Detail
| A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) The following packages are affected: linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-386 linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-686 linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-686-smp linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-amd64-generic linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-amd64-k8 linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-amd64-k8-smp linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-amd64-xeon linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-k7 linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-k7-smp linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-power3 linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-power3-smp linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-power4 linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-power4-smp linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-powerpc linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-powerpc-smp linux-patch-debian-2.6.8.1 The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 2.6.8.1-16.8. In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. Details follow: Paul Starzetz discovered a race condition in the ELF library and a.out binary format loaders, which can be locally exploited in several different ways to gain root privileges. (CAN-2004-1235) Liang Bin found a design flaw in the capability module. After this module was loaded on demand in a running system, all unprivileged user space processes got all kernel capabilities (thus essentially root privileges). This is mitigated by the fact that the capability module is loaded very early in the boot process of a standard Ubuntu system, when no unprivileged user processes are yet running. (CAN-2004-1337) Finally, this update fixes a memory leak in the ip_conntrack_ftp iptables module. However, it is believed that this is not exploitable. |
