Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux kernel versions prior to 3.9 Description: The issue is related to the scsi ioctl function in the Linux kernel, which does not properly consider the SCSI device class during authorization of SCSI commands. This allows local users to bypa...

Scientific Linux Security Update : kernel on SL4.x i386/x86_64

Security fixes : - A flaw in sctppacketconfig in the Linux kernel's Stream Control Transmission Protocol SCTP implementation could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. CVE-2010-3432, Important - A missing integer overflow check in sndctlnew in the Linux kernel's sound subsystem...

Scientific Linux Security Update : kernel on SL4.x i386/x86_64

a flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Direct-IO implementation. This could have allowed a local unprivileged user to cause a denial of service. CVE-2007-6716, Important - when running ptrace in 31-bit mode on an IBM S/390 or IBM System z kernel, a local unprivileged user could cause a denial of...

Scientific Linux Security Update : scsi-target-utils on SL5.x i386/x86_64

A format string flaw was found in scsi-target-utils' tgtd daemon. A remote attacker could trigger this flaw by sending a carefully-crafted Internet Storage Name Service iSNS request, causing the tgtd daemon to crash. CVE-2010-0743 All running scsi-target-utils services must be restarted for the...

Scientific Linux Security Update : kernel on SL3.x i386/x86_64

A flaw was found in the handling of process death signals. This allowed a local user to send arbitrary signals to the suid-process executed by that user. A successful exploitation of this flaw depends on the structure of the suid-program and its signal handling. CVE-2007-3848, Important A flaw wa...
