CVE-2009-4895 [MEDIUM] Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Title: Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Summary: Multiple kernel flaws.
Dan Rosenberg discovered that the RDS network protocol did not correctly
check certain parameters. A local attacker could exploit this gain root
privileges. (CVE-2010-3904)
Nelson Elhage discovered several problems with the Acorn Econet protocol
driver. A local user could cause a denial of service via a NULL pointer
dereference, escalate privileges by overflowing the kernel stack, and
assign Econet addresses to arbitrary interfaces. (CVE-2010-3848,
CVE-2010-3849, CVE-2010-3850)
Ben Hawkes discovered that the Linux kernel did not correctly filter
registers on 64bit kernels when performing 32bit system calls. On a 64bit
system, a local attacker could manipulate 32bit system calls to gain root
privileges. (CVE-2010-3301)

CVE-2010-2226 [LOW] kernel: xfs swapext ioctl minor security issue
kernel: xfs swapext ioctl minor security issue
The xfs_swapext function in fs/xfs/xfs_dfrag.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.35 does not properly check the file descriptors passed to the SWAPEXT ioctl, which allows local users to leverage write access and obtain read access by swapping one file into another file.
Statement: This issue did not affect the version of Linux kernel as shipped with Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 3, 4 and Red Hat Enterprise MRG as they did not include
support for the XFS filesystem. A future kernel update in Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5 will address this issue.
