Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Important: kernel security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2005:529-01
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2005-529.html
Issue date: 2005-08-25
Updated on: 2005-08-25
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
CVE Names: CAN-2005-0504 CAN-2005-0749 CAN-2005-1263 CAN-2004-1056
- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Summary:
Updated kernel packages that fix a number of security issues as well as
other bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 (32 bit
architectures)
This update has been rated as having important security impact by the
Red Hat Security Response Team.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (Advanced Server) version 2.1 - i386
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 2.1 - i386
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 2.1 - i386
3. Problem description:
The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system.
This is a kernel maintenance update to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1.
The following security issues were corrected:
A flaw between execve() syscall handling and core dumping of ELF-format
executables allowed local unprivileged users to cause a denial of
service (system crash) or possibly gain privileges. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name CAN-2005-1263
to this issue.
A flaw when freeing a pointer in load_elf_library was discovered. A local
user could potentially use this flaw to cause a denial of service (crash).
(CAN-2005-0749)
The Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) driver did not properly check the DMA
lock, which could allow remote attackers or local users to cause a denial
of service (X Server crash) or possibly modify the video output.
(CAN-2004-1056)
A flaw in the moxa serial driver could allow a local user to perform
privileged operations such as replacing the firmware. (CAN-2005-0504)
The following bug fixes were also made:
- - - Fix a race condition that can cause a panic in __get_lease()
- - - Fix a race condition that can cause a panic when reading /proc/mdstat
- - - Fix incorrect ide accounting
- - - Prevent non-root users from reloading moxa driver firmware
- - - Fix a null-pointer-dereference bug in rpciod
- - - Fix legacy-usb handoff for certain IBM platforms
- - - Fix a bug that caused busy inodes after unmount
- - - Provide an additional fix for a memory leak in scsi_scan_single.
- - - Fix a potential kswapd/dquot deadlock.
- - - Fix a potential local DoS in shmemfs.
- - - Fix a random poolsize vulnerability.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 users are advised to upgrade their kernels to
the packages associated with their machine configurations as listed in this
erratum.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):
127105 - RHEL 2.1: x445 Legacy USB support workaround needed
138517 - Memory Leak in AS 2.1 and 3.0 kernels
139775 - Filesystem quota GFP_KERNEL deadlock kswapd on dqio_sem.
144389 - CAN-2004-1056 insufficient locking checks in DRM code
144534 - random poolsize sysctl handler integer overflow
146103 - CAN-2005-0504 moxa CAP_SYS_RAWIO missing
152412 - CAN-2005-0749 load_elf_library possible DoS
156636 - [IT 54907] System oopsing in __get_lease()

Issue date: 2005-08-25
Updated on: 2005-08-25
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
CVE Names: CAN-2005-0504 CAN-2005-0749 CAN-2005-1263 CAN-2005-1768 CAN-2005-1761 CAN-2004-1056

1. Summary:
Updated kernel packages are now available to correct security issues and
bugs for Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 2.1 (Itanium).
This update has been rated as having important security impact by the
Red Hat Security Response Team.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (Advanced Server) version 2.1 - ia64
Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1 - ia64
3. Problem description:
The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system.
This is a kernel maintenance update to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1.
The following security issues are corrected:
A flaw between execve() syscall handling and core dumping of ELF-format
executables allowed local unprivileged users to cause a denial of
service (system crash) or possibly gain privileges. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name CAN-2005-1263
to this issue.
A flaw in ptrace for Itanium architectures was discovered. A local user
could use this flaw to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly gain
privileges. (CAN-2005-1761)
A race condition in the ia32 compatibility code for the execve system call
was discovered. A local user could use this flaw to cause a denial of
service (kernel panic) or possibly gain privileges. (CAN-2005-1768)
A flaw when freeing a pointer in load_elf_library was discovered. A local
user could potentially use this flaw to cause a denial of service (crash).
(CAN-2005-0749)
The Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) driver did not properly check the DMA
lock, which could allow remote attackers or local users to cause a denial

(CAN-2004-1056)
A flaw in the moxa serial driver could allow a local user to perform
privileged operations such as replacing the firmware. (CAN-2005-0504)
The following bug fixes were also made:
- - - "busy inodes after unmount" error on NFS volumes
- - - Establish 64-bit limits even for 32-bit threads
- - - Fix a race condition in __get_lease
- - - Fix error in IDE disk accounting. This last fix causes IO accounting
to occur only on READ and WRITE operations. This fixes several bugs
in various accounting and statistic utilities.
- - - Fix kswapd/dquot deadlock bug
- - - Fix loop control bug in do_shmem_file_read
All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 Itanium users are advised to upgrade their
kernels to the packages associated with their machine configurations as
listed in this erratum.
