 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDVSA-2008:174
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package : kernel
 Date    : August 19, 2008
 Affected: Corporate 4.0
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 Some vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux
 2.6 kernel:
 
 Linux kernel before 2.6.22.17, when using certain drivers that register
 a fault handler that does not perform range checks, allows local users
 to access kernel memory via an out-of-range offset. (CVE-2008-0007)
 
 The asn1 implementation in (a) the Linux kernel 2.4 before 2.4.36.6 and
 2.6 before 2.6.25.5, as used in the cifs and ip_nat_snmp_basic modules;
 and (b) the gxsnmp package; does not properly validate length values
 during decoding of ASN.1 BER data, which allows remote attackers
 to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via
 (1) a length greater than the working buffer, which can lead to an
 unspecified overflow; (2) an oid length of zero, which can lead to
 an off-by-one error; or (3) an indefinite length for a primitive
 encoding. (CVE-2008-1673)
 
 Linux kernel 2.6.18, and possibly other versions, when running on
 AMD64 architectures, allows local users to cause a denial of service
 (crash) via certain ptrace calls. (CVE-2008-1615)
 
 Memory leak in the ipip6_rcv function in net/ipv6/sit.c in the
 Linux kernel before 2.6.25.3 allows remote attackers to cause a
 denial of service (memory consumption) via network traffic to a
 Simple Internet Transition (SIT) tunnel interface, related to the
 pskb_may_pull and kfree_skb functions, and management of an skb
 reference count. (CVE-2008-2136)
 
 Integer overflow in the sctp_getsockopt_local_addrs_old function in
 net/sctp/socket.c in the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (sctp)
 functionality in the Linux kernel before 2.6.25.9 allows local users
 to cause a denial of service (resource consumption and system outage)
 via vectors involving a large addr_num field in an sctp_getaddrs_old
 data structure. (CVE-2008-2826)
 
 arch/x86_64/lib/copy_user.S in the Linux kernel before 2.6.19 on
 some AMD64 systems does not erase destination memory locations after
 an exception during kernel memory copy, which allows local users to
 obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2008-2729)
