kernel: several vulnerabilities
| Package(s): | linux-2.6 | CVE #(s): | CVE-2007-2878 CVE-2007-6151 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Created: | January 29, 2008 | Updated: | May 7, 2008 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description: | From the Debian advisory: Bart Oldeman reported a denial of service (DoS) issue in the VFAT filesystem that allows local users to corrupt a kernel structure resulting in a system crash. This is only an issue for systems which make use of the VFAT compat ioctl interface, such as systems running an 'amd64' flavor kernel. ADLAB discovered a possible memory overrun in the ISDN subsystem that may permit a local user to overwrite kernel memory leading by issuing ioctls with unterminated data. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
