9b5198e025901d7e83cb9d7ed6a8a856074baa405387532a1558ef7da79896f5Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2010-188 - Some vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux kernel. fs/namei.c in Linux kernel 2.6.18 through 2.6.34 does not always follow NFS automount symlinks, which allows attackers to have an unknown impact, related to LOOKUP_FOLLOW. The do_pages_move function in mm/migrate.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.33-rc7 does not validate node values, which allows local users to read arbitrary kernel memory locations, cause a denial of service , and possibly have unspecified other impact by specifying a node that is not part of the kernel node set. Various other issues have been addressed.

Dave Jones discovered that the gdth SCSI driver did not correctly validate array indexes in certain ioctl calls. Eric Dumazet and Jiri Pirko discovered that the TC and CLS subsystems would leak kernel memory via uninitialized structure members. Earl Chew discovered race conditions in pipe handling.
