Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2005:217
http://www.mandriva.com/security/


Package : netpbm
Date : November 30, 2005
Affected: 10.1, Corporate 2.1, Corporate 3.0


Problem Description:

Greg Roelofs discovered and fixed several buffer overflows in
pnmtopng which is also included in netpbm, a collection of graphic
conversion utilities, that can lead to the execution of arbitrary
code via a specially crafted PNM file.

Multiple buffer overflows in pnmtopng in netpbm 10.0 and earlier
allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PNM file.
(CVE-2005-3632)

An off-by-one buffer overflow in pnmtopng, when using the -alpha
command line option, allows attackers to cause a denial of service
(crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PNM file
with exactly 256 colors. (CVE-2005-3662)

The updated packages have been patched to correct this
problem.

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2005:218
http://www.mandriva.com/security/


Package : kernel
Date : November 30, 2005
Affected: Corporate 3.0, Multi Network Firewall 2.0


Problem Description:

Multiple vulnerabilities in the Linux 2.6 kernel have been
discovered and corrected in this update:

An integer overflow in vc_resize (CAN-2004-1333).

A race condition in the sysfs_readfile and
sysfswrite_file functions in 2.6.10 and earlier allows local
users to read kernel memory and cause a DoS (crash) via large
offsets in sysfs files (CAN-2004-2302).

An integer signedness error in scsi_ioctl.c (CVE-2005-0180).

Netfilter allows a local user to cause a DoS (memory
consumption) via certain packet fragments that are reassembled
twice, which causes a data structure to be allocated twice
(CVE-2005-0210).

The netfilter/iptables module in versions prior to 2.6.8.1 allow
remote attackers to cause a DoS (crash) or bypass firewall rules
via crafted packets, which are not properly handled by
skb_checksum_help function (CVE-2005-0449).

The zisofs driver in versions prior to 2.6.12.5 allows local
users and remove attackers to cause a DoS (crash) via a crafted
compressed ISO filesystem (CVE-2005-2457).

The kernel does not properly restrict socket policy access to
users with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability, which could allow local
users to conduct unauthorized activities via ipv4/ip_sockglue.c and
ipv6/ipv6_sockglue.c (CVE-2005-2555).

A memory leak in the seq_file implementation in the SCSI procfs
interface (sg.c) in 2.6.13 and earlier allows a local user to cause
a DoS (memory consumption) via certain repeated reads from
/proc/scsi/gs/devices file which is not properly handled when the
next() interator returns NULL or an error (CVE-2005-2800).

Multiple vulnerabilities in versions prior to 2.6.13.2 allow
local users to cause a DoS (oops from null dereference) via fput in
a 32bit ioctl on 64-bit x86 systems or sockfd_put in the 32-bit
routing_ioctl function on 64-bit systems (CVE-2005-3044).

Versions 2.6.8 to 2.6.14-rc2 allow local users to cause a DoS
(oops) via a userspace process that issues a USB Request Block
(URB) to a USB device and terminates before the URB is finished,
which leads to a stale pointer reference (CVE-2005-3055).

The Orinoco driver in 2.6.13 and earlier does not properly clear
memory from a previously used packet whose length is increased,
allowing remote attackers to obtain sensitive information
(CVE-2005-3180).

Kernels 2.6.13 and earlier, when CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL is enabled,
use an incorrect function to free names_cache memory, preventing
the memory from being tracked by AUDITSYSCALL code and leading to a
memory leak (CVE-2005-3181).

The VT implementation in version 2.6.12 allows local users to
use certain IOCTLs on terminals of other users and gain privileges
(CVE-2005-3257).

Exec does not properly clear posix-timers in multi-threaded
environments, which result in a resource leak and could allow a
large number of multiple local users to cause a DoS by using more
posixtimers than specified by the quota for a single user
(CVE-2005-3271).

The rose_rt_ioctl function rose_route.c in versions prior to
2.6.12 does not properly verify the ndigis argument for a new
route, allowing an attacker to trigger array out-of-bounds errors
with a large number of digipeats (CVE-2005-3273).

A race condition in ip_vs_conn_flush in versions prior to
2.6.13, when running on SMP systems, allows local users to cause a
DoS (null dereference) by causing a connection timer to expire
while the connection table is being flushed before the appropriate
lock is acquired (CVE-2005-3274).

The NAT code in versions prior to 2.6.13 incorrectly declares a
variable to be static, allowing remote attackers to cause a DoS
(memory corruption) by causing two packets for the same protocol to
be NATed at the same time (CVE-2005-3275).

The sys_get_thread_area function in process.c in versions prior
to 2.6.12.4 and 2.6.13 does not clear a data structure before
copying it to userspace, which may allow a user process to obtain
sensitive information (CVE-2005-3276).

The following non-security fixes are also applied:

Support for the arp_ignore and arp_announce sysctls were added
to the Corporate 3 kernels (bugzilla #16346).

The provided packages are patched to fix these vulnerabilities.
All users are encouraged to upgrade to these updated kernels.

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2005:219
http://www.mandriva.com/security/


Package : kernel
Date : November 30, 2005
Affected: 10.1


Problem Description:

Multiple vulnerabilities in the Linux 2.6 kernel have been
discovered and corrected in this update:

An integer overflow in vc_resize (CAN-2004-1333).

A race condition in the sysfs_readfile and
sysfswrite_file functions in 2.6.10 and earlier allows local
users to read kernel memory and cause a DoS (crash) via large
offsets in sysfs files (CAN-2004-2302).

An integer signedness error in scsi_ioctl.c (CVE-2005-0180).

Netfilter allows a local user to cause a DoS (memory
consumption) via certain packet fragments that are reassembled
twice, which causes a data structure to be allocated twice
(CVE-2005-0210).

A DoS in pkt_ioctl in pktcdvc.c (CVE-2005-1589).

An array index overflow in the xfrm_sk_policy_insert function in
xfrm_user.c allows local users to cause a DoS (oops or deadlock)
and possibly execute arbitrary code (CVE-2005-2456).

The zisofs driver in versions prior to 2.6.12.5 allows local
users and remove attackers to cause a DoS (crash) via a crafted
compressed ISO filesystem (CVE-2005-2457).

inflate.c in the zlib routines in versions prior to 2.6.12.5
allow remove attackers to cause a DoS (crash) via a compressed file
with “improper tables” (CVE-2005-2458).

The huft_build function in inflate.c in the zlib routines in
versions prior to 2.6.12.5 returns the wrong value, allowing remote
attackers to cause a DoS (crash) via a certain compressed file that
leads to a null pointer dereference (CVE-2005-2459).

A stack-based buffer overflow in the sendmsg function call in
versions prior to 2.6.13.1 allow local users to execute arbitrary
code by calling sendmsg and modifying the message contents in
another thread (CVE-2005-2490).

vlan_dev.c in version 2.6.8 allows remote attackers to cause a
DoS (oops from null dereference) via certain UDP packets that lead
to a function call with the wrong argument (CVE-2005-2548).

The kernel does not properly restrict socket policy access to
users with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability, which could allow local
users to conduct unauthorized activities via ipv4/ip_sockglue.c and
ipv6/ipv6_sockglue.c (CVE-2005-2555).

A memory leak in the seq_file implementation in the SCSI procfs
interface (sg.c) in 2.6.13 and earlier allows a local user to cause
a DoS (memory consumption) via certain repeated reads from
/proc/scsi/gs/devices file which is not properly handled when the
next() interator returns NULL or an error (CVE-2005-2800).

xattr.c in the ext2 and ext3 file system code does not properly
compare the name_index fields when sharing xattr blocks which could
prevent ACLs from being applied (CVE-2005-2801).

The ipt_recent module in versions prior to 2.6.12 when running
on 64bit processors allows remote attackers to cause a DoS (kernel
panic) via certain attacks such as SSH brute force
(CVE-2005-2872).

The ipt_recent module in versions prior to 2.6.12 does not
properly perform certain tests when the jiffies value is greater
than LONG_MAX, which can cause ipt_recent netfilter rules to block
too early (CVE-2005-2873).

Multiple vulnerabilities in versions prior to 2.6.13.2 allow
local users to cause a DoS (oops from null dereference) via fput in
a 32bit ioctl on 64-bit x86 systems or sockfd_put in the 32-bit
routing_ioctl function on 64-bit systems (CVE-2005-3044).

The sys_set_mempolicy function in mempolicy.c allows local users
to cause a DoS via a negative first argument (CVE-2005-3053).

Versions 2.6.8 to 2.6.14-rc2 allow local users to cause a DoS
(oops) via a userspace process that issues a USB Request Block
(URB) to a USB device and terminates before the URB is finished,
which leads to a stale pointer reference (CVE-2005-3055).

The Orinoco driver in 2.6.13 and earlier does not properly clear
memory from a previously used packet whose length is increased,
allowing remote attackers to obtain sensitive information
(CVE-2005-3180).

Kernels 2.6.13 and earlier, when CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL is enabled,
use an incorrect function to free names_cache memory, preventing
the memory from being tracked by AUDITSYSCALL code and leading to a
memory leak (CVE-2005-3181).

The VT implementation in version 2.6.12 allows local users to
use certain IOCTLs on terminals of other users and gain privileges
(CVE-2005-3257).

Exec does not properly clear posix-timers in multi-threaded
environments, which result in a resource leak and could allow a
large number of multiple local users to cause a DoS by using more
posixtimers than specified by the quota for a single user
(CVE-2005-3271).

The rose_rt_ioctl function rose_route.c in versions prior to
2.6.12 does not properly verify the ndigis argument for a new
route, allowing an attacker to trigger array out-of-bounds errors
with a large number of digipeats (CVE-2005-3273).

A race condition in ip_vs_conn_flush in versions prior to
2.6.13, when running on SMP systems, allows local users to cause a
DoS (null dereference) by causing a connection timer to expire
while the connection table is being flushed before the appropriate
lock is acquired (CVE-2005-3274).

The NAT code in versions prior to 2.6.13 incorrectly declares a
variable to be static, allowing remote attackers to cause a DoS
(memory corruption) by causing two packets for the same protocol to
be NATed at the same time (CVE-2005-3275).

The sys_get_thread_area function in process.c in versions prior
to 2.6.12.4 and 2.6.13 does not clear a data structure before
copying it to userspace, which may allow a user process to obtain
sensitive information (CVE-2005-3276).

The following non-security fixes are also applied:

Driver updates were made to the aic97xx and sata_sil
modules.

Support was added for ATI ipx400 chipsets, for IDE and
sound.

A build problem with icecream on the x86_64 platform was
fixed.

The pin1 APIC timer on RS480-based motherboards was
disabled.

The provided packages are patched to fix these vulnerabilities.
All users are encouraged to upgrade to these updated kernels.

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2005:220
http://www.mandriva.com/security/


Package : kernel
Date : November 30, 2005
Affected: 10.2


Problem Description:

Multiple vulnerabilities in the Linux 2.6 kernel have been
discovered and corrected in this update:

The kernel on x86_64 platforms does not use a guard page for the
47-bit address page to protect against an AMD K8 bug which allows a
local user to cause a DoS (CVE-2005-1764).

The KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING operation in versions prior to
2.6.12.5 contains an error path that does not properly release the
session management semaphore, which allows local users or remote
attackers to cause a DoS (semaphore hang) via a new session keyring
with an empty name string, a long name string, the key quota
reached, or ENOMEM (CVE-2005-2098).

Kernels prior to 2.6.12.5 do not properly destroy a keyring that
is not instantiated properly, allowing a local user or remote
attacker to cause a DoS (oops) via a keyring with a payload that is
not empty (CVE-2005-2099).

An array index overflow in the xfrm_sk_policy_insert function in
xfrm_user.c allows local users to cause a DoS (oops or deadlock)
and possibly execute arbitrary code (CVE-2005-2456).

The zisofs driver in versions prior to 2.6.12.5 allows local
users and remove attackers to cause a DoS (crash) via a crafted
compressed ISO filesystem (CVE-2005-2457).

inflate.c in the zlib routines in versions prior to 2.6.12.5
allow remove attackers to cause a DoS (crash) via a compressed file
with “improper tables” (CVE-2005-2458).

The huft_build function in inflate.c in the zlib routines in
versions prior to 2.6.12.5 returns the wrong value, allowing remote
attackers to cause a DoS (crash) via a certain compressed file that
leads to a null pointer dereference (CVE-2005-2459).

A stack-based buffer overflow in the sendmsg function call in
versions prior to 2.6.13.1 allow local users to execute arbitrary
code by calling sendmsg and modifying the message contents in
another thread (CVE-2005-2490).

The raw_sendmsg function in versions prior to 2.6.13.1 allow
local users to cause a DoS (change hardware state) or read from
arbitrary memory via crafted input (CVE-2005-2492).

A memory leak in the seq_file implementation in the SCSI procfs
interface (sg.c) in 2.6.13 and earlier allows a local user to cause
a DoS (memory consumption) via certain repeated reads from
/proc/scsi/gs/devices file which is not properly handled when the
next() interator returns NULL or an error (CVE-2005-2800).

The ipt_recent module in versions prior to 2.6.12 when running
on 64bit processors allows remote attackers to cause a DoS (kernel
panic) via certain attacks such as SSH brute force
(CVE-2005-2872).

The ipt_recent module in versions prior to 2.6.12 does not
properly perform certain tests when the jiffies value is greater
than LONG_MAX, which can cause ipt_recent netfilter rules to block
too early (CVE-2005-2873).

Multiple vulnerabilities in versions prior to 2.6.13.2 allow
local users to cause a DoS (oops from null dereference) via fput in
a 32bit ioctl on 64-bit x86 systems or sockfd_put in the 32-bit
routing_ioctl function on 64-bit systems (CVE-2005-3044).

The sys_set_mempolicy function in mempolicy.c allows local users
to cause a DoS via a negative first argument (CVE-2005-3053).

Versions 2.6.8 to 2.6.14-rc2 allow local users to cause a DoS
(oops) via a userspace process that issues a USB Request Block
(URB) to a USB device and terminates before the URB is finished,
which leads to a stale pointer reference (CVE-2005-3055).

drm.c in version 2.6.13 and earlier creates a debug file in
sysfs with world-readable and world-writable permissions, allowing
local users to enable DRM debugging and obtain sensitive
information (CVE-2005-3179).

The Orinoco driver in 2.6.13 and earlier does not properly clear
memory from a previously used packet whose length is increased,
allowing remote attackers to obtain sensitive information
(CVE-2005-3180).

Kernels 2.6.13 and earlier, when CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL is enabled,
use an incorrect function to free names_cache memory, preventing
the memory from being tracked by AUDITSYSCALL code and leading to a
memory leak (CVE-2005-3181).

The VT implementation in version 2.6.12 allows local users to
use certain IOCTLs on terminals of other users and gain privileges
(CVE-2005-3257).

Exec does not properly clear posix-timers in multi-threaded
environments, which result in a resource leak and could allow a
large number of multiple local users to cause a DoS by using more
posixtimers than specified by the quota for a single user
(CVE-2005-3271).

The rose_rt_ioctl function rose_route.c in versions prior to
2.6.12 does not properly verify the ndigis argument for a new
route, allowing an attacker to trigger array out-of-bounds errors
with a large number of digipeats (CVE-2005-3273).

A race condition in ip_vs_conn_flush in versions prior to
2.6.13, when running on SMP systems, allows local users to cause a
DoS (null dereference) by causing a connection timer to expire
while the connection table is being flushed before the appropriate
lock is acquired (CVE-2005-3274).

The NAT code in versions prior to 2.6.13 incorrectly declares a
variable to be static, allowing remote attackers to cause a DoS
(memory corruption) by causing two packets for the same protocol to
be NATed at the same time (CVE-2005-3275).

The sys_get_thread_area function in process.c in versions prior
to 2.6.12.4 and 2.6.13 does not clear a data structure before
copying it to userspace, which may allow a user process to obtain
sensitive information (CVE-2005-3276).

The provided packages are patched to fix these vulnerabilities.
All users are encouraged to upgrade to these updated kernels.
