Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2015-057 - The Crypto API in the Linux kernel before 3.18.5 allows local users to load arbitrary kernel modules via a bind system call for an AF_ALG socket with a parenthesized module template expression in the salg_name field, as demonstrated by the vfat expression, a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-7421. net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto_generic.c in the Linux kernel before 3.18 generates incorrect conntrack entries during handling of certain iptables rule sets for the SCTP, DCCP, GRE, and UDP-Lite protocols, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via packets with disallowed port numbers. The Crypto API in the Linux kernel before 3.18.5 allows local users to load arbitrary kernel modules via a bind system call for an AF_ALG socket with a module name in the salg_name field, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-9644. The updated packages provides a solution for these security issues.

Package : kernel
Date : March 10, 2015
Affected: Business Server 1.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in the Linux
kernel:

The Crypto API in the Linux kernel before 3.18.5 allows local users
to load arbitrary kernel modules via a bind system call for an
AF_ALG socket with a parenthesized module template expression in
the salg_name field, as demonstrated by the vfat(aes) expression,
a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-7421 (CVE-2014-9644).

net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto_generic.c in the Linux kernel before
3.18 generates incorrect conntrack entries during handling of certain
iptables rule sets for the SCTP, DCCP, GRE, and UDP-Lite protocols,
which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions
via packets with disallowed port numbers (CVE-2014-8160).

The Crypto API in the Linux kernel before 3.18.5 allows local users
to load arbitrary kernel modules via a bind system call for an
AF_ALG socket with a module name in the salg_name field, a different
vulnerability than CVE-2014-9644 (CVE-2013-7421).

The updated packages provides a solution for these security issues.
