 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDKSA-2006:040

 Package : kernel
 Date    : February 17, 2006
 Affected: 2006.0

 Problem Description:
 
 A number of vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux
 2.6 kernel:
 
 The udp_v6_get_port function in udp.c, when running IPv6, allows local
 users to cause a Denial of Service (infinite loop and crash)
 (CVE-2005-2973).
 
 The mq_open system call in certain situations can decrement a counter
 twice as a result of multiple calls to the mntput function when the
 dentry_open function call fails, allowing a local user to cause a DoS
 (panic) via unspecified attack vectors (CVE-2005-3356).
 
 The procfs code allows attackers to read sensitive kernel memory via
 unspecified vectors in which a signed value is added to an unsigned
 value (CVE-2005-4605).
 
 A buffer overflow in sysctl allows local users to cause a DoS and
 possibly execute arbitrary code via a long string, which causes sysctl
 to write a zero byte outside the buffer (CVE-2005-4618).
 
 A buffer overflow in the CA-driver for TwinHan DST Frontend/Card allows
 local users to cause a DoS (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code
 by reading more than eight bytes into an eight byte long array
 (CVE-2005-4639).
 
 dm-crypt does not clear a structure before it is freed, which leads to
 a memory disclosure that could allow local users to obtain sensitive
 information about a cryptographic key (CVE-2006-0095).
 
 Remote attackers can cause a DoS via unknown attack vectors related to
 an "extra dst release when ip_options_echo fails" in icmp.c
 (CVE-2006-0454).
 
 In addition to these security fixes, other fixes have been included
 such as:
 
 - support for mptsas
 - fix for IPv6 with sis190
 - a problem with the time progressing twice as fast
 - a fix for Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor sample rates
 - a fix for a supermount crash when accessing a supermount-ed CD/DVD
   drive
 - a fix for improperly unloading sbp2 module
 
 The provided packages are patched to fix these vulnerabilities.  All
 users are encouraged to upgrade to these updated kernels.
