Ubuntu Security Notice 869-1

Posted Dec 10, 2009

Authored by Ubuntu | Site security.ubuntu.com

Ubuntu Security Notice 869-1 - David Ford discovered that the IPv4 defragmentation routine did not correctly handle oversized packets. A remote attacker could send specially crafted traffic that would cause a system to crash, leading to a denial of service. (The fix was included in the earlier kernels from USN-864-1.) Akira Fujita discovered that the Ext4 "move extents" ioctl did not correctly check permissions. A local attacker could exploit this to overwrite arbitrary files on the system, leading to root privilege escalation.
