Candidate: CVE-2005-1589 References: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=111630531515901&w=2 http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/vulnwatch/2005-q2/0045.html http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/vulnwatch/2005-q2/0046.html http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/vulnwatch/2005-q2/0047.html http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.11.10 http://frontal2.mandriva.com/security/advisories?name=MDKSA-2005:219 http://www.frsirt.com/english/advisories/2005/0557 Description: The pkt_ioctl function in the pktcdvd block device ioctl handler (pktcdvd.c) in Linux kernel 2.6.12-rc4 and earlier calls the wrong function before passing an ioctl to the block device, which crosses security boundaries by making kernel address space accessible from user space and allows local users to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code, a similar vulnerability to CVE-2005-1264. Notes: horms> (discussing this and a similar problem): horms> 2.6.8 is only vulnerable to the raw ioctl problem, horms> which I believe is CAN-2005-1264. horms> (unstable/testing-proposed-updates) and sarge-security horms> (testing-security) branches and it should appear in 2.6.8-16 and horms> 2.6.8-15sarge1 respectively. horms> 2.4.27 does not appear to be vulnerable to either of these problems.
