high Nessus Plugin ID 29248
Synopsis
The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.Description
This kernel update fixes the following security problems :++ CVE-2007-5500: A buggy condition in the ptrace attach logic can be used by local attackers to hang the machine.
++ CVE-2007-5501: The tcp_sacktag_write_queue function in net/ipv4/tcp_input.c allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via crafted ACK responses that trigger a NULL pointer dereference.
++ CVE-2007-5904: Multiple buffer overflows in CIFS VFS allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via long SMB responses that trigger the overflows in the SendReceive function.
This requires the attacker to set up a malicious Samba/CIFS server and getting the client to connect to it.
and the following non security bugs :
++ Kernel update to 2.6.22.13 (includes the fixes for CVE-2007-5500 and CVE-2007-5501 described above)
