Debian: kernel Multiple vulnerabilities DSA-480-1
Summary
Several serious problems have been discovered in the Linux kernel.
This update takes care of Linux 2.4.17 and 2.4.18 for the hppa
(PA-RISC) architecture. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project identifies the following problems that will be fixed with this
update:
CAN-2004-0003
A vulnerability has been discovered in the R128 drive in the Linux
kernel which could potentially lead an attacker to gain
unauthorised privileges. Alan Cox and Thomas Biege developed a
correction for this
CAN-2004-0010
Arjan van de Ven discovered a stack-based buffer overflow in the
ncp_lookup function for ncpfs in the Linux kernel, which could
lead an attacker to gain unauthorised privileges. Petr Vandrovec
developed a correction for this.
CAN-2004-0109
zen-parse discovered a buffer overflow vulnerability in the
ISO9660 filesystem component of Linux kernel which could be abused
by an attacker to gain unauthorised root access. Sebastian
Krahmer and Ernie Petrides developed a correction for this.
CAN-2004-0177
Solar Designer discovered an information leak in the ext3 code of
Linux. In a worst case an attacker could read sensitive data such
as cryptographic keys which would otherwise never hit disk media.
Theodore Ts'o developed a correction for this.
CAN-2004-0178
Andreas Kies discovered a denial of service condition in the Sound
Blaster driver in Linux. He also developed a correction for this.
These problems will also be fixed by upstream in Linux 2.4.26 and
future versions of 2.6.
For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 32.4 for Linux 2.4.17 and in version 62.3 for Linux 2.4.18.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your kernel packages immediately, either
with a Debian provided kernel or with a self compiled one.
Upgrade Instructions
- --------------------
wget url
