Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2009:103-1

http://www.mandriva.com/security/

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Package : udev

Date : December 3, 2009

Affected: 2008.0

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Problem Description:

 

Security vulnerabilities have been identified and fixed in udev.

 

udev before 1.4.1 does not verify whether a NETLINK message originates

from kernel space, which allows local users to gain privileges by

sending a NETLINK message from user space (CVE-2009-1185).

 

Buffer overflow in the util_path_encode function in

udev/lib/libudev-util.c in udev before 1.4.1 allows local users to

cause a denial of service (service outage) via vectors that trigger

a call with crafted arguments (CVE-2009-1186).

 

The updated packages have been patched to prevent this.

 

Update:

 

Packages for 2008.0 are being provided due to extended support for

Corporate products.
