Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2002-0083
Package name: kernel
Summary: Local DoS
Date: 2002-19-12
Affected versions: TSL 1.01, 1.1, 1.2, 1.5
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package description:
The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of your
Trustix Secure Linux operating system. The kernel handles the basic
functions of the operating system: memory allocation, process allocation,
device input and output, etc.
Problem description:
In all Linux 2.2 kernels up to and including 2.2.23, the /proc/<pid>/mem
interface can be abused to crash the system. This release is patched
disabling the usage of mmap() on /proc/<pid>/mem.
Action:
We recommend that all systems with this package installed be upgraded.
Location:
All TSL updates are available from
<URI:http://www.trustix.net/pub/Trustix/updates/>;
