Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 2 kernel has been updated to version 3.0.93 and includes various bug and security fixes.

The following security bugs have been fixed :

  - The fill_event_metadata function in     fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify_user.c in the Linux kernel     did not initialize a certain structure member, which     allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from     kernel memory via a read operation on the fanotify     descriptor. (CVE-2013-2148)

  - The key_notify_policy_flush function in net/key/af_key.c     in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain     structure member, which allowed local users to obtain     sensitive information from kernel heap memory by reading     a broadcast message from the notify_policy interface of     an IPSec key_socket. (CVE-2013-2237)

  - The ip6_sk_dst_check function in net/ipv6/ip6_output.c     in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a     denial of service (system crash) by using an AF_INET6     socket for a connection to an IPv4 interface.
    (CVE-2013-2232)

  - The (1) key_notify_sa_flush and (2)     key_notify_policy_flush functions in net/key/af_key.c in     the Linux kernel did not initialize certain structure     members, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel heap memory by reading a     broadcast message from the notify interface of an IPSec     key_socket. (CVE-2013-2234)

  - The udp_v6_push_pending_frames function in     net/ipv6/udp.c in the IPv6 implementation in the Linux     kernel made an incorrect function call for pending data,     which allowed local users to cause a denial of service     (BUG and system crash) via a crafted application that     uses the UDP_CORK option in a setsockopt system call.
    (CVE-2013-4162)

  - net/ceph/auth_none.c in the Linux kernel allowed remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and system crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via an auth_reply message that     triggers an attempted build_request operation.
    (CVE-2013-1059)

  - The mmc_ioctl_cdrom_read_data function in     drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c in the Linux kernel allowed local     users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory     via a read operation on a malfunctioning CD-ROM drive.
    (CVE-2013-2164)

  - Format string vulnerability in the register_disk     function in block/genhd.c in the Linux kernel allowed     local users to gain privileges by leveraging root access     and writing format string specifiers to     /sys/module/md_mod/parameters/new_array in order to     create a crafted /dev/md device name. (CVE-2013-2851)

  - The ip6_append_data_mtu function in     net/ipv6/ip6_output.c in the IPv6 implementation in the     Linux kernel did not properly maintain information about     whether the IPV6_MTU setsockopt option had been     specified, which allowed local users to cause a denial     of service (BUG and system crash) via a crafted     application that uses the UDP_CORK option in a     setsockopt system call. (CVE-2013-4163)

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in the tg3_read_vpd function     in drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/tg3.c in the Linux     kernel allowed physically proximate attackers to cause a     denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute     arbitrary code via crafted firmware that specifies a     long string in the Vital Product Data (VPD) data     structure. (CVE-2013-1929)

  - The _xfs_buf_find function in fs/xfs/xfs_buf.c in the     Linux kernel did not validate block numbers, which     allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL     pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact by leveraging the ability to     mount an XFS filesystem containing a metadata inode with     an invalid extent map. (CVE-2013-1819)

  - The chase_port function in drivers/usb/serial/io_ti.c in     the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial     of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash)     via an attempted /dev/ttyUSB read or write operation on     a disconnected Edgeport USB serial converter.

The remote Oracle Linux 5 / 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2013-2546 advisory.

  - The mmc_ioctl_cdrom_read_data function in drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c in the Linux kernel through 3.10 allows     local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a read operation on a malfunctioning     CD-ROM drive. (CVE-2013-2164)

  - The (1) key_notify_sa_flush and (2) key_notify_policy_flush functions in net/key/af_key.c in the Linux     kernel before 3.10 do not initialize certain structure members, which allows local users to obtain     sensitive information from kernel heap memory by reading a broadcast message from the notify interface of     an IPSec key_socket. (CVE-2013-2234)

  - The isofs_export_encode_fh function in fs/isofs/export.c in the Linux kernel before 3.6 does not     initialize a certain structure member, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from     kernel heap memory via a crafted application. (CVE-2012-6549)

  - The log_prefix function in kernel/printk.c in the Linux kernel 3.x before 3.4.33 does not properly remove     a prefix string from a syslog header, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (buffer     overflow and system crash) by leveraging /dev/kmsg write access and triggering a call_console_drivers     function call. (CVE-2013-1772)

  - The dispatch_discard_io function in drivers/block/xen-blkback/blkback.c in the Xen blkback implementation     in the Linux kernel before 3.10.5 allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (data loss) via     filesystem write operations on a read-only disk that supports the (1) BLKIF_OP_DISCARD (aka discard or     TRIM) or (2) SCSI UNMAP feature. (CVE-2013-2140)

  - The crypto API in the Linux kernel through 3.9-rc8 does not initialize certain length variables, which     allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted recvmsg or     recvfrom system call, related to the hash_recvmsg function in crypto/algif_hash.c and the skcipher_recvmsg     function in crypto/algif_skcipher.c. (CVE-2013-3076)

  - The ip6_append_data_mtu function in net/ipv6/ip6_output.c in the IPv6 implementation in the Linux kernel     through 3.10.3 does not properly maintain information about whether the IPV6_MTU setsockopt option had     been specified, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (BUG and system crash) via a crafted     application that uses the UDP_CORK option in a setsockopt system call. (CVE-2013-4163)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the tg3_read_vpd function in drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/tg3.c in the Linux kernel before 3.8.6 allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted firmware that specifies a long string in the Vital Product Data (VPD) data structure.

Use-after-free vulnerability in the shmem_remount_fs function in mm/shmem.c in the Linux kernel before 3.7.10 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (system crash) by remounting a tmpfs filesystem without specifying a required mpol (aka mempolicy) mount option.

The vcc_recvmsg function in net/atm/common.c in the Linux kernel before 3.9-rc7 does not initialize a certain length variable, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted recvmsg or recvfrom system call.

The flush_signal_handlers function in kernel/signal.c in the Linux kernel before 3.8.4 preserves the value of the sa_restorer field across an exec operation, which makes it easier for local users to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted application containing a sigaction system call.

The llc_ui_recvmsg function in net/llc/af_llc.c in the Linux kernel before 3.9-rc7 does not initialize a certain length variable, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted recvmsg or recvfrom system call.

net/tipc/socket.c in the Linux kernel before 3.9-rc7 does not initialize a certain data structure and a certain length variable, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted recvmsg or recvfrom system call.

Buffer overflow in the VFAT filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.3 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (system crash) via a VFAT write operation on a filesystem with the utf8 mount option, which is not properly handled during UTF-8 to UTF-16 conversion.

The Bluetooth RFCOMM implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.6 does not properly initialize certain structures, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a crafted application.

The Bluetooth protocol stack in the Linux kernel before 3.6 does not properly initialize certain structures, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted application that targets the (1) L2CAP or (2) HCI implementation.

The bt_sock_recvmsg function in net/bluetooth/af_bluetooth.c in the Linux kernel before 3.9-rc7 does not properly initialize a certain length variable, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted recvmsg or recvfrom system call.

From Red Hat Security Advisory 2013:1034 :

Updated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues and various bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

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

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

This update fixes the following security issues :

* Information leaks in the Linux kernel could allow a local, unprivileged user to leak kernel memory to user-space. (CVE-2012-6544, CVE-2012-6545, CVE-2013-3222, CVE-2013-3224, CVE-2013-3231, CVE-2013-3235, Low)

* An information leak was found in the Linux kernel's POSIX signals implementation. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to bypass the Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) security feature.
(CVE-2013-0914, Low)

* A heap-based buffer overflow in the way the tg3 Ethernet driver parsed the vital product data (VPD) of devices could allow an attacker with physical access to a system to cause a denial of service or, potentially, escalate their privileges. (CVE-2013-1929, Low)

This update also fixes the following bugs :

* Previously on system boot, devices with associated Reserved Memory Region Reporting (RMRR) information had lost their RMRR information after they were removed from the static identity (SI) domain.
Consequently, a system unexpectedly terminated in an endless loop due to unexpected NMIs triggered by DMA errors. This problem was observed on HP ProLiant Generation 7 (G7) and 8 (Gen8) systems. This update prevents non-USB devices that have RMRR information associated with them from being placed into the SI domain during system boot. HP ProLiant G7 and Gen8 systems that contain devices with the RMRR information now boot as expected. (BZ#957606)

* Previously, the kernel's futex wait code used timeouts that had granularity in milliseconds. Also, when passing these timeouts to system calls, the kernel converted the timeouts to 'jiffies'.
Consequently, programs could time out inaccurately which could lead to significant latency problems in certain environments. This update modifies the futex wait code to use a high-resolution timer (hrtimer) so the timeout granularity is now in microseconds. Timeouts are no longer converted to 'jiffies' when passed to system calls. Timeouts passed to programs are now accurate and the programs time out as expected. (BZ#958021)

* A recent change modified the size of the task_struct structure in the floating point unit (fpu) counter. However, on Intel Itanium systems, this change caused the kernel Application Binary Interface (kABI) to stop working properly when a previously compiled module was loaded, resulting in a kernel panic. With this update the change causing this bug has been reverted so the bug can no longer occur.
(BZ#966878)

* The cxgb4 driver previously did not clear data structures used for firmware requests. Consequently, when initializing some Chelsio's Terminator 4 (T4) adapters, a probe request could fail because the request was incompatible with the adapter's firmware. This update modifies the cxgb4 driver to properly initialize firmware request structures before sending a request to the firmware and the problem no longer occurs. (BZ#971872)

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.

This update fixes the following security issues :

  - Information leaks in the Linux kernel could allow a     local, unprivileged user to leak kernel memory to     user-space. (CVE-2012-6544, CVE-2012-6545,     CVE-2013-3222, CVE-2013-3224, CVE-2013-3231,     CVE-2013-3235, Low)

  - An information leak was found in the Linux kernel's     POSIX signals implementation. A local, unprivileged user     could use this flaw to bypass the Address Space Layout     Randomization (ASLR) security feature. (CVE-2013-0914,     Low)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow in the way the tg3 Ethernet     driver parsed the vital product data (VPD) of devices     could allow an attacker with physical access to a system     to cause a denial of service or, potentially, escalate     their privileges. (CVE-2013-1929, Low)

Timeouts are no longer converted to     'jiffies' when passed to system calls. Timeouts passed     to programs are now accurate and the programs time out     as expected.

  - A recent change modified the size of the task_struct     structure in the floating point unit (fpu) counter.
    However, on Intel Itanium systems, this change caused     the kernel Application Binary Interface (kABI) to stop     working properly when a previously compiled module was     loaded, resulting in a kernel panic. With this update     the change causing this bug has been reverted so the bug     can no longer occur.

  - The cxgb4 driver previously did not clear data     structures used for firmware requests. Consequently,     when initializing some Chelsio's Terminator 4 (T4)     adapters, a probe request could fail because the request     was incompatible with the adapter's firmware. This     update modifies the cxgb4 driver to properly initialize     firmware request structures before sending a request to     the firmware and the problem no longer occurs.

The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.

Updated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues and various bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

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

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

This update fixes the following security issues :

* Information leaks in the Linux kernel could allow a local, unprivileged user to leak kernel memory to user-space. (CVE-2012-6544, CVE-2012-6545, CVE-2013-3222, CVE-2013-3224, CVE-2013-3231, CVE-2013-3235, Low)

* An information leak was found in the Linux kernel's POSIX signals implementation. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to bypass the Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) security feature.
(CVE-2013-0914, Low)

* A heap-based buffer overflow in the way the tg3 Ethernet driver parsed the vital product data (VPD) of devices could allow an attacker with physical access to a system to cause a denial of service or, potentially, escalate their privileges. (CVE-2013-1929, Low)

This update also fixes the following bugs :

* Previously on system boot, devices with associated Reserved Memory Region Reporting (RMRR) information had lost their RMRR information after they were removed from the static identity (SI) domain.
Consequently, a system unexpectedly terminated in an endless loop due to unexpected NMIs triggered by DMA errors. This problem was observed on HP ProLiant Generation 7 (G7) and 8 (Gen8) systems. This update prevents non-USB devices that have RMRR information associated with them from being placed into the SI domain during system boot. HP ProLiant G7 and Gen8 systems that contain devices with the RMRR information now boot as expected. (BZ#957606)

* Previously, the kernel's futex wait code used timeouts that had granularity in milliseconds. Also, when passing these timeouts to system calls, the kernel converted the timeouts to 'jiffies'.
Consequently, programs could time out inaccurately which could lead to significant latency problems in certain environments. This update modifies the futex wait code to use a high-resolution timer (hrtimer) so the timeout granularity is now in microseconds. Timeouts are no longer converted to 'jiffies' when passed to system calls. Timeouts passed to programs are now accurate and the programs time out as expected. (BZ#958021)

* A recent change modified the size of the task_struct structure in the floating point unit (fpu) counter. However, on Intel Itanium systems, this change caused the kernel Application Binary Interface (kABI) to stop working properly when a previously compiled module was loaded, resulting in a kernel panic. With this update the change causing this bug has been reverted so the bug can no longer occur.
(BZ#966878)

* The cxgb4 driver previously did not clear data structures used for firmware requests. Consequently, when initializing some Chelsio's Terminator 4 (T4) adapters, a probe request could fail because the request was incompatible with the adapter's firmware. This update modifies the cxgb4 driver to properly initialize firmware request structures before sending a request to the firmware and the problem no longer occurs. (BZ#971872)

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.
