The SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 Service Pack 2 kernel was updated to fix some security issues and various bugs.

The following security problems have been fixed :

  • net/atm/svc.c in the ATM subsystem allowed local users to cause a denial of service (kernel infinite loop) by making two calls to svc_listen for the same socket, and then reading a /proc/net/atm/ *vc file, related to corruption of the vcc table. (CVE-2008-5079)

  • The __scm_destroy function in net/core/scm.c makes indirect recursive calls to itself through calls to the fput function, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via vectors related to sending an SCM_RIGHTS message through a UNIX domain socket and closing file descriptors. (CVE-2008-5029)

  • Buffer overflow in the hfsplus_find_cat function in fs/hfsplus/catalog.c allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or system crash) via an hfsplus filesystem image with an invalid catalog namelength field, related to the hfsplus_cat_build_key_uni function. (CVE-2008-4933)

  • Stack-based buffer overflow in the hfs_cat_find_brec function in fs/hfs/catalog.c allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or system crash) via an hfs filesystem image with an invalid catalog namelength field, a related issue to CVE-2008-4933.
    (CVE-2008-5025)

  • The inotify functionality might allow local users to gain privileges via unknown vectors related to race conditions in inotify watch removal and umount.
    (CVE-2008-5182)

A lot of other bugs were fixed, a detailed list can be found in the RPM changelog.
