Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu USN-451-1 (linux-source-2.6.15/2.6.17)
Summary:	Ubuntu USN-451-1 (linux-source-2.6.15/2.6.17)
Description:	The remote host is missing an update to linux-source-2.6.15/2.6.17 announced via advisory USN-451-1. A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Ubuntu 6.10 This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu. Details follow: The kernel key management code did not correctly handle key reuse. A local attacker could create many key requests, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2007-0006) The kernel NFS code did not correctly validate NFSACL2 ACCESS requests. If a system was serving NFS mounts, a remote attacker could send a specially crafted packet, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2007-0772) When dumping core, the kernel did not correctly handle PT_INTERP processes. A local attacker could create situations where they could read the contents of otherwise unreadable executable programs. (CVE-2007-0958) Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS: linux-image-2.6.15-28-386 2.6.15-28.53 linux-image-2.6.15-28-686 2.6.15-28.53 linux-image-2.6.15-28-amd64-generic 2.6.15-28.53 linux-image-2.6.15-28-amd64-k8 2.6.15-28.53 linux-image-2.6.15-28-amd64-server 2.6.15-28.53 linux-image-2.6.15-28-amd64-xeon 2.6.15-28.53 linux-image-2.6.15-28-k7 2.6.15-28.53 linux-image-2.6.15-28-powerpc 2.6.15-28.53 linux-image-2.6.15-28-powerpc-smp 2.6.15-28.53 linux-image-2.6.15-28-powerpc64-smp 2.6.15-28.53 linux-image-2.6.15-28-server 2.6.15-28.53 linux-image-2.6.15-28-server-bigiron 2.6.15-28.53 linux-image-2.6.15-28-sparc64 2.6.15-28.53 linux-image-2.6.15-28-sparc64-smp 2.6.15-28.53 Ubuntu 6.10: linux-image-2.6.17-11-386 2.6.17.1-11.37 linux-image-2.6.17-11-generic 2.6.17.1-11.37 linux-image-2.6.17-11-powerpc 2.6.17.1-11.37 linux-image-2.6.17-11-powerpc-smp 2.6.17.1-11.37 linux-image-2.6.17-11-powerpc64-smp 2.6.17.1-11.37 linux-image-2.6.17-11-server 2.6.17.1-11.37 linux-image-2.6.17-11-server-bigiron 2.6.17.1-11.37 linux-image-2.6.17-11-sparc64 2.6.17.1-11.37 linux-image-2.6.17-11-sparc64-smp 2.6.17.1-11.37 After a standard system upgrade you need to reboot your computer to effect the necessary changes. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-451-1 Risk factor : High
