Debian Security Advisory DSA XXX-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Dann Frazier
XXXXX 8th, 2007 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : linux-2.6
Vulnerability : several
Problem-Type : local/remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2007-0005 CVE-2007-0958 CVE-2007-1357 CVE-2007-1592
Several local and remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux
kernel that may lead to a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary
code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the
following problems:
CVE-2007-0005
Daniel Roethlisberger discovered two buffer overflows in the cm4040
driver for the Omnikey CardMan 4040 device. A local user or malicious
device could exploit this to execute arbitrary code in kernel space.
CVE-2007-0958
Santosh Eraniose reported a vulnerability that allows local users to read
otherwise unreadable files by triggering a core dump while using PT_INTERP.
This is related to CVE-2004-1073.
CVE-2007-1357
Jean Delvare reported a vulnerability in the appletalk subsystem.
Systems with the appletalk module loaded can be triggered to crash
by other systems on the local network via a malformed frame.
CVE-2007-1592
Masayuki Nakagawa discovered that flow labels were inadvertently
being shared between listening sockets and child sockets. This defect
can be exploited by local users to cause a DoS (Oops).
This problem has been fixed in the stable distribution in version
2.6.18.dfsg.1-12etch1.
The following matrix lists additional packages that were rebuilt for
compatibility with or to take advantage of this update:
Debian 4.0 (etch)
fai-kernels 1.17etch1
user-mode-linux 2.6.18-1um-2etch1
We recommend that you upgrade your kernel package immediately and reboot
the machine. If you have built a custom kernel from the kernel source
package, you will need to rebuild to take advantage of these fixes.
Upgrade Instructions
--------------------
wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.
If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:
apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages
You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 alias etch
--------------------------------
These files will probably be moved into the stable distribution on
its next update.
