 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDVSA-2008:105
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Package : kernel
 Date    : May 21, 2008
 Affected: 2007.1
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Problem Description:
 
 The CIFS filesystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22, 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 drm/i915 component in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22.2, when
 used with i965G and later chipsets, allows local users with access
 to an X11 session and Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) to write
 to arbitrary memory locations and gain privileges via a crafted
 batchbuffer. (CVE-2007-3851)
 
 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. This vulnerability is now being fixed in the Xen
 kernel too. (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)
 
 A race condition in the directory notification subsystem (dnotify)
 in Linux kernel 2.6.x before 2.6.24.6, and 2.6.25 before 2.6.25.1,
 allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) and possibly
 gain privileges via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2008-1375)
 
 The Linux kernel before 2.6.25.2 does not apply a certain protection
 mechanism for fcntl functionality, which allows local users to (1)
 execute code in parallel or (2) exploit a race condition to obtain
 re-ordered access to the descriptor table. (CVE-2008-1669)
