(CVE-2008-3272) Unspecified vulnerability in the 32-bit and 64-bit emulation in the Linux kernel 2.6.9, 2.6.18, and probably other versions allows local users to read uninitialized memory via unknown vectors involving a crafted binary. (CVE-2008-0598) The (1) real_lookup and (2) __lookup_hash functions in fs/namei.c in the vfs implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.25.15 does not prevent creation of a child dentry for a deleted (aka S_DEAD) directory, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (overflow of the UBIFS orphan area) via a series of attempted file creations within deleted directories. (CVE-2008-3275) Integer overflow in the sctp_setsockopt_auth_key function in net/sctp/socket.c in the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (sctp) implementation in the Linux kernel 2.6.24-rc1 through 2.6.26.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted sca_keylength field associated with the SCTP_AUTH_KEY option. (CVE-2008-3525) fs/direct-io.c in the dio subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.23 does not properly zero out the dio struct, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS), as demonstrated by a certain fio test. (CVE-2007-6716) fs/open.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22 does not properly strip setuid and setgid bits when there is a write to a file, which allows local users to gain the privileges of a different group, and obtain sensitive information or possibly have unspecified other impact, by creating an executable file in a setgid directory through the (1) truncate or (2) ftruncate function in conjunction with memory-mapped I/O. (CVE-2008-4210) Additionaly, support for Intel's ICH9 controller was added, and 'tg3' driver was updated to version 3.71b. To update your kernel, please follow the directions located at: http://www.mandriva.com/en/security/kernelupdate Update: Support for Intel's ICH9 controller and the updated 'tg3' driver were actually missing in the previous update, this new update adds them. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-3272 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-0598 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-3275 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-3525 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6716 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-4210 _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Corporate 4.0: 9f8ef0b687cf2a757be8956e4d546bb4 corporate/4.0/i586/kernel-2.6.12.38mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm 6a187165a2d24afd3cc036496c2fce16 corporate/4.0/i586/kernel-BOOT-2.6.12.38mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm ccc98a0f3dae3455640b06a84a1e8aa1 corporate/4.0/i586/kernel-doc-2.6.12.38mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm aedad3957e3db5ba959ccb384ededc31 corporate/4.0/i586/kernel-i586-up-1GB-2.6.12.38mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm 4237b7a724f2e1e4a31b6d4b2bfa3040 corporate/4.0/i586/kernel-i686-up-4GB-2.6.12.38mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm 0a5113e41447386fb793cc5c01f503aa corporate/4.0/i586/kernel-smp-2.6.12.38mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm 65a067bc2fc12a1c67d0537b6b0385f9 corporate/4.0/i586/kernel-source-2.6.12.38mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm bceea0d3d936700b34102e632c49725c corporate/4.0/i586/kernel-source-stripped-2.6.12.38mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm 027fa12058aa65462a8d2d25ead0d486 corporate/4.0/i586/kernel-xbox-2.6.12.38mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm ca2b5dffac21b0ec374b8e516f39293b corporate/4.0/i586/kernel-xen0-2.6.12.38mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm cdcf076659a64f3aaf34f9e58c106b4c corporate/4.0/i586/kernel-xenU-2.6.12.38mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm a4405a0b20aa4c12bb2ca70f801708b8 corporate/4.0/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.12.38mdk-1-1mdk.src.rpm Corporate 4.0/X86_64: 7dd636f428eded3fce2b8bfc438e6a89 corporate/4.0/x86_64/kernel-2.6.12.38mdk-1-1mdk.x86_64.rpm fd0efcb2081d6a71c0d5109ec916a5e0 corporate/4.0/x86_64/kernel-BOOT-2.6.12.38mdk-1-1mdk.x86_64.rpm 13ca275d306ed326dba2ff4e967954a3 corporate/4.0/x86_64/kernel-doc-2.6.12.38mdk-1-1mdk.x86_64.rpm 74940a6c8b0893c5ced16132549bc7ce corporate/4.0/x86_64/kernel-smp-2.6.12.38mdk-1-1mdk.x86_64.rpm 5a5a541271c4bb7157b6549fdcfa43b9 corporate/4.0/x86_64/kernel-source-2.6.12.38mdk-1-1mdk.x86_64.rpm a2965a018d7cd48727392f15f7c0cc08 corporate/4.0/x86_64/kernel-source-stripped-2.6.12.38mdk-1-1mdk.x86_64.rpm 8d7bc5b6c3112988d61da7db64d90e89 corporate/4.0/x86_64/kernel-xen0-2.6.12.38mdk-1-1mdk.x86_64.rpm f7f26d7e6126baf67c53a3476de6da74 corporate/4.0/x86_64/kernel-xenU-2.6.12.38mdk-1-1mdk.x86_64.rpm a4405a0b20aa4c12bb2ca70f801708b8 corporate/4.0/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.12.38mdk-1-1mdk.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
