Several serious problems have been discovered in the Linux kernel.
This update takes care of Linux 2.4.17 and 2.4.18 for the hppa (PA-RISC) architecture. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems that will be fixed with this update :
CAN-2004-0003 A vulnerability has been discovered in the R128 DRI driver in the Linux kernel which could potentially lead an attacker to gain unauthorised privileges. Alan Cox and Thomas Biege developed a correction for this.
CAN-2004-0010
Arjan van de Ven discovered a stack-based buffer overflow in the ncp_lookup function for ncpfs in the Linux kernel, which could lead an attacker to gain unauthorised privileges. Petr Vandrovec developed a correction for this.
CAN-2004-0109
zen-parse discovered a buffer overflow vulnerability in the ISO9660 filesystem component of Linux kernel which could be abused by an attacker to gain unauthorised root access. Sebastian Krahmer and Ernie Petrides developed a correction for this.
CAN-2004-0177
Solar Designer discovered an information leak in the ext3 code of Linux. In a worst case an attacker could read sensitive data such as cryptographic keys which would otherwise never hit disk media. Theodore Ts’o developed a correction for this.
CAN-2004-0178
Andreas Kies discovered a denial of service condition in the Sound Blaster driver in Linux. He also developed a correction for this.
These problems are also fixed by upstream in Linux 2.4.26 and will be fixed in Linux 2.6.6.
