Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2006-0028
Package names: kernel, mysql
Summary: Multiple vulnerabilities
Date: 2006-05-19
Affected versions: Trustix Secure Linux 2.2
Trustix Secure Linux 3.0
Trustix Operating System - Enterprise Server 2
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package description:
kernel
The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of your
Trustix Secure Linux operating system. The kernel handles the basic
functions of the operating system: memory allocation, process allocation,
device input and output, etc.
mysql
MySQL is a true multi-user, multi-threaded SQL (Structured Query
Language) database server. MySQL is a client/server implementation
that consists of a server daemon (mysqld) and many different client
programs/libraries.
Problem description:
kernel < TSL 3.0 >
- New Upstream.
- SECURITY Fix: Memory leak in __setlease in fs/locks.c allows
attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via
unspecified actions related to an "uninitialised return value,"
aka "slab leak."
- lease_init in fs/locks.c allows attackers to cause a denial of
service (fcntl_setlease lockup) via actions that cause lease_init
to free a lock that might not have been allocated on the stack.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the names CVE-2006-1859 and CVE-2006-1860 to these issue.
mysql < TSL 3.0 > < TSL 2.2 > < TSEL 2 >
- SECURITY Fix: Stefano Di Paola has reported some vulnerabilities in
MySQL, which can be exploited by malicious users to disclose
potentially sensitive information and compromise a vulnerable system.
- The check_connection function in sql_parse.cc in MySQL allows remote
attackers to read portions of memory via a username without a trailing
null byte, which causes a buffer over-read.
- sql_parse.cc in MySQL allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive
information via a COM_TABLE_DUMP request with an incorrect packet
length, which includes portions of memory in an error message.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the names CVE-2006-1516 and CVE-2006-1517 to these issues.
