| Descripción: | Description:
The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2011:0330.
The kernel-rt packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
operating system.
Security fixes:
* Missing boundary checks in the PPP over L2TP sockets implementation could
allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service or escalate
their privileges. (CVE-2010-4160, Important)
* Integer overflow in ib_uverbs_poll_cq() could allow a local, unprivileged
user to cause a denial of service or escalate their privileges.
(CVE-2010-4649, Important)
* Missing boundary check in dvb_ca_ioctl() in the av7110 module. On systems
using old DVB cards requiring the av7110 module, a local, unprivileged user
could use this flaw to cause a denial of service or escalate their
privileges. (CVE-2011-0521, Important)
* Flaw in tcf_act_police_dump() in the network traffic policing
implementation could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause an
information leak. (CVE-2010-3477, Moderate)
* Missing boundary checks in the block layer implementation could allow a
local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4162,
CVE-2010-4163, CVE-2010-4668, Moderate)
* Divide-by-zero flaw in tcp_select_initial_window() in the Linux kernel's
TCP/IP protocol suite implementation could allow a local, unprivileged user
to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4165, Moderate)
* NULL pointer dereference flaw in the Bluetooth HCI UART driver could
allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2010-4242, Moderate)
* Flaw in the CPU time clocks implementation for the POSIX clock interface
could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2010-4248, Moderate)
* Flaw in the garbage collector for AF_UNIX sockets could allow a local,
unprivileged user to trigger a denial of service (out-of-memory condition).
(CVE-2010-4249, Moderate)
* Memory leak in the inotify_init() system call. In some cases, it could
leak a group, which could allow a local, unprivileged user to eventually
cause a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4250, Moderate)
* /sys/kernel/debug/acpi/custom_method had world-writable permissions,
which could allow a local, unprivileged user to escalate their privileges.
Note: The debugfs file system must be mounted locally to exploit this
issue. It is not mounted by default. (CVE-2010-4347, Moderate)
* Heap overflow in iowarrior_write() could allow a user with access to an
IO-Warrior USB device to cause a denial of service or escalate their
privileges. (CVE-2010-4656, Moderate)
* Missing security check in the Linux kernel's implementation of the
install_special_mapping routine could allow a local, unprivileged user to
bypass the mmap_min_addr protection mechanism. (CVE-2010-4346, Low)
* Information leak in bcm_connect() in the Controller Area Network (CAN)
Broadcast Manager implementation could allow a local, unprivileged user to
leak kernel mode addresses in /proc/net/can-bcm. (CVE-2010-4565, Low)
* A logic error in orinoco_ioctl_set_auth() in the Linux kernel's ORiNOCO
wireless extensions support implementation could render TKIP
countermeasures ineffective when it is enabled, as it enabled the card
instead of shutting it down. (CVE-2010-4648, Low)
* Missing initialization flaw in ethtool_get_regs() could allow a local
user who has the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability to cause an information leak.
(CVE-2010-4655, Low)
* Flaw in ib_uverbs_poll_cq() could allow a local, unprivileged user to
cause an information leak. (CVE-2011-1044, Low)
