1) Problem Description and Brief Discussion

The openSUSE 11.3 kernel was updated to fix various bugs and security
issues.

Following security issues have been fixed:
CVE-2010-4347: A local user could inject ACPI code into the kernel
via the world-writable "custom_debug" file, allowing local privilege
escalation.

CVE-2010-4258: A local attacker could use a Oops (kernel crash) caused
by other flaws to write a 0 byte to a attacker controlled address
in the kernel. This could lead to privilege escalation together with
other issues.

CVE-2010-4157: A 32bit vs 64bit integer mismatch in gdth_ioctl_alloc
could lead to memory corruption in the GDTH driver.

CVE-2010-4165: The do_tcp_setsockopt function in net/ipv4/tcp.c
in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict TCP_MAXSEG (aka MSS)
values, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS)
via a setsockopt call that specifies a small value, leading to a
divide-by-zero error or incorrect use of a signed integer.

CVE-2010-4164: A remote (or local) attacker communicating over X.25
could cause a kernel panic by attempting to negotiate malformed
facilities.

CVE-2010-4175: A local attacker could cause memory overruns in the
RDS protocol stack, potentially crashing the kernel. So far it is
considered not to be exploitable.

CVE-2010-4169: Use-after-free vulnerability in mm/mprotect.c in the
Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service via
vectors involving an mprotect system call.

CVE-2010-3874: A minor heap overflow in the CAN network module
was fixed. Due to nature of the memory allocator it is likely not
exploitable.

CVE-2010-4158: A memory information leak in Berkeley packet filter
rules allowed local attackers to read uninitialized memory of the
kernel stack.

CVE-2010-4162: A local denial of service in the blockdevice layer
was fixed.

CVE-2010-4163: By submitting certain I/O requests with 0 length,
a local user could have caused a kernel panic.

CVE-2010-0435: The Hypervisor in KVM 83, when the Intel VT-x extension
is enabled, allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service
(NULL pointer dereference and host OS crash) via vectors related to
instruction emulation.

CVE-2010-3861: The ethtool_get_rxnfc function in net/core/ethtool.c
in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain block of heap memory,
which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information
via an ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL ethtool command with a large info.rule_cnt
value.

CVE-2010-3442: Multiple integer overflows in the snd_ctl_new function
in sound/core/control.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to
cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) or possibly have
unspecified other impact via a crafted (1) SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_ELEM_ADD or
(2) SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_ELEM_REPLACE ioctl call.

CVE-2010-3437: A range checking overflow in pktcdvd ioctl was fixed.

CVE-2010-4078: The sisfb_ioctl function in drivers/video/sis/sis_main.c
in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize a certain structure
member, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive
information from kernel stack memory via an FBIOGET_VBLANK ioctl call.

CVE-2010-4080: The snd_hdsp_hwdep_ioctl function in
sound/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize
a certain structure, which allowed local users to obtain
potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via an
SNDRV_HDSP_IOCTL_GET_CONFIG_INFO ioctl call.

CVE-2010-4081: The snd_hdspm_hwdep_ioctl function in
sound/pci/rme9652/hdspm.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize
a certain structure, which allowed local users to obtain
potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via an
SNDRV_HDSPM_IOCTL_GET_CONFIG_INFO ioctl call.

CVE-2010-4082: The viafb_ioctl_get_viafb_info function in
drivers/video/via/ioctl.c in the Linux kernel did not properly
initialize a certain structure member, which allowed local users to
obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory
via a VIAFB_GET_INFO ioctl call.

CVE-2010-4073: The ipc subsystem in the Linux kernel did not
initialize certain structures, which allowed local users to obtain
potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via
vectors related to the (1) compat_sys_semctl, (2) compat_sys_msgctl,
and (3) compat_sys_shmctl functions in ipc/compat.c; and the (4)
compat_sys_mq_open and (5) compat_sys_mq_getsetattr functions in
ipc/compat_mq.c.

CVE-2010-4072: The copy_shmid_to_user function in ipc/shm.c in the
Linux kernel did not initialize a certain structure, which allowed
local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel
stack memory via vectors related to the shmctl system call and the
"old shm interface."

CVE-2010-4083: The copy_semid_to_user function in ipc/sem.c in the
Linux kernel did not initialize a certain structure, which allowed
local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel
stack memory via a (1) IPC_INFO, (2) SEM_INFO, (3) IPC_STAT, or (4)
SEM_STAT command in a semctl system call.

CVE-2010-3432: The sctp_packet_config function in net/sctp/output.c
in the Linux kernel performed extraneous initializations of packet
data structures, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (panic) via a certain sequence of SCTP traffic.

CVE-2010-3067: Integer overflow in the do_io_submit function in
fs/aio.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial
of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted use
of the io_submit system call.

CVE-2010-3865: A iovec integer overflow in RDS sockets was fixed
which could lead to local attackers gaining kernel privileges.

2) Solution or Work-Around

There is no known workaround, please install the update packages.

3) Special Instructions and Notes

Please reboot the machine after installing the update.

4) Package Location and Checksums

The preferred method for installing security updates is to use the YaST
"Online Update" module or the "zypper" commandline tool. The package and
patch management stack will detect which updates are required and
automatically perform the necessary steps to verify and install them.

Alternatively, download the update packages for your distribution manually
and verify their integrity by the methods listed in Section 6 of this
announcement. Then install the packages using the command

rpm -Fhv

to apply the update, replacing with the filename of the
downloaded RPM package.

6) Authenticity Verification and Additional Information

- Announcement authenticity verification:

SUSE security announcements are published via mailing lists and on Web
sites. The authenticity and integrity of a SUSE security announcement is
guaranteed by a cryptographic signature in each announcement. All SUSE
security announcements are published with a valid signature.

To verify the signature of the announcement, save it as text into a file
and run the command

gpg --verify

replacing with the name of the file where you saved the
announcement. The output for a valid signature looks like:

gpg: Signature made using RSA key ID 3D25D3D9
gpg: Good signature from "SuSE Security Team "

where is replaced by the date the document was signed.

If the security team's key is not contained in your key ring, you can
import it from the first installation CD. To import the key, use the
command

gpg --import gpg-pubkey-3d25d3d9-36e12d04.asc

- Package authenticity verification:

SUSE update packages are available on many mirror FTP servers all over the
world. While this service is considered valuable and important to the free
and open source software community, the authenticity and the integrity of
a package needs to be verified to ensure that it has not been tampered
with.

The internal rpm package signatures provide an easy way to verify the
authenticity of an RPM package. Use the command

rpm -v --checksig

to verify the signature of the package, replacing with the
filename of the RPM package downloaded. The package is unmodified if it
contains a valid signature from build-at-suse.de with the key ID 9C800ACA.

This key is automatically imported into the RPM database (on
RPMv4-based distributions) and the gpg key ring of 'root' during
installation. You can also find it on the first installation CD and at
the end of this announcement.

- SUSE runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may
subscribe:

opensuse-security-at-opensuse.org
- General Linux and SUSE security discussion.
All SUSE security announcements are sent to this list.
To subscribe, send an e-mail to
.

opensuse-security-announce-at-opensuse.org
- SUSE's announce-only mailing list.
Only SUSE's security announcements are sent to this list.
To subscribe, send an e-mail to
