Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________
Package name: kernel
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2003:066-2
Date: July 25th, 2003
Original Advisory Date: June 11th, 2003
Affected versions: 9.1
________________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered and fixed in the Linux
kernel.
* CAN-2003-0001: Multiple ethernet network card drivers do not pad
frames with null bytes which allows remote attackers to obtain
information from previous packets or kernel memory by using
special malformed packets.
* CAN-2003-0244: The route cache implementation in the 2.4 kernel and
the Netfilter IP conntrack module allows remote attackers to cause a
Denial of Service (DoS) via CPU consumption due to packets with
forged source addresses that cause a large number of hash table
collisions related to the PREROUTING chain.
* CAN-2003-0246: The ioperm implementation in 2.4.20 and earlier
kernels does not properly restrict privileges, which allows local
users to gain read or write access to certain I/O ports.
* CAN-2003-0247: A vulnerability in the TTY layer of the 2.4 kernel
allows attackers to cause a kernel oops resulting in a DoS.
* CAN-2003-0248: The mxcsr code in the 2.4 kernel allows attackers to
modify CPU state registers via a malformed address.
* CAN-2003-0462: A file read race existed in the execve() system
call.
As well, a number of bug fixes were made in the 9.1 kernel including:
* Support for more machines that did not work with APIC
* Audigy2 support
* New/updated modules: prims25, adiusbadsl, thinkpad, ieee1394,
orinoco, via-rhine,
* Fixed SiS IOAPIC
* IRQ balancing has been fixed for SMP
* Updates to ext3
* The previous ptrace fix has been redone to work better
* Bugs with compiling kernels using xconfig have been fixed
* Problems with ipsec have been corrected
* XFS ACLs are now present
* gdb not working on XFS root filesystems has been fixed
MandrakeSoft encourages all users to upgrade to these new kernels.
Updated kernels will be available shortly for other supported
platforms and architectures.
For full instructions on how to properly upgrade your kernel, please
review http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/magic.php.
Update:
The kernels provided in MDKSA-2003:066-1 (2.4.21-0.24mdk) had a
problem where all files created on any filesystem other than XFS,
and using any kernel other than kernel-secure, would be created with
mode 0666, or world writeable. The 0.24mdk kernels have been
removed from the mirrors and users are encouraged to upgrade and
remove those kernels from their systems to prevent accidentally
booting into them.
That issue has been addressed and fixed with these new kernels.
