Description
The issue concerns multiple vulnerabilities in various Linux kernel packages across different operating systems, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Debian GNU/Linux. These vulnerabilities can lead to disruptions in confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. Exploitation can be carried out remotely. Specifically, functions like
real lookup and lookup hash in the Linux kernel's vfs implementation have issues that allow local users to cause a denial of service by attempting file creations within deleted directories.Recommendations
For Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernel version 2.4.9, update to a version that includes the necessary security patches.
For Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernel version 2.4.18, update to a version that includes the necessary security patches.
For Debian GNU/Linux linux-headers version 2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-all-mips, update to a version that includes the necessary security patches.
For Debian GNU/Linux linux-headers version 2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-r4k-ip22, update to a version that includes the necessary security patches.
For Debian GNU/Linux linux-headers version 2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-r5k-ip32, update to a version that includes the necessary security patches.
For openSUSE kernel-rt debug-debugsource and kernel-rt debug-debuginfo, update to versions that include the necessary security patches.
For Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.25.15, update to version 2.6.25.15 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to vulnerable kernel functions until a patch is available.
