------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pardus Linux Security Advisory 2010-64 security@pardus.org.tr ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: 2010-06-04 Severity: 3 Type: Local ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Summary ======= Multiple vulnerabilities have been fixed in kernel. Description =========== CVE-2010-0622: The wake_futex_pi function in kernel/futex.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.33-rc7 does not properly handle certain unlock operations for a Priority Inheritance (PI) futex, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) and possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors involving modification of the futex value from user space. CVE-2010-1086: The ULE decapsulation functionality in drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/dvb_net.c in dvb-core in Linux kernel 2.6.33 and earlier allows attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted MPEG2-TS frame, related to an invalid Payload Pointer ULE. CVE-2010-1162: The release_one_tty function in drivers/char/tty_io.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.34-rc4 omits certain required calls to the put_pid function, which has unspecified impact and local attack vectors. CVE-2010-1437: Race condition in the find_keyring_by_name function in security/keys/keyring.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.34-rc5 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via keyctl session commands that trigger access to a dead keyring that is undergoing deletion by the key_cleanup function. CVE-2010-1173: The sctp_process_unk_param function in net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.33.3 and earlier, when SCTP is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via an SCTPChunkInit packet containing multiple invalid parameters that require a large amount of error data. Affected packages: Pardus 2009: kernel, all before 2.6.31.13-131-45 Resolution ========== There are update(s) for kernel. You can update them via Package Manager or with a single command from console: pisi up kernel References ========== * http://bugs.pardus.org.tr/show_bug.cgi?id=12311 * http://bugs.pardus.org.tr/show_bug.cgi?id=12628 * http://bugs.pardus.org.tr/show_bug.cgi?id=12774 * http://bugs.pardus.org.tr/show_bug.cgi?id=12915 * http://bugs.pardus.org.tr/show_bug.cgi?id=12911 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Pardus-security mailing list Pardus-security@pardus.org.tr http://liste.pardus.org.tr/mailman/listinfo/pardus-security
