 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDKSA-2005:218

 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Package : kernel
 Date    : November 30, 2005
 Affected: Corporate 3.0, Multi Network Firewall 2.0
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Problem Description:
 
 Multiple vulnerabilities in the Linux 2.6 kernel have been discovered
 and corrected in this update:
 
 An integer overflow in vc_resize (CAN-2004-1333).
 
 A race condition in the sysfs_read_file and sysfs_write_file functions
 in 2.6.10 and earlier allows local users to read kernel memory and
 cause a DoS (crash) via large offsets in sysfs files (CAN-2004-2302).
 
 An integer signedness error in scsi_ioctl.c (CVE-2005-0180).
 
 Netfilter allows a local user to cause a DoS (memory consumption) via
 certain packet fragments that are reassembled twice, which causes a
 data structure to be allocated twice (CVE-2005-0210).
 
 The netfilter/iptables module in versions prior to 2.6.8.1 allow remote
 attackers to cause a DoS (crash) or bypass firewall rules via crafted
 packets, which are not properly handled by skb_checksum_help function
 (CVE-2005-0449).
 
 The zisofs driver in versions prior to 2.6.12.5 allows local users and
 remove attackers to cause a DoS (crash) via a crafted compressed ISO
 filesystem (CVE-2005-2457).
 
 The kernel does not properly restrict socket policy access to users
 with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability, which could allow local users to
 conduct unauthorized activities via ipv4/ip_sockglue.c and
 ipv6/ipv6_sockglue.c (CVE-2005-2555).
 
 A memory leak in the seq_file implementation in the SCSI procfs
 interface (sg.c) in 2.6.13 and earlier allows a local user to cause a
 DoS (memory consumption) via certain repeated reads from
 /proc/scsi/gs/devices file which is not properly handled when the
 next() interator returns NULL or an error (CVE-2005-2800).
 
 Multiple vulnerabilities in versions prior to 2.6.13.2 allow local
 users to cause a DoS (oops from null dereference) via fput in a 32bit
 ioctl on 64-bit x86 systems or sockfd_put in the 32-bit routing_ioctl
 function on 64-bit systems (CVE-2005-3044).
 
 Versions 2.6.8 to 2.6.14-rc2 allow local users to cause a DoS (oops)
 via a userspace process that issues a USB Request Block (URB) to a USB
 device and terminates before the URB is finished, which leads to a
 stale pointer reference (CVE-2005-3055).
 
 The Orinoco driver in 2.6.13 and earlier does not properly clear memory
 from a previously used packet whose length is increased, allowing
 remote attackers to obtain sensitive information (CVE-2005-3180).
 
 Kernels 2.6.13 and earlier, when CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL is enabled, use an
 incorrect function to free names_cache memory, preventing the memory
 from being tracked by AUDITSYSCALL code and leading to a memory leak
 (CVE-2005-3181).
 
 The VT implementation in version 2.6.12 allows local users to use
 certain IOCTLs on terminals of other users and gain privileges
 (CVE-2005-3257).
 
 Exec does not properly clear posix-timers in multi-threaded
 environments, which result in a resource leak and could allow a large
 number of multiple local users to cause a DoS by using more posix-
 timers than specified by the quota for a single user (CVE-2005-3271).
 
 The rose_rt_ioctl function rose_route.c in versions prior to 2.6.12
 does not properly verify the ndigis argument for a new route, allowing
 an attacker to trigger array out-of-bounds errors with a large number
 of digipeats (CVE-2005-3273).
 
 A race condition in ip_vs_conn_flush in versions prior to 2.6.13, when
 running on SMP systems, allows local users to cause a DoS (null
 dereference) by causing a connection timer to expire while the
 connection table is being flushed before the appropriate lock is
 acquired (CVE-2005-3274).
 
 The NAT code in versions prior to 2.6.13 incorrectly declares a
 variable to be static, allowing remote attackers to cause a DoS (memory
 corruption) by causing two packets for the same protocol to be NATed at
 the same time (CVE-2005-3275).
 
 The sys_get_thread_area function in process.c in versions prior to
 2.6.12.4 and 2.6.13 does not clear a data structure before copying it
 to userspace, which may allow a user process to obtain sensitive
 information (CVE-2005-3276).
 
 The following non-security fixes are also applied:
 
 Support for the arp_ignore and arp_announce sysctls were added to the
 Corporate 3 kernels (bugzilla #16346).
 
 The provided packages are patched to fix these vulnerabilities.  All
 users are encouraged to upgrade to these updated kernels.
