 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDVSA-2008:008

 Package : kernel
 Date    : January 11, 2008
 Affected: Corporate 4.0
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Problem Description:
 
 Some vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux
 2.6 kernel:
 
 The CIFS filesystem, when Unix extension support is enabled, does
 not honor the umask of a process, which allows local users to gain
 privileges. (CVE-2007-3740)
 
 The (1) hugetlb_vmtruncate_list and (2) hugetlb_vmtruncate functions
 in fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.19-rc4 perform
 certain prio_tree calculations using HPAGE_SIZE instead of PAGE_SIZE
 units, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic)
 via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2007-4133)
 
 The IA32 system call emulation functionality in Linux kernel 2.4.x
 and 2.6.x before 2.6.22.7, when running on the x86_64 architecture,
 does not zero extend the eax register after the 32bit entry path to
 ptrace is used, which might allow local users to gain privileges by
 triggering an out-of-bounds access to the system call table using
 the %RAX register. (CVE-2007-4573)
 
 Integer underflow in the ieee80211_rx function in
 net/ieee80211/ieee80211_rx.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.x before
 2.6.23 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash)
 via a crafted SKB length value in a runt IEEE 802.11 frame when
 the IEEE80211_STYPE_QOS_DATA flag is set, aka an off-by-two
 error. (CVE-2007-4997)
 
 The disconnect method in the Philips USB Webcam (pwc) driver in Linux
 kernel 2.6.x before 2.6.22.6 relies on user space to close the device,
 which allows user-assisted local attackers to cause a denial of service
 (USB subsystem hang and CPU consumption in khubd) by not closing the
 device after the disconnect is invoked.  NOTE: this rarely crosses
 privilege boundaries, unless the attacker can convince the victim to
 unplug the affected device. (CVE-2007-5093)
 
 The wait_task_stopped function in the Linux kernel before 2.6.23.8
 checks a TASK_TRACED bit instead of an exit_state value, which
 allows local users to cause a denial of service (machine crash) via
 unspecified vectors.  NOTE: some of these details are obtained from
 third party information. (CVE-2007-5500)
 
 The minix filesystem code in Linux kernel 2.6.x up to 2.6.18, and
 possibly other versions, allows local users to cause a denial of
 service (hang) via a malformed minix file stream that triggers an
 infinite loop in the minix_bmap function. NOTE: this issue might be
 due to an integer overflow or signedness error. (CVE-2006-6058)
 
 Buffer overflow in the isdn_net_setcfg function in isdn_net.c in
 Linux kernel 2.6.23 allows local users to have an unknown impact via
 a crafted argument to the isdn_ioctl function. (CVE-2007-6063)
 
 Additionaly, support for Promise 4350 controller was added (stex
 module).
