Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service, or privilege escalation. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  • CVE-2009-1895 Julien Tinnes and Tavis Ormandy reported an issue in the Linux personality code. Local users can take advantage of a setuid binary that can either be made to dereference a NULL pointer or drop privileges and return control to the user. This allows a user to bypass mmap_min_addr restrictions which can be exploited to execute arbitrary code.

  • CVE-2009-2287 Matt T. Yourst discovered an issue in the kvm subsystem.
    Local users with permission to manipulate /dev/kvm can cause a denial of service (hang) by providing an invalid cr3 value to the KVM_SET_SREGS call.

  • CVE-2009-2406 CVE-2009-2407 Ramon de Carvalho Valle discovered two issues with the eCryptfs layered filesystem using the fsfuzzer utility.
    A local user with permissions to perform an eCryptfs mount may modify the contents of a eCryptfs file, overflowing the stack and potentially gaining elevated privileges.

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.6.26-17lenny1.

For the oldstable distribution (etch), these problems, where
applicable, will be fixed in updates to linux-2.6 and linux-2.6.24.

Note: Debian carefully tracks all known security issues across every
linux kernel package in all releases under active security support.
However, given the high frequency at which low-severity security
issues are discovered in the kernel and the resource requirements of
doing an update, updates for lower priority issues will normally not
be released for all kernels at the same time. Rather, they will be
released in a staggered or 'leap-frog' fashion."
