linux-source-2.6.8.1 vulnerabilities Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : These remote packages are missing security patches : - linux-doc-2.6.8.1 - linux-headers-2.6.8.1-3 - linux-headers-2.6.8.1-3-386 - linux-headers-2.6.8.1-3-686 - linux-headers-2.6.8.1-3-686-smp - linux-headers-2.6.8.1-3-amd64-generic - linux-headers-2.6.8.1-3-amd64-k8 - linux-headers-2.6.8.1-3-amd64-k8-smp - linux-headers-2.6.8.1-3-amd64-xeon - linux-headers-2.6.8.1-3-k7 - linux-headers-2.6.8.1-3-k7-smp - linux-headers-2.6.8.1-3-power3 - linux-headers-2.6.8.1-3-power3-smp - linux-headers-2.6.8. [...] Description : CVE-2004-0883, CVE-2004-0949: During an audit of the smb file system implementation within Linux, several vulnerabilities were discovered ranging from out of bounds read accesses to kernel level buffer overflows. To exploit any of these vulnerabilities, a possible hacker needs control over the answers of the connected Samba server. This could be achieved by man-in-the-middle attacks or by taking over the Samba server with e. g. the recently disclosed vulnerability in Samba 3.x (see CVE-2004-0882). While any of these vulnerabilities can be easily used as remote denial of service exploits against Linux systems, it is unclear if it is possible for a skilled local or remote attacker to use any of the possible buffer overflows for arbitrary code execution in kernel space. So these bugs may theoretically lead to privilege escalation and total compromise of the whole system. http://isec.pl/vulnerabilities/isec-0017-binfmt_elf.txt: Several flaws have been found in the Linux ELF binar [...] Solution : Upgrade to : - linux-doc-2.6.8.1-2.6.8.1-16.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - linux-headers-2.6.8.1-3-2.6.8.1-16.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - linux-headers-2.6.8.1-3-386-2.6.8.1-16.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - linux-headers-2.6.8.1-3-686-2.6.8.1-16.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - linux-headers-2.6.8.1-3-686-smp-2.6.8.1-16.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - linux-headers-2.6.8.1-3-amd64-generic-2.6.8.1-16.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - linux-headers-2.6.8.1-3-amd64-k8-2.6.8.1-16.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - linux-headers-2.6.8.1-3-amd64-k8-smp-2.6.8.1-16.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - linux-headers-2.6.8.1-3-a [...] Network Security Threat Level: High Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: Ubuntu Security Notice (C) 2005 Canonical, Inc. / NASL script (C) 2005 Michel Arboi |
