Mark Dowd discovered that the netfilter iptables module did not correcly handle fragmented packets. By sending specially crafted packets, a remote attacker could exploit this to bypass firewall rules. This has only be fixed for Ubuntu 6.10; the corresponding fix for Ubuntu 5.10 and 6.06 will follow soon. (CVE-2006-4572)

Dmitriy Monakhov discovered an information leak in the
__block_prepare_write() function. During error recovery, this function did not properly clear memory buffers which could allow local users to read portions of unlinked files. This only affects Ubuntu 5.10.
(CVE-2006-4813)

ADLab Venustech Info Ltd discovered that the ATM network driver referenced an already released pointer in some circumstances. By sending specially crafted packets to a host over ATM, a remote attacker could exploit this to crash that host. This does not affect Ubuntu 6.10. (CVE-2006-4997)

Matthias Andree discovered that the NFS locking management daemon (lockd) did not correctly handle mixing of 'lock' and 'nolock' option mounts on the same client. A remote attacker could exploit this to crash lockd and thus rendering the NFS imports inaccessible. This only affects Ubuntu 5.10. (CVE-2006-5158)

The task switching code did not save and restore EFLAGS of processes.
By starting a specially crafted executable, a local attacker could exploit this to eventually crash many other running processes. This does not affect Ubuntu 6.10. (CVE-2006-5173)

James Morris discovered that the ip6fl_get_n() function incorrectly handled flow labels. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the kernel. (CVE-2006-5619)

Fabio Massimo Di Nitto discovered that the sys_get_robust_list and sys_set_robust_list system calls lacked proper lock handling on the powerpc platform. A local attacker could exploit this to create unkillable processes, drain all available CPU/memory, and render the machine unrebootable. This only affects Ubuntu 6.10. (CVE-2006-5648)

Fabio Massimo Di Nitto discovered a flaw in the alignment check exception handling on the powerpc platform. A local attacker could exploit this to cause a kernel panic and crash the machine.
(CVE-2006-5649)

Certain corrupted squashfs file system images caused a memory allocation to be freed twice. By mounting a specially crafted squashfs file system, a local attacker could exploit this to crash the kernel.
This does not affect Ubuntu 5.10. (CVE-2006-5701)

An integer overflow was found in the get_fdb_entries() function of the network bridging code. By executing a specially crafted ioctl, a local attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with root privileges. (CVE-2006-5751).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Several local and remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2006-3741     Stephane Eranian discovered a local DoS (Denial of     Service) vulnerability on the ia64 architecture. A local     user could exhaust the available file descriptors by     exploiting a counting error in the permonctl() system     call.

  - CVE-2006-4538     Kirill Korotaev reported a local DoS (Denial of Service)     vulnerability on the ia64 and sparc architectures. A     user could cause the system to crash by executing a     malformed ELF binary due to insufficient verification of     the memory layout.

  - CVE-2006-4813     Dmitriy Monakhov reported a potential memory leak in the
    __block_prepare_write function. __block_prepare_write     does not properly sanitize kernel buffers during error     recovery, which could be exploited by local users to     gain access to sensitive kernel memory.

  - CVE-2006-4997     ADLab Venustech Info Ltd reported a potential remote DoS     (Denial of Service) vulnerability in the IP over ATM     subsystem. A remote system could cause the system to     crash by sending specially crafted packets that would     trigger an attempt to free an already-freed pointer     resulting in a system crash.

  - CVE-2006-5174     Martin Schwidefsky reported a potential leak of     sensitive information on s390 systems. The     copy_from_user function did not clear the remaining     bytes of the kernel buffer after receiving a fault on     the userspace address, resulting in a leak of     uninitialized kernel memory. A local user could exploit     this by appending to a file from a bad address.

  - CVE-2006-5619     James Morris reported a potential local DoS (Denial of     Service) vulnerability that could be used to hang or     oops a system. The seqfile handling for     /proc/net/ip6_flowlabel has a flaw that can be exploited     to cause an infinite loop by reading this file after     creating a flowlabel.

  - CVE-2006-5649     Fabio Massimo Di Nitto reported a potential remote DoS     (Denial of Service) vulnerability on powerpc systems.
    The alignment exception only checked the exception table     for -EFAULT, not for other errors. This can be exploited     by a local user to cause a system crash (panic).

  - CVE-2006-5751     Eugene Teo reported a vulnerability in the     get_fdb_entries function that could potentially be     exploited to allow arbitrary code execution with     escalated privileges.

  - CVE-2006-5871     Bill Allombert reported that various mount options are     ignored by smbfs when UNIX extensions are enabled. This     includes the uid, gid and mode options. Client systems     would silently use the server-provided settings instead     of honoring these options, changing the security model.
    This update includes a fix from Haroldo Gamal that     forces the kernel to honor these mount options. Note     that, since the current versions of smbmount always pass     values for these options to the kernel, it is not     currently possible to activate unix extensions by     omitting mount options. However, this behavior is     currently consistent with the current behavior of the     next Debian release, 'etch'.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Several local and remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2005-4093     Olof Johansson reported a local DoS (Denial of Service)     vulnerability on the PPC970 platform. Unprivileged users     can hang the system by executing the 'attn' instruction,     which was not being disabled at boot.

  - CVE-2006-4538     Kirill Korotaev reported a local DoS (Denial of Service)     vulnerability on the ia64 and sparc architectures. A     user could cause the system to crash by executing a     malformed ELF binary due to insufficient verification of     the memory layout.
