Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Moderate: kernel security and bugfix update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2007:0774-01
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2007-0774.html
Issue date: 2007-09-04
Updated on: 2007-09-04
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
CVE Names: CVE-2006-0558 CVE-2007-1217
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Summary:
Updated kernel packages that fix several security issues and bugs in the
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 kernel are now available.
This security advisory has been rated as having moderate security impact
by the Red Hat Security Response Team.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, noarch, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, noarch, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, noarch, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, noarch, x86_64
3. Problem description:
The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system.
These new kernel packages contain fixes for the security issues described
below:
* a flaw in the ISDN CAPI subsystem that allowed a remote user to cause a
denial of service or potential remote access. Exploitation would require
the attacker to be able to send arbitrary frames over the ISDN network to
the victim's machine. (CVE-2007-1217, Moderate)
* a flaw in the perfmon subsystem on ia64 platforms that allowed a local
user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-0558, Moderate)
In addition, the following bugs were addressed:
* a panic after reloading of the LSI Fusion driver.
* a vm performance problem was corrected by balancing inactive page lists.
* added a nodirplus option to address NFSv3 performance issues with large
directories.
* changed the personality handling to disallow personality changes of
setuid and setgid binaries. This ensures they keep any randomization and
Exec-shield protection.
All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 users are advised to upgrade their kernels
to the packages associated with their machine architectures and
configurations as listed in this erratum.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_58_10188
5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):
243257 - CVE-2007-1217 Overflow in CAPI subsystem
248141 - lockup in shrink_zone when node out of memory
250199 - CVE-2006-0558 ia64 crash
