Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Moderate: kernel security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2006:0580-01
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2006-0580.html
Issue date: 2006-07-13
Updated on: 2006-07-13
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
CVE Names: CVE-2005-3055 CVE-2005-3273 CVE-2006-1342
CVE-2006-1343 CVE-2006-1864 CVE-2006-2071
CVE-2006-2444
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Summary:
Updated kernel packages that fix a number of security issues as well as
other bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 (64 bit
architectures)
This security advisory has been rated as having important security impact
by the Red Hat Security Response Team.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (Advanced Server) version 2.1 - ia64
Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1 - ia64
3. Problem description:
The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system.
These new kernel packages contain fixes for the security issues described
below:
* a flaw in the USB devio handling of device removal that allowed a local
user to cause a denial of service (crash) (CVE-2005-3055, moderate)
* a flaw in ROSE due to missing verification of the ndigis argument of new
routes (CVE-2005-3273, moderate)
* a minor info leak in socket name handling in the network code
(CVE-2006-1342, low)
* a minor info leak in socket option handling in the network code
(CVE-2006-1343, low)
* a directory traversal vulnerability in smbfs that allowed a local user to
escape chroot restrictions for an SMB-mounted filesystem via "..\\"
sequences (CVE-2006-1864, moderate)
* a flaw in the mprotect system call that allowed to give write permission
to a readonly attachment of shared memory (CVE-2006-2071, moderate)
* a flaw in IPv4 netfilter handling for the unlikely use of SNMP NAT
processing that allowed a remote user to cause a denial of service (crash)
or potential memory corruption (CVE-2006-2444, moderate)
All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 users are advised to upgrade their kernels
to these updated packages, which contain backported fixes to correct these
issues.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,
