Two New Flaws Haunt Linux Kernel

A pair of new kernel vulnerabilities are threatening the security of systems running current versions of several Linux distributions. One of the flaws gives a remote attacker the ability to crash vulnerable systems and the other leads to root privileges for a local attacker. The most serious of t...

USN-869-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

David Ford discovered that the IPv4 defragmentation routine did not correctly handle oversized packets. A remote attacker could send specially crafted traffic that would cause a system to crash, leading to a denial of service. The fix was included in the earlier kernels from USN-864-1...

kernel: ext4: ext4_group_add() missing initialisation issue

The ext4groupadd function in fs/ext4/resize.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.27 before 2.6.27.19 and 2.6.28 before 2.6.28.7 does not properly initialize the group descriptor during a resize aka resize2fs operation, which might allow local users to cause a denial of service OOPS by arranging for crafted...

kernel: ext4: ext4_isize() denial of service

The ext4isize function in fs/ext4/ext4.h in the Linux kernel 2.6.27 before 2.6.27.19 and 2.6.28 before 2.6.28.7 uses the isizehigh structure member during operations on arbitrary types of files, which allows local users to cause a denial of service CPU consumption and error-message flood by...

kernel: ext4: ext4_fill_super() missing validation issue

The ext4fillsuper function in fs/ext4/super.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.27 before 2.6.27.19 and 2.6.28 before 2.6.28.7 does not validate the superblock configuration, which allows local users to cause a denial of service NULL pointer dereference and OOPS by attempting to mount a crafted ext4...
