The udp_v6_get_port function in udp.c in Linux 2.6 before 2.6.14-rc5, when running IPv6, allows local users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and crash).

Al Viro discovered a race condition in the /proc file handler of network devices. A local attacker could exploit this by opening any file in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<interface>/ and waiting until that interface was shut down. Under certain circumstances this could lead to a kernel crash or even arbitrary code execution with full kernel privileges. (CVE-2005-2709)

Tetsuo Handa discovered a local Denial of Service vulnerability in the udp_v6_get_port() function. On computers which use IPv6, a local attacker could exploit this to trigger an infinite loop in the kernel.
(CVE-2005-2973)

Harald Welte discovered a Denial of Service vulnerability in the USB devio driver. A local attacker could exploit this by sending an 'USB Request Block' (URB) and terminating the sending process before the arrival of the answer, which left an invalid pointer and caused a kernel crash. (CVE-2005-3055)

Pavel Roskin discovered an information leak in the Orinoco wireless card driver. When increasing the buffer length for storing data, the buffer was not padded with zeros, which exposed a random part of the system memory to the user. (CVE-2005-3180)

A resource leak has been discovered in the handling of POSIX timers in the exec() function. This could be exploited to a Denial of Service attack by a group of local users. This vulnerability only affects Ubuntu 4.10. (CVE-2005-3271)

Stephen Hemming discovered a weakness in the network bridge driver.
Packets which had already been dropped by the packet filter could poison the forwarding table, which could be exploited to make the bridge forward spoofed packages. This vulnerability only affects Ubuntu 4.10 and 5.04. (CVE-2005-3272)

David S. Miller discovered a buffer overflow in the rose_rt_ioctl() function. By calling the function with a large 'ngidis' argument, a local attacker could cause a kernel crash. This vulnerability only affects Ubuntu 4.10 and 5.04. (CVE-2005-3273)

Neil Horman discovered a race condition in the connection timer handling. This allowed a local attacker to set up an expiration handler which modified the connection list while the list still being traversed, which could result in a kernel crash. This vulnerability only affects multiprocessor (SMP) systems. (CVE-2005-3274)

Patrick McHardy noticed a logic error in the network address translation (NAT) connection tracker. A remote attacker could exploit this by causing two packets for the same protocol to be NATed at the same time, which resulted in a kernel crash. (CVE-2005-3275)

Paolo Giarrusso discovered an information leak in the sys_get_thread_area(). The returned structure was not properly cleared, which exposed a small amount of kernel memory to userspace programs. This could possibly expose confidential data.
(CVE-2005-3276).

Updated kernel packages that fix several security issues in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 kernel are now available.

This security advisory has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system.

These new kernel packages contain fixes for the security issues described below :

  - a flaw in network IGMP processing that a allowed a     remote user on the local network to cause a denial of     service (disabling of multicast reports) if the system     is running multicast applications (CVE-2002-2185,     moderate)

  - a flaw in remap_page_range() with O_DIRECT writes that     allowed a local user to cause a denial of service     (crash) (CVE-2004-1057, important)

All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 users are advised to upgrade their kernels to the packages associated with their machine architecture and configurations as listed in this erratum.

A number of vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux 2.6 kernel :

The udp_v6_get_port function in udp.c, when running IPv6, allows local users to cause a Denial of Service (infinite loop and crash) (CVE-2005-2973).

The mq_open system call in certain situations can decrement a counter twice as a result of multiple calls to the mntput function when the dentry_open function call fails, allowing a local user to cause a DoS (panic) via unspecified attack vectors (CVE-2005-3356).

The procfs code allows attackers to read sensitive kernel memory via unspecified vectors in which a signed value is added to an unsigned value (CVE-2005-4605).

A buffer overflow in sysctl allows local users to cause a DoS and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long string, which causes sysctl to write a zero byte outside the buffer (CVE-2005-4618).

A buffer overflow in the CA-driver for TwinHan DST Frontend/Card allows local users to cause a DoS (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code by reading more than eight bytes into an eight byte long array (CVE-2005-4639).

dm-crypt does not clear a structure before it is freed, which leads to a memory disclosure that could allow local users to obtain sensitive information about a cryptographic key (CVE-2006-0095).

Remote attackers can cause a DoS via unknown attack vectors related to an 'extra dst release when ip_options_echo fails' in icmp.c (CVE-2006-0454).

In addition to these security fixes, other fixes have been included such as :

  - support for mptsas

    - fix for IPv6 with sis190

    - a problem with the time progressing twice as fast

    - a fix for Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor sample rates

    - a fix for a supermount crash when accessing a       supermount-ed CD/DVD drive

  - a fix for improperly unloading sbp2 module
