U radu jezgre operacijskog sustava Ubuntu 11.04 otkriveni su i ispravljeni sigurnosni nedostaci koje su potencijalni napadači mogli iskoristiti za zaobilaženje postavljenih ograničenja i DoS napad.
Paket:
Linux kernel 2.6.x
Operacijski sustavi:
Ubuntu Linux 11.04
Kritičnost:
5.5
Problem:
neodgovarajuće rukovanje memorijom, pogreška u programskoj komponenti
Ranjivosti su povezane s greškama u implementaciji programskih komponenti NFSv4, KVM (Kernel Virtual Machine), funkciji "cap_bprm_set_creds" te s neodgovarajućim rukovanjem memorijom.
Posljedica:
Nedostatke zlonamjerni napadači mogu iskoristiti za napad uskraćivanjem usluga (DoS) i zaobilaženje postavljenih ograničenja.
Rješenje:
Rješenje problema sigurnosti je primjena službenih programskih rješenja.

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1457-1
May 31, 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:
Andy Adamson discovered a flaw in the Linux kernel's NFSv4 implementation.
A remote NFS server (attacker) could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of
service. (CVE-2011-4131)
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's KVM (Kernel Virtual Machine) virtual
cpu setup. An unprivileged local user could exploit this flaw to crash the
system leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2012-1601)
A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's KVM (kernel virtual machine).
An administrative user in the guest OS could leverage this flaw to cause a
denial of service in the host OS. (CVE-2012-2121)
Steve Grubb reported a flaw with Linux fscaps (file system base
capabilities) when used to increase the permissions of a process. For
application on which fscaps are in use a local attacker can disable address
space randomization to make attacking the process with raised privileges
easier. (CVE-2012-2123)
Schacher Raindel discovered a flaw in the Linux kernel's memory handling
when hugetlb is enabled. An unprivileged local attacker could exploit this
flaw to cause a denial of service and potentially gain higher privileges.
(CVE-2012-2133)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 11.04:
linux-image-2.6.38-15-generic 2.6.38-15.60

linux-image-2.6.38-15-powerpc-smp 2.6.38-15.60
linux-image-2.6.38-15-powerpc64-smp 2.6.38-15.60
linux-image-2.6.38-15-server 2.6.38-15.60
linux-image-2.6.38-15-versatile 2.6.38-15.60
linux-image-2.6.38-15-virtual 2.6.38-15.60
After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.
