Put together an advisory for the linux-2.6 packages. This is not a normal
DTSA since the fix reached testing on its own steam; it seemed worth making
an announcement since users need to take special actions to install the new
linux-2.6 packages and upgrade.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies <br> +the following problems: <br> + <br> +CAN-2004-2302 <br> + <br> + Race condition in the sysfs_read_file and sysfs_write_file functions in <br> + Linux kernel before 2.6.10 allows local users to read kernel memory and <br> + cause a denial of service (crash) via large offsets in sysfs files. <br> + <br> +CAN-2005-1761 <br> + <br> + Vulnerability in the Linux kernel allows local users to cause a <br> + denial of service (kernel crash) via ptrace. <br> + <br> +CAN-2005-1762 <br> + <br> + The ptrace call in the Linux kernel 2.6.8.1 and 2.6.10 for the AMD64 <br> + platform allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) via <br> + a "non-canonical" address. <br> + <br> +CAN-2005-1765 <br> + <br> + syscall in the Linux kernel 2.6.8.1 and 2.6.10 for the AMD64 platform, when <br> + running in 32-bit compatibility mode, allows local users to cause a denial <br> + of service (kernel hang) via crafted arguments. <br> + <br> +CAN-2005-1913 <br> + <br> + When a non group-leader thread called exec() to execute a different program <br> + while an itimer was pending, the timer expiry would signal the old group <br> + leader task, which did not exist any more. This caused a kernel panic. <br> + <br> +CAN-2005-2098 <br> + <br> + The KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING operation in the Linux kernel before <br> + 2.6.12.5 contains an error path that does not properly release the session <br> + management semaphore, which allows local users or remote attackers to cause <br> + a denial of service (semaphore hang) via a new session keyring (1) with an <br> + empty name string, (2) with a long name string, (3) with the key quota <br> + reached, or (4) ENOMEM. <br> + <br> +CAN-2005-2099 <br> + <br> + The Linux kernel before 2.6.12.5 does not properly destroy a keyring that <br> + is not instantiated properly, which allows local users or remote attackers <br> + to cause a denial of service (kernel oops) via a keyring with a payload <br> + that is not empty, which causes the creation to fail, leading to a null <br> + dereference in the keyring destructor. <br> + <br> +CAN-2005-2456 <br> + <br> + Array index overflow in the xfrm_sk_policy_insert function in xfrm_user.c <br> + in Linux kernel 2.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (oops <br> + or deadlock) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a p->dir value that is <br> + larger than XFRM_POLICY_OUT, which is used as an index in the <br> + sock->sk_policy array. <br> + <br> +CAN-2005-2457 <br> + <br> + The driver for compressed ISO file systems (zisofs) in the Linux kernel <br> + before 2.6.12.5 allows local users and remote attackers to cause a denial <br> + of service (kernel crash) via a crafted compressed ISO file system. <br> + <br> +CAN-2005-2458 <br> + <br> + inflate.c in the zlib routines in the Linux kernel before 2.6.12.5 allows <br> + remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) via a <br> + compressed file with "improper tables". <br> + <br> +CAN-2005-2459 <br> + <br> + The huft_build function in inflate.c in the zlib routines in the Linux <br> + kernel before 2.6.12.5 returns the wrong value, which allows remote <br> + attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) via a certain <br> + compressed file that leads to a null pointer dereference, a different <br> + vulnerbility than CAN-2005-2458. <br> + <br> +CAN-2005-2548 <br> + <br> + vlan_dev.c in Linux kernel 2.6.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial <br> + of service (kernel oops from null dereference) via certain UDP packets that <br> + lead to a function call with the wrong argument, as demonstrated using <br> + snmpwalk on snmpd. <br> + <br> +CAN-2005-2555 <br> + <br> + Linux kernel 2.6.x does not properly restrict socket policy access to users <br> + with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability, which could allow local users to conduct <br> + unauthorized activities via (1) ipv4/ip_sockglue.c and (2) <br> + ipv6/ipv6_sockglue.c. <br> + <br> +CAN-2005-2617 <br> + <br> + The syscall32_setup_pages function in syscall32.c for Linux kernel 2.6.12 <br> + and later, on the amd64 architecture, does not check the return value of <br> + the insert_vm_struct function, which allows local users to trigger a memory <br> + leak via a 32-bit application with crafted ELF headers. <br> + <br> +In addition this update fixes some security issues that have not been <br> +assigned CVE ids: <br> + <br> + - Fix DST leak in icmp_push_reply(). Possible remote DoS? <br> + <br> + - NPTL signal delivery deadlock fix; possible local DoS. <br> + <br> + - fix a memory leak in devices seq_file implementation; local DoS. <br> + <br> + - Fix SKB leak in ip6_input_finish(); local DoS. <br> +</dd> +<br><dt>For the testing distribution (etch) this is fixed in version 2.6.12-6</dt> +<dt>For the unstable distribution (sid) this is fixed in version 2.6.12-6</dt> +</dl> +<p> +The Debian testing security team does not track security issues for the +stable (sarge) and oldstable (woody) distributions.
