Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-614-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux' package(s) announced via the USN-614-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux' package(s) announced via the USN-614-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: It was discovered that PowerPC kernels did not correctly handle reporting certain system details. By requesting a specific set of information, a local attacker could cause a system crash resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2007-6694) A race condition was discovered between dnotify fcntl() and close() in the kernel. If a local attacker performed malicious dnotify requests, they could cause memory consumption leading to a denial of service, or possibly send arbitrary signals to any process. (CVE-2008-1375) On SMP systems, a race condition existed in fcntl(). Local attackers could perform malicious locks, causing system crashes and leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-1669) The tehuti network driver did not correctly handle certain IO functions. A local attacker could perform malicious requests to the driver, potentially accessing kernel memory, leading to privilege escalation or access to private system information. (CVE-2008-1675) Affected Software/OS: 'linux' package(s) on Ubuntu 8.04. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C
