The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux-ti-omap4' package(s) announced via the USN-1119-1 advisory.
Vulnerability Insight:
Dan Rosenberg discovered that the RDS network protocol did not correctly
check certain parameters. A local attacker could exploit this gain root
privileges. (CVE-2010-3904)
Nelson Elhage discovered several problems with the Acorn Econet protocol
driver. A local user could cause a denial of service via a NULL pointer
dereference, escalate privileges by overflowing the kernel stack, and
assign Econet addresses to arbitrary interfaces. (CVE-2010-3848,
CVE-2010-3849, CVE-2010-3850)
Ben Hawkes discovered that the Linux kernel did not correctly validate
memory ranges on 64bit kernels when allocating memory on behalf of 32bit
system calls. On a 64bit system, a local attacker could perform malicious
multicast getsockopt calls to gain root privileges. (CVE-2010-3081)
Tavis Ormandy discovered that the IRDA subsystem did not correctly shut
down. A local attacker could exploit this to cause the system to crash or
possibly gain root privileges. (CVE-2010-2954)
Brad Spengler discovered that the wireless extensions did not correctly
validate certain request sizes. A local attacker could exploit this to read
portions of kernel memory, leading to a loss of privacy. (CVE-2010-2955)
Tavis Ormandy discovered that the session keyring did not correctly check
for its parent. On systems without a default session keyring, a local
attacker could exploit this to crash the system, leading to a denial of
service. (CVE-2010-2960)
Kees Cook discovered that the Intel i915 graphics driver did not correctly
validate memory regions. A local attacker with access to the video card
could read and write arbitrary kernel memory to gain root privileges.
(CVE-2010-2962)
Kees Cook discovered that the V4L1 32bit compat interface did not correctly
validate certain parameters. A local attacker on a 64bit system with access
to a video device could exploit this to gain root privileges.
(CVE-2010-2963)
Robert Swiecki discovered that ftrace did not correctly handle mutexes. A
local attacker could exploit this to crash the kernel, leading to a denial
of service. (CVE-2010-3079)
Tavis Ormandy discovered that the OSS sequencer device did not correctly
shut down. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system or
possibly gain root privileges. (CVE-2010-3080)
Dan Rosenberg discovered that the CD driver did not correctly check
parameters. A local attacker could exploit this to read arbitrary kernel
memory, leading to a loss of privacy. (CVE-2010-3437)
Dan Rosenberg discovered that SCTP did not correctly handle HMAC
calculations. A remote attacker could send specially crafted traffic that
would crash the system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-3705)
Kees Cook discovered that the ethtool interface did not correctly clear
kernel memory. A local attacker could read kernel heap memory, leading to a
loss of privacy. (CVE-2010-3861)
Thomas Pollet discovered that the RDS network protocol did not ... [Please see the references for more information on the vulnerabilities]
