Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 1 kernel was updated to 2.6.32.29 and fixes various bugs and security issues.

  - The ax25_getname function in net/ax25/af_ax25.c in the     Linux kernel did not initialize a certain structure,     which allowed local users to obtain potentially     sensitive information from kernel stack memory by     reading a copy of this structure. (CVE-2010-3875)

  - net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel did not     properly initialize certain structure members, which     allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive     information from kernel stack memory by leveraging the     CAP_NET_RAW capability to read copies of the applicable     structures. (CVE-2010-3876)

  - The get_name function in net/tipc/socket.c in the Linux     kernel did not initialize a certain structure, which     allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive     information from kernel stack memory by reading a copy     of this structure. (CVE-2010-3877)

  - The sctp_auth_asoc_get_hmac function in net/sctp/auth.c     in the Linux kernel did not properly validate the     hmac_ids array of an SCTP peer, which allowed remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (memory     corruption and panic) via a crafted value in the last     element of this array. (CVE-2010-3705)

  - A stack memory information leak in the xfs FSGEOMETRY_V1     ioctl was fixed. (CVE-2011-0711)

  - Multiple buffer overflows in the caiaq Native     Instruments USB audio functionality in the Linux kernel     might have allowed attackers to cause a denial of     service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a     long USB device name, related to (1) the     snd_usb_caiaq_audio_init function in     sound/usb/caiaq/audio.c and (2) the     snd_usb_caiaq_midi_init function in     sound/usb/caiaq/midi.c. (CVE-2011-0712)

  - The task_show_regs function in arch/s390/kernel/traps.c     in the Linux kernel on the s390 platform allowed local     users to obtain the values of the registers of an     arbitrary process by reading a status file under /proc/.
    (CVE-2011-0710)

  - The xfs implementation in the Linux kernel did not look     up inode allocation btrees before reading inode buffers,     which allowed remote authenticated users to read     unlinked files, or read or overwrite disk blocks that     are currently assigned to an active file but were     previously assigned to an unlinked file, by accessing a     stale NFS filehandle. (CVE-2010-2943)

  - The uart_get_count function in     drivers/serial/serial_core.c in the Linux kernel did not     properly initialize a certain structure member, which     allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive     information from kernel stack memory via a TIOCGICOUNT     ioctl call. (CVE-2010-4075)

  - The rs_ioctl function in drivers/char/amiserial.c in the     Linux kernel did not properly initialize a certain     structure member, which allowed local users to obtain     potentially sensitive information from kernel stack     memory via a TIOCGICOUNT ioctl call. (CVE-2010-4076)

  - The ntty_ioctl_tiocgicount function in     drivers/char/nozomi.c in the Linux kernel did not     properly initialize a certain structure member, which     allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive     information from kernel stack memory via a TIOCGICOUNT     ioctl call. (CVE-2010-4077)

  - fs/exec.c in the Linux kernel did not enable the OOM     Killer to assess use of stack memory by arrays     representing the (1) arguments and (2) environment,     which allows local users to cause a denial of service     (memory consumption) via a crafted exec system call, aka     an OOM dodging issue, a related issue to CVE-2010-3858.
    (CVE-2010-4243)

  - The blk_rq_map_user_iov function in block/blk-map.c in     the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial     of service (panic) via a zero-length I/O request in a     device ioctl to a SCSI device, related to an unaligned     map. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an     incomplete fix for CVE-2010-4163. (CVE-2010-4668)

  - Integer underflow in the irda_getsockopt function in     net/irda/af_irda.c in the Linux kernel on platforms     other than x86 allowed local users to obtain potentially     sensitive information from kernel heap memory via an     IRLMP_ENUMDEVICES getsockopt call. (CVE-2010-4529)

  - The aun_incoming function in net/econet/af_econet.c in     the Linux kernel, when Econet is enabled, allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and OOPS) by sending an Acorn Universal     Networking (AUN) packet over UDP. (CVE-2010-4342)

  - The backend driver in Xen 3.x allowed guest OS users to     cause a denial of service via a kernel thread leak,     which prevented the device and guest OS from being shut     down or create a zombie domain, causing a hang in     zenwatch, or preventing unspecified xm commands from     working properly, related to (1) netback, (2) blkback,     or (3) blktap. (CVE-2010-3699)

  - The install_special_mapping function in mm/mmap.c in the     Linux kernel did not make an expected security_file_mmap     function call, which allows local users to bypass     intended mmap_min_addr restrictions and possibly conduct     NULL pointer dereference attacks via a crafted     assembly-language application. (CVE-2010-4346)

  - Fixed a verify_ioctl overflow in 'cuse' in the fuse     filesystem. The code should only be called by root users     though. (CVE-2010-4650)

  - Race condition in the sctp_icmp_proto_unreachable     function in net/sctp/input.c in the Linux kernel allowed     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic)     via an ICMP unreachable message to a socket that is     already locked by a user, which causes the socket to be     freed and triggers list corruption, related to the     sctp_wait_for_connect function. (CVE-2010-4526)

  - The load_mixer_volumes function in sound/oss/soundcard.c     in the OSS sound subsystem in the Linux kernel     incorrectly expected that a certain name field ends with     a '0' character, which allowed local users to conduct     buffer overflow attacks and gain privileges, or possibly     obtain sensitive information from kernel memory, via a     SOUND_MIXER_SETLEVELS ioctl call. (CVE-2010-4527)

  - Fixed a LSM bug in IMA (Integrity Measuring     Architecture). IMA is not enabled in SUSE kernels, so we     were not affected. (CVE-2011-0006)
