This kernel update fixes the following security problems :

  • A double userspace copy in a SCTP ioctl allows local attackers to overflow a buffer in the kernel, potentially allowing code execution and privilege escalation. [#199441]. (CVE-2006-3745)

  • Local attackers were able to crash PowerPC systems with PPC970 processor using a not correctly disabled privileged instruction (‘attn’). [#197810].
    (CVE-2006-4093)

  • Remote attackers able to access an NFS of a ext2 or ext3 filesystem can cause a denial of service (file system panic) via a crafted UDP packet with a V2 lookup procedure that specifies a bad file handle (inode number), which triggers an error and causes an exported directory to be remounted read-only. [#192988].
    (CVE-2006-3468)

and the following non security bugs :

  • XEN patches/fixes :

  • kunmap_atomic() must zap the PTE to avoid dangling references.

  • Fix oops on io scheduler unload on a process without ioc (backport)

  • OCFS2 updated to to version 1.2.3.

  • update patches.arch/ppc-update_gtod-race.patch: restrict to 64bit only because it leads to deadlocks on ppc32 [#202146]

  • Fix MCA recovery in context switch path [#199472]

  • fix gettimeofday vs. update_gtod race [#197699]

  • LKCD: dump all slab pages. [#196330]

  • Make idle io be lowest priority best-effort [#195387]

  • Fix dropping of wrong cic. [#195387]

  • Fix stale file handle problem with subtree_checking.
    [#195040]

  • Remove Altix PROM bit that can race on MCAs. [#193296]

  • Prevent silent data corruption caused by XPC. [#193132]

  • Fix race condition during COW [#192259]

  • sched: fix group power for allnodes_domains [#191929]

  • Allow dma_alloc_coherent() to work for regions up to 2MB. [#191615]

  • fix ABBA deadlock between cpuset callback_sem and hotplug cpucontrol mutex [#191582]

  • Check for existing sysfs directory prior to creating one [#191360]

  • Fix possible NFS panic in readdir. [#189951]

  • MPT driver: Fix oops on module loading [#189534]

  • SUNRPC: Ensure that rpc_mkpipe returns a refcounted dentry [#183013]

  • Pass file mode on DMAPI remove events [#182691]

  • MPT driver: Fix oops during error recovery [#177919]

  • flush icache on POWER4 cpus to fix itrace crash [#171699]

  • KPROBES: Fix system panic if user doing copy_from_user in the probe handlers [#171483]

  • patches.xen/xen-balloon-max-target: Expose limit domain can be ballooned up to [#152667]

  • Avoid possible soft-lockup, particularly related to md [#152099]

  • reiserfs: fix transaction overflowing [#145070]
