Category:	Fedora Local Security Checks
Title:	Fedora Core 2 FEDORA-2005-014 (kernel)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to kernel announced via advisory FEDORA-2005-014. The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of any Linux operating system. The kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system: memory allocation, process allocation, device input and output, etc. This update rebases the kernel to match the upstream 2.6.10 release, and adds a number of security fixes by means of adding the latest -ac patch. CVE-2004-1235 Paul Starzetz from isec.pl found a problem in the binary format loaders uselib() function that could lead to potential priveledge escalation. http://isec.pl/vulnerabilities/isec-0021-uselib.txt NO-CAN-ASSIGNED Brad Spengler found several problems. - An integer overflow in the random poolsize sysctl handler. - SCSI ioctl integer overflow and information leak. - RLIMIT_MEMLOCK bypass and unprivileged user DoS. NO-CAN-ASSIGNED Coverity Inc. found a number of bugs with their automated source checker in coda, xfs, network bridging, rose network protocol, and the sdla wan driver. http://linuxbugs.coverity.com This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/2/ 2567737b275271fdfe07a945bfcf589c SRPMS/kernel-2.6.10-1.8_FC2.src.rpm ba0e3dd4951b16604367c6b89ed28259 x86_64/kernel-2.6.10-1.8_FC2.x86_64.rpm f65bd59399f26e0acfe9959778b7e5c1 x86_64/kernel-smp-2.6.10-1.8_FC2.x86_64.rpm 05938f7dd41af2f123c3708875799b92 x86_64/debug/kernel-debuginfo-2.6.10-1.8_FC2.x86_64.rpm d7483c386856100b92e7b74815fd440c x86_64/kernel-sourcecode-2.6.10-1.8_FC2.noarch.rpm 2a11a413fde60aa1e56629f1475b732c x86_64/kernel-doc-2.6.10-1.8_FC2.noarch.rpm e27242948960d9599769d71fec2a3456 i386/kernel-2.6.10-1.8_FC2.i586.rpm c27dedd762701392a71d26fc682d9e32 i386/kernel-smp-2.6.10-1.8_FC2.i586.rpm 05645feaa5c84a21fd7a795e7d5afd2c i386/debug/kernel-debuginfo-2.6.10-1.8_FC2.i586.rpm ac41f896f312dfd23654ed073e91f090 i386/kernel-2.6.10-1.8_FC2.i686.rpm ee41150aeab7e2242245dfd49e22138e i386/kernel-smp-2.6.10-1.8_FC2.i686.rpm e731c190eba0e65a1ba401ec9d8db14e i386/debug/kernel-debuginfo-2.6.10-1.8_FC2.i686.rpm d7483c386856100b92e7b74815fd440c i386/kernel-sourcecode-2.6.10-1.8_FC2.noarch.rpm 2a11a413fde60aa1e56629f1475b732c i386/kernel-doc-2.6.10-1.8_FC2.noarch.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command.
