various security issues and some bugs.
The following security issues were fixed:
CVE-2010-4242: The hci_uart_tty_open function in the HCI UART driver
(drivers/bluetooth/hci_ldisc.c) in the Linux kernel did not verify
whether the tty has a write operation, which allowed local users
to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via vectors
related to the Bluetooth driver.
CVE-2010-4527: The load_mixer_volumes function in sound/oss/soundcard.c
in the OSS sound subsystem in the Linux kernel incorrectly expected
that a certain name field ends with a '\0' character, which allowed
local users to conduct buffer overflow attacks and gain privileges,
or possibly obtain sensitive information from kernel memory, via a
SOUND_MIXER_SETLEVELS ioctl call.
CVE-2010-4529: Integer underflow in the irda_getsockopt function in
net/irda/af_irda.c in the Linux kernel on platforms other than x86
allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from
kernel heap memory via an IRLMP_ENUMDEVICES getsockopt call.
CVE-2010-4342: The aun_incoming function in net/econet/af_econet.c in
the Linux kernel, when Econet is enabled, allowed remote attackers
to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS)
by sending an Acorn Universal Networking (AUN) packet over UDP.
CVE-2010-2946: fs/jfs/xattr.c in the Linux kernel did not properly
handle a certain legacy format for storage of extended attributes,
which might have allowed local users by bypass intended xattr namespace
restrictions via an 'os2.' substring at the beginning of a name.
CVE-2010-3848: Stack-based buffer overflow in the econet_sendmsg
function in net/econet/af_econet.c in the Linux kernel, when an
econet address is configured, allowed local users to gain privileges
by providing a large number of iovec structures.
CVE-2010-3849: The econet_sendmsg function in net/econet/af_econet.c
in the Linux kernel, when an econet address is configured, allowed
local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference
and OOPS) via a sendmsg call that specifies a NULL value for the
remote address field.
CVE-2010-3850: The ec_dev_ioctl function in net/econet/af_econet.c
in the Linux kernel does not require the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability,
which allowed local users to bypass intended access restrictions and
configure econet addresses via an SIOCSIFADDR ioctl call.
CVE-2010-4258: The do_exit function in kernel/exit.c in the Linux
