This kernel update for openSUSE 11.0 fixes some bugs and several security problems.

The following security issues are fixed: A local denial of service problem in the splice(2) system call.

CVE-2009-1630: The nfs_permission function in fs/nfs/dir.c in the NFS client implementation in the Linux kernel when atomic_open is available, does not check execute (aka EXEC or MAY_EXEC) permission bits, which allows local users to bypass permissions and execute files, as demonstrated by files on an NFSv4 fileserver.

CVE-2009-0834: The audit_syscall_entry function in the Linux kernel on the x86_64 platform did not properly handle (1) a 32-bit process making a 64-bit syscall or (2) a 64-bit process making a 32-bit syscall, which allows local users to bypass certain syscall audit configurations via crafted syscalls.

CVE-2009-1072: nfsd in the Linux kernel did not drop the CAP_MKNOD capability before handling a user request in a thread, which allows local users to create device nodes, as demonstrated on a filesystem that has been exported with the root_squash option.

CVE-2009-0835 The __secure_computing function in kernel/seccomp.c in the seccomp subsystem in the Linux kernel on the x86_64 platform, when CONFIG_SECCOMP is enabled, does not properly handle (1) a 32-bit process making a 64-bit syscall or (2) a 64-bit process making a 32-bit syscall, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via crafted syscalls that are misinterpreted as (a) stat or (b) chmod.

CVE-2009-1439: Buffer overflow in fs/cifs/connect.c in CIFS in the Linux kernel 2.6.29 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or potential code execution via a long nativeFileSystem field in a Tree Connect response to an SMB mount request.

This requires that kernel can be made to mount a 'cifs' filesystem from a malicious CIFS server.

CVE-2009-1337: The exit_notify function in kernel/exit.c in the Linux kernel did not restrict exit signals when the CAP_KILL capability is held, which allows local users to send an arbitrary signal to a process by running a program that modifies the exit_signal field and then uses an exec system call to launch a setuid application.

CVE-2009-0859: The shm_get_stat function in ipc/shm.c in the shm subsystem in the Linux kernel, when CONFIG_SHMEM is disabled, misinterprets the data type of an inode, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang) via an SHM_INFO shmctl call, as demonstrated by running the ipcs program. (SUSE is enabling CONFIG_SHMEM, so is by default not affected, the fix is just for completeness).

CVE-2009-1242: The vmx_set_msr function in arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the VMX implementation in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel on the i386 platform allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) by setting the EFER_LME (aka 'Long mode enable') bit in the Extended Feature Enable Register (EFER) model-specific register, which is specific to the x86_64 platform.

CVE-2009-1265: Integer overflow in rose_sendmsg (sys/net/af_rose.c) in the Linux kernel might allow attackers to obtain sensitive information via a large length value, which causes 'garbage' memory to be sent.

CVE-2009-0028: The clone system call in the Linux kernel allows local users to send arbitrary signals to a parent process from an unprivileged child process by launching an additional child process with the CLONE_PARENT flag, and then letting this new process exit.

CVE-2009-0675: The skfp_ioctl function in drivers/net/skfp/skfddi.c in the Linux kernel permits SKFP_CLR_STATS requests only when the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability is absent, instead of when this capability is present, which allows local users to reset the driver statistics, related to an 'inverted logic' issue.

CVE-2009-0676: The sock_getsockopt function in net/core/sock.c in the Linux kernel does not initialize a certain structure member, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory via an SO_BSDCOMPAT getsockopt request.

CVE-2009-0322: drivers/firmware/dell_rbu.c in the Linux kernel allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a read system call that specifies zero bytes from the (1) image_type or (2) packet_size file in /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/.

CVE-2009-0269: fs/ecryptfs/inode.c in the eCryptfs subsystem in the Linux kernel allows local users to cause a denial of service (fault or memory corruption), or possibly have unspecified other impact, via a readlink call that results in an error, leading to use of a -1 return value as an array index.

CVE-2009-0065: Buffer overflow in net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c in the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (sctp) implementation in the Linux kernel allows remote attackers to have an unknown impact via an FWD-TSN (aka FORWARD-TSN) chunk with a large stream ID.

Some other non-security bugs were fixed, please see the RPM changelog.

The Linux kernel on SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 was updated to 2.6.27.23 and received lots of bugs and security fixes.

The following security issues have been fixed :

  - Buffer overflow in fs/cifs/connect.c in CIFS in the     Linux kernel 2.6.29 and earlier allows remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (crash) or potential code     execution via a long nativeFileSystem field in a Tree     Connect response to an SMB mount request.
    (CVE-2009-1439)

This requires that kernel can be made to mount a 'cifs' filesystem from a malicious CIFS server.

  - The exit_notify function in kernel/exit.c in the Linux     kernel did not restrict exit signals when the CAP_KILL     capability is held, which allows local users to send an     arbitrary signal to a process by running a program that     modifies the exit_signal field and then uses an exec     system call to launch a setuid application.
    (CVE-2009-1337)

The GCC option -fwrapv has been added to compilation to work around potentially removing integer overflow checks.

  - Integer overflow in rose_sendmsg (sys/net/af_rose.c) in     the Linux kernel might allow attackers to obtain     sensitive information via a large length value, which     causes 'garbage' memory to be sent. (CVE-2009-1265)

  - The vmx_set_msr function in arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the     VMX implementation in the KVM subsystem in the Linux     kernel on the i386 platform allows guest OS users to     cause a denial of service (OOPS) by setting the EFER_LME     (aka 'Long mode enable') bit in the Extended Feature     Enable Register (EFER) model-specific register, which is     specific to the x86_64 platform. (CVE-2009-1242)

  - The __inet6_check_established function in     net/ipv6/inet6_hashtables.c in the Linux kernel, when     Network Namespace Support (aka NET_NS) is enabled,     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via vectors     involving IPv6 packets. (CVE-2009-1360)

  - drivers/char/agp/generic.c in the agp subsystem in the     Linux kernel does not zero out pages that may later be     available to a user-space process, which allows local     users to obtain sensitive information by reading these     pages. (CVE-2009-1192)

Additionaly a lot of bugs have been fixed and are listed in the RPM changelog.
