TITLE: Linux Kernel Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities SECUNIA ADVISORY ID: SA19330 VERIFY ADVISORY: http://secunia.com/advisories/19330/ CRITICAL: Moderately critical IMPACT: Unknown WHERE: >From remote OPERATING SYSTEM: Linux Kernel 2.6.x http://secunia.com/product/2719/ DESCRIPTION: Two vulnerabilities have been reported in the Linux Kernel, which has an unknown impact. 1) An integer overflow error exists within the "do_replace()" function in Netfilter. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow and allows the overwrite of arbitrary amounts of kernel memory when data is copied from user space. 2) Insufficient memory allocation in "drivers/usb/gadget/rndis.c" when handling NDIS response to OID_GEN_SUPPORTED_LIST may cause kernel memory corruption. SOLUTION: Update to version 2.6.16. http://www.kernel.org/ PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: 1) Solar Designer 2) Shaun Tancheff ORIGINAL ADVISORY: Kernel.org: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.16 http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=ee4bb818ae35f68d1f848eae0a7b150a38eb4168 http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=8763716bfe4d8a16bef28c9947cf9d799b1796a5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- About: This Advisory was delivered by Secunia as a free service to help everybody keeping their systems up to date against the latest vulnerabilities.
