CVE-2009-2692 kernel: uninit op in SOCKOPS_WRAP() leads to privesc

CVE-2009-2698 kernel: udp socket NULL ptr dereference

These updated packages fix the following security issues :

  • a flaw was found in the SOCKOPS_WRAP macro in the Linux kernel. This macro did not initialize the sendpage operation in the proto_ops structure correctly. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a local denial of service or escalate their privileges.
    (CVE-2009-2692, Important)

  • a flaw was found in the udp_sendmsg() implementation in the Linux kernel when using the MSG_MORE flag on UDP sockets. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a local denial of service or escalate their privileges. (CVE-2009-2698, Important)

The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.
