-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA 438-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze February 18th, 2004 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : kernel-source-2.4.18, kernel-image-2.4.18-1-alpha, kernel-image-2.4.18-1-i386, kernel-image-2.4.18-i386bf, kernel-patch-2.4.18-powerpc Vulnerability : missing function return value check Problem-Type : local Debian-specific: no CVE ID : CAN-2004-0077 Paul Starzetz and Wojciech Purczynski of isec.pl discovered a critical security vulnerability in the memory management code of Linux inside the mremap(2) system call. Due to missing function return value check of internal functions a local attacker can gain root privileges. For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2.4.18-14.2 of kernel-source, version 2.4.18-14 of alpha images, version 2.4.18-12.2 of i386 images, version 2.4.18-5woody7 of i386bf images and version 2.4.18-1woody4 of powerpc images. Other architectures will probably mentioned in a separate advisory or are not affected (m68k). For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem is fixed in version 2.4.24-3 for source, i386 and alpha images and version 2.4.22-10 for powerpc images. This problem is also fixed in the upstream version of Linux 2.4.25 and 2.6.3. We recommend that you upgrade your Linux kernel packages immediately. Upgrade Instructions - -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
