U radu jezgre operacijskog sustava Ubuntu Linux (linux-mvl-dove) uočeno je više sigurnosnih propusta. Lokalni ih napadači mogu iskoristiti za otkrivanje osjetljivih informacija, izvođenje DoS napada ili dobivanje povećanih ovlasti.
Paket:
linux-mvl-dove 2.x
Operacijski sustavi:
Ubuntu Linux 10.10
Kritičnost:
5.8
Problem:
pogreška u programskoj funkciji, pogreška u programskoj komponenti
Iskorištavanje:
lokalno
Posljedica:
dobivanje većih privilegija, otkrivanje osjetljivih informacija, uskraćivanje usluga (DoS)
Propusti su posljedica nepravilnosti u rukovanju čitanjem TPM podataka vezanih uz sigurnost, pogreškama u datotečnim sustavima XFS i HFS, itd. Za uvid u detalje svih propusta preporuča se čitanje izvorne preporuke.
Posljedica:
Napadačima omogućuju izvođenje napada uskraćivanja usluge, otkrivanje osjetljivih podataka ili stjecanje administratorskih ovlasti.
Rješenje:
Korisnicima se savjetuje instalacija odgovarajuće nadogradnje.

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1303-1
December 13, 2011
linux-mvl-dove vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 10.10
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.
Software Description:
- linux-mvl-dove: Linux kernel for DOVE
Details:
Peter Huewe discovered an information leak in the handling of reading
security-related TPM data. A local, unprivileged user could read the
results of a previous TPM command. (CVE-2011-1162)
A bug was discovered in the XFS filesystem's handling of pathnames. A local
attacker could exploit this to crash the system, leading to a denial of
service, or gain root privileges. (CVE-2011-4077)
Nick Bowler discovered the kernel GHASH message digest algorithm
incorrectly handled error conditions. A local attacker could exploit this
to cause a kernel oops. (CVE-2011-4081)
A flaw was found in the Journaling Block Device (JBD). A local attacker
able to mount ext3 or ext4 file systems could exploit this to crash the
system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2011-4132)
A bug was found in the way headroom check was performed in
udp6_ufo_fragment() function. A remote attacker could use this flaw to
crash the system. (CVE-2011-4326)
Clement Lecigne discovered a bug in the HFS file system bounds checking.
When a malformed HFS file system is mounted a local user could crash the
system or gain root privileges. (CVE-2011-4330)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 10.10:
linux-image-2.6.32-421-dove 2.6.32-421.39
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.
