Posted Jul 16, 2011

Authored by Ubuntu | Site security.ubuntu.com

Ubuntu Security Notice 1168-1 - Timo Warns discovered that the LDM disk partition handling code did not correctly handle certain values. By inserting a specially crafted disk device, a local attacker could exploit this to gain root privileges. Neil Horman discovered that NFSv4 did not correctly handle certain orders of operation with ACL data. A remote attacker with access to an NFSv4 mount could exploit this to crash the system, leading to a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.
