Synopsis: Important: kernel security and bug fix update Advisory ID: SLSA-2013:1173-1 Issue Date: 2013-08-27 CVE Numbers: CVE-2012-6544 CVE-2013-2206 CVE-2013-2224 CVE-2013-2237 CVE-2013-2232 CVE-2013-2146 -- This update fixes the following security issues: * A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) implementation handled duplicate cookies. If a local user queried SCTP connection information at the same time a remote attacker has initialized a crafted SCTP connection to the system, it could trigger a NULL pointer dereference, causing the system to crash. (CVE-2013-2206, Important) * It was found that the fix for CVE-2012-3552 released via SLSA-2012:1304 introduced an invalid free flaw in the Linux kernel's TCP/IP protocol suite implementation. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to corrupt kernel memory via crafted sendmsg() calls, allowing them to cause a denial of service or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2013-2224, Important) * A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Performance Events implementation. On systems with certain Intel processors, a local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service by leveraging the perf subsystem to write into the reserved bits of the OFFCORE_RSP_0 and OFFCORE_RSP_1 model-specific registers. (CVE-2013-2146, Moderate) * An invalid pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TCP/IP protocol suite implementation. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system by using sendmsg() with an IPv6 socket connected to an IPv4 destination. (CVE-2013-2232, Moderate) * Information leak flaws in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth implementation could allow a local, unprivileged user to leak kernel memory to user- space. (CVE-2012-6544, Low) * An information leak flaw in the Linux kernel could allow a privileged, local user to leak kernel memory to user-space. (CVE-2013-2237, Low) The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect. -- SL6 x86_64 kernel-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.x86_64.rpm kernel-debug-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.x86_64.rpm kernel-debug-debuginfo-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.x86_64.rpm kernel-debug-devel-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.x86_64.rpm kernel-debuginfo-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.x86_64.rpm kernel-debuginfo-common-x86_64-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.x86_64.rpm kernel-devel-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.x86_64.rpm kernel-headers-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.x86_64.rpm perf-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.x86_64.rpm perf-debuginfo-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.x86_64.rpm python-perf-debuginfo-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.x86_64.rpm python-perf-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.x86_64.rpm i386 kernel-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.i686.rpm kernel-debug-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.i686.rpm kernel-debug-debuginfo-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.i686.rpm kernel-debug-devel-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.i686.rpm kernel-debuginfo-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.i686.rpm kernel-debuginfo-common-i686-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.i686.rpm kernel-devel-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.i686.rpm kernel-headers-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.i686.rpm perf-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.i686.rpm perf-debuginfo-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.i686.rpm python-perf-debuginfo-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.i686.rpm python-perf-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.i686.rpm noarch kernel-doc-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.noarch.rpm kernel-firmware-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.noarch.rpm - Scientific Linux Development Team
