kernel: multiple vulnerabilities

Package(s):kernel CVE #(s):CVE-2010-4347 CVE-2010-4258 CVE-2010-4165 CVE-2010-4175 CVE-2010-4163
Created:January 3, 2011 Updated:August 9, 2011
Description: From the openSUSE advisory:

CVE-2010-4347: A local user could inject ACPI code into the kernel via the world-writable "custom_debug" file, allowing local privilege escalation.

CVE-2010-4258: A local attacker could use a Oops (kernel crash) caused by other flaws to write a 0 byte to a attacker controlled address in the kernel. This could lead to privilege escalation together with other issues.

CVE-2010-4165: The do_tcp_setsockopt function in net/ipv4/tcp.c in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict TCP_MAXSEG (aka MSS) values, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via a setsockopt call that specifies a small value, leading to a divide-by-zero error or incorrect use of a signed integer.

CVE-2010-4175: A local attacker could cause memory overruns in the RDS protocol stack, potentially crashing the kernel. So far it is considered not to be exploitable.

CVE-2010-4163: By submitting certain I/O requests with 0 length, a local user could have caused a kernel panic.
