Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis: Moderate: kernel security and bugfix update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2007:0671-01
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2007-0671.html
Issue date: 2007-08-16
Updated on: 2007-08-16
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Keywords: taroon kernel security errata
Obsoletes: RHSA-2007:0436
CVE Names: CVE-2007-1217 CVE-2007-1353
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Summary:

Updated kernel packages that fix several security issues and bugs in the
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 kernel are now available.

This security advisory has been rated as having moderate security impact
by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Desktop version 3 - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64

3. Problem description:

The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system.

These new kernel packages contain fixes for the security issues described
below:

* a flaw in the ISDN CAPI subsystem that allowed a remote user to cause a
denial of service or potential privilege escalation. (CVE-2007-1217, Moderate)

* a flaw in the Bluetooth subsystem that allowed a local user to trigger an
information leak. (CVE-2007-1353, Low)

In addition to the security issues described above, fixes for the following
have been included:

* a race condition in the e1000 network driver that could cause ESB2
systems to be started without the RX unit being turned on.

* a related e1000 bug on ESB2 systems that could cause rlogin to fail.

Red Hat would like to thank Ilja van Sprundel for reporting an issue fixed
in this erratum.

Note: The kernel-unsupported package contains various drivers and modules
that are unsupported and therefore might contain security problems that
have not been addressed.

All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 users are advised to upgrade their kernels
to the packages associated with their machine architecture and
configurations as listed in this erratum.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
