Debian Linux Security Advisory 1565-1

Posted May 1, 2008

Authored by Debian | Site debian.org

Debian Security Advisory 1565-1 - Several local vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. Cyrill Gorcunov reported a NULL pointer dereference in code specific to the CHRP PowerPC platforms. Local users could exploit this issue to achieve a Denial of Service (DoS). Nick Piggin of SuSE discovered a number of issues in subsystems which register a fault handler for memory mapped areas. This issue can be exploited by local users to achieve a Denial of Service (DoS) and possibly execute arbitrary code. David Peer discovered that users could escape administrator imposed cpu time limitations (RLIMIT_CPU) by setting a limit of 0. Alexander Viro discovered a race condition in the directory notification subsystem that allows local users to cause a Denial of Service (oops) and possibly result in an escalation of privileges.
