Mandriva Linux Security Update Advisory
_______________________________________________________________________
Package name: kernel-2.4
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2005:111
Date: June 30th, 2005
Affected versions: 10.0, 10.1, Corporate 3.0,
Corporate Server 2.1,
Multi Network Firewall 8.2
______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Multiple vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel have been discovered and
fixed in this update. The following have been fixed in the 2.4
kernels:
Colin Percival discovered a vulnerability in Intel's Hyper-Threading
technology could allow a local user to use a malicious thread to create
covert channels, monitor the execution of other threads, and obtain
sensitive information such as cryptographic keys via a timing attack on
memory cache misses. This has been corrected by disabling HT support
in all kernels (CAN-2005-0109).
When forwarding fragmented packets, a hardware assisted checksum could
only be used once which could lead to a Denial of Service attack or
crash by remote users (CAN-2005-0209).
A flaw in the Linux PPP driver was found where on systems allowing
remote users to connect to a server via PPP, a remote client could
cause a crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (CAN-2005-0384).
An information leak in the ext2 filesystem code was found where when a
new directory is created, the ext2 block written to disk is not
initialized (CAN-2005-0400).
A signedness error in the copy_from_read_buf function in n_tty.c
allows local users to read kernel memory via a negative argument
(CAN-2005-0530).
George Guninski discovered a buffer overflow in the ATM driver
where the atm_get_addr() function does not validate its arguments
sufficiently which could allow a local attacker to overwrite large
portions of kernel memory by supplying a negative length argument. This
could potentially lead to the execution of arbitrary code
(CAN-2005-0531).
A flaw when freeing a pointer in load_elf_library was found that could
be abused by a local user to potentially crash the machine causing a
Denial of Service (CAN-2005-0749).
A problem with the Bluetooth kernel stack in kernels 2.4.6 through
2.4.30-rc1 and 2.6 through 2.6.11.5 could be used by a local attacker
to gain root access or crash the machine (CAN-2005-0750).
A race condition in the Radeon DRI driver allows a local user with DRI
privileges to execute arbitrary code as root (CAN-2005-0767).
Paul Starzetz found an integer overflow in the ELF binary format
loader's code dump function in kernels prior to and including 2.4.31-pre1
and 2.6.12-rc4. By creating and executing a specially
crafted ELF executable, a local attacker could exploit this to
execute arbitrary code with root and kernel privileges
(CAN-2005-1263).
