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 : A Denial of Service vulnerability has been discovered in the ptrace() call on the amd64 platform. By calling ptrace() with specially crafted ("non-canonical") addresses, a local attacker could cause the kernel to crash. This only affects the amd64 platform. (CVE-2005-1762) ZouNanHai discovered that a local user could hang the kernel by invoking syscall() with specially crafted arguments. This only affects the amd64 platform when running in the 32 bit compatibility mode. (CVE-2005-1765) Solution : Upgrade to : - linux-doc-2.6.10-2.6.10-34.3 (Ubuntu 5.04) - linux-doc-2.6.8.1-2.6.8.1-16.20 (Ubuntu 4.10) - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-2.6.10-34.3 (Ubuntu 5.04) - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-386-2.6.10-34.3 (Ubuntu 5.04) - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-686-2.6.10-34.3 (Ubuntu 5.04) - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-686-smp-2.6.10-34.3 (Ubuntu 5.04) - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-amd64-generic-2.6.10-34.3 (Ubuntu 5.04) - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-amd64-k8-2.6.10-34.3 (Ubuntu 5.04) - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-amd64-k8-smp-2.6.10-34.3 (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 |
