Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
_______________________________________________________________________
Package name: kernel
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2003:110
Date: December 1st, 2003
Affected versions: 9.0, 9.1, Corporate Server 2.1,
Multi Network Firewall 8.2
______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
A vulnerability was discovered in the Linux kernel versions 2.4.22 and
previous. A flaw in bounds checking in the do_brk() function can
allow a local attacker to gain root privileges. This vulnerability is
known to be exploitable; an exploit is in the wild at this time.
The Mandrake Linux 9.2 kernels are not vulnerable to this problem as
the fix for it is already present in those kernels.
MandrakeSoft encourages all users to upgrade their systems immediately.
