kernel: several vulnerabilities

Package(s):kernel CVE #(s):CVE-2010-0410 CVE-2010-0415
Created:February 12, 2010 Updated:October 8, 2010
Description: From the Red Hat bugzilla: Sebastian Krahmer found a problem in the drivers/connector/connector.c code where users could send/allocate arbitrary amounts of NETLINK_CONNECTOR messages to the kernel, causing OOM condition, killing selected processes or halting the system. CVE-2010-0410

From the Red Hat bugzilla: Ramon de C. Valle spotted a problem in sys_move_pages, where "node" value is read from userspace, but not limited to the node set within the kernel itself. Due to the bit tests in mm/migrate.c:do_move_pages it is easy to read out the kernel memory (as node can also be negative). CVE-2010-0415
