21fabc8fb2c2e9a3e0a87e1d2e913ac768883fe6234b59106196e45a91e0c082Ubuntu Security Notice 509-1 - The Linux 2.6 kernel series suffers from multiple vulnerabilities. A flaw in the sysfs_readdir function allowed a local user to cause a denial of service by dereferencing a NULL pointer. A buffer overflow was discovered in the random number generator. In environments with granular assignment of root privileges, a local attacker could gain additional privileges. A flaw was discovered in the usblcd driver. A local attacker could cause large amounts of kernel memory consumption, leading to a denial of service. It was discovered that certain setuid-root processes did not correctly reset process death signal handlers. A local user could manipulate this to send signals to processes they would not normally have access to. The Direct Rendering Manager for the i915 driver could be made to write to arbitrary memory locations. An attacker with access to a running X11 session could send a specially crafted buffer and gain root privileges. It was discovered that the aacraid SCSI driver did not correctly check permissions on certain ioctls. A local attacker could cause a denial of service or gain privileges.
