A number of vulnerabilities are fixed in the 2.4 and 2.6 kernels with this advisory :

  • Multiple race conditions in the terminal layer of 2.4 and 2.6 kernels (prior to 2.6.9) can allow a local attacker to obtain portions of kernel data or allow remote attackers to cause a kernel panic by switching from console to PPP line discipline, then quickly sending data that is received during the switch (CVE-2004-0814)

  • Richard Hart found an integer underflow problem in the iptables firewall logging rules that can allow a remote attacker to crash the machine by using a specially crafted IP packet. This is only possible, however, if firewalling is enabled. The problem only affects 2.6 kernels and was fixed upstream in 2.6.8 (CVE-2004-0816)

  • Stefan Esser found several remote DoS confitions in the smbfs file system. This could be exploited by a hostile SMB server (or an attacker injecting packets into the network) to crash the client systems (CVE-2004-0883 and CVE-2004-0949)

  • Paul Starzetz and Georgi Guninski reported, independently, that bad argument handling and bad integer arithmetics in the IPv4 sendmsg handling of control messages could lead to a local attacker crashing the machine. The fixes were done by Herbert Xu (CVE-2004-1016)

  • Rob Landley discovered a race condition in the handling of /proc/…/cmdline where, under rare circumstances, a user could read the environment variables of another process that was still spawning leading to the potential disclosure of sensitive information such as passwords (CVE-2004-1058)

  • Paul Starzetz reported that the missing serialization in unix_dgram_recvmsg() which was added to kernel 2.4.28 can be used by a local attacker to gain elevated (root) privileges (CVE-2004-1068)

  • Ross Kendall Axe discovered a possible kernel panic (DoS) while sending AF_UNIX network packets if certain SELinux-related kernel options were enabled. By default the CONFIG_SECURITY_NETWORK and CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX options are not enabled (CVE-2004-1069)

  • Paul Starzetz of isec.pl discovered several issues with the error handling of the ELF loader routines in the kernel. The fixes were provided by Chris Wright (CVE-2004-1070, CVE-2004-1071, CVE-2004-1072, CVE-2004-1073)

  • It was discovered that hand-crafted a.out binaries could be used to trigger a local DoS condition in both the 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. The fixes were done by Chris Wright (CVE-2004-1074)

  • Paul Starzetz found bad handling in the IGMP code which could lead to a local attacker being able to crash the machine. The fix was done by Chris Wright (CVE-2004-1137)

  • Jeremy Fitzhardinge discovered two buffer overflows in the sys32_ni_syscall() and sys32_vm86_warning() functions that could be used to overwrite kernel memory with attacker-supplied code resulting in privilege escalation (CVE-2004-1151)

  • Paul Starzetz found locally exploitable flaws in the binary format loader’s uselib() function that could be abused to allow a local user to obtain root privileges (CVE-2004-1235)

  • Paul Starzetz found an exploitable flaw in the page fault handler when running on SMP machines (CVE-2005-0001)

  • A vulnerability in insert_vm_struct could allow a locla user to trigger BUG() when the user created a large vma that overlapped with arg pages during exec (CVE-2005-0003)

  • Paul Starzetz also found a number of vulnerabilities in the kernel binfmt_elf loader that could lead a local user to obtain elevated (root) privileges (isec-0017-binfmt_elf)

The provided packages are patched to fix these vulnerabilities. All users are encouraged to upgrade to these updated kernels.

To update your kernel, please follow the directions located at :

http://www.mandrakesoft.com/security/kernelupdate

PLEASE NOTE: Mandrakelinux 10.0 users will need to upgrade to the latest module-init-tools package prior to upgrading their kernel.
Likewise, MNF8.2 users will need to upgrade to the latest modutils package prior to upgrading their kernel.
