operating system.
Security fixes:
* a NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel NFSv4
implementation. Several of the NFSv4 file locking functions failed to check
whether a file had been opened on the server before performing locking
operations on it. A local, unprivileged user on a system with an NFSv4
share mounted could possibly use this flaw to cause a kernel panic (denial
of service) or escalate their privileges. (CVE-2009-3726, Important)
* a flaw was found in the sctp_process_unk_param() function in the Linux
kernel Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) implementation. A remote
attacker could send a specially-crafted SCTP packet to an SCTP listening
port on a target system, causing a kernel panic (denial of service).
(CVE-2010-1173, Important)
* a race condition between finding a keyring by name and destroying a freed
keyring was found in the Linux kernel key management facility. A local,
unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a kernel panic (denial of
service) or escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-1437, Important)
Red Hat would like to thank Simon Vallet for responsibly reporting
CVE-2009-3726; and Jukka Taimisto and Olli Jarva of Codenomicon Ltd, Nokia
Siemens Networks, and Wind River on behalf of their customer, for
responsibly reporting CVE-2010-1173.
Bug fixes:
* RHBA-2007:0791 introduced a regression in the Journaling Block Device
(JBD). Under certain circumstances, removing a large file (such as 300 MB
or more) did not result in inactive memory being freed, leading to the
system having a large amount of inactive memory. Now, the memory is
correctly freed. (BZ#589155)
* the timer_interrupt() routine did not scale lost real ticks to logical
ticks correctly, possibly causing time drift for 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 4 KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) guests that were booted with the
"divider=x" kernel parameter set to a value greater than 1. "warning: many
lost ticks" messages may have been logged on the affected guest systems.
(BZ#590551)
* a bug could have prevented NFSv3 clients from having the most up-to-date
file attributes for files on a given NFSv3 file system. In cases where a
file type changed, such as if a file was removed and replaced with a
directory of the same name, the NFSv3 client may not have noticed this
change until stat(2) was called (for example, by running "ls -l").
(BZ#596372)
* RHBA-2007:0791 introduced bugs in the Li ...
