CVE-2013-1797

CVSS v2.0

7.8

High

VectorAV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions openSUSE systemtap-runtime-debuginfo (affected versions not specified) openSUSE systemtap-sdt-devel (affected versions not specified) openSUSE systemtap (affected versions not specified) openSUSE libvmtools0 (affected versions not specified) openSUSE systemtap-client (affected versions not specified) openSUSE systemtap-client-debuginfo (affected versions not specified) openSUSE kernel-vanilla-base-debuginfo (affected versions not specified) openSUSE systemtap-server-debuginfo (affected versions not specified) openSUSE libvmtools0-debuginfo (affected versions not specified) openSUSE systemtap-runtime (affected versions not specified) openSUSE kernel-vanilla-base (affected versions not specified) openSUSE systemtap-server (affected versions not specified) Linux kernel versions prior to 3.8.4
Description The issue involves multiple vulnerabilities in various packages of the openSUSE operating system and the Linux kernel, which can lead to disruption of protected information availability. These vulnerabilities can be exploited remotely or locally, depending on the package. The Linux kernel vulnerability, in particular, allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service or possibly have other unspecified impacts through a crafted application.
Recommendations For openSUSE systemtap-runtime-debuginfo, consider disabling the vulnerable components until a patch is available. For openSUSE systemtap-sdt-devel, restrict access to the vulnerable module to minimize the risk of exploitation. For openSUSE systemtap, avoid using the vulnerable functions until the issue is resolved. For openSUSE libvmtools0, consider disabling the libvmtools0 module as a temporary workaround. For openSUSE systemtap-client, restrict access to the vulnerable client to minimize the risk of exploitation. For openSUSE systemtap-client-debuginfo, consider disabling the vulnerable debug information until a patch is available. For openSUSE kernel-vanilla-base-debuginfo, update to a version later than 3.8.4 to resolve the issue. For openSUSE systemtap-server-debuginfo, restrict access to the vulnerable server to minimize the risk of exploitation. For openSUSE libvmtools0-debuginfo, consider disabling the vulnerable debug information until a patch is available. For openSUSE systemtap-runtime, consider disabling the vulnerable runtime until a patch is available. For openSUSE kernel-vanilla-base, update to a version later than 3.8.4 to resolve the issue. For openSUSE systemtap-server, restrict access to the vulnerable server to minimize the risk of exploitation. For Linux kernel versions prior to 3.8.4, update to version 3.8.4 or later to resolve the issue.
