Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2006-0040
Package names: kernel
Summary: Multiple vulnerabilities
Date: 2006-07-07
Affected versions: Trustix Secure Linux 3.0
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package description:
kernel
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:
kernel < TSL 3.0 >
- New upstream.
- SECURITY FIX: SCTP conntrack (ip_conntrack_proto_sctp.c) in
netfilter allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(crash) via a packet without any chunks, which causes a variable
to contain an invalid value that is later used to dereference a
pointer.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2006-2934 to this issue.
Action:
We recommend that all systems with this package installed be upgraded.
