-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2007:002 http://www.mandriva.com/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : kernel Date : January 2, 2007 Affected: 2007.0 _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: Some vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux 2.6 kernel: The Linux kernel does not properly save or restore EFLAGS during a context switch, or reset the flags when creating new threads, which could allow a local user to cause a Denial of Service (process crash) (CVE-2006-5173). The seqfile handling in the 2.6 kernel up to 2.6.18 allows local users to cause a DoS (hang or oops) via unspecified manipulations that trigger an infinite loop while searching for flowlabels (CVE-2006-5619). An integer overflow in the 2.6 kernel prior to 2.6.18.4 could allow a local user to execute arbitrary code via a large maxnum value in an ioctl request (CVE-2006-5751). A race condition in the ISO9660 filesystem handling could allow a local user to cause a DoS (infinite loop) by mounting a crafted ISO9660 filesystem containing malformed data structures (CVE-2006-5757). A vulnerability in the bluetooth support could allow for overwriting internal CMTP and CAPI data structures via malformed packets (CVE-2006-6106). The provided packages are patched to fix these vulnerabilities. All users are encouraged to upgrade to these updated kernels immediately and reboot to effect the fixes. In addition to these security fixes, other fixes have been included such as: - added the marvell IDE driver - use a specific driver Jmicron chipsets rather than using a generic one - updated the sky2 driver to fix some network hang issues To update your kernel, please follow the directions located at: http://www.mandriva.com/en/security/kernelupdate _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-5173 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-5619 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-5751 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-5757 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-6106 _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Linux 2007.0: 7eba457234782c9f83c47cd26be3de80 2007.0/i586/kernel-2.6.17.8mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.i586.rpm 80f104e8ff3081e7e868e3482f50fd81 2007.0/i586/kernel-enterprise-2.6.17.8mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.i586.rpm 72964c8645531460b742f9e54d118488 2007.0/i586/kernel-legacy-2.6.17.8mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.i586.rpm bc52255a4290284600dfc0e97e5797cd 2007.0/i586/kernel-source-2.6.17.8mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.i586.rpm fbfc24233bf616eab08b247194210fe7 2007.0/i586/kernel-source-stripped-2.6.17.8mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.i586.rpm e30ec4041c80756ab8e004b6335337cd 2007.0/i586/kernel-xen0-2.6.17.8mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.i586.rpm 4da4e24805a2a2301bf7f97f6e0fb974 2007.0/i586/kernel-xenU-2.6.17.8mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.i586.rpm 0cb62354da7ae0bd1dd6b851bedd9496 2007.0/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.17.8mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.src.rpm Mandriva Linux 2007.0/X86_64: c2aca75ee9ca338eb178e51fec0867fc 2007.0/x86_64/evince-0.6.0-1.1mdv2007.0.x86_64.rpm d4c8250e75b57b227b308e2a975ae13c 2007.0/x86_64/kernel-2.6.17.8mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.x86_64.rpm 3cb5a059bc3d352da95fb285f2c31f80 2007.0/x86_64/kernel-source-2.6.17.8mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.x86_64.rpm 9ff265225b8624a083058b5ec16174c2 2007.0/x86_64/kernel-source-stripped-2.6.17.8mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.x86_64.rpm 23ba072d883bac51179e42df654aba79 2007.0/x86_64/kernel-xen0-2.6.17.8mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.x86_64.rpm 268ac512e41476f1e0df9d94299c317b 2007.0/x86_64/kernel-xenU-2.6.17.8mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.x86_64.rpm 0cb62354da7ae0bd1dd6b851bedd9496 2007.0/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.17.8mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
