| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Debian GNU/Linux kernel-image versions 2.4.27-4-386 through 2.4.27-4-k7-smp
Debian GNU/Linux kernel-headers versions 2.4.27-4-386 through 2.4.27-4-k7-smp
Debian GNU/Linux kernel-pcmcia-modules versions 2.4.27-4-386 through 2.4.27-4-k7-smp
Debian GNU/Linux pcmcia-modules versions 2.4.27-4-386 through 2.4.27-4-k7-smp
SUSE Linux Enterprise kernel-default versions (affected versions not specified)
openSUSE kernel-default versions (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue is related to multiple vulnerabilities in various Linux kernel packages, which can lead to a disruption of protected information availability. These vulnerabilities can be exploited remotely. The affected packages include kernel-image, kernel-headers, kernel-pcmcia-modules, and pcmcia-modules for Debian GNU/Linux, as well as kernel-default for SUSE Linux Enterprise and openSUSE. The exploitation of these vulnerabilities can result in a denial of service (memory consumption) by creating a socket using connect and releasing it before the PPPIOCGCHAN ioctl is initialized.
Recommendations
For Debian GNU/Linux kernel-image versions 2.4.27-4-386 through 2.4.27-4-k7-smp, update to a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
For Debian GNU/Linux kernel-headers versions 2.4.27-4-386 through 2.4.27-4-k7-smp, update to a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
For Debian GNU/Linux kernel-pcmcia-modules versions 2.4.27-4-386 through 2.4.27-4-k7-smp, update to a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
For Debian GNU/Linux pcmcia-modules versions 2.4.27-4-386 through 2.4.27-4-k7-smp, update to a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
For SUSE Linux Enterprise kernel-default, update to a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
For openSUSE kernel-default, update to a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the vulnerable kernel modules until a patch is available. Restrict access to the vulnerable kernel modules to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the affected kernel packages until the issue is resolved.
