Synopsis: These remote packages are missing security patches : - linux-doc - linux-doc-2.6.15 - linux-doc-2.6.24 - linux-doc-2.6.27 - linux-doc-2.6.28 - linux-ec2-doc - linux-ec2-source-2.6.31 - linux-headers-2.6.15-55 - linux-headers-2.6.15-55-386 - linux-headers-2.6.15-55-686 - linux-headers-2.6.15-55-amd64-generic - linux-headers-2.6.15-55-amd64-k8 - linux-headers-2.6.15-55-amd64-server - linux-headers-2.6.15-55-amd64-xeon - linux-headers-2.6.15-55-k7 - linux-headers-2.6.15-55-powerpc - linux-head [...] Description: Mathias Krause discovered that the Linux kernel did not correctly handle missing ELF interpreters. A local attacker could exploit this to cause the system to crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-0307) Marcelo Tosatti discovered that the Linux kernel's hardware virtualization did not correctly handle reading the /dev/port special device. A local attacker in a guest operating system could issue a specific read that would cause the host system to crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-0309) Sebastian Krahmer discovered that the Linux kernel did not correctly handle netlink connector messages. A local attacker could exploit this to consume kernel memory, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-0410) Ramon de Carvalho Valle discovered that the Linux kernel did not correctly validate certain memory migration calls. A local attacker could exploit this to read arbitrary kernel memory or cause a system crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-0415) Jermome Marchand and Mikael [...] Solution: Upgrade to : - linux-doc-2.6.31-20.58 (Ubuntu 9.10) - linux-doc-2.6.15-2.6.15-55.83 (Ubuntu 6.06) - linux-doc-2.6.24-2.6.24-27.68 (Ubuntu 8.04) - linux-doc-2.6.27-2.6.27-17.46 (Ubuntu 8.10) - linux-doc-2.6.28-2.6.28-18.60 (Ubuntu 9.04) - linux-ec2-doc-2.6.31-305.13 (Ubuntu 9.10) - linux-ec2-source-2.6.31-2.6.31-305.13 (Ubuntu 9.10) - linux-headers-2.6.15-55-2.6.15-55.83 (Ubuntu 6.06) - linux-headers-2.6.15-55-386-2.6.15-55.83 (Ubuntu 6.06) - linux-headers-2.6.15-55-686-2.6.15-55.83 (Ubuntu 6.06) - linux-h [...] Risk factor: Medium / CVSS Base Score : 6.8 (CVSS2#AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:N/I:N/A:C)
