Debian Security Advisory DSA 470-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze
April 1st, 2004 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : kernel-image-2.4.17-hppa
Vulnerability : several vulnerabilities
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2003-0961 CAN-2003-0985 CAN-2004-0077

Several local root exploits have been discovered recently in the Linux
kernel. This security advisory updates the mips kernel 2.4.19 for
Debian GNU/Linux. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
identifies the following problems that are fixed with this update:

CAN-2003-0961:

   An integer overflow in brk() system call (do_brk() function) for
   Linux allows a local attacker to gain root privileges. Fixed
   upstream in Linux 2.4.23.

CAN-2003-0985:

   Paul Starzetz discovered a flaw in bounds checking in mremap() in
   the Linux kernel (present in version 2.4.x and 2.6.x) which may
   allow a local attacker to gain root privileges. Version 2.2 is not
   affected by this bug. Fixed upstream in Linux 2.4.24.

CAN-2004-0077:

   Paul Starzetz and Wojciech Purczynski of isec.pl discovered a
   critical security vulnerability in the memory management code of
   Linux inside the mremap(2) system call. Due to missing function
   return value check of internal functions a local attacker can gain
   root privileges. Fixed upstream in Linux 2.4.25 and 2.6.3.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 32.3 of kernel-image-2.4.17-hppa.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 2.4.25-1 of kernel-image-2.4.25-hppa.

We recommend that you upgrade your Linux kernel packages immediately.

Upgrade Instructions
- --------------------

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
