Descriptions

The ftrace implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.8.8 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability for write access to the (1) set_ftrace_pid or (2) set_graph_function file, and then making an lseek system call.

La implementacion ftrace en Linux Kernel anterior a v3.8.8 permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (referencia a puntero NULL y caída del sistema) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través del aprovechamiento de la capacidad CAP_SYS_ADMIN para el acceso de escritura a los ficheros (1) set_ftrace_pid o (2) set_graph_function y luego hacer una llamada al sistema "lseek".

Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in the Linux kernel. net/ceph/auth_none.c in the Linux kernel through 3.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via an auth_reply message that triggers an attempted build_request operation. The HP Smart Array controller disk-array driver and Compaq SMART2 controller disk-array driver in the Linux kernel through 3.9.4 do not initialize certain data structures, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a crafted IDAGETPCIINFO command for a /dev/ida device, related to the ida_locked_ioctl function in drivers/block/cpqarray.c or a crafted CCISS_PASSTHRU32 command for a /dev/cciss device, related to the cciss_ioctl32_passthru function in drivers/block/cciss.c. Various other issues have also been addressed. The updated packages provides a solution for these security issues.
