U radu jezgre operacijskog sustava Ubuntu Linux (linux-ti-omap4) otkrivene su višestruke sigurnosne ranjivosti. Lokalni, zlonamjerni korisnik ih može iskoristiti za izvođenje napada uskraćivanjem usluge (DoS) ili otkrivanje osjetljivih informacija.
Propusti su posljedica nepravilnosti pri čitanju TMP podataka, pogreške u HFS datotečnom sustavu i modulu FUSE, te nepravilnog rukovanja korisnički definiranim ključevima.
Posljedica:
Lokalni napadač može iskoristiti navedene propuste za izvođenje napada uskraćivanjem usluge ili pregled rezultata prethodno izvedene TMP naredbe.
Rješenje:
Korisnicima se savjetuje nadogradnja na ispravljenu inačicu.

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1319-1
January 05, 2012
linux-ti-omap4 vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 11.04
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.
Software Description:
- linux-ti-omap4: Linux kernel for OMAP4
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)
Clement Lecigne discovered a bug in the HFS filesystem. A local attacker
could exploit this to cause a kernel oops. (CVE-2011-2203)
Han-Wen Nienhuys reported a flaw in the FUSE kernel module. A local user
who can mount a FUSE file system could cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2011-3353)
A flaw was found in how the Linux kernel handles user-defined key types. An
unprivileged local user could exploit this to crash the system.
(CVE-2011-4110)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 11.04:
linux-image-2.6.38-1209-omap4 2.6.38-1209.20
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.
