From security@linux-mandrake.com Wed Feb 5 13:35:22 2003 From: Mandrake Linux Security Team To: full-disclosure@lists.netsys.com Date: 5 Feb 2003 18:03:29 -0000 Subject: [Full-Disclosure] MDKSA-2003:014 - Updated kernel packages fix a number of bugs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ________________________________________________________________________ Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory ________________________________________________________________________ Package name: kernel Advisory ID: MDKSA-2003:014 Date: February 5th, 2003 Affected versions: 9.0 ________________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: An updated kernel for 9.0 is available with a number of bug fixes. Supermount has been completely overhauled and should be solid on all systems. Other fixes include XFS with high memory, a netfilter fix, a fix for Sony VAIO DMI, i845 should now work with UDMA, and new support for VIA C3 is included. Prism24 has been updated so it now works properly on HP laptops and a new ACPI is included, although it is disabled by default for broader compatibility. This also fixes a security problem that allows non-root users to freeze the kernel, and a fix for a vulnerability in O_DIRECT handling that can create a limited information leak where any user on the system with write privilege to the file system from previously deleted files. This also allows users to create minor file system corruption (this can easily be repaired by fsck). ________________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0018 ________________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandrake Linux 9.0: ed3a07724f3b510d3d57fe35fc601e78 9.0/RPMS/kernel-2.4.19.24mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm 8b5b1721639ff0f137650fed781b2061 9.0/RPMS/kernel-BOOT-2.4.19.24mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm db575a265fb967568af320072132ac50 9.0/RPMS/kernel-doc-2.4.19-24mdk.i586.rpm 998177a07d674e2ca94c9cdcf3ee2ef4 9.0/RPMS/kernel-enterprise-2.4.19.24mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm da5d2a2cbada7b6db04468eadcf94979 9.0/RPMS/kernel-secure-2.4.19.24mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm 33543e3392b9afda0f663d880a733614 9.0/RPMS/kernel-smp-2.4.19.24mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm cba769d4bdec28c862b1c84498106f2d 9.0/RPMS/kernel-source-2.4.19-24mdk.i586.rpm 8b446dc9c29a72a34fa3e63d2ca3ae8c 9.0/SRPMS/kernel-2.4.19.24mdk-1-1mdk.src.rpm ________________________________________________________________________ Bug IDs fixed (see https://qa.mandrakesoft.com for more information): ________________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically, use MandrakeUpdate.
