SUSE Security Announcement: tcpdump (SuSE-SA:2004:002)
Tcpdump is a well known tool for administrators to analyze network
traffic.
There is a bug in the tcpdump code responsible for handling ISAKMP
messages. This bug allows remote attackers to destroy a current
tcpdump session by tricking the tcpdump program with evil ISAKMP
messages to enter an endless loop.
SUSE Security Announcement: Linux Kernel (SuSE-SA:2004:003)
The do_mremap() function of the Linux Kernel is used to manage
(move, resize) Virtual Memory Areas (VMAs). By exploiting an incorrect
bounds check in do_mremap() during the remapping of memory it is
possible to create a VMA with the size of 0.
In normal operation do_mremap() leaves a memory hole of one page and
creates an additional VMA of two pages. In case of exploitation no
hole is created but the new VMA has a 0 bytes length.
The Linux Kernel's memory management is corrupted from this point
and can be abused by local users to gain root privileges.
Additionally Andi Kleen of SUSE LINUX found and fixed another bug
in the 32bit emulation of ptrace() which allows to modify CPU registers
from user-space to get full access to system ressources.
