-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2006-0016 Package names: curl, kernel Summary: Multiple vulnerabilities Date: 2006-03-24 Affected versions: Trustix Secure Linux 2.2 Trustix Secure Linux 3.0 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package description: curl Curl is a client to get documents/files from servers, using any of the supported protocols. The command is designed to work without user interaction or any kind of interactivity. Curl offers a busload of useful tricks like proxy support, user authentication, ftp upload, HTTP post, file transfer resume and more. 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. Problem description: curl < TSL 3.0 > < TSL 2.2 > - New Upstream. - SECURITY Fix: Ulf Harnhammar has reported a vulnerability in cURL caused due to a boundary error within the parsing of a URL that contains the TFTP protocol prefix "tftp://". This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially-crafted URL that consist of a valid hostname and a path that is longer than 512 bytes. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name CVE-2006-1061 to this issue. kernel < TSL 3.0 > - New Upstream. - Upgraded 3ware 9xxx RAID driver. - SECURITY Fix: An integer overflow error exists within the "do_replace()" function in Netfilter. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow and allows the overwrite of arbitrary amounts of kernel memory when data is copied from user space. - Insufficient memory allocation in "drivers/usb/gadget/rndis.c" when handling NDIS response to OID_GEN_SUPPORTED_LIST may cause kernel memory corruption. Action: We recommend that all systems with this package installed be upgraded. Please note that if you do not need the functionality provided by this package, you may want to remove it from your system.
