-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ______________________________________________________________________________ SUSE Security Announcement Package: kernel Announcement ID: SUSE-SA:2011:046 Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2011 17:00:00 +0000 Affected Products: SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension 11 SP1 SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 SP1 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1 Vulnerability Type: remote denial of service CVSS v2 Base Score: 5.7 (AV:A/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C) SUSE Default Package: yes Cross-References: CVE-2011-1478, CVE-2011-1576, CVE-2011-1833 CVE-2011-2203, CVE-2011-2699, CVE-2011-3188 CVE-2011-4326, CVE-2011-4330 Content of This Advisory: 1) Security Vulnerability Resolved: Linux kernel security update Problem Description 2) Solution or Work-Around 3) Special Instructions and Notes 4) Package Location and Checksums 5) Pending Vulnerabilities, Solutions, and Work-Arounds: none 6) Authenticity Verification and Additional Information ______________________________________________________________________________ 1) Problem Description and Brief Discussion The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 1 kernel was updated to 2.6.32.49 and fixes various bugs and security issues. Following security bugs were fixed: CVE-2011-3188: The TCP/IP initial sequence number generation effectively only used 24 bits of 32 to generate randomness, making a brute force man-in-the-middle attack on TCP/IP connections feasible. The generator was changed to use full 32bit randomness. CVE-2011-2699: Fernando Gont discovered that the IPv6 stack used predictable fragment identification numbers. A remote attacker could exploit this to exhaust network resources, leading to a denial of service. CVE-2011-2203: A NULL ptr dereference on mounting corrupt hfs filesystems was fixed which could be used by local attackers to crash the kernel. CVE-2011-1833: Added a kernel option to ensure ecryptfs is mounting only on paths belonging to the current ui, which would have allowed local attackers to potentially gain privileges via symlink attacks. CVE-2011-1576: The Generic Receive Offload (GRO) implementation in the Linux kernel allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted VLAN packets that are processed by the napi_reuse_skb function, leading to (1) a memory leak or (2) memory corruption, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-1478. CVE-2011-4330: A name overflow in the hfs filesystem was fixed, where mounting a corrupted hfs filesystem could lead to a stack overflow and code execution in the kernel. This requires a local attacker to be able to mount hfs filesystems. CVE-2011-4326: A bug was found in the way headroom check was performed in udp6_ufo_fragment() function. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the system.

The package and patch management stack will detect which updates are required and automatically perform the necessary steps to verify and install them. Alternatively, download the update packages for your distribution manually and verify their integrity by the methods listed in Section 6 of this announcement. Then install the packages using the command rpm -Fhv <file.rpm> to apply the update, replacing <file.rpm> with the filename of the downloaded RPM package. Our maintenance customers are notified individually. The packages are offered for installation from the maintenance web: SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension 11 SP1 http://download.novell.com/patch/finder/?keywords=d4b5f25f4db8718301e7e16715... http://download.novell.com/patch/finder/?keywords=31d452e9bdc91325cef696c4c5... http://download.novell.com/patch/finder/?keywords=f2bc63a432cbfc30adf058c055... http://download.novell.com/patch/finder/?keywords=0b7e04a54fedaae34f6309faa0... http://download.novell.com/patch/finder/?keywords=836acbf4bd9c116e2d6a3b8cc8... http://download.novell.com/patch/finder/?keywords=9b0aea51d7510d41288711e510...

The authenticity and integrity of a SUSE security announcement is guaranteed by a cryptographic signature in each announcement. All SUSE security announcements are published with a valid signature. To verify the signature of the announcement, save it as text into a file and run the command gpg --verify <file> replacing <file> with the name of the file where you saved the announcement. The output for a valid signature looks like: gpg: Signature made <DATE> using RSA key ID 3D25D3D9 gpg: Good signature from "SuSE Security Team <security@suse.de>" where <DATE> is replaced by the date the document was signed. If the security team's key is not contained in your key ring, you can import it from the first installation CD. To import the key, use the command gpg --import gpg-pubkey-3d25d3d9-36e12d04.asc - Package authenticity verification: SUSE update packages are available on many mirror FTP servers all over the world. While this service is considered valuable and important to the free and open source software community, the authenticity and the integrity of a package needs to be verified to ensure that it has not been tampered with. The internal rpm package signatures provide an easy way to verify the authenticity of an RPM package. Use the command rpm -v --checksig <file.rpm> to verify the signature of the package, replacing <file.rpm> with the filename of the RPM package downloaded. The package is unmodified if it contains a valid signature from build@suse.de with the key ID 9C800ACA. This key is automatically imported into the RPM database (on RPMv4-based distributions) and the gpg key ring of 'root' during installation. You can also find it on the first installation CD and at the end of this announcement. - SUSE runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may subscribe: opensuse-security@opensuse.org - General Linux and SUSE security discussion.
