SUSE-SA:2004:024: kernel |
||
Check for the version of the kernel package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory SUSE-SA:2004:024 (kernel). This kernel is vulnerable to a race condition in the 64-bit file offset handling code. The file offset pointer (f_pos) is changed during reading, writing, and seeking through a file to point to the current position in a file. The Linux kernel offers a 32bit and a 64bit API. Unfortunately the value conversion between this two APIs as well as the access to the f_pos pointer is defective. A possible hacker, exploiting this flaw, would need local access to the machine. Upon successful exploitation, a possible hacker would be able to read potentially confidential kernel memory. Additionally a bug in the implementation of chown(2) for updating inode times, and a denial-of-service condition that can occur while handling signals was fixed.
