HTTP RaQ550-All-Kernel-0.0.1-2.4.19C10_V-1.pkg Posted:September 29, 2003 FTP Point your FTP client to ftp://ftp.cobalt.sun.com Size: 10,888,222 This kernel update addresses various security issues found in the Linux Kernel. * /proc/tty/driver/serial reveals the exact character counts for serial links. This could be used by a local attacker to infer password lengths and inter-keystroke timings during password entry. CAN-2003-0461 * File read race condition existing in the execve() system call, which could cause a local crash. CAN-2003-0462 * The /proc filesystem in Linux allows local users to obtain sensitive information by opening various entries in /proc/self before executing a setuid program. This causes the program to fail to change the ownership and permissions of already opened entries. CAN-2003-0501 * The execve system call in Linux 2.4.x records the file descriptor of the executable process in the file table of the calling process, allowing local users to gain read access to restricted file descriptors. CAN-2003-0476 * The STP protocol is known to have no security, which could allow attackers to alter the bridge topology. STP is now turned off by default. CAN-2003-0550 * STP input processing was lax in its length checking, which could lead to a denial of service. CAN-2003-0551 * The Forwarding table could be spoofed by sending forged packets with bogus source addresses the same as the local host. CAN-2003-0552 * Integer signedness error in the decode_fh function of nfs3xdr.c in Linux kernel before 2.4.21 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) via a negative size value within XDR data of an NFSv3 procedure call. CAN-2003-0619 * fix a possible NULL pointer reference in include/linux/sched.h:is_dumpable() Pre-Requisites: RaQ550-All-Kernel-0.0.1-2.4.19C9_V-1.pkg Reboot Required: Yes MD5 Check Sum: 05aa0854a27e5b7c87113c8a0b2ab286 |
