Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-source
References: DSA-1494-1 (http://www.debian.org/security/2008/dsa-1494) Quoting: "The vmsplice system call did not properly verify address arguments passed by user space processes, which allowed local attackers to overwrite arbitrary kernel memory, gaining root privileges (CVE-2008-0010, CVE-2008-0600). In the vserver-enabled kernels, a missing access check on certain symlinks in /proc enabled local attackers to access resources in other vservers (CVE-2008-0163)." ** Affects: linux-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Visibility changed to: Public ** CVE added: http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi- bin/cvename.cgi?name=2008-0010 ** CVE added: http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi- bin/cvename.cgi?name=2008-0163 ** CVE added: http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi- bin/cvename.cgi?name=2008-0600 -- [linux-source] missing access checks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191208 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
