Discussion

Linux Kernel Unspecified Local NFS I/O Denial of Service Vulnerability

The Linux kernel is reported prone to an unspecified local denial of service vulnerability. It is reported that issue exists locally and is exploitable through direct I/O access to NFS file systems.

Successful exploitation will lead to a kernel panic on a computer with NFS mounts. This would effectively deny service to legitimate users.

Solution / Fix

Linux Kernel Unspecified Local NFS I/O Denial of Service Vulnerability

Solution:
Conectiva has released a security advisory (CLA-2005:930) and fixes to address this and other issues. Please see the referenced advisory for further information regarding obtaining and applying appropriate updates.

SuSE has released a security announcement (SUSE-SA:2005:003) and fixes to address the vulnerability described in this BID and also other vulnerabilities. Customers are advised to peruse the referenced announcement for further details in regard to obtaining and applying appropriate fixes.

SuSE has released security advisory SUSE-SA:2005:010 dealing with an issue that has arisen due to a broken patch previously released. Apparently due to various new checks being performed computers running an NVidia graphics card may experience a denial of service condition when X Windows is started. This issue affects SuSE Linux 9.1, SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9, and Novell Linux Desktop 9.

RedHat has released advisory RHSA-2005:366-19 to address this, and other issues in RedHat Enterprise Linux 4, and RedHat Desktop 4 operating systems. Please see the referenced advisory for further information.
