TITLE:
Linux Kernel Multiple Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA14585

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/14585/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Unknown, DoS, System access

WHERE:
>From remote

OPERATING SYSTEM:
Linux Kernel 2.6.x
http://secunia.com/product/2719/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in the Linux kernel. One has
an unknown impact, and the others can be exploited to cause a DoS
(Denial of Service) and potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

1) An error exists in ROSE due to missing verification of the ndigis
argument of new routes.

2) Any user with permissions to access a SCSI tape device can send
some commands, which may cause it to become unusable for other
users.

3) Some unspecified errors have been reported in the ISO9660
filesystem handler including Rock Ridge and Juliet extensions. These
can be exploited via a specially crafted filesystem to cause a DoS or
potentially corrupt memory leading to execution of arbitrary code.

SOLUTION:
The vulnerabilities have been fixed in version 2.6.12-rc1.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
3) Michal Zalewski
