SUSE-SA:2005:029: 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:2005:029 (kernel). The Linux kernel is the core component of the Linux system. This update fixes various security as well as non-security problems discovered since the last round of kernel updates. The following security problems have been fixed: - when creating directories on ext2 filesystems the kernel did not zero initialize the memory allocated. Therefore potentially sensitive information could be exposed to users (CVE-2005-0400). All SUSE LINUX based products are affected. - local users can crash the kernel via a crafted ELF library or executable, which causes a free of an invalid pointer (CVE-2005-0749). All SUSE LINUX based products are affected. - local users could gain root access via a bluetooth socket (CVE-2005-0750). The fix for this problem was missing in SUSE LINUX 9.3 only. - local users could gain root access by causing a core dump of specially crafted ELF executables (CVE-2005-1263). The problem is believed to be not exploitable on any SUSE LINUX based product. The patch is included nevertheless. - on the x86-64 platform various bugs permited local users to crash the kernel or CPU (CVE-2005-0756, CVE-2005-1762, CVE-2005-1764, CVE-2005-1765) All SUSE LINUX based products on the x86-64 architecture are affected. - an overflow in the x86-64 ptrace code permited local users to write a few bytes into kernel memory pages they normally shouldn't have access to (CVE-2005-1763). SLES 9 and SUSE LINUX 9.1-9.3 on the x86-64 architecture are affected. - insufficient checks in the 32bit DRM ioctl functions could permit unprivileged local users to gain root access. SLES 9 and SUSE LINUX 9.1-9.3 on the x86-64 architecture are affected.
