kernel: multiple vulnerabilities

Package(s):kernel CVE #(s):CVE-2011-2497 CVE-2011-2517
Created:July 12, 2011 Updated:September 13, 2011
Description: From the kernel patch by Dan Rosenberg:

A remote user can provide a small value for the command size field in the command header of an l2cap configuration request, resulting in an integer underflow when subtracting the size of the configuration request header. This results in copying a very large amount of data via memcpy() and destroying the kernel heap. Check for underflow. (CVE-2011-2497)

From the Red Hat bugzilla:

In both trigger_scan and sched_scan operations, we were checking for the SSID length before assigning the value correctly. Since the memory was just kzalloc'ed, the check was always failing and SSID with over 32 characters were allowed to go through. (CVE-2011-2517)
