USN-1023-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Nelson Elhage discovered several problems with the Acorn Econet protocol driver. A local user could cause a denial of service via a NULL pointer dereference, escalate privileges by overflowing the kernel stack, and assign Econet addresses to arbitrary interfaces. CVE-2010-3848, CVE-2010-3849,...

CVE-2010-3848

Stack-based buffer overflow in the econetsendmsg function in net/econet/afeconet.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36.2, when an econet address is configured, allows local users to gain privileges by providing a large number of iovec structures...

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS / 8.04 LTS / 9.10 / 10.04 LTS / 10.10 : linux, linux-{ec2,source-2.6.15} vulnerabilities (USN-1023-1)

Nelson Elhage discovered several problems with the Acorn Econet protocol driver. A local user could cause a denial of service via a NULL pointer dereference, escalate privileges by overflowing the kernel stack, and assign Econet addresses to arbitrary interfaces. CVE-2010-3848, CVE-2010-3849,...

CVE-2010-3850

The ecdevioctl function in net/econet/afeconet.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36.2 does not require the CAPNETADMIN capability, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions and configure econet addresses via an SIOCSIFADDR ioctl call...

kernel: numerous getname() infoleaks

The Linux kernel before 2.6.31-rc7 does not initialize certain data structures within getname functions, which allows local users to read the contents of some kernel memory locations by calling getsockname on 1 an AFAPPLETALK socket, related to the atalkgetname function in net/appletalk/ddp.c; 2 ...
