Users with Oracle Linux Premier Support can now use Ksplice to patch
against this Security Advisory.

We recommend that all users of  Oracle Linux 6 install these updates.

Users of Ksplice Uptrack can install these updates by running :

# /usr/sbin/uptrack-upgrade -y

On systems that have "autoinstall = yes" in /etc/uptrack/uptrack.conf,
these updates will be installed automatically and you do not need to
take any additional action.

Description of changes:

* Information leak in kernel memory leak detector.

In kmemleak_seq_next, failure to get the last object during list
traversal leaked a pointer when it should have returned NULL.

* Kernel oops after blk_cleanup_queue.

The kernel function blk_cleanup_queue() could deallocate an I/O
scheduler while it is still in use, causing a kernel oops.

* ext3 filesystem corruption when no space is left on the device.

When make_indexed_dir failed because there was no space left on the
device, not all changed buffers were being marked as dirty and thus
being written to disk, corrupting the directory.

* Denial of service in JBD fsync transaction handling.

Certain workloads involving fdatasync() and fsync() on filesystems
using the JBD layer could cause denial of service (BUG assertion
failure).

* CVE-2011-2182: Incomplete fix for CVE-2011-1017 buffer overflow in ldm_frag_add.

The patch for CVE-2011-1017 (buffer overflow in ldm_frag_add) did not
handle some edge cases allowing for buffer overflows in the
ldm_frag_add function of the Windows Logical Disk Manager.

* Denial of service in CFQ IO scheduler.

A race condition in __cfq_exit_single_io_context could result in a
denial of service condition (general protection fault).

* CVE-2011-2909: Information leak in comedi driver.

The do_devinfo_ioctl function in the comedi driver incorrectly copied
uninitialized memory beyond the end of a string to user space.

* System freeze in JMicron driver.

A missing dma_unmap in the JMicron ethernet device driver caused
system freezes under heavy loads.

* CVE-2011-2707: Arbitrary read vulnerability in ptrace.

A missing access control check in the ptrace_setxregs() function in
the xtensa architecture allowed an unprivileged user to read arbitrary
kernel memory.

* Kernel BUG in ext3 xattr handling.

A race condition in the ext3 filesystem's handling of user extended
attributes (xattrs) could result in a denial of service condition
(kernel BUG).

* svrpc: Fix memory corruption on nfsd shutdown.

A logic error in the svc_delete_xprt function could result in a
use-after-free condition on nfsd shutdown, resulting in a potential
denial-of-service or privilege escalation.

* CVE-2011-1585: Authentication bypass in CIFS.

Jeff Layton reported an issue in the Common Internet File System
(CIFS).  Local users can bypass authentication requirements for shares
that are already mounted by another user.

* Incorrect index handling in snd_pcm_ioctl_xfern_compat.

A programming error in the snd_pcm_ioctl_xfern_compat function could
result in denial of service or privilege escalation while processing
user requests to certain sound devices.

* NULL pointer deference in dm multipath driver.

Supplying fewer feature arguments than indicated to parse_features
allowed a NULL pointer dereference.

* Race condition in process ID generation.

A program that repeatedly forks and waits is susceptible to having the
same pid repeated, especially when it competes with another instance
of the same program.

* CVE-2011-1577: Missing boundary checks in GPT partition handling.

A heap overflow flaw in the Linux kernel's EFI GUID Partition Table
(GPT) implementation could allow a local attacker to cause a denial of
service by mounting a disk that contains specially-crafted partition
tables.  (CVE-2011-1577, Low)

* Denial of service in Data Center Bridging.

A spinlock is not unlocked in dcbnl_ieee_get an error condition,
potentially leading to denial of service.dcbnl_getapp may dereference a
NULL pointer, potentially leading to denial of service.

* CVE-2011-4110: Denial of service in kernel key management facilities.

A flaw in the way user-defined key types were handled allowed an
uprivileged local user to crash the system via a NULL pointer
dereference and kernel OOPS.

* Improved fix for CVE-2011-2495: Information leak in /proc/PID/io.

The original patch for CVE-2011-2495, which added missing access
checks in /proc/PID/io, contained a race condition.  This race condition
could be used to obtain io statistics for a privileged process, which could
in turn be used to gather sensitive information (e.g. ssh/ftp password
length).

* CVE-2011-3638: Disk layout corruption bug in ext4 filesystem.

When splitting two extents in ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized(), an
extent was incorrectly not dirtied, resulting in the disk layout being
corrupted, which will eventually cause a kernel crash.

* CVE-2011-4330: Buffer overflow in HFS file name translation logic.

Clement Lecigne reported a flaw in the way the HFS filesystem
implementation handled file names larger than HFS_NAMELEN.  A
missing length check in hfs_mac2asc could result in a buffer
overflow.

* Privilege escalation in Sun RPC credential cache.

A programming mistake in the cache of recently used Sun RPC
credentials may allow access to be incorrectly granted to
processes with certain group lists.

* CVE-2011-2525: Denial of Service in packet scheduler API.

A flaw allowed the tc_fill_qdisc() function in the Linux kernel's
packet scheduler API implementation to be called on built-in qdisc
structures.  A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to trigger
a NULL pointer dereference, resulting in a denial of service.
(CVE-2011-2525, Moderate)

* Wrong reserved DMA addresses in AMD IOMMU.

An arithmetic error in the AMD IOMMU driver caused incorrect
addresses to be reserved for DMA.

* Denial of service in NFSv4 server open downgrade operation.

The WANT bits in the NFSv4 open downgrade operation could
potentially be used to trigger a denial of service (kernel BUG).

* Corruption with sendfile to non-sockets.

A flaw in the direct_splice_actor function could cause corruption in
userspace when using the sendfile system call with output files other
than sockets.

* CVE-2011-1020: Missing access restrictions in /proc subsystem.

The proc filesystem implementation did not restrict access to the
/proc directory tree of a process after this process performs an exec
of a setuid program, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive
information or potentially cause other integrity issues.
