"CVE-2009-3889 CVE-2009-3939 kernel: megaraid_sas permissions in sysfs

CVE-2009-3080 kernel: gdth: Prevent negative offsets in ioctl

CVE-2009-4005 kernel: isdn: hfc_usb: fix read buffer overflow

CVE-2009-4020 kernel: hfs buffer overflow

This update fixes the following security issues :

  - an array index error was found in the gdth driver in the
    Linux kernel. A local user could send a specially
    crafted IOCTL request that would cause a denial of
    service or, possibly, privilege escalation.
    (CVE-2009-3080, Important)

  - a flaw was found in the collect_rx_frame() function in
    the HiSax ISDN driver (hfc_usb) in the Linux kernel. An
    attacker could use this flaw to send a specially crafted
    HDLC packet that could trigger a buffer out of bounds,
    possibly resulting in a denial of service.
    (CVE-2009-4005, Important)

  - permission issues were found in the megaraid_sas driver
    (for SAS based RAID controllers) in the Linux kernel.
    The 'dbg_lvl' and 'poll_mode_io' files on the sysfs file
    system ('/sys/') had world-writable permissions. This
    could allow local, unprivileged users to change the
    behavior of the driver. (CVE-2009-3889, CVE-2009-3939,
    Moderate)

  - a buffer overflow flaw was found in the hfs_bnode_read()
    function in the HFS file system implementation in the
    Linux kernel. This could lead to a denial of service if
    a user browsed a specially crafted HFS file system, for
    example, by running 'ls'. (CVE-2009-4020, Low)

This update also fixes the following bugs :

  - if a process was using ptrace() to trace a
    multi-threaded process, and that multi-threaded process
    dumped its core, the process performing the trace could
    hang in wait4(). This issue could be triggered by
    running 'strace -f' on a multi-threaded process that was
    dumping its core, resulting in the strace command
    hanging. (BZ#555869)

  - a bug in the ptrace() implementation could have, in some
    cases, caused ptrace_detach() to create a zombie process
    if the process being traced was terminated with a
    SIGKILL signal. (BZ#555869)

  - the kernel-2.6.9-89.0.19.EL update resolved an issue
    (CVE-2009-4537) in the Realtek r8169 Ethernet driver.
    This update implements a better solution for that issue.
    Note: This is not a security regression. The original
    fix was complete. This update is adding the official
    upstream fix. (BZ#556406)

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