RHSA-2007:0672 - Security Advisory

  • Overview

Synopsis

Important: kernel security update

Type/Severity

Security Advisory: Important

Topic

Updated kernel packages that fix a number of security issues are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 (32-bit architectures).

This security advisory has been rated as having important security impact by
the Red Hat Security Response Team.

Description

The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system.

These new kernel packages contain fixes for the security issues described
below:

  • a flaw in IPv6 flow label handling that allowed a local user to cause a

denial of service (crash). (CVE-2007-1592, Important)

  • a flaw in the ISDN CAPI subsystem that allowed a remote user to cause a

denial of service or potential privilege escalation. (CVE-2007-1217, Moderate)

  • a flaw in the Bluetooth subsystem that allowed a local user to trigger an

information leak. (CVE-2007-1353, Low)

  • various flaws in the supported filesystems that allowed a local

privileged user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-6054, CVE-2006-6058,
Low)

Red Hat would like to thank Ilja van Sprundel for reporting an issue fixed
in this erratum.

All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 users are advised to upgrade their kernels
to these updated packages, which contain backported fixes to correct these
issues.
