The copy_from_user function in the uaccess code in Linux kernel 2.6 before 2.6.19-rc1, when running on s390, does not properly clear a kernel buffer, which allows local user space programs to read portions of kernel memory by "appending to a file from a bad address," which triggers a fault that prevents the unused memory from being cleared in the kernel buffer.

From Red Hat Security Advisory 2007:0014 :

Updated kernel packages that fix several security issues in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 kernel are now available.

This security advisory has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system.

These new kernel packages contain fixes for the security issues described below :

* a flaw in the get_fdb_entries function of the network bridging support that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (crash) or allow a potential privilege escalation (CVE-2006-5751, Important)

* an information leak in the _block_prepare_write function that allowed a local user to read kernel memory (CVE-2006-4813, Important)

* an information leak in the copy_from_user() implementation on s390 and s390x platforms that allowed a local user to read kernel memory (CVE-2006-5174, Important)

* a flaw in the handling of /proc/net/ip6_flowlabel that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) (CVE-2006-5619, Important)

* a flaw in the AIO handling that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (panic) (CVE-2006-5754, Important)

* a race condition in the mincore system core that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (system hang) (CVE-2006-4814, Moderate)

* a flaw in the ELF handling on ia64 and sparc architectures which triggered a cross-region memory mapping and allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (CVE-2006-4538, Moderate)

* a flaw in the dev_queue_xmit function of the network subsystem that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (data corruption) (CVE-2006-6535, Moderate)

* a flaw in the handling of CAPI messages over Bluetooth that allowed a remote system to cause a denial of service or potential code execution. This flaw is only exploitable if a privileged user establishes a connection to a malicious remote device (CVE-2006-6106, Moderate)

* a flaw in the listxattr system call that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (data corruption) or potential privilege escalation. To successfully exploit this flaw the existence of a bad inode is required first (CVE-2006-5753, Moderate)

* a flaw in the __find_get_block_slow function that allowed a local privileged user to cause a denial of service (CVE-2006-5757, Low)

* various flaws in the supported filesystems that allowed a local privileged user to cause a denial of service (CVE-2006-5823, CVE-2006-6053, CVE-2006-6054, CVE-2006-6056, Low)

In addition to the security issues described above, fixes for the following bugs were included :

* initialization error of the tg3 driver with some BCM5703x network card

* a memory leak in the audit subsystem

* x86_64 nmi watchdog timeout is too short

* ext2/3 directory reads fail intermittently

Red Hat would like to thank Dmitriy Monakhov and Kostantin Khorenko for reporting issues fixed in this erratum.

All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 users are advised to upgrade their kernels to the packages associated with their machine architecture and configurations as listed in this erratum.

From Red Hat Security Advisory 2006:0710 :

Updated kernel packages that fix several security issues in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 kernel are now available.

This security advisory has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system.

These new kernel packages contain fixes for the security issues described below :

* a flaw in the IPC shared-memory implementation that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (deadlock) that resulted in freezing the system (CVE-2006-4342, Important)

* an information leak in the copy_from_user() implementation on s390 and s390x platforms that allowed a local user to read arbitrary kernel memory (CVE-2006-5174, Important)

* a flaw in the ATM subsystem affecting systems with installed ATM hardware and configured ATM support that allowed a remote user to cause a denial of service (panic) by accessing socket buffer memory after it has been freed (CVE-2006-4997, Moderate)

* a directory traversal vulnerability in smbfs that allowed a local user to escape chroot restrictions for an SMB-mounted filesystem via '..\\' sequences (CVE-2006-1864, Moderate)

* a flaw in the mprotect system call that allowed enabling write permission for a read-only attachment of shared memory (CVE-2006-2071, Moderate)

* a flaw in the DVD handling of the CDROM driver that could be used together with a custom built USB device to gain root privileges (CVE-2006-2935, Moderate)

In addition to the security issues described above, a bug fix for a clock skew problem (which could lead to unintended keyboard repeat under X11) was also included. The problem only occurred when running the 32-bit x86 kernel on 64-bit dual-core x86_64 hardware.

Note: The kernel-unsupported package contains various drivers and modules that are unsupported and therefore might contain security problems that have not been addressed.

All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 users are advised to upgrade their kernels to the packages associated with their machine architecture and configurations as listed in this erratum.

Additionaly this kernel catches up to the SLE 10 state of the kernel, with massive additional fixes.

Several local and remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2005-4093     Olof Johansson reported a local DoS (Denial of Service)     vulnerability on the PPC970 platform. Unprivileged users     can hang the system by executing the 'attn' instruction,     which was not being disabled at boot.

  - CVE-2006-4538     Kirill Korotaev reported a local DoS (Denial of Service)     vulnerability on the ia64 and sparc architectures. A     user could cause the system to crash by executing a     malformed ELF binary due to insufficient verification of     the memory layout.

  - CVE-2006-4997     ADLab Venustech Info Ltd reported a potential remote DoS     (Denial of Service) vulnerability in the IP over ATM     subsystem. A remote system could cause the system to     crash by sending specially crafted packets that would     trigger an attempt to free an already-freed pointer     resulting in a system crash.

  - CVE-2006-5174     Martin Schwidefsky reported a potential leak of     sensitive information on s390 systems. The     copy_from_user function did not clear the remaining     bytes of the kernel buffer after receiving a fault on     the userspace address, resulting in a leak of     uninitialized kernel memory. A local user could exploit     this by appending to a file from a bad address.

  - CVE-2006-5649     Fabio Massimo Di Nitto reported a potential remote DoS     (Denial of Service) vulnerability on powerpc systems.
    The alignment exception only checked the exception table     for -EFAULT, not for other errors. This can be exploited     by a local user to cause a system crash (panic).

  - CVE-2006-5871     Bill Allombert reported that various mount options are     ignored by smbfs when UNIX extensions are enabled. This     includes the uid, gid and mode options. Client systems     would silently use the server-provided settings instead     of honoring these options, changing the security model.
    This update includes a fix from Haroldo Gamal that     forces the kernel to honor these mount options. Note     that, since the current versions of smbmount always pass     values for these options to the kernel, it is not     currently possible to activate unix extensions by     omitting mount options. However, this behavior is     currently consistent with the current behavior of the     next Debian release, 'etch'.

* a flaw in the IPC shared-memory implementation that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (deadlock) that resulted in freezing the system (CVE-2006-4342, Important)

* an information leak in the copy_from_user() implementation on s390 and s390x platforms that allowed a local user to read arbitrary kernel memory (CVE-2006-5174, Important)

* a flaw in the ATM subsystem affecting systems with installed ATM hardware and configured ATM support that allowed a remote user to cause a denial of service (panic) by accessing socket buffer memory after it has been freed (CVE-2006-4997, Moderate)

* a directory traversal vulnerability in smbfs that allowed a local user to escape chroot restrictions for an SMB-mounted filesystem via '..\\' sequences (CVE-2006-1864, Moderate)

* a flaw in the mprotect system call that allowed enabling write permission for a read-only attachment of shared memory (CVE-2006-2071, Moderate)

* a flaw in the DVD handling of the CDROM driver that could be used together with a custom built USB device to gain root privileges (CVE-2006-2935, Moderate)

In addition to the security issues described above, a bug fix for a clock skew problem (which could lead to unintended keyboard repeat under X11) was also included. The problem only occurred when running the 32-bit x86 kernel on 64-bit dual-core x86_64 hardware.

Note: The kernel-unsupported package contains various drivers and modules that are unsupported and therefore might contain security problems that have not been addressed.

All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 users are advised to upgrade their kernels to the packages associated with their machine architecture and configurations as listed in this erratum.
