Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) Resource management errors (CVE-ID: CVE-2007-3843)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to corrupt data.

The Linux kernel before 2.6.23-rc1 checks the wrong global variable for the CIFS sec mount option, which might allow remote attackers to spoof CIFS network traffic that the client configured for security signatures, as demonstrated by lack of signing despite sec=ntlmv2i in a SetupAndX request.


Remediation

Install update from vendor's website.
