Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2010:034-2
http://www.mandriva.com/security/
_______________________________________________________________________
Package : kernel
Date : February 18, 2010
Affected: Enterprise Server 5.0
_______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Some vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux
2.6 kernel:
Array index error in the gdth_read_event function in
drivers/scsi/gdth.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.32-rc8 allows
local users to cause a denial of service or possibly gain privileges
via a negative event index in an IOCTL request. (CVE-2009-3080)
The collect_rx_frame function in drivers/isdn/hisax/hfc_usb.c in the
Linux kernel before 2.6.32-rc7 allows attackers to have an unspecified
impact via a crafted HDLC packet that arrives over ISDN and triggers
a buffer under-read. (CVE-2009-4005)
Additionally, the Linux kernel was updated to the stable release
2.6.27.45.
To update your kernel, please follow the directions located at:
http://www.mandriva.com/en/security/kernelupdate
Update:
The nvidia173-kernel x86_64 packages was missing with MDVSA-2010:034
for the Enterprise 5 product. This advisory provides the missing
packages.
