Red Hat Security Advisory

 

Synopsis: Important: kernel security and bug fix update

Advisory ID: RHSA-2013:1166-01

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2013-1166.html

Issue date: 2013-08-20

CVE Names: CVE-2013-2147 CVE-2013-2164 CVE-2013-2206

CVE-2013-2224 CVE-2013-2232 CVE-2013-2234

CVE-2013-2237

=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues and several bugs

are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

 

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having

important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base

scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each

vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, noarch, ppc, s390x, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, noarch, x86_64

 

3. Description:

 

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux

operating system.

 

This update fixes the following security issues:

 

* A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Stream Control

Transmission Protocol (SCTP) implementation handled duplicate cookies. If a

local user queried SCTP connection information at the same time a remote

attacker has initialized a crafted SCTP connection to the system, it could

trigger a NULL pointer dereference, causing the system to crash.

(CVE-2013-2206, Important)

 

* It was found that the fix for CVE-2012-3552 released via RHSA-2012:1540

introduced an invalid free flaw in the Linux kernel's TCP/IP protocol suite

implementation. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to corrupt

kernel memory via crafted sendmsg() calls, allowing them to cause a denial

of service or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system.

(CVE-2013-2224, Important)

 

* An invalid pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's

TCP/IP protocol suite implementation. A local, unprivileged user could use

this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on

the system by using sendmsg() with an IPv6 socket connected to an IPv4

destination. (CVE-2013-2232, Moderate)

 

* Information leak flaws in the Linux kernel could allow a privileged,

local user to leak kernel memory to user-space. (CVE-2013-2164,

CVE-2013-2147, CVE-2013-2234, CVE-2013-2237, Low)

 

This update also fixes several bugs. Documentation for these changes will

be available shortly from the Technical Notes document linked to in the

References section.

 

Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported

patches to correct these issues. The system must be rebooted for this

update to take effect.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata

relevant to your system have been applied.

 

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to

use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at

https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/11258

 

To install kernel packages manually, use "rpm -ivh [package]". Do not

use "rpm -Uvh" as that will remove the running kernel binaries from

your system. You may use "rpm -e" to remove old kernels after

determining that the new kernel functions properly on your system.

 

5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

 

971242 - CVE-2013-2147 Kernel: cpqarray/cciss: information leak via ioctl

973100 - CVE-2013-2164 Kernel: information leak in cdrom driver

976562 - CVE-2013-2206 kernel: sctp: duplicate cookie handling NULL pointer dereference

979936 - CVE-2013-2224 kernel: net: IP_REPOPTS invalid free

980995 - CVE-2013-2234 Kernel: net: information leak in AF_KEY notify

981220 - CVE-2013-2237 Kernel: net: af_key: initialize satype in key_notify_policy_flush

981552 - CVE-2013-2232 Kernel: ipv6: using ipv4 vs ipv6 structure during routing lookup in sendmsg
