Debian Security Advisory DSA-2325-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Aurelien Jarno
October 23, 2011 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : kfreebsd-8
Vulnerability : privilege escalation/denial of service
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2011-4062
Buffer overflow in the "linux emulation" support in FreeBSD kernel
allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) and possibly
execute arbitrary code by calling the bind system call with a long path
for a UNIX-domain socket, which is not properly handled when the
address is used by other unspecified system calls.
For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 8.1+dfsg-8+squeeze2.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 8.2-9.
We recommend that you upgrade your kfreebsd-8 packages.
