Ubuntu Security Notice 1187-1 - It was discovered that KVM did not correctly initialize certain CPU registers. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system, leading to a denial of service. Thomas Pollet discovered that the RDS network protocol did not check certain iovec buffers. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system or possibly execute arbitrary code as the root user. Vasiliy Kulikov discovered that the Linux kernel X.25 implementation did not correctly clear kernel memory. A local attacker could exploit this to read kernel stack memory, leading to a loss of privacy. Various other issues were also addressed.
334e1774d95bf6c254e449cac03b734fUbuntu Security Notice 1167-1 - Dan Rosenberg discovered that the Linux kernel TIPC implementation contained multiple integer signedness errors. A local attacker could exploit this to gain root privileges. Dan Rosenberg discovered that the CAN protocol on 64bit systems did not correctly calculate the size of certain buffers. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system or possibly execute arbitrary code as the root user. Various other issues were also addressed.
dbed834d81b3bbc6061a61cbc444a405Ubuntu Security Notice 1164-1 - Thomas Pollet discovered that the RDS network protocol did not check certain iovec buffers. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system or possibly execute arbitrary code as the root user. Dan Rosenberg discovered that the CAN protocol on 64bit systems did not correctly calculate the size of certain buffers. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system or possibly execute arbitrary code as the root user. Various other issues were also addressed.
e70bdd0acf312c2b66cea08dc84f7849Ubuntu Security Notice 1160-1 - Dan Rosenberg discovered that IRDA did not correctly check the size of buffers. On non-x86 systems, a local attacker could exploit this to read kernel heap memory, leading to a loss of privacy. Dan Rosenburg discovered that the CAN subsystem leaked kernel addresses into the /proc filesystem. A local attacker could use this to increase the chances of a successful memory corruption exploit. Kees Cook discovered that the IOWarrior USB device driver did not correctly check certain size fields. A local attacker with physical access could plug in a specially crafted USB device to crash the system or potentially gain root privileges. Various other issues were also addressed.
0b27c7685536805308dcb14221dc34a5Ubuntu Security Notice 1141-1 - Brad Spengler discovered that the kernel did not correctly account for userspace memory allocations during exec() calls. A local attacker could exploit this to consume all system memory, leading to a denial of service. Alexander Duyck discovered that the Intel Gigabit Ethernet driver did not correctly handle certain configurations. If such a device was configured without VLANs, a remote attacker could crash the system, leading to a denial of service. Various other issues were also discovered.
d6c70609f84935148b2bd6cac1ed0dc2Ubuntu Security Notice 1133-1 - Nelson Elhage discovered that Econet did not correctly handle AUN packets over UDP. Dan Rosenberg discovered that the OSS subsystem did not handle name termination correctly. Dan Rosenberg discovered that IRDA did not correctly check the size of buffers. Dan Carpenter discovered that the TTPCI DVB driver did not check certain values during an ioctl.
ca93b4b9fc1777dc7c5de9255dd11bcdUbuntu Security Notice 1111-1 - Multiple vulnerabilities have been addressed in the Linux 2.6 kernel. Dan Rosenberg discovered multiple flaws in the X.25 facilities parsing. Vegard Nossum discovered that memory garbage collection was not handled correctly for active sockets. Nelson Elhage discovered that the kernel did not correctly handle process cleanup after triggering a recoverable kernel bug. Nelson Elhage discovered that Econet did not correctly handle AUN packets over UDP. Dan Rosenberg discovered that the OSS subsystem did not handle name termination correctly. Dan Rosenberg discovered that IRDA did not correctly check the size of buffers. Dan Carpenter discovered that the TTPCI DVB driver did not check certain values during an ioctl. Jens Kuehnel discovered that the InfiniBand driver contained a race condition. Timo Warns discovered that the LDM disk partition handling code did not correctly handle certain values.
5cfa21ecf64f02a0235d9824d46af1edDebian Linux Security Advisory 2153-1 - Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leak.
