| Description: | Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux, linux-ec2, linux-fsl-imx51, linux-mvl-dove, linux-source-2.6.15' package(s) announced via the USN-914-1 advisory.
Vulnerability Insight:
Mathias Krause discovered that the Linux kernel did not correctly handle
missing ELF interpreters. A local attacker could exploit this to cause the
system to crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-0307)
Marcelo Tosatti discovered that the Linux kernel's hardware virtualization
did not correctly handle reading the /dev/port special device. A local
attacker in a guest operating system could issue a specific read that
would cause the host system to crash, leading to a denial of service.
(CVE-2010-0309)
Sebastian Krahmer discovered that the Linux kernel did not correctly
handle netlink connector messages. A local attacker could exploit this
to consume kernel memory, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-0410)
Ramon de Carvalho Valle discovered that the Linux kernel did not correctly
validate certain memory migration calls. A local attacker could exploit
this to read arbitrary kernel memory or cause a system crash, leading
to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-0415)
Jermome Marchand and Mikael Pettersson discovered that the Linux kernel
did not correctly handle certain futex operations. A local attacker could
exploit this to cause a system crash, leading to a denial of service.
