aru Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 MandrakeSoft Security Advisory MDKSA-2003:066 : kernel June 11th, 2003 Updated kernel packages fix multiple vulnerabilities Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered and fixed in the Linux kernel. * CAN-2003-0001: Multiple ethernet network card drivers do not pad frames with null bytes which allows remote attackers to obtain information from previous packets or kernel memory by using special malformed packets. * CAN-2003-0244: The route cache implementation in the 2.4 kernel and the Netfilter IP conntrack module allows remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via CPU consumption due to packets with forged source addresses that cause a large number of hash table collisions related to the PREROUTING chain. * CAN-2003-0246: The ioperm implementation in 2.4.20 and earlier kernels does not properly restrict privileges, which allows local users to gain read or write access to certain I/O ports. * CAN-2003-0247: A vulnerability in the TTY layer of the 2.4 kernel allows attackers to cause a kernel oops resulting in a DoS. * CAN-2003-0248: The mxcsr code in the 2.4 kernel allows attackers to modify CPU state registers via a malformed address. As well, a number of bug fixes were made in the 9.1 kernel including: * Support for more machines that did not work with APIC * Audigy2 support * New/updated modules: prims25, adiusbadsl, thinkpad, ieee1394, orinoco, via-rhine, * Fixed SiS IOAPIC * IRQ balancing has been fixed for SMP * Updates to ext3 * The previous ptrace fix has been redone to work better MandrakeSoft encourages all users to upgrade to these new kernels. Updated kernels will be available shortly for other supported platforms and architectures. The released versions of Mandrake GNU/Linux affected are: Full information about this advisory, including the updated packages, is available at: www.mandrakesecure.net/en/advisories/advisory.php?name=MDKSA-2003:066 Other references: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?n...e=CAN-2003-0001 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?n...e=CAN-2003-0244 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?n...e=CAN-2003-0246 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?n...e=CAN-2003-0247 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?n...e=CAN-2003-0248 Posted automatically by aru (mdksec2mub v0.0.6) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 And checksig says it is NOT ok; missing keys. What gives? Well I'd say you found it so I'll not answer the first one. :-) As for missing keys. Do you have the mandrake keys on your pgp keyring? And if so do you trust them?
