Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service or privilege escalation. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2009-4895     Kyle Bader reported an issue in the tty subsystem that     allows local users to create a denial of service (NULL     pointer dereference).

  - CVE-2010-2226     Dan Rosenberg reported an issue in the xfs filesystem     that allows local users to copy and read a file owned by     another user, for which they only have write     permissions, due to a lack of permission checking in the     XFS_SWAPEXT ioctl.

  - CVE-2010-2240     Rafal Wojtczuk reported an issue that allows users to     obtain escalated privileges. Users must already have     sufficient privileges to execute or connect clients to     an Xorg server.

  - CVE-2010-2248     Suresh Jayaraman discovered an issue in the CIFS     filesystem. A malicious file server can set an incorrect     'CountHigh' value, resulting in a denial of service     (BUG_ON() assertion).

  - CVE-2010-2521     Neil Brown reported an issue in the NFSv4 server code. A     malicious client could trigger a denial of service     (Oops) on a server due to a bug in the read_buf()     routine.

  - CVE-2010-2798     Bob Peterson reported an issue in the GFS2 file system.
    A file system user could cause a denial of service     (Oops) via certain rename operations.

  - CVE-2010-2803     Kees Cook reported an issue in the DRM (Direct Rendering     Manager) subsystem. Local users with sufficient     privileges (local X users or members of the 'video'     group on a default Debian install) could acquire access     to sensitive kernel memory.

  - CVE-2010-2959     Ben Hawkes discovered an issue in the AF_CAN socket     family. An integer overflow condition may allow local     users to obtain elevated privileges.

  - CVE-2010-3015     Toshiyuki Okajima reported an issue in the ext4     filesystem. Local users could trigger a denial of     service (BUG assertion) by generating a specific set of     filesystem operations.

This update also includes fixes a regression introduced by a previous update. See the referenced Debian bug page for details.

Updated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues and one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

This update fixes the following security issues :

* a flaw was found in the CIFSSMBWrite() function in the Linux kernel Common Internet File System (CIFS) implementation. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted SMB response packet to a target CIFS client, resulting in a kernel panic (denial of service).
(CVE-2010-2248, Important)

* buffer overflow flaws were found in the Linux kernel's implementation of the server-side External Data Representation (XDR) for the Network File System (NFS) version 4. An attacker on the local network could send a specially crafted large compound request to the NFSv4 server, which could possibly result in a kernel panic (denial of service) or, potentially, code execution. (CVE-2010-2521, Important)

This update also fixes the following bug :

* the rpc_call_async() function in the SUN Remote Procedure Call (RPC) subsystem in the Linux kernel had a reference counting bug. In certain situations, some Network Lock Manager (NLM) messages may have triggered this bug on NFSv2 and NFSv3 servers, leading to a kernel panic (with 'kernel BUG at fs/lockd/host.c:[xxx]!' logged to '/var/log/messages'). (BZ#612962)

Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.

This update fixes the following security issues :

  - instances of unsafe sprintf() use were found in the     Linux kernel Bluetooth implementation. Creating a large     number of Bluetooth L2CAP, SCO, or RFCOMM sockets could     result in arbitrary memory pages being overwritten. A     local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a     kernel panic (denial of service) or escalate their     privileges. (CVE-2010-1084, Important)

  - a flaw was found in the Xen hypervisor implementation     when using the Intel Itanium architecture, allowing     guests to enter an unsupported state. An unprivileged     guest user could trigger this flaw by setting the BE     (Big Endian) bit of the Processor Status Register (PSR),     leading to the guest crashing (denial of service).
    (CVE-2010-2070, Important)

  - a flaw was found in the CIFSSMBWrite() function in the     Linux kernel Common Internet File System (CIFS)     implementation. A remote attacker could send a specially     crafted SMB response packet to a target CIFS client,     resulting in a kernel panic (denial of service).
    (CVE-2010-2248, Important)

  - buffer overflow flaws were found in the Linux kernel's     implementation of the server-side External Data     Representation (XDR) for the Network File System (NFS)     version 4. An attacker on the local network could send a     specially crafted large compound request to the NFSv4     server, which could possibly result in a kernel panic     (denial of service) or, potentially, code execution.
    (CVE-2010-2521, Important)

  - a flaw was found in the handling of the SWAPEXT IOCTL in     the Linux kernel XFS file system implementation. A local     user could use this flaw to read write-only files, that     they do not own, on an XFS file system. This could lead     to unintended information disclosure. (CVE-2010-2226,     Moderate)

  - a flaw was found in the dns_resolver upcall used by     CIFS. A local, unprivileged user could redirect a     Microsoft Distributed File System link to another IP     address, tricking the client into mounting the share     from a server of the user's choosing. (CVE-2010-2524,     Moderate)

  - a missing check was found in the mext_check_arguments()     function in the ext4 file system code. A local user     could use this flaw to cause the MOVE_EXT IOCTL to     overwrite the contents of an append-only file on an ext4     file system, if they have write permissions for that     file. (CVE-2010-2066, Low)
