Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : modutils (MDKSA-2000:071-2)

All 2.3.x versions of modutils since March 12 1999 contain a vulnerability that can lead to a local root compromise. The modprobe program uses popen to execute the 'echo' program argumented with user input. Because popen relies on /bin/sh to parse the command string and execute 'echo', un-escaped...

Scientific Linux Security Update : kvm on SL5.x x86_64

A flaw was found in the way QEMU-KVM handled the reloading of fs and gs segment registers when they had invalid selectors. A privileged host user with access to '/dev/kvm' could use this flaw to crash the host denial of service. CVE-2010-3698 The following procedure must be performed before this...

Scientific Linux Security Update : kvm on SL 5.4 x86_64

A flaw was found in the way QEMU-KVM handled erroneous data provided by the Linux virtio-net driver, used by guest operating systems. Due to a deficiency in the TSO TCP segment offloading implementation, a guest's virtio-net driver would transmit improper data to a certain QEMU-KVM process on the...

Scientific Linux Security Update : virt-v2v on SL6.x x86_64

virt-v2v is a tool for converting and importing virtual machines to libvirt-managed KVM Kernel-based Virtual Machine. Using virt-v2v to convert a guest that has a password-protected VNC console to a KVM guest removed that password protection from the converted guest: after conversion, a password...
