                Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________

Package name:           kernel
Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2003:074
Date:                   July 15th, 2003

Affected versions:	8.2, 9.0, Corporate Server 2.1,
			Multi Network Firewall 8.2
________________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered and fixed in the Linux kernel.
 
 * CAN-2003-0001: Multiple ethernet network card drivers do not pad
   frames with null bytes which allows remote attackers to obtain
   information from previous packets or kernel memory by using
   special malformed packets.
 
 * CAN-2003-0244: The route cache implementation in the 2.4 kernel and
   the Netfilter IP conntrack module allows remote attackers to cause a
   Denial of Service (DoS) via CPU consumption due to packets with
   forged source addresses that cause a large number of hash table
   collisions related to the PREROUTING chain.
 
 * CAN-2003-0246: The ioperm implementation in 2.4.20 and earlier
   kernels does not properly restrict privileges, which allows local
   users to gain read or write access to certain I/O ports.
 
 * CAN-2003-0247: A vulnerability in the TTY layer of the 2.4 kernel
   allows attackers to cause a kernel oops resulting in a DoS.
 
 * CAN-2003-0248: The mxcsr code in the 2.4 kernel allows attackers to
   modify CPU state registers via a malformed address.
 
 * CAN-2003-0462: A file read race existed in the execve() system call.
 
 Kernels for 9.1/x86 are also available (see MDKSA-2003:066).
 
 MandrakeSoft encourages all users to upgrade to these new kernels.
