Security fixes :

  - a NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux     kernel NFSv4 implementation. Several of the NFSv4 file     locking functions failed to check whether a file had     been opened on the server before performing locking     operations on it. A local, unprivileged user on a system     with an NFSv4 share mounted could possibly use this flaw     to cause a kernel panic (denial of service) or escalate     their privileges. (CVE-2009-3726, Important)

  - a flaw was found in the sctp_process_unk_param()     function in the Linux kernel Stream Control Transmission     Protocol (SCTP) implementation. A remote attacker could     send a specially crafted SCTP packet to an SCTP     listening port on a target system, causing a kernel     panic (denial of service). (CVE-2010-1173, Important)

  - a race condition between finding a keyring by name and     destroying a freed keyring was found in the Linux kernel     key management facility. A local, unprivileged user     could use this flaw to cause a kernel panic (denial of     service) or escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-1437,     Important)

Red Hat would like to thank Simon Vallet for responsibly reporting CVE-2009-3726; and Jukka Taimisto and Olli Jarva of Codenomicon Ltd, Nokia Siemens Networks, and Wind River on behalf of their customer, for responsibly reporting CVE-2010-1173.

Bug fixes :

  - RHBA-2007:0791 introduced a regression in the Journaling     Block Device (JBD). Under certain circumstances,     removing a large file (such as 300 MB or more) did not     result in inactive memory being freed, leading to the     system having a large amount of inactive memory. Now,     the memory is correctly freed. (BZ#589155)

  - the timer_interrupt() routine did not scale lost real     ticks to logical ticks correctly, possibly causing time     drift for 64-bit Scientific Linux 4 KVM (Kernel-based     Virtual Machine) guests that were booted with the     'divider=x' kernel parameter set to a value greater than     1. 'warning: many lost ticks' messages may have been     logged on the affected guest systems. (BZ#590551)

  - a bug could have prevented NFSv3 clients from having the     most up-to-date file attributes for files on a given     NFSv3 file system. In cases where a file type changed,     such as if a file was removed and replaced with a     directory of the same name, the NFSv3 client may not     have noticed this change until stat(2) was called (for     example, by running 'ls -l'). (BZ#596372)

  - RHBA-2007:0791 introduced bugs in the Linux kernel PCI-X     subsystem. These could have caused a system deadlock on     some systems where the BIOS set the default Maximum     Memory Read Byte Count (MMRBC) to 4096, and that also     use the Intel PRO/1000 Linux driver, e1000. Errors such     as 'e1000: eth[x]: e1000_clean_tx_irq: Detected Tx Unit     Hang' were logged. (BZ#596374)

  - an out of memory condition in a KVM guest, using the     virtio-net network driver and also under heavy network     stress, could have resulted in that guest being unable     to receive network traffic. Users had to manually remove     and re-add the virtio_net module and restart the network     service before networking worked as expected. Such     memory conditions no longer prevent KVM guests receiving     network traffic. (BZ#597310)

  - when an SFQ qdisc that limited the queue size to two     packets was added to a network interface, sending     traffic through that interface resulted in a kernel     crash. Such a qdisc no longer results in a kernel crash.
    (BZ#597312)

  - when an NFS client opened a file with the O_TRUNC flag     set, it received a valid stateid, but did not use that     stateid to perform the SETATTR call. Such cases were     rejected by Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 NFS servers with     an 'NFS4ERR_BAD_STATEID' error, possibly preventing some     NFS clients from writing files to an NFS file system.
    (BZ#597314)

Updated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues and several bugs 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 :

* multiple flaws were found in the mmap and mremap implementations. A local user could use these flaws to cause a local denial of service or escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-0291, Important)

* a NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Fast Userspace Mutexes (futexes) implementation. The unlock code path did not check if the futex value associated with pi_state->owner had been modified.
A local user could use this flaw to modify the futex value, possibly leading to a denial of service or privilege escalation when the pi_state->owner pointer is dereferenced. (CVE-2010-0622, Important)

* a NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel Network File System (NFS) implementation. A local user on a system that has an NFS-mounted file system could use this flaw to cause a denial of service or escalate their privileges on that system.
(CVE-2010-1087, Important)

* a flaw was found in the sctp_process_unk_param() function in the Linux kernel Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) implementation. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted SCTP packet to an SCTP listening port on a target system, causing a kernel panic (denial of service). (CVE-2010-1173, Important)

* a flaw was found in the Linux kernel Transparent Inter-Process Communication protocol (TIPC) implementation. If a client application, on a local system where the tipc module is not yet in network mode, attempted to send a message to a remote TIPC node, it would dereference a NULL pointer on the local system, causing a kernel panic (denial of service). (CVE-2010-1187, Important)

* a buffer overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel Global File System 2 (GFS2) implementation. In certain cases, a quota could be written past the end of a memory page, causing memory corruption, leaving the quota stored on disk in an invalid state. A user with write access to a GFS2 file system could trigger this flaw to cause a kernel crash (denial of service) or escalate their privileges on the GFS2 server. This issue can only be triggered if the GFS2 file system is mounted with the 'quota=on' or 'quota=account' mount option.
(CVE-2010-1436, Important)

* a race condition between finding a keyring by name and destroying a freed keyring was found in the Linux kernel key management facility. A local user could use this flaw to cause a kernel panic (denial of service) or escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-1437, Important)

* a flaw was found in the link_path_walk() function in the Linux kernel. Using the file descriptor returned by the open() function with the O_NOFOLLOW flag on a subordinate NFS-mounted file system, could result in a NULL pointer dereference, causing a denial of service or privilege escalation. (CVE-2010-1088, Moderate)

* a missing permission check was found in the gfs2_set_flags() function in the Linux kernel GFS2 implementation. A local user could use this flaw to change certain file attributes of files, on a GFS2 file system, that they do not own. (CVE-2010-1641, Low)

Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Kernel was updated to 2.6.27.48 fixing various bugs and security issues.

CVE-2010-1641: The do_gfs2_set_flags function in fs/gfs2/file.c in the Linux kernel does not verify the ownership of a file, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via a SETFLAGS ioctl request.

CVE-2010-1087: The nfs_wait_on_request function in fs/nfs/pagelist.c in the Linux kernel allows attackers to cause a denial of service (Oops) via unknown vectors related to truncating a file and an operation that is not interruptible. 

CVE-2010-1643: mm/shmem.c in the Linux kernel, when strict overcommit is enabled, does not properly handle the export of shmemfs objects by knfsd, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and knfsd crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.

CVE-2010-1437: Race condition in the find_keyring_by_name function in security/keys/keyring.c in the Linux kernel allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via keyctl session commands that trigger access to a dead keyring that is undergoing deletion by the key_cleanup function.

CVE-2010-1446: arch/powerpc/mm/fsl_booke_mmu.c in KGDB in the Linux kernel, when running on PowerPC, does not properly perform a security check for access to a kernel page, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary kernel memory, related to Fsl booke.

CVE-2010-1162: The release_one_tty function in drivers/char/tty_io.c in the Linux kernel omits certain required calls to the put_pid function, which has unspecified impact and local attack vectors.

CVE-2009-4537: drivers/net/r8169.c in the r8169 driver in the Linux kernel does not properly check the size of an Ethernet frame that exceeds the MTU, which allows remote attackers to (1) cause a denial of service (temporary network outage) via a packet with a crafted size, in conjunction with certain packets containing A characters and certain packets containing E characters; or (2) cause a denial of service (system crash) via a packet with a crafted size, in conjunction with certain packets containing '\0' characters, related to the value of the status register and erroneous behavior associated with the RxMaxSize register. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2009-1389.
