Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-47-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux-source-2.6.8.1' package(s) announced via the USN-47-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux-source-2.6.8.1' package(s) announced via the USN-47-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: 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 CAN-2004-1016). Affected Software/OS: 'linux-source-2.6.8.1' package(s) on Ubuntu 4.10. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 2.1 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
