USN-1186-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Dan Rosenberg discovered that IPC structures were not correctly initialized on 64bit systems. A local attacker could exploit this to read kernel stack memory, leading to a loss of privacy. CVE-2010-4073 Steve Chen discovered that setsockopt did not correctly check MSS values. A local attacker cou...

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS / 10.10 : linux, linux-ec2 vulnerabilities (USN-1054-1)

Gleb Napatov discovered that KVM did not correctly check certain privileged operations. A local attacker with access to a guest kernel could exploit this to crash the host system, leading to a denial of service. CVE-2010-0435 Dan Rosenberg discovered that the Linux kernel TIPC implementation...

kernel: ipc/shm.c: reading uninitialized stack memory

The copyshmidtouser function in ipc/shm.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37-rc1 does not initialize a certain structure, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via vectors related to the shmctl system call and the "old shm interface."...

CVE-2010-4083

CVE-2010-4083 affects the Linux kernel (pre-2.6.36). The vulnerable code path is copy_semid_to_user() in ipc/sem.c, where a structure is not initialized, enabling local attackers to leak kernel stack memory via semctl commands (IPC_INFO, SEM_INFO, IPC_STAT, SEM_STAT). The issue is mitigated by up...

CVE-2010-4083: Missing Initialization of Resource

The copysemidtouser function in ipc/sem.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36 does not initialize a certain structure, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a 1 IPCINFO, 2 SEMINFO, 3 IPCSTAT, or 4 SEMSTAT command in a semctl system call...

CVE-2010-4072

CVE-2010-4072 affects the Linux kernel: the copy_shmid_to_user function in ipc/shm.c (pre-2.6.37-rc1) does not initialize a certain structure, enabling local users to leak potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via the shmctl interface and the old shm interface. Affected produ...

CVE-2010-4073

CVE-2010-4073 affects the Linux kernel IPC compatibility code: before 2.6.37-rc1, several compat syscall handlers (ipc/compat.c and ipc/compat_mq.c) fail to initialize certain structures, enabling local attackers to read potentially sensitive kernel stack memory via vectors in compat_sys_semctl, ...
