"This update fixes a several security issues and various bugs in the
SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP 2 kernel.
The following security issues were fixed: CVE-2009-3939: A sysctl
variable of the megaraid_sas driver was worldwriteable, allowing local
users to cause a denial of service or potential code execution.
- The collect_rx_frame function in
drivers/isdn/hisax/hfc_usb.c in the Linux kernel before
2.6.32-rc7 allows attackers to have an unspecified
impact via a crafted HDLC packet that arrives over ISDN
and triggers a buffer under-read. (CVE-2009-4005)
- A negative offset in a ioctl in the GDTH RAID driver was
fixed. (CVE-2009-3080)
- The fuse_direct_io function in fs/fuse/file.c in the
fuse subsystem in the Linux kernel might allow attackers
to cause a denial of service (invalid pointer
dereference and OOPS) via vectors possibly related to a
memory-consumption attack. (CVE-2009-4021)
- The dbg_lvl file for the megaraid_sas driver in the
Linux kernel before 2.6.27 has world-writable
permissions, which allows local users to change the (1)
behavior and (2) logging level of the driver by
modifying this file. (CVE-2009-3889)
- Memory leak in the appletalk subsystem in the Linux
kernel when the appletalk and ipddp modules are loaded
but the ipddp'N' device is not found, allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (memory
consumption) via IP-DDP datagrams. (CVE-2009-2903)
- net/unix/af_unix.c in the Linux kernel allows local
users to cause a denial of service (system hang) by
creating an abstract-namespace AF_UNIX listening socket,
performing a shutdown operation on this socket, and then
performing a series of connect operations to this
socket. (CVE-2009-3621)
- The tcf_fill_node function in net/sched/cls_api.c in the
netlink subsystem in the Linux kernel 2.6.x before
2.6.32-rc5, and 2.4.37.6 and earlier, does not
initialize a certain tcm__pad2 structure member, which
might allow local users to obtain sensitive information
from kernel memory via unspecified vectors. NOTE: this
issue existed because of an incomplete fix for
CVE-2005-4881. (CVE-2009-3612 / CVE-2005-4881)
- The ATI Rage 128 (aka r128) driver in the Linux kernel
does not properly verify Concurrent Command Engine (CCE)
state initialization, which allows local users to cause
a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system
crash) or possibly gain privileges via unspecified ioctl
calls. (CVE-2009-3620)
- The nfs4_proc_lock function in fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c in the
NFSv4 client in the Linux kernel allows remote NFS
servers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
dereference and panic) by sending a certain response
containing incorrect file attributes, which trigger
attempted use of an open file that lacks NFSv4 state.
(CVE-2009-3726)
- The swiotlb functionality in the r8169 driver in
drivers/net/r8169.c in the Linux kernel allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (IOMMU space
exhaustion and system crash) by using jumbo frames for a
large amount of network traffic, as demonstrated by a
flood ping. (CVE-2009-3613)
The rio and sx serial multiport card drivers were disabled via a
modprobe blacklist due to severe bugs.
For a full list of changes, please read the RPM changelog."
