Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2006-0037
Package names: kernel, netpbm
Summary: Multiple vulnerabilities
Date: 2006-06-23
Affected versions: Trustix Secure Linux 2.2
Trustix Secure Linux 3.0
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
netpbm
The netpbm package contains a library of functions which support
programs for handling various graphics file formats, including .pbm
(portable bitmaps), .pgm (portable graymaps), .pnm (portable anymaps),
.ppm (portable pixmaps) and others.
Problem description:
kernel < TSL 3.0 >
- New upstream.
- Module qlogicfc successfully replaced with qla2xxx.
- Added scsi_transport_spi to initrd module list.
- SECURITY FIX: A race condition error in the "posix-cpu-timers.c"
script that does not prevent another CPU from attaching the timer
to an exiting process, which could be exploited by attackers to
cause a denial of service.
- Flaw due to errors in "powerpc/kernel/signal_32.c" and
"powerpc/kernel/signal_32.c", which could allow userspace to
provoke a machine check on 32-bit kernels.
- An infinite loop in "netfilter/xt_sctp.c", which could be exploited
by attackers to exhaust all available memory resources, creating
a denial of service condition.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2006-2445, CVE-2006-2448 and
CVE-2006-3085 to this issue.
netpbm < TSL 3.0 > < TSL 2.2 >
- SECURITY Fix: A vulnerability has been reported in NetPBM, caused due
to an off-by-one boundary error within "pamtofits". This can be
exploited to cause a single byte buffer overflow when processing
a specially crafted input file.
