Several local and remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux
kernel that may lead to a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary
code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the
following problems:
CVE-2004-0427
A local denial of service vulnerability in do_fork() has been found.

A local denial of service vulnerability in proc memory handling has
been found.
CVE-2004-0394
A buffer overflow in the panic handling code has been found.
CVE-2004-0447
A local denial of service vulnerability through a null pointer
dereference in the IA64 process handling code has been found.
CVE-2004-0554
A local denial of service vulnerability through an infinite loop in
the signal handler code has been found.
CVE-2004-0565
An information leak in the context switch code has been found on
the IA64 architecture.
CVE-2004-0685
Unsafe use of copy_to_user in USB drivers may disclose sensitive
information.
CVE-2005-0001
A race condition in the i386 page fault handler may allow privilege
escalation.
CVE-2004-0883
Multiple vulnerabilities in the SMB filesystem code may allow denial
of service of information disclosure.
CVE-2004-0949
An information leak discovered in the SMB filesystem code.
CVE-2004-1016
A local denial of service vulnerability has been found in the SCM layer.
CVE-2004-1333
An integer overflow in the terminal code may allow a local denial of
service vulnerability.
CVE-2004-0997
A local privilege escalation in the MIPS assembly code has been found.
CVE-2004-1335
A memory leak in the ip_options_get() function may lead to denial of
service.
CVE-2004-1017
Multiple overflows exist in the io_edgeport driver which might be usable
as a denial of service attack vector.
CVE-2005-0124
Bryan Fulton reported a bounds checking bug in the coda_pioctl function
which may allow local users to execute arbitrary code or trigger a denial
of service attack.
CVE-2005-0528
A local privilege escalation in the mremap function has been found
CVE-2003-0984
Inproper initialization of the RTC may disclose information.
CVE-2004-1070
Insufficient input sanitising in the load_elf_binary() function may
lead to privilege escalation.
CVE-2004-1071
Incorrect error handling in the binfmt_elf loader may lead to privilege
escalation.
CVE-2004-1072
A buffer overflow in the binfmt_elf loader may lead to privilege
escalation or denial of service.
CVE-2004-1073
The open_exec function may disclose information.
CVE-2004-1074
The binfmt code is vulnerable to denial of service through malformed
a.out binaries.
CVE-2004-0138
A denial of service vulnerability in the ELF loader has been found.
CVE-2004-1068
A programming error in the unix_dgram_recvmsg() function may lead to
privilege escalation.
CVE-2004-1234
The ELF loader is vulnerable to denial of service through malformed
binaries.
CVE-2005-0003
Crafted ELF binaries may lead to privilege escalation, due to
insufficient checking of overlapping memory regions.
CVE-2004-1235
A race condition in the load_elf_library() and binfmt_aout() functions
may allow privilege escalation.
CVE-2005-0504
An integer overflow in the Moxa driver may lead to privilege escalation.
CVE-2005-0384
A remote denial of service vulnerability has been found in the PPP
driver.
CVE-2005-0135
An IA64 specific local denial of service vulnerability has been found
in the unw_unwind_to_user() function.
The following matrix explains which kernel version for which architecture
fix the problems mentioned above:
Debian 3.0 (woody)
Source 2.4.19-4
Sun Sparc architecture 26woody1
Little endian MIPS architecture 0.020911.1.woody5
We recommend that you upgrade your kernel package immediately and reboot
the machine.
Upgrade Instructions
wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.
If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:
apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get dist-upgrade
will install corrected packages
You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
