Synopsis:	Important: kernel security and bug fix update
Issue date:	2011-01-18
CVE Names:	CVE-2010-3859 CVE-2010-3876 CVE-2010-4072
                   CVE-2010-4073 CVE-2010-4075 CVE-2010-4080
                   CVE-2010-4083 CVE-2010-4157 CVE-2010-4158
                   CVE-2010-4242 CVE-2010-4249

This update fixes the following security issues:

* A heap overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Transparent
Inter-Process Communication protocol (TIPC) implementation. A local,
unprivileged user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges.
(CVE-2010-3859, Important)

* Missing sanity checks were found in gdth_ioctl_alloc() in the gdth 
driver in the Linux kernel. A local user with access to "/dev/gdth" on a 
64-bit system could use these flaws to cause a denial of service or 
escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-4157, Moderate)

* A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Bluetooth HCI UART
driver in the Linux kernel. A local, unprivileged user could use this 
flaw to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4242, Moderate)

* A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's garbage collector for AF_UNIX
sockets. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to trigger a
denial of service (out-of-memory condition). (CVE-2010-4249, Moderate)

* Missing initialization flaws were found in the Linux kernel. A local,
unprivileged user could use these flaws to cause information leaks.
(CVE-2010-3876, CVE-2010-4072, CVE-2010-4073, CVE-2010-4075, 
CVE-2010-4080, CVE-2010-4083, CVE-2010-4158, Low)


This update also fixes the following bugs:

* A flaw was found in the Linux kernel where, if used in conjunction 
with another flaw that can result in a kernel Oops, could possibly lead 
to privilege escalation. It does not affect Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 
as the sysctl panic_on_oops variable is turned on by default. However, 
as a preventive measure if the variable is turned off by an 
administrator, this update addresses the issue. (BZ#659568)

* On Intel I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) hardware, jumbo frame support is
achieved by using page-based sk_buff buffers without any packet split. 
The entire frame data is copied to the page(s) rather than some to the
skb->data area and some to the page(s) when performing a typical
packet-split. This caused problems with the filtering code and frames 
were getting dropped before they were received by listening 
applications. This bug could eventually lead to the IP address being 
released and not being able to be re-acquired from DHCP if the MTU 
(Maximum Transfer Unit) was changed (for an affected interface using the 
e1000e driver). With this update, frames are no longer dropped and an IP 
address is correctly re-acquired after a previous release. (BZ#664667)

The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.
