kernel: multiple vulnerabilities

Package(s):kernel CVE #(s):CVE-2010-2478 CVE-2010-2495
Created:July 9, 2010 Updated:March 28, 2011
Description: From the Red Hat bugzilla:

On a 32-bit machine, info.rule_cnt >= 0x40000000 leads to integer overflow and the buffer may be smaller than needed. Since ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL is unprivileged, this can presumably be used for at least denial of service. (CVE-2010-2478)

From the Red Hat bugzilla:

When transmitting L2TP frames, we derive the outgoing interface's UDP checksum hardware assist capabilities from the tunnel dst dev. This can sometimes be NULL, especially when routing protocols are used and routing changes occur. This patch just checks for NULL dst or dev pointers when checking for netdev hardware assist features. (CVE-2010-2495)
