Linux kernel multiple security vulnerabilities
Published:21.01.2012
Source:BUGTRAQ
SecurityVulns ID:12151
Type:remote
Level:6/10
Description:DoS conditions, information leaks, privilege escalation.
Affected:LINUX : kernel 2.6
CVE:CVE-2011-4914
 CVE-2011-4622 (The create_pit_timer function in arch/x86/kvm/i8254.c in KVM 83, and possibly other versions, does not properly handle when Programmable Interval Timer (PIT) interrupt requests (IRQs) when a virtual interrupt controller (irqchip) is not available, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) by starting a timer.)
 CVE-2011-4611
 CVE-2011-4127
 CVE-2011-4110 (The user_update function in security/keys/user_defined.c in the Linux kernel 2.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and kernel oops) via vectors related to a user-defined key and "updating a negative key into a fully instantiated key.")
 CVE-2011-4077 (Buffer overflow in the xfs_readlink function in fs/xfs/xfs_vnodeops.c in XFS in the Linux kernel 2.6, when CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG is disabled, allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an XFS image containing a symbolic link with a long pathname.)
 CVE-2011-3353
 CVE-2011-2898
 CVE-2011-2213 (The inet_diag_bc_audit function in net/ipv4/inet_diag.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39.3 does not properly audit INET_DIAG bytecode, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel infinite loop) via crafted INET_DIAG_REQ_BYTECODE instructions in a netlink message, as demonstrated by an INET_DIAG_BC_JMP instruction with a zero yes value, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-3880.)
