TITLE

Linux Kernel In FPH Vulnerabilities that do not check the process that owns

DESCRIPTION

Floating point information leak in the context switch code for Linux 2.4.x only checks the MFH bit but does not verify the FPH owner, which allows local users to read register values of other processes by setting the MFH bit. ------------ This vulnerability information is a summary of multiple vulnerabilities released at the same time. Please note that the contents of vulnerability information other than the title are included. ------------ Linux In the kernel, context switch code is used to switch computation processing between threads. Also, ia64 In architecture, FPH ( High-order register of floating point register ) Change information to user mask (UM) In the register MFH Store in register. this FPH If the register is changed, MFH A bit is set in the register. Local attackers who exploit this issue MFH It is possible to read the register values of other processes by creating a program that sets the bits. Also, ia64 In architecture Linux Kernel 2.4.x In certain circumstances, a local attacker could cause a kernel panic, resulting in a system out of service (CAN-2004-0447) Has been reported, but it is unknown at present. still, ia64 Other architectures are not affected by these issues.Please refer to the “Overview” for the impact of this vulnerability. The Linux kernel is reported prone to a data-disclosure vulnerability. Reportedly, this issue may permit a malicious executable to access the contents of floating-point registers that belong to another process. Linux is an open source operating system. Opened by (Arun Sharma) on 2004-05-28 17:46 Description of problem: Linux 2.4.x and the SLES9/ia64 kernels have a floating point leak. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.4.21-12.EL. How reproducible: Run N (= number of cpus) copies of the program secret and one copy of the program check. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA 1069-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze, Dann Frazier May 20th, 2006 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : kernel-source-2.4.18,kernel-image-2.4.18-1-alpha,kernel-image-2.4.18-1-i386,kernel-image-2.4.18-hppa,kernel-image-2.4.18-powerpc-xfs,kernel-patch-2.4.18-powerpc,kernel-patch-benh Vulnerability : several Problem-Type : local/remote Debian-specific: no CVE IDs : CVE-2004-0427 CVE-2005-0489 CVE-2004-0394 CVE-2004-0447 CVE-2004-0554 CVE-2004-0565 CVE-2004-0685 CVE-2005-0001 CVE-2004-0883 CVE-2004-0949 CVE-2004-1016 CVE-2004-1333 CVE-2004-0997 CVE-2004-1335 CVE-2004-1017 CVE-2005-0124 CVE-2005-0528 CVE-2003-0984 CVE-2004-1070 CVE-2004-1071 CVE-2004-1072 CVE-2004-1073 CVE-2004-1074 CVE-2004-0138 CVE-2004-1068 CVE-2004-1234 CVE-2005-0003 CVE-2004-1235 CVE-2005-0504 CVE-2005-0384 CVE-2005-0135 Several local and remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.
