- Updated kernel packages that fix a security vulnerability which may allow
- local users to gain root privileges are now available.
-
- [Updated 5 March 2004]
- Added kernel-headers packages
-
- The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating
- system.
-
- Paul Starzetz discovered a flaw in return value checking in mremap() in the
- Linux kernel versions 2.4.24 and previous that may allow a local attacker
- to gain root privileges. No exploit is currently available; however this
- issue is exploitable. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
- (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0077 to this issue.
-
- Arjan van de Ven discovered a flaw in ncp_lookup() in ncpfs that could
- allow local privilege escalation. ncpfs is only used to allow a system to
- mount volumes of NetWare servers or print to NetWare printers. The Common
- Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
- CAN-2004-0010 to this issue.
-
- All users are advised to upgrade to these errata packages, which contain
- backported security patches that correct these issues.
-
- Red Hat would like to thank Paul Starzetz from ISEC for reporting this
- issue CAN-2004-0077.
