paul Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 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) An issue was discovered in 2.6.32.x kernels, which sets unsecure permission for devtmpfs file system by default. (CVE-2010-0299) Additionally, it was added support for Atheros AR2427 Wireless Network Adapter.
