MDVSA-2010:188: [MDVSA-2010:188] kernel
Problem Description:
Some vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux
2.6 kernel:
fs/namei.c in Linux kernel 2.6.18 through 2.6.34 does not always
follow NFS automount symlinks, which allows attackers to have an
unknown impact, related to LOOKUP_FOLLOW. (CVE-2010-1088)
The tc_fill_tclass function in net/sched/sch_api.c in the tc subsystem
in the Linux kernel 2.4.x before 2.4.37.6 and 2.6.x before 2.6.31-rc9
does not initialize certain (1) tcm__pad1 and (2) tcm__pad2 structure
members, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information
from kernel memory via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2009-3228)Read more at www.criticalwatch.com
