Updated kernel packages are available for Mandrakelinux
_______________________________________________________________________
Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
_______________________________________________________________________
Package name: kernel
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2004:087
Date: August 26th, 2004
Affected versions: 10.0, 9.1, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1, Multi Network Firewall 8.2
______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
A race condition was discovered in the 64bit file offset handling by Paul Starzetz from iSEC. The file offset pointer (f_pos) is changed during reading, writing, and seeking through a file in order to point to the current position of a file. The value conversion between both the 32bit and 64bit API in the kernel, as well as access to the f_pos pointer, is defective. As a result, a local attacker can abuse this vulnerability to gain access to uninitialized kernel memory, mostly via entries in the /proc filesystem. This kernel memory can possibly contain information like the root password, and other sensitive data.
The updated kernel packages provided are patched to protect against this vulnerability, and all users are encouraged to upgrade immediately.
