MGASA-2013-0010 Date: January 18th, 2013 Affected releases: 2 Description: This kernel update provides an upgrade to upstream 3.4-longterm branch. This allows us to benefit from extra tests and maintenance from upstream developers and testers, providing a very good base for Mageia users. It also fixes the following security issues: Calling uname() with the UNAME26 personality set allows a leak of kernel stack contents. (CVE-2012-0957) NFC: Fix multiple remotely-exploitable stack-based buffer overflows due to the NCI code pulling length fields directly from incoming frames and copying too much data into statically-sized arrays. (CVE-2012-3364) A use-after-free flaw has been found in madvise_remove() function in the Linux kernel. madvise_remove() can race with munmap (causing a use-after-free of the vma) or with close (causing a use-after-free of the struct file). An unprivileged local user can use this flaw to crash the system. (CVE-2012-3510) Pablo Neira Ayuso discovered that avahi and potentially NetworkManager accept spoofed Netlink messages because of a kernel bug. The kernel passes all-zero SCM_CREDENTIALS ancillary data to the receiver if the sender did not provide such data, instead of not including any such data at all or including the correct data from the peer (as it is the case with AF_UNIX). (CVE-2012-3520) As Tetsuo Handa pointed out, request_module() can stress the system while the oom-killed caller sleeps in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE. The task T uses "almost all" memory, then it does something which triggers request_module(). Say, it can simply call sys_socket(). This in turn needs more memory and leads to OOM. oom-killer correctly chooses T and kills it, but this can't help because it sleeps in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and after that oom-killer becomes "disabled" by the TIF_MEMDIE task T.A local unprivileged user can make the system unusable. (CVE-2012-4398) A flaw has been found in the way Linux kernel's KVM subsystem handled vcpu->arch.cr4 X86_CR4_OSXSAVE bit set upon guest enter. On hosts without the XSAVE feature and using qemu userspace an unprivileged local user could use this flaw to crash the system. (CVE-2012-4461) Commit 644595f89620 ("compat: Handle COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME in net/socket.c") introduced a bug where the helper functions to take either a 64-bit or compat time[spec|val] got the arguments in the wrong order, passing the kernel stack pointer off as a user pointer (and vice versa). Because of the user address range check, that in turn then causes an EFAULT due to the user pointer range checking failing for the kernel address. Incorrectly resuling in a failed system call for 32-bit processes with a 64-bit kernel. On odder architectures like HP-PA (with separate user/kernel address spaces), it can be used read kernel memory. (CVE-2012-4467) A race condition flaw has been found in the way asynchronous I/O and fallocate interacted which can lead to exposure of stale data -- that is, an extent which should have had the "uninitialized" bit set indicating that its blocks have not yet been written and thus contain data from a deleted file. An unprivileged local user could use this flaw to cause an information leak. (CVE-2012-4508) Reading TCP stats when using TCP Illinois congestion control algorithm can cause a divide by zero kernel oops.An unprivileged local user could use this flaw to crash the system. (CVE-2012-4565) Other fixes in this release: module: fix symbol waiting when module fails before init, wait when loading a module which is currently initializing. (mga #7375) backport Wacom Intuos 5 support: (#7659) add support for Atheros AR8161/8165 Atheros PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (mga #7853) conflict dkms packages not supporting 3.4 series kernels kernel-source does not add build & source symlinks anymore as they mess with dkms builds. switch server kernel image compression back to GZIP so it works with Amazon EC2 and other older XEN setups. For other changes in 3.4 series kernel, see the kernelnewbies link, and the referenced stable changelogs. Prebuilt modules have also been fixed and rebuilt to match this kernel.
