Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50483
Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu 4.10 USN-47-1 (linux-source-2.6.8.1)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to linux-source-2.6.8.1 announced via advisory USN-47-1. Georgi Guninski discovered two Denial of Service vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel. An integer overflow in the vc_resize() function caused the memory allocation for the new screen being too short, thus causing a buffer overflow and a kernel crash. There was also a memory leak in the ip_options_get() function. Calling ip_cmsg_send() very often would gradually exhaust memory. Note: The original advisory (see URL above) also mentions a 'ip_options_get integer overflow'. This was already fixed in USN-38-1 (known as CVE-2004-1016). The following packages are affected: linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-386 linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-686 linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-686-smp linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-amd64-generic linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-amd64-k8 linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-amd64-k8-smp linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-amd64-xeon linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-k7 linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-k7-smp linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-power3 linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-power3-smp linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-power4 linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-power4-smp linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-powerpc linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-powerpc-smp Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 2.6.8.1-16.5. You need to reboot the computer after doing a standard system upgrade to effect the necessary changes. http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2004-December/000049.html http://lists.netsys.com/pipermail/full-disclosure/2004-December/030011.html Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 2.1
