USN-331-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

A Denial of service vulnerability was reported in iptables' SCTP conntrack module. On computers which use this iptables module, a remote attacker could expoit this to trigger a kernel crash. CVE-2006-2934 A buffer overflow has been discovered in the dvdreadbca function. By inserting a specially...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : kernel (MDKSA-2006:123)

A number of vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux 2.6 kernel : The kernel did not clear sockaddrin.sinzero before returning IPv4 socket names for the getsockopt function, which could allow a local user to obtain portions of potentially sensitive memory if getsockopt is called...

Linux kernel fails to properly handle malformed SCTP packets

Overview It is possible to cause a denial of service of the Linux kernel by sending a SCTP packet containing no chunks. Description The Stream Control Transmission Protocol SCTP, RFC 2960 is a transport layer protocol which provides reliable, sequential transport of message streams with congestio...

CVE-2006-3085

CVE-2006-3085 affects the Linux kernel’s SCTP handling in xt_sctp within netfilter, where an SCTP chunk of length 0 can trigger a DoS either by an infinite loop (or crash in some reports). The vulnerability is listed as applicable to kernels before 2.6.17.1. Public references from multiple source...

USN-302-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

An integer overflow was discovered in the doreplace function. A local user process with the CAPNETADMIN capability could exploit this to execute arbitrary commands with full root privileges. However, none of Ubuntu's supported packages use this capability with any non-root user, so this only...
