Package : kernel
Vulnerability : several
Problem-Type : local, remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids : CVE-2002-0429 CAN-2003-0001 CAN-2003-0127 CAN-2003-0244 CAN-2003-0246 CAN-2003-0247 CAN-2003-0248 CAN-2003-0364
A number of vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel.
- - CVE-2002-0429: The iBCS routines in arch/i386/kernel/traps.c for
Linux kernels 2.4.18 and earlier on x86 systems allow local users to
kill arbitrary processes via a a binary compatibility interface
(lcall)
- - CAN-2003-0001: Multiple ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) device
drivers do not pad frames with null bytes, which allows remote
attackers to obtain information from previous packets or kernel
memory by using malformed packets
- - CAN-2003-0127: The kernel module loader allows local users to gain
root privileges by using ptrace to attach to a child process that is
spawned by the kernel
- - CAN-2003-0244: The route cache implementation in Linux 2.4, and the
Netfilter IP conntrack module, allows remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (CPU consumption) via packets with forged source
addresses that cause a large number of hash table collisions related
to the PREROUTING chain
- - CAN-2003-0246: The ioperm system call in Linux kernel 2.4.20 and
earlier does not properly restrict privileges, which allows local
users to gain read or write access to certain I/O ports.
- - CAN-2003-0247: vulnerability in the TTY layer of the Linux kernel
2.4 allows attackers to cause a denial of service ("kernel oops")
- - CAN-2003-0248: The mxcsr code in Linux kernel 2.4 allows attackers
to modify CPU state registers via a malformed address.
- - CAN-2003-0364: The TCP/IP fragment reassembly handling in the Linux
kernel 2.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU
consumption) via certain packets that cause a large number of hash
table collisions
This advisory covers only the i386 (Intel IA32) architectures. Other
architectures will be covered by separate advisories.
For the stable distribution (woody) on the i386 architecture, these
problems have been fixed in kernel-source-2.4.18 version 2.4.18-9,
kernel-image-2.4.18-1-i386 version 2.4.18-8, and
kernel-image-2.4.18-i386bf version 2.4.18-5woody1.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems are fixed in the
2.4.20 series kernels based on Debian sources.
We recommend that you update your kernel packages.
If you are using the kernel installed by the installation system when
the "bf24" option is selected (for a 2.4.x kernel), you should install
the kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2.4 package. If you installed a different
kernel-image package after installation, you should install the
corresponding 2.4.18-1 kernel. You may use the table below as a
guide.
| If "uname -r" shows: | Install this package:
- ------------------------------------------------------
| 2.4.18-bf2.4 | kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2.4
| 2.4.18-386 | kernel-image-2.4.18-1-386
| 2.4.18-586tsc | kernel-image-2.4.18-1-586tsc
| 2.4.18-686 | kernel-image-2.4.18-1-686
| 2.4.18-686-smp | kernel-image-2.4.18-1-686-smp
| 2.4.18-k6 | kernel-image-2.4.18-1-k6
| 2.4.18-k7 | kernel-image-2.4.18-1-k7
NOTE: that this kernel is not binary compatible with the previous
version. For this reason, the kernel has a different version number
and will not be installed automatically as part of the normal upgrade
process. Any custom modules will need to be rebuilt in order to work
with the new kernel. New PCMCIA modules are provided for all of the
above kernels.
NOTE: A system reboot will be required immediately after the upgrade
in order to replace the running kernel. Remember to read carefully
and follow the instructions given during the kernel upgrade process.
Upgrade Instructions
- --------------------
wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.
If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:
apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages
You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
