Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Several serious problems have been discovered in the Linux kernel. This update takes care of Linux 2.4.16 for the ARM architecture. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems that will be fixed with this update :

- 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-2004-0003

A vulnerability has been discovered in the R128 DRI driver in the Linux kernel which could potentially lead an attacker to gain unauthorised privileges. Alan Cox and Thomas Biege developed a correction for this.

- CAN-2004-0010

Arjan van de Ven discovered a stack-based buffer overflow in the ncp_lookup function for ncpfs in the Linux kernel, which could lead an attacker to gain unauthorised privileges. Petr Vandrovec developed a correction for this.

- CAN-2004-0109

zen-parse discovered a buffer overflow vulnerability in the ISO9660 filesystem component of Linux kernel which could be abused by an attacker to gain unauthorised root access. Sebastian Krahmer and Ernie Petrides developed a correction for this.

- CAN-2004-0177

Solar Designer discovered an information leak in the ext3 code of Linux. In a worst case a local attacker could obtain sensitive information (such as cryptographic keys in another worst case) which would otherwise never hit disk media. Theodore Ts'o developed a correction for this.

- CAN-2004-0178

Andreas Kies discovered a denial of service condition in the Sound Blaster driver in Linux. He also developed a correction for this.

These problems are also fixed by upstream in Linux 2.4.26 and will be fixed in Linux 2.6.6.

The following security matrix explains which kernel versions for which architectures are already fixed and which will be removed instead.

Architecture stable (woody) unstable (sid) source 2.4.16-1woody2 2.4.25-3 arm/patch 20040419 20040316 arm/lart 20040419 2.4.25-4 arm/netwinder 20040419 2.4.25-4 arm/riscpc 20040419 2.4.25-4

Solution

Upgrade the kernel packages immediately, either with a Debian provided kernel or with a self compiled one.

How to Run

Here is how to run the Debian DSA-495-1 : linux-kernel-2.4.16-arm - several vulnerabilities as a standalone plugin via the Nessus web user interface (https://localhost:8834/):

Click to start a New Scan.
Select Advanced Scan.
Navigate to the Plugins tab.
On the top right corner click to Disable All plugins.
On the left side table select Debian Local Security Checks plugin family.
On the right side table select Debian DSA-495-1 : linux-kernel-2.4.16-arm - several vulnerabilities plugin ID 15332.
Specify the target on the Settings tab and click to Save the scan.
Run the scan.

Here are a few examples of how to run the plugin in the command line. Note that the examples below demonstrate the usage on the Linux / Unix platform.

Basic usage:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl debian_DSA-495.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with audit trail message on the console:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -a debian_DSA-495.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with trace script execution written to the console (useful for debugging):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -T - debian_DSA-495.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with using a state file for the target and updating it (useful for running multiple plugins on the target):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -K /tmp/state debian_DSA-495.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Go back to menu.
