Fedora Legacy Update Advisory
Synopsis: Updated kernel resolves security vulnerabilities
Advisory ID: FLSA:1284
Issue date: 2004-03-02
Product: Red Hat Linux
Keywords: Security
Cross references: https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1284
CVE Names: CAN-2004-0077, CAN-2004-0075, CAN-2004-0010,
CAN-2004-0003

1. Topic:
Updated kernel packages that fix security vulnerabilities which may
allow local users to gain root privileges are now available. These
packages also resolve other minor issues.
2. Relevent releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386, i586, i686, athlon
Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386, i586, i686, athlon
Red Hat Linux 8.0 - i386, i586, i686, athlon
3. Problem description:
The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system.
Paul Starzetz discovered a flaw in return value checking in mremap() in
the Linux kernel versions 2.4.24 and previous that may allow a local
attacker to gain root privileges. No exploit is currently available;
however this issue is exploitable. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0077
to this issue.
The Vicam USB driver in kernel versions prior to 2.4.25 does not use the
copy_from_user function to access userspace, which crosses security
boundaries. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0075 to this issue.
Arjan van de Ven discovered a flaw in ncp_lookup() in ncpfs that could
allow local privilege escalation. ncpfs is only used to allow a system
to mount volumes of NetWare servers or print to NetWare printers. The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CAN-2004-0010 to this issue.
Alan Cox found issues in the R128 Direct Render Infrastructure that
could allow local privilege escalation. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0003
to this issue.
All users are advised to upgrade to these errata packages, which contain
backported security patches that correct these issues.
Fedora Legacy would like to thank Paul Starzetz from ISEC for reporting
the issue CAN-2004-0077, and Dominic Hargreaves for providing
backported rpms for all issues.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which
are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note
that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory
*only* contains the desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via yum and apt. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use yum issue:
yum update
or to use apt:
apt-get update; apt-get upgrade
This will start an interactive process that will result in the
appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. This assumes that you
have yum or apt-get configured for obtaining Fedora Legacy content.
Please visit http://www.fedoralegacy.org/download for directions on how
to configure yum and apt-get.

10. Special Notes:
If you use lilo, you will have to edit your lilo.conf file and shorten
the label of this kernel. The label is too long for lilo, but not for
grub.
