Synopsis: Important: kernel security and bug fix update Advisory ID: SLSA-2014:0475-1 Issue Date: 2014-05-07 CVE Numbers: CVE-2013-6383 CVE-2014-0077 CVE-2014-2523 -- * A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's netfilter connection tracking implementation for Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) packets used the skb_header_pointer() function. A remote attacker could use this flaw to send a specially crafted DCCP packet to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2014-2523, Important) * A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Adaptec RAID controller (aacraid) checked permissions of compat IOCTLs. A local attacker could use this flaw to bypass intended security restrictions. (CVE-2013-6383, Moderate) * A flaw was found in the way the handle_rx() function handled large network packets when mergeable buffers were disabled. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to crash the host or corrupt QEMU process memory on the host, which could potentially result in arbitrary code execution on the host with the privileges of the QEMU process. (CVE-2014-0077, Moderate) The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect. -- SL6 x86_64 kernel-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.x86_64.rpm kernel-debug-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.x86_64.rpm kernel-debug-debuginfo-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.x86_64.rpm kernel-debug-devel-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.x86_64.rpm kernel-debuginfo-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.x86_64.rpm kernel-debuginfo-common-x86_64-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.x86_64.rpm kernel-devel-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.x86_64.rpm kernel-headers-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.x86_64.rpm perf-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.x86_64.rpm perf-debuginfo-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.x86_64.rpm python-perf-debuginfo-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.x86_64.rpm python-perf-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.x86_64.rpm i386 kernel-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.i686.rpm kernel-debug-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.i686.rpm kernel-debug-debuginfo-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.i686.rpm kernel-debug-devel-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.i686.rpm kernel-debuginfo-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.i686.rpm kernel-debuginfo-common-i686-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.i686.rpm kernel-devel-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.i686.rpm kernel-headers-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.i686.rpm perf-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.i686.rpm perf-debuginfo-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.i686.rpm python-perf-debuginfo-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.i686.rpm python-perf-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.i686.rpm noarch kernel-abi-whitelists-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.noarch.rpm kernel-doc-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.noarch.rpm kernel-firmware-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.noarch.rpm - Scientific Linux Development Team
