-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:197 http://www.mandriva.com/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : kernel Date : November 3, 2006 Affected: 2007.0 _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: Some vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux 2.6 kernel: Bugs in the netfilter for IPv6 code, as reported by Mark Dowd, were fixed (CVE-2006-4572). The ATM subsystem of the Linux kernel could allow a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service (panic) via unknown vectors that cause the ATM subsystem to access the memory of socket buffers after they are freed (CVE-2006-4997). The provided packages are patched to fix these vulnerabilities. All users are encouraged to upgrade to these updated kernels immediately and reboot to effect the fixes. In addition to these security fixes, other fixes have been included such as: - updated to 2.6.17.14 - fix wrong error handling in pccard_store_cis - add NX mask for PTE entry on x86_64 - fix snd-hda-intel OOPS - backported support r8169-related (r8168/r8169SC) network chipsets - explicitly initialize some members of the drm_driver structure, otherwise NULL init will have bad side effects (mach64) - support for building a nosrc.rpm package - fixed unplug/eject on pcmcia cards with r8169 chipsets - fix libata resource conflicts - fix xenU crash and re-enable domU boot logs - fix refcount error triggered by software using /proc/[pid]/auxv To update your kernel, please follow the directions located at: http://www.mandriva.com/en/security/kernelupdate _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-4572 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-4997 _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Linux 2007.0: fdcd9cdcd13729d19e87ea6e045c40a9 2007.0/i586/kernel-2.6.17.6mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.i586.rpm c5b92253d8359f40a1d58ce3fd2afa6d 2007.0/i586/kernel-enterprise-2.6.17.6mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.i586.rpm 40aa09f4acfb3f55264a4077b6129ad2 2007.0/i586/kernel-legacy-2.6.17.6mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.i586.rpm ca4a8a25517d32f24bcf6540f8d4ac43 2007.0/i586/kernel-source-2.6.17.6mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.i586.rpm 614b49725c3b0a23ef3520e1ce54e8ae 2007.0/i586/kernel-source-stripped-2.6.17.6mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.i586.rpm 35d251fc2496a2fc6fa6d42bd7df0057 2007.0/i586/kernel-xen0-2.6.17.6mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.i586.rpm eb6e0f7788acc76c67843c839459d836 2007.0/i586/kernel-xenU-2.6.17.6mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.i586.rpm 29e240e832e84eefd95a47a5dbec1df9 2007.0/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.17.6mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.src.rpm Mandriva Linux 2007.0/X86_64: 4a134d3c6a5bb96b3191e750fe230cb6 2007.0/x86_64/kernel-2.6.17.6mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.x86_64.rpm 14f2e578d613e3ae3f691980248df648 2007.0/x86_64/kernel-source-2.6.17.6mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.x86_64.rpm c60f34dfd4f0ed8a96902ce89e46178a 2007.0/x86_64/kernel-source-stripped-2.6.17.6mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.x86_64.rpm 868743bd6503be82bb00a720404582df 2007.0/x86_64/kernel-xen0-2.6.17.6mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.x86_64.rpm 47b108c6acae00650e9d8d0b64af1e3f 2007.0/x86_64/kernel-xenU-2.6.17.6mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.x86_64.rpm 29e240e832e84eefd95a47a5dbec1df9 2007.0/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.17.6mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
