================================================== ========= Ubuntu Security Notice USN-752-1 April 07, 2009 linux-source-2.6.15 vulnerabilities CVE-2008-4307, CVE-2008-6107, CVE-2009-0028, CVE-2009-0029, CVE-2009-0065, CVE-2009-0322, CVE-2009-0675, CVE-2009-0676, CVE-2009-0834, CVE-2009-0835, CVE-2009-0859 ================================================== ========= A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu. The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS: linux-image-2.6.15-54-386 2.6.15-54.76 linux-image-2.6.15-54-686 2.6.15-54.76 linux-image-2.6.15-54-amd64-generic 2.6.15-54.76 linux-image-2.6.15-54-amd64-k8 2.6.15-54.76 linux-image-2.6.15-54-amd64-server 2.6.15-54.76 linux-image-2.6.15-54-amd64-xeon 2.6.15-54.76 linux-image-2.6.15-54-hppa32 2.6.15-54.76 linux-image-2.6.15-54-hppa32-smp 2.6.15-54.76 linux-image-2.6.15-54-hppa64 2.6.15-54.76 linux-image-2.6.15-54-hppa64-smp 2.6.15-54.76 linux-image-2.6.15-54-itanium 2.6.15-54.76 linux-image-2.6.15-54-itanium-smp 2.6.15-54.76 linux-image-2.6.15-54-k7 2.6.15-54.76 linux-image-2.6.15-54-mckinley 2.6.15-54.76 linux-image-2.6.15-54-mckinley-smp 2.6.15-54.76 linux-image-2.6.15-54-powerpc 2.6.15-54.76 linux-image-2.6.15-54-powerpc-smp 2.6.15-54.76 linux-image-2.6.15-54-powerpc64-smp 2.6.15-54.76 linux-image-2.6.15-54-server 2.6.15-54.76 linux-image-2.6.15-54-server-bigiron 2.6.15-54.76 linux-image-2.6.15-54-sparc64 2.6.15-54.76 linux-image-2.6.15-54-sparc64-smp 2.6.15-54.76 After a standard system upgrade you need to reboot your computer to effect the necessary changes. ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed. If you use linux-restricted-modules, you have to update that package as well to get modules which work with the new kernel version. Unless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages (e.g. linux-generic, linux-server, linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform this as well. Details follow: NFS did not correctly handle races between fcntl and interrupts. A local attacker on an NFS mount could consume unlimited kernel memory, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-4307) Sparc syscalls did not correctly check mmap regions. A local attacker could cause a system panic, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-6107) In certain situations, cloned processes were able to send signals to parent processes, crossing privilege boundaries. A local attacker could send arbitrary signals to parent processes, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2009-0028) The 64-bit syscall interfaces did not correctly handle sign extension. A local attacker could make malicious syscalls, possibly gaining root privileges. The x86_64 architecture was not affected. (CVE-2009-0029) The SCTP stack did not correctly validate FORWARD-TSN packets. A remote attacker could send specially crafted SCTP traffic causing a system crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2009-0065) The Dell platform device did not correctly validate user parameters. A local attacker could perform specially crafted reads to crash the system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2009-0322) Network interfaces statistics for the SysKonnect FDDI driver did not check capabilities. A local user could reset statistics, potentially interfering with packet accounting systems. (CVE-2009-0675) The getsockopt function did not correctly clear certain parameters. A local attacker could read leaked kernel memory, leading to a loss of privacy. (CVE-2009-0676) The syscall interface did not correctly validate parameters when crossing the 64-bit/32-bit boundary. A local attacker could bypass certain syscall restricts via crafted syscalls. (CVE-2009-0834, CVE-2009-0835) The shared memory subsystem did not correctly handle certain shmctl calls when CONFIG_SHMEM was disabled. Ubuntu kernels were not vulnerable, since CONFIG_SHMEM is enabled by default. (CVE-2009-0859)
