This update fixes the following security issues :

  - A heap overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel's     Transparent Inter-Process Communication protocol (TIPC)     implementation. A local, unprivileged user could use     this flaw to escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-3859,     Important)

  - Missing sanity checks were found in gdth_ioctl_alloc()     in the gdth driver in the Linux kernel. A local user     with access to '/dev/gdth' on a 64-bit system could use     these flaws to cause a denial of service or escalate     their privileges. (CVE-2010-4157, Moderate)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the     Bluetooth HCI UART driver in the Linux kernel. A local,     unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial     of service. (CVE-2010-4242, Moderate)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's garbage collector     for AF_UNIX sockets. A local, unprivileged user could     use this flaw to trigger a denial of service     (out-of-memory condition). (CVE-2010-4249, Moderate)

  - Missing initialization flaws were found in the Linux     kernel. A local, unprivileged user could use these flaws     to cause information leaks. (CVE-2010-3876,     CVE-2010-4072, CVE-2010-4073, CVE-2010-4075,     CVE-2010-4080, CVE-2010-4083, CVE-2010-4158, Low)

This update also fixes the following bugs :

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel where, if used in     conjunction with another flaw that can result in a     kernel Oops, could possibly lead to privilege     escalation. It does not affect Red Hat Enterprise Linux     4 as the sysctl panic_on_oops variable is turned on by     default. However, as a preventive measure if the     variable is turned off by an administrator, this update     addresses the issue. (BZ#659568)

  - On Intel I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) hardware, jumbo     frame support is achieved by using page-based sk_buff     buffers without any packet split. The entire frame data     is copied to the page(s) rather than some to the     skb->data area and some to the page(s) when performing a     typical packet-split. This caused problems with the     filtering code and frames were getting dropped before     they were received by listening applications. This bug     could eventually lead to the IP address being released     and not being able to be re-acquired from DHCP if the     MTU (Maximum Transfer Unit) was changed (for an affected     interface using the e1000e driver). With this update,     frames are no longer dropped and an IP address is     correctly re-acquired after a previous release.
    (BZ#664667)

The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leak. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2010-0435     Gleb Napatov reported an issue in the KVM subsystem that     allows virtual machines to cause a denial of service of     the host machine by executing mov to/from DR     instructions.

  - CVE-2010-3699     Keir Fraser provided a fix for an issue in the Xen     subsystem. A guest can cause a denial of service on the     host by retaining a leaked reference to a device. This     can result in a zombie domain, xenwatch process hangs,     and xm command failures.

  - CVE-2010-4158     Dan Rosenberg discovered an issue in the socket filters     subsystem, allowing local unprivileged users to obtain     the contents of sensitive kernel memory.

  - CVE-2010-4162     Dan Rosenberg discovered an overflow issue in the block     I/O subsystem that allows local users to map large     numbers of pages, resulting in a denial of service due     to invocation of the out of memory killer.

  - CVE-2010-4163     Dan Rosenberg discovered an issue in the block I/O     subsystem. Due to improper validation of iov segments,     local users can trigger a kernel panic resulting in a     denial of service.

  - CVE-2010-4242     Alan Cox reported an issue in the Bluetooth subsystem.
    Local users with sufficient permission to access HCI     UART devices can cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference) due to a missing check for an existing tty     write operation.

  - CVE-2010-4243     Brad Spengler reported a denial-of-service issue in the     kernel memory accounting system. By passing large     argv/envp values to exec, local users can cause the out     of memory killer to kill processes owned by other users.

  - CVE-2010-4248     Oleg Nesterov reported an issue in the POSIX CPU timers     subsystem. Local users can cause a denial of service     (Oops) due to incorrect assumptions about thread group     leader behavior.

  - CVE-2010-4249     Vegard Nossum reported an issue with the UNIX socket     garbage collector. Local users can consume all of LOWMEM     and decrease system performance by overloading the     system with inflight sockets.

  - CVE-2010-4258     Nelson Elhage reported an issue in Linux oops handling.
    Local users may be able to obtain elevated privileges if     they are able to trigger an oops with a process' fs set     to KERNEL_DS.

  - CVE-2010-4342     Nelson Elhage reported an issue in the Econet protocol.
    Remote attackers can cause a denial of service by     sending an Acorn Universal Networking packet over UDP.

  - CVE-2010-4346     Tavis Ormandy discovered an issue in the     install_special_mapping routine which allows local users     to bypass the mmap_min_addr security restriction.
    Combined with an otherwise low severity local denial of     service vulnerability (NULL pointer dereference), a     local user could obtain elevated privileges.

  - CVE-2010-4526     Eugene Teo reported a race condition in the Linux SCTP     implementation. Remote users can cause a denial of     service (kernel memory corruption) by transmitting an     ICMP unreachable message to a locked socket.

  - CVE-2010-4527     Dan Rosenberg reported two issues in the OSS soundcard     driver. Local users with access to the device (members     of group 'audio' on default Debian installations) may     access to sensitive kernel memory or cause a buffer     overflow, potentially leading to an escalation of     privileges.

  - CVE-2010-4529     Dan Rosenberg reported an issue in the Linux kernel IrDA     socket implementation on non-x86 architectures. Local     users may be able to gain access to sensitive kernel     memory via a specially crafted IRLMP_ENUMDEVICES     getsockopt call.

  - CVE-2010-4565     Dan Rosenberg reported an issue in the Linux CAN     protocol implementation. Local users can obtain the     address of a kernel heap object which might help     facilitate system exploitation.

  - CVE-2010-4649     Dan Carpenter reported an issue in the uverb handling of     the InfiniBand subsystem. A potential buffer overflow     may allow local users to cause a denial of service     (memory corruption) by passing in a large cmd.ne value.

  - CVE-2010-4656     Kees Cook reported an issue in the driver for     I/O-Warrior USB devices. Local users with access to     these devices may be able to overrun kernel buffers,     resulting in a denial of service or privilege     escalation.

  - CVE-2010-4668     Dan Rosenberg reported an issue in the block subsystem.
    A local user can cause a denial of service (kernel     panic) by submitting certain 0-length I/O requests.

  - CVE-2011-0521     Dan Carpenter reported an issue in the DVB driver for     AV7110 cards. Local users can pass a negative info->num     value, corrupting kernel memory and causing a denial of     service.

Updated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues, several bugs, and add an enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

This update fixes the following security issues :

(CVE-2010-3432, Important)

* A missing integer overflow check was found in snd_ctl_new() in the Linux kernel's sound subsystem. A local, unprivileged user on a 32-bit system could use this flaw to cause a denial of service or escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-3442, Important)

* A heap overflow flaw in the Linux kernel's Transparent Inter-Process Communication protocol (TIPC) implementation could allow a local, unprivileged user to escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-3859, Important)
