Description Thomas Backlund 2013-03-01 00:48:00 CET

Advisory:
This updates kernel-linus to upstream stable 3.4.34.

It also fixes the following security issues:

An unprivileged user can send a netlink message resulting in an
out-of-bounds access of the sock_diag_handlers[] array which, in turn,
allows userland to take over control while in kernel mode.
(CVE-2013-1763).

Linux kernel is prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability due
to a tmpfs use-after-free error. 
Local attackers can exploit the issue to execute arbitrary code with
kernel privileges or to crash the kernel, effectively denying service
to legitimate users (CVE-2013-1767).

Linux kernel built with Edgeport USB serial converter driver io_ti,
is vulnerable to a NULL pointer dereference flaw. It happens if the
device is disconnected while corresponding /dev/ttyUSB? file is in use.
An unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system, resulting
DoS (CVE-2013-1774).

Testing complete i586

Confirmed virtualbox dkms module is built when updating.

Everything OK after reboot.

Confirmed PoC closed.

Whiteboard: (none) => has_procedure mga2-32-ok

Comment 3 Dave Hodgins 2013-03-02 03:10:57 CET

Testing complete on Mageia 2 x86-64.

Could someone from the sysadmin team push the
kernel-linus-3.4.34-1.mga2
from Mageia 2 updates testing to updates.

See description for list of srpms and advisory.
