Uočeno je više sigurnosnih nedostataka u radu jezgre operacijskog sustava Ubuntu 11.04. Napadač ih može iskoristiti za napad uskraćivanjem usluga (DoS) te dobivanje većih ovlasti.
Paket:
Linux kernel 3.x
Operacijski sustavi:
Ubuntu Linux 11.04
Kritičnost:
9.3
Problem:
neodgovarajuće rukovanje pogreškama, pogreška u programskoj komponenti
Iskorištavanje:
lokalno/udaljeno
Posljedica:
dobivanje većih privilegija, uskraćivanje usluga (DoS)
Problemi sigurnosti su posljedica neodgovarajućeg rukovanja zadacima (eng. Tasks) u OOM (eng. Out Of Memory) uvjetima te pogreške u implementaciji komponenata "TOMOYO LSM" i "IPv4 IGMP".
Posljedica:
Zloćudni korisnik navedene nedostatke može iskoristiti za dobivanje većih privilegija u sustavu te za DoS (eng. Denial of Service) napad.
Rješenje:
Svim se korisnicima preporuča korištenje dostupnih nadogradnji.

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1380-1
February 29, 2012
linux 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: Linux kernel
Details:
The linux kernel did not properly account for PTE pages when deciding which
task to kill in out of memory conditions. A local, unprivileged could
exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2011-2498)
A flaw was discovered in the TOMOYO LSM's handling of mount system calls.
An unprivileged user could oops the system causing a denial of service.
(CVE-2011-2518)
A bug was discovered in the Linux kernel's calculation of OOM (Out of
memory) scores, that would result in the wrong process being killed. A user
could use this to kill the process with the highest OOM score, even if that
process belongs to another user or the system. (CVE-2011-4097)
A flaw was found in the linux kernels IPv4 IGMP query processing. A remote
attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2012-0207)
