U radu jezgre operacijskog sustava Ubuntu 10.04 uočeno je više sigurnosnih propusta koje napadač može iskoristiti za napad uskraćivanjem usluga (DoS) te otkrivanje osjetljivih informacija.
Paket:
Linux kernel 2.6.x
Operacijski sustavi:
Ubuntu Linux 10.04
Kritičnost:
5.8
Problem:
pogreška u programskoj funkciji, pogreška u programskoj komponenti, preljev međuspremnika
Sigurnosne ranjivosti su posljedica pogrešne inicijalizacije pojedinih struktura u funkcijama "rs_ioctl" i "ntty_ioctl_tiocgicount", preljeva međuspremnika u funkciji "is_gpt_valid", pogrešaka u implementaciji komponente "net/core/sock.c", itd.
Posljedica:
Napadač navedene ranjivosti može iskoristiti za otkrivanje određenih podataka te DoS (eng. Denial of Service) napad.
Rješenje:
Svim se korisnicima, u svrhu zaštite sigurnosti, savjetuje korištenje dostupnih programskih nadogradnji.

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1218-1
September 29, 2011
linux vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Summary:
Multiple kernel flaws have been fixed.
Software Description:
- linux: Linux kernel
Details:
Dan Rosenberg discovered that multiple terminal ioctls did not correctly
initialize structure memory. A local attacker could exploit this to read
portions of kernel stack memory, leading to a loss of privacy.
(CVE-2010-4076, CVE-2010-4077)
Alex Shi and Eric Dumazet discovered that the network stack did not
correctly handle packet backlogs. A remote attacker could exploit this by
sending a large amount of network traffic to cause the system to run out of
memory, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4251, CVE-2010-4805)
It was discovered that the /proc filesystem did not correctly handle
permission changes when programs executed. A local attacker could hold open
files to examine details about programs running with higher privileges,
potentially increasing the chances of exploiting additional
vulnerabilities. (CVE-2011-1020)
Dan Rosenberg discovered that the X.25 Rose network stack did not correctly
handle certain fields. If a system was running with Rose enabled, a remote
attacker could send specially crafted traffic to gain root privileges.
(CVE-2011-1493)
Timo Warns discovered that the GUID partition parsing routines did not
correctly validate certain structures. A local attacker with physical
access could plug in a specially crafted block device to crash the system,
leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2011-1577)
Dan Rosenberg discovered that the IPv4 diagnostic routines did not
correctly validate certain requests. A local attacker could exploit this to
consume CPU resources, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2011-2213)
Vasiliy Kulikov discovered that taskstats listeners were not correctly
handled. A local attacker could expoit this to exhaust memory and CPU
resources, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2011-2484)
It was discovered that Bluetooth l2cap and rfcomm did not correctly
initialize structures. A local attacker could exploit this to read portions
of the kernel stack, leading to a loss of privacy. (CVE-2011-2492)
Mauro Carvalho Chehab discovered that the si4713 radio driver did not
correctly check the length of memory copies. If this hardware was
available, a local attacker could exploit this to crash the system or gain
root privileges. (CVE-2011-2700)
Herbert Xu discovered that certain fields were incorrectly handled when
Generic Receive Offload (CVE-2011-2723)
The performance counter subsystem did not correctly handle certain
counters. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system, leading
to a denial of service. (CVE-2011-2918)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
linux-image-2.6.32-34-386 2.6.32-34.77
linux-image-2.6.32-34-generic 2.6.32-34.77
linux-image-2.6.32-34-generic-pae 2.6.32-34.77
linux-image-2.6.32-34-ia64 2.6.32-34.77
linux-image-2.6.32-34-lpia 2.6.32-34.77
linux-image-2.6.32-34-powerpc 2.6.32-34.77
linux-image-2.6.32-34-powerpc-smp 2.6.32-34.77
linux-image-2.6.32-34-powerpc64-smp 2.6.32-34.77
linux-image-2.6.32-34-preempt 2.6.32-34.77
linux-image-2.6.32-34-server 2.6.32-34.77
linux-image-2.6.32-34-sparc64 2.6.32-34.77
linux-image-2.6.32-34-sparc64-smp 2.6.32-34.77
linux-image-2.6.32-34-versatile 2.6.32-34.77
linux-image-2.6.32-34-virtual 2.6.32-34.77
After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.
ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have
been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and
reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed. If
you use linux-restricted-modules, you have to update that package as
well to get modules which work with the new kernel version. Unless you
manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages (e.g. linux-generic,
linux-server, linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically
perform this as well.
