[Sid] Kernel 2.2.20 y problemas de seguridad.
Saludos colisteros,
Me ha llegado un correo de Debian-security relatando vulnerabilidades
varias en los kernels de la serie 2.2.20.
La cuestion es que yo lo tengo instalado y no domino bien el ingles por
lo cual no puedo saber bien que hacer.
El correo dice lo siguiente:
El paquete involucrado:
----------------------
Package : kernel-source-2.2.20, kernel-image-2.2.20-i386
Vulnerability : several
Problem-Type : local, remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids : CVE-2002-0429 CAN-2003-0001 CAN-2003-0127 CAN-2003-0244
CAN-2003-0246 CAN-2003-0247 CAN-2003-0248 CAN-2003-0364
Las vulnerabilidades:
---------------------
A number of vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel.
- - CVE-2002-0429: The iBCS routines in arch/i386/kernel/traps.c for
Linux kernels 2.4.18 and earlier on x86 systems allow local users to
kill arbitrary processes via a a binary compatibility interface
(lcall)
- - CAN-2003-0001: Multiple ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) device
drivers do not pad frames with null bytes, which allows remote
attackers to obtain information from previous packets or kernel
memory by using malformed packets
- - CAN-2003-0127: The kernel module loader allows local users to gain
root privileges by using ptrace to attach to a child process that is
spawned by the kernel
- - CAN-2003-0244: The route cache implementation in Linux 2.4, and the
Netfilter IP conntrack module, allows remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (CPU consumption) via packets with forged source
addresses that cause a large number of hash table collisions related
to the PREROUTING chain
- - CAN-2003-0246: The ioperm system call in Linux kernel 2.4.20 and
earlier does not properly restrict privileges, which allows local
users to gain read or write access to certain I/O ports.
- - CAN-2003-0247: vulnerability in the TTY layer of the Linux kernel
2.4 allows attackers to cause a denial of service ("kernel oops")
- - CAN-2003-0248: The mxcsr code in Linux kernel 2.4 allows attackers
to modify CPU state registers via a malformed address.
- - CAN-2003-0364: The TCP/IP fragment reassembly handling in the Linux
kernel 2.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU
consumption) via certain packets that cause a large number of hash
table collisions
¿Lo que supuestamente tenemos que hacer para solucionar el problema?
This advisory provides updated 2.2.20 kernel source, and binary kernel
images for the i386 architecture. Other architectures and kernel
versions will be covered by separate advisories.
For the stable distribution (woody) on the powerpc architecture, these
problems have been fixed in kernel-source-2.2.20 version
2.2.20-5woody2 and kernel-image-i386 version 2.2.20-5woody3.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems are fixed in
kernel-source-2.2.25 and kernel-image-2.2.25-i386 version 2.2.25-2.
We recommend that you update your kernel packages.
Yo tengo Sid instalado y por lo que entiendo la vulnerabilidad afectaria
a la version 2.2.25? o esa es la que recomienda instalar?
Bueno al que me pueda aclarar el asunto se lo agradecere.
