 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDKSA-2007:078
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/

 Package : kernel
 Date    : April 4, 2007
 Affected: 2007.0
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Problem Description:
 
 Some vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux
 2.6 kernel:
 
 When SELinux hooks are enabled, the kernel could allow a local user
 to cause a DoS (crash) via a malformed file stream that triggers a
 NULL pointer derefernece (CVE-2006-6056).
 
 Multiple buffer overflows in the (1) read and (2) write handlers in
 the Omnikey CardMan 4040 driver in the Linux kernel before 2.6.21-rc3
 allow local users to gain privileges. (CVE-2007-0005)
 
 The Linux kernel version 2.6.13 to 2.6.20.1 allowed a remote attacker to
 cause a DoS (oops) via a crafted NFSACL2 ACCESS request that triggered
 a free of an incorrect pointer (CVE-2007-0772).
 
 A local user could read unreadable binaries by using the interpreter
 (PT_INTERP) functionality and triggering a core dump; a variant of
 CVE-2004-1073 (CVE-2007-0958).
 
 The ipv6_getsockopt_sticky function in net/ipv6/ipv6_sockglue.c in the
 Linux kernel before 2.6.20.2 allows local users to read arbitrary
 kernel memory via certain getsockopt calls that trigger a NULL
 dereference. (CVE-2007-1000)
 
 Buffer overflow in the bufprint function in capiutil.c in libcapi,
 as used in Linux kernel 2.6.9 to 2.6.20 and isdn4k-utils, allows local
 users to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly gain privileges
 via a crafted CAPI packet. (CVE-2007-1217)
 
 The do_ipv6_setsockopt function in net/ipv6/ipv6_sockglue.c in Linux
 kernel 2.6.17, and possibly other versions, allows local users to cause
 a denial of service (oops) by calling setsockopt with the IPV6_RTHDR
 option name and possibly a zero option length or invalid option value,
 which triggers a NULL pointer dereference. (CVE-2007-1388)
 
 net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c in Linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6.x up to 2.6.21-rc3
 inadvertently copies the ipv6_fl_socklist from a listening TCP socket
 to child sockets, which allows local users to cause a denial of service
 (OOPS) or double-free by opening a listeing IPv6 socket, attaching a
 flow label, and connecting to that socket. (CVE-2007-1592)
 
 The provided packages are patched to fix these vulnerabilities.
 All users are encouraged to upgrade to these updated kernels immediately
 and reboot to effect the fixes.
 
 In addition to these security fixes, other fixes have been included
 such as:
 
   - Suspend to disk speed improvements
   - Add nmi watchdog support for core2
   - Add atl1 driver
   - Update KVM

   - USB: Let USB-Serial option driver handle anydata devices (#29066)
   - USB: Add PlayStation 2 Trance Vibrator driver
   - Fix bogus delay loop in video/aty/mach64_ct.c
   - Add MCP61 support (#29398)
   - USB: fix floppy drive SAMSUNG SFD-321U/EP detected 8 times bug
   - Improve keyboard handling on Apple MacBooks
   - Add -latest patch
   - Workaround a possible binutils bug in smp alternatives
   - Add forcedeth support
   - Fix potential deadlock in driver core (USB hangs at boot time
   #24683)
