linux-source-2.6.10, linux-source-2.6.8.1 vulnerabilities Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : These remote packages are missing security patches : - linux-doc-2.6.10 - linux-doc-2.6.8.1 - linux-headers-2.6.10-5 - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-386 - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-686 - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-686-smp - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-amd64-generic - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-amd64-k8 - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-amd64-k8-smp - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-amd64-xeon - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-k7 - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-k7-smp - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-power3 - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-power3-smp - linux-header [...] Description : Alexander Nyberg discovered that ptrace() insufficiently validated addresses on the amd64 platform so that it was possible to set an invalid segment base. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the kernel. This does not affect the i386 and powerpc platforms in any way. (CVE-2005-0756) Chris Wright discovered that the mmap() function could create illegal memory maps (using the "mmap" function) with the start address pointing beyond the end address. A local user could exploit this to crash the kernel or possibly even execute arbitrary code with kernel rights. (CVE-2005-1265) Solution : Upgrade to : - linux-doc-2.6.10-2.6.10-34.2 (Ubuntu 5.04) - linux-doc-2.6.8.1-2.6.8.1-16.19 (Ubuntu 4.10) - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-2.6.10-34.2 (Ubuntu 5.04) - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-386-2.6.10-34.2 (Ubuntu 5.04) - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-686-2.6.10-34.2 (Ubuntu 5.04) - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-686-smp-2.6.10-34.2 (Ubuntu 5.04) - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-amd64-generic-2.6.10-34.2 (Ubuntu 5.04) - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-amd64-k8-2.6.10-34.2 (Ubuntu 5.04) - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-amd64-k8-smp-2.6.10-34.2 (Ubuntu 5 [...] Network Security Threat Level: High Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: Ubuntu Security Notice (C) 2005 Canonical, Inc. / NASL script (C) 2005 Michel Arboi |
