- - quotes from CVE: |
19 |
|
20 |
"The route cache implementation in Linux 2.4, and the Netfilter IP |
21 |
conntrack module, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service |
22 |
(CPU consumption) via packets with forged source addresses that cause a |
23 |
large number of hash table collisions." |
24 |
|
25 |
"The ioperm system call in Linux kernel 2.4.20 and earlier does not |
26 |
properly restrict privileges, which allows local users to gain read or |
27 |
write access to certain I/O ports." |
28 |
|
29 |
"A race condition in the way env_start and env_end pointers are |
30 |
initialized in the execve system call and used in fs/proc/base.c on |
31 |
Linux 2.4 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash)." |
32 |
|
33 |
SOLUTION |
34 |
|
35 |
It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users who are running |
36 |
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources upgrade to gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r6 as follows |
37 |
|
38 |
emerge sync |
39 |
emerge gentoo-sources |
40 |
emerge clean |
41 |
|
42 |
After that, compile, install and reboot your computer to complete |
43 |
the upgrade. |
