rPath Security Advisory: 2007-0245-1
Published: 2007-11-21
Products:
rPath Linux 1
rPath Appliance Platform Linux Service 1
Rating: Severe
Exposure Level Classification:
Remote User Deterministic Denial of Service
Updated Versions:
kernel=conary.rpath.com@rpl:1/2.6.22.13-0.2-1
kernel=rap.rpath.com@rpath:linux-1/rpl:1/2.6.22.13-1-1
Description:
Previous versions of the kernel package have several vulnerabilities
resolved in this release. The most severe is a remotely triggerable
denial of service via carefully crafted TCP ACK packets. The other
vulnerabilities are denials of service that require local system
access; one applies only when mounting minix filesystems, the other
applies to certain process-exit conditions.
A system reboot is required to resolve these vulnerabilities.
