Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2009-103 - Security vulnerabilities have been identified and fixed in udev. udev before 1.4.1 does not verify whether a NETLINK message originates from kernel space, which allows local users to gain privileges by sending a NETLINK message from user space. Buffer overflow in the util_path_encode function in udev/lib/libudev-util.c in udev before 1.4.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (service outage) via vectors that trigger a call with crafted arguments. The updated packages have been patched to prevent this.

Package : udev

Affected: 2008.1, 2009.0

Problem Description:
Security vulnerabilities have been identified and fixed in udev.
udev before 1.4.1 does not verify whether a NETLINK message originates
from kernel space, which allows local users to gain privileges by
sending a NETLINK message from user space (CVE-2009-1185).
Buffer overflow in the util_path_encode function in
udev/lib/libudev-util.c in udev before 1.4.1 allows local users to
cause a denial of service (service outage) via vectors that trigger
a call with crafted arguments (CVE-2009-1186).
The updated packages have been patched to prevent this.
