ipv4.c and net/ipv4/af_inet.c not properly clearing the 'sockaddr_in.sin_zero' struct. The resulting 6 byte leak to userspace occurs when returning IPv4 socket names from getsockopt(), getpeername(), accept() and getsockname() functions. This could allow a local attacker to possibly obtain sensitive information. |
| 25232 | Linux Kernel SELinux Module Tracer SID Local DoS The Linux Kernel contains a flaw that may allow a local denial of service. The issue is triggered when 'selinux_ptrace' is used to trace a process. The SID that is set while doing so might be replaced later on accessing certain '/proc' files relating to that process, potentially allowing the owner of the original process to enter the other process' domain. This can result in unauthorised access to the target domain, but appears to be more likely to result in a kernel panic and hence in a loss of availability for the platform. |
| 24715 | Linux Kernel ip_route_input() Multi-cast IP Request Local DoS The Linux Kernel contains a flaw that may allow a local denial of service. The issue is triggered when a route for a multicast IP address is requested, and will result in a kernel panic cause by a NULL pointer dereference, and therefore lead to loss of availability for the platform. |
| 24443 | Linux Kernel sysfs Crafted Write Local DoS The Linux Kernel contains a flaw that may allow a local denial of service. The issue is triggered when exactly or more than the platform processor's page size of data is written to a 'sysfs' file. Lack of termination of a buffer in the 'fill_write_buffer()' function will result in a kernel panic and hence in loss of availability for the platform. |
| 24137 | Linux Kernel Crafted Zero IP ID DF Packet Countermeasure Bypass |
| 24098 | Linux Kernel on ia64 Preemption ptrace() Function Local DoS Linux Kernel on ia64 contains a flaw that may allow a local denial of service. The issue is triggered when preemption is having multiple tasks doing ptrace singlesteps around the same time, and will result in loss of availability for the platform. |
| 24071 | Linux Kernel IPv4 sockaddr_in.sin_zero Local Information Disclosure |
| 24041 | Linux Kernel rndis.c OID_GEN_SUPPORTED_LIST Memory Corruption |
| 23895 | Linux Kernel get_nodes() Function Crafted Value Local DoS The Linux kernel contains a flaw that may allow a local denial of service. The issue is triggered when the 'get_nodes' function is called with a 'maxnodes' argument between ((-2 * (BITS_PER_LONG - 1) and 0, and will result in loss of availability for the platform. |
