This may have caused other Linux kernel functions to return wrong error codes.\n\n* a divide-by-zero bug in the Linux kernel process scheduler, which may have caused kernel panics on certain systems, has been resolved.\n\n* the netconsole kernel module caused the Linux kernel to hang when slave interfaces of bonded network interfaces were started, resulting in a system hang or kernel panic when restarting the network.\n\n* the '/proc/xen/' directory existed even if systems were not running Red Hat Virtualization. This may have caused problems for third-party software that checks virtualization-ability based on the existence of '/proc/xen/'. Note: this update will remove the '/proc/xen/' directory on systems not running Red Hat Virtualization.\n\nAll Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues.", "published": "2013-07-12T00:00:00", "cvss": {"score": 7.8, "vector": "AV:NETWORK/AC:LOW/Au:NONE/C:NONE/I:NONE/A:COMPLETE/"}, "href": "https://www.tenable.com/plugins/index.php?view=single&id=67790", "cvelist": ["CVE-2008-5702", "CVE-2008-5029", "CVE-2008-5025", "CVE-2008-5300", "CVE-2008-4933", "CVE-2008-3275", "CVE-2008-4934"], "lastseen": "2017-10-29T13:46:13"}, {"id": "SUSE_KERNEL-5920.NASL", "type": "nessus", "title": "openSUSE 10 Security Update : kernel (kernel-5920)", "description": "The openSUSE 10.3 kernel was updated to fix various security problems and bugs.

x86_64 platform did not properly handle (1) a 32-bit process making a 64-bit syscall or (2) a 64-bit process making a 32-bit syscall, which allows local users to bypass certain syscall audit

device nodes, as demonstrated on a filesystem that has been exported with the root_squash option.\n\nCVE-2009-0835 The __secure_computing function in kernel/seccomp.c in the seccomp subsystem in the Linux kernel on the x86_64 platform, when CONFIG_SECCOMP is enabled, does not properly handle (1) a 32-bit process making a 64-bit syscall or (2) a 64-bit process making a 32-bit syscall, which allows

kernel 2.6.29 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or potential code execution via a long nativeFileSystem field in a Tree Connect response to an SMB mount

restrict exit signals when the CAP_KILL capability is held, which allows local users to send an arbitrary signal to a process by running a program that modifies the exit_signal field and then uses an exec system call to launch a setuid application.\n\nCVE-2009-0859: The shm_get_stat function in ipc/shm.c in the shm subsystem in the Linux kernel, when CONFIG_SHMEM is disabled, misinterprets the data type of an inode, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang) via an SHM_INFO shmctl call, as demonstrated by running the ipcs program.
