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 was discovered in the sys_set_mempolicy() function. By calling the function with a negative first argument, a local attacker could cause a kernel crash. (CVE-2005-3053) A race condition was discovered in the handling of shared memory mappings with CLONE_VM. A local attacker could exploit this to cause a deadlock (Denial of Service) by triggering a core dump while waiting for a thread which had just performed an exec() system call. (CVE-2005-3106) A race condition was found in the handling of traced processes. When one thread was tracing another thread that shared the same memory map, a local attacker could trigger a deadlock (Denial of Service) by forcing a core dump when the traced thread was in the TASK_TRACED state. (CVE-2005-3107) A vulnerability has been found in the "ioremap" module. By performing certain IO mapping operations, a local attacker could either read memory pages he has not normally access to (information leak) or cause a kernel crash (Denial of Servic [...] Solution : Upgrade to : - linux-doc-2.6.10-2.6.10-34.7 (Ubuntu 5.04) - linux-doc-2.6.8.1-2.6.8.1-16.24 (Ubuntu 4.10) - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-2.6.10-34.7 (Ubuntu 5.04) - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-386-2.6.10-34.7 (Ubuntu 5.04) - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-686-2.6.10-34.7 (Ubuntu 5.04) - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-686-smp-2.6.10-34.7 (Ubuntu 5.04) - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-amd64-generic-2.6.10-34.7 (Ubuntu 5.04) - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-amd64-k8-2.6.10-34.7 (Ubuntu 5.04) - linux-headers-2.6.10-5-amd64-k8-smp-2.6.10-34.7 (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 |
