[ MDVSA-2009:118 ] kernel

 Problem Description:

 Some vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux
 2.6 kernel:
 
 The clone system call in the Linux kernel 2.6.28 and earlier allows
 local users to send arbitrary signals to a parent process from an
 unprivileged child process by launching an additional child process
 with the CLONE_PARENT flag, and then letting this new process
 exit. (CVE-2009-0028)

[ MDVSA-2009:289 ] kernel

 Problem Description:

 Some vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux
 2.6 kernel:
 
 The personality subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.31-rc3 has a
 PER_CLEAR_ON_SETID setting that does not clear the ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT
 and MMAP_PAGE_ZERO flags when executing a setuid or setgid program,
 which makes it easier for local users to leverage the details of
 memory usage to (1) conduct NULL pointer dereference attacks, (2)
 bypass the mmap_min_addr protection mechanism, or (3) defeat address

===[ DESCRIPTION ]======================================================

On x86_64 platform the Linux kernel supports compatibility emulation for
IA32 userland applications providing 32-bit system calls amongst other
32-bit resources.

As a result of arch/x86_64/ia32/ia32entry.S code optimization invalid
opcodes was used in the low level assembler routines providing

 Some vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux
 2.6 kernel:
 
 Array index error in the gdth_read_event function in
 drivers/scsi/gdth.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.32-rc8 allows
 local users to cause a denial of service or possibly gain privileges
 via a negative event index in an IOCTL request. (CVE-2009-3080)
 
 The collect_rx_frame function in drivers/isdn/hisax/hfc_usb.c in the
 Linux kernel before 2.6.32-rc7 allows attackers to have an unspecified

Thomas Pollet discovered that the RDS network protocol did not check
certain iovec buffers. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the
system or possibly execute arbitrary code as the root user. (CVE-2010-3865)

Vasiliy Kulikov discovered that the Linux kernel X.25 implementation did
not correctly clear kernel memory. A local attacker could exploit this to
read kernel stack memory, leading to a loss of privacy. (CVE-2010-3875)

Vasiliy Kulikov discovered that the Linux kernel sockets implementation did
not properly initialize certain structures. A local attacker could exploit

* Affected product: Linux Kernel 2.4 and 2.6
* Impact: - privilege Escalation

[ MDVSA-2008:224-1 ] kernel

 Some vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux
 2.6 kernel:
 
 The error-reporting functionality in (1) fs/ext2/dir.c, (2)
 fs/ext3/dir.c, and possibly (3) fs/ext4/dir.c in the Linux kernel
 2.6.26.5 does not limit the number of printk console messages that
 report directory corruption, which allows physically proximate
 attackers to cause a denial of service (temporary system hang) by
 mounting a filesystem that has corrupted dir->i_size and dir->i_blocks
 values and performing (a) read or (b) write operations. NOTE:

 A vulnerability was discovered and corrected in the Linux 2.6 kernel:
 
 The compat_alloc_user_space functions in include/asm/compat.h files

VMware Emulation Flaw x64 Guest Privilege Escalation (1/2)

By exploiting the VMware flaw described in this document, user-mode
code executing in a virtual machine may gain kernel privileges within
the virtual machine, dependent upon the guest operating system.  The
flaw has been proven exploitable on x64 versions of Windows, and it
has produced potentially exploitable crashes on x64 versions of *BSD.
The Linux kernel does not allow exploitation of the flaws on x64
versions of Linux.


VULNERABILITY DETAILS

 Some vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux
 2.6 kernel:
 
 Buffer overflow in the hfsplus_find_cat function in
 fs/hfsplus/catalog.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28-rc1 allows
 attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or
 system crash) via an hfsplus filesystem image with an invalid
 catalog namelength field, related to the hfsplus_cat_build_key_uni
 function. (CVE-2008-4933)

Please don't inundate me with e-mail because none of you bothered to read the exploit header.

The exploit so far has a 100% success rate on the systems it was designed to work on.
