The remote host is missing an update to kernel
announced via advisory MDVSA-2011:051.
The do_anonymous_page function in mm/memory.c in the Linux kernel
does not properly separate the stack and the heap, which allows
context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code by writing
to the bottom page of a shared memory segment, as demonstrated by a
memory-exhaustion attack against the X.Org X server. (CVE-2010-2240)
The do_tcp_setsockopt function in net/ipv4/tcp.c in the Linux kernel
does 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-2010-4165)
The copy_shmid_to_user function in ipc/shm.c in the Linux kernel
does not initialize a certain structure, which allows local users to
obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory
via vectors related to the shmctl system call and the old shm
interface. (CVE-2010-4072)
The ipc subsystem in the Linux kernel does not initialize certain
structures, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive
information from kernel stack memory via vectors related to the (1)
compat_sys_semctl, (2) compat_sys_msgctl, and (3) compat_sys_shmctl
functions in ipc/compat.c
and the (4) compat_sys_mq_open and (5)
compat_sys_mq_getsetattr functions in ipc/compat_mq.c. (CVE-2010-4073)
The copy_semid_to_user function in ipc/sem.c in the Linux kernel does
not initialize a certain structure, which allows local users to obtain
potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a (1)
IPC_INFO, (2) SEM_INFO, (3) IPC_STAT, or (4) SEM_STAT command in a
semctl system call. (CVE-2010-4083)
The sisfb_ioctl function in drivers/video/sis/sis_main.c in the Linux
kernel does not properly initialize a certain structure member, which
allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from
kernel stack memory via an FBIOGET_VBLANK ioctl call. (CVE-2010-4078)
The eql_g_master_cfg function in drivers/net/eql.c in the Linux kernel
does not properly initialize a certain structure member, which allows
local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel
stack memory via an EQL_GETMASTRCFG ioctl call. (CVE-2010-3297)
Integer signedness error in the pkt_find_dev_from_minor function in
drivers/block/pktcdvd.c in the Linux kernel allows local users to
obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of
service (invalid pointer dereference and system crash) via a crafted
index value in a PKT_CTRL_CMD_STATUS ioctl call. (CVE-2010-3437)
fs/jfs/xattr.c in the Linux kernel does not properly handle a certain
legacy format for storage of extended attributes, which might allow
local users by bypass intended xattr namespace restrictions via an
os2. substring at the beginning of a name. (CVE-2010-2946)
Multiple integer signedness errors in net/rose/af_rose.c in the
Linux kernel allow local users to cause a denial of service (heap
memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a
rose_getname function call, related to
the rose_bind and rose_connect functions. (CVE-2010-3310)
Integer overflow in the do_io_submit function in fs/aio.c in the
Linux allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly
have unspecified other impact via crafted use of the io_submit system
call. (CVE-2010-3067)
net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c in the ebtables module in the
netfilter framework in the Linux kernel does not require the
CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for setting or modifying rules, which
allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions and
configure arbitrary network-traffic filtering via a modified ebtables
application. (CVE-2010-0007)
The ax25_getname function in net/ax25/af_ax25.c in the Linux kernel
does not initialize a certain structure, which allows local users to
obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory by
reading a copy of this structure. (CVE-2010-3875)
fs/cifs/cifssmb.c in the CIFS implementation in the Linux kernel
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) via an
SMB response packet with an invalid CountHigh value, as demonstrated
by a response from an OS/2 server, related to the CIFSSMBWrite and
CIFSSMBWrite2 functions. (CVE-2010-2248)
The personality subsystem in the Linux kernel has a PER_CLEAR_ON_SETID
setting that does not clear the ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT and MMAP_PAGE_ZERO
flags when executing a setuid or setgid program, which makes it
easier for local users to leverage the details of memory usage to (1)
conduct NULL pointer dereference attacks, (2) bypass the mmap_min_addr
protection mechanism, or (3) defeat address space layout randomization
(ASLR). (CVE-2009-1895)
The load_flat_shared_library function in fs/binfmt_flat.c in the
flat subsystem in the Linux kernel allows local users to cause a
denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or
possibly have unspecified other impact by executing a shared flat
binary. (CVE-2009-2768)
The nfs4_proc_lock function in fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c in the NFSv4 client
in the Linux kernel allows remote NFS servers to cause a denial of
service (NULL pointer dereference and panic) by sending a certain
response containing incorrect file attributes, which trigger attempted
use of an open file that lacks NFSv4 state. (CVE-2009-3726)
The UDP implementation in (1) net/ipv4/udp.c and (2) net/ipv6/udp.c
in the Linux kernel allows local users to gain privileges or cause
a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via
vectors involving the MSG_MORE flag and a UDP socket. (CVE-2009-2698)
Array index error in the gdth_read_event function in
drivers/scsi/gdth.c in the Linux kernel allows local users to cause
a denial of service or possibly gain privileges via a negative event
index in an IOCTL request. (CVE-2009-3080)
Multiple buffer overflows in fs/nfsd/nfs4xdr.c in the XDR
implementation in the NFS server in the Linux kernel allow remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) or possibly execute
arbitrary code via a crafted NFSv4 compound WRITE request, related
to the read_buf and nfsd4_decode_compound functions. (CVE-2010-2521)
net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c in Linux kernel inadvertently copies the
ipv6_fl_socklist from a listening TCP socket to child sockets, which
allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) or double-free
by opening a listeing IPv6 socket,
attaching a flow label, and connecting to that socket. (CVE-2007-1592)
The ec_dev_ioctl function in net/econet/af_econet.c in the Linux
kernel does not require the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability, which allows
local users to bypass intended access restrictions and configure
econet addresses via an SIOCSIFADDR ioctl call. (CVE-2010-3850)
