Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2007.002

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory – Some vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux 2.6 kernel. The Linux kernel does not properly save or restore EFLAGS during a context switch, or reset the flags when creating new threads, which could allow a local user to cause a Denial of Service (process crash). The seqfile handling in the 2.6 kernel up to 2.6.18 allows local users to cause a DoS (hang or oops) via unspecified manipulations that trigger an infinite loop while searching for flowlabels. An integer overflow in the 2.6 kernel prior to 2.6.18.4 could allow a local user to execute arbitrary code via a large maxnum value in an ioctl request. A race condition in the ISO9660 filesystem handling could allow a local user to cause a DoS (infinite loop) by mounting a crafted ISO9660 filesystem containing malformed data structures. A vulnerability in the bluetooth support could allow for overwriting internal CMTP and CAPI data structures via malformed packets.
