On AMD64 and Intel 64 platforms, a local user couldtrigger this flaw and cause a denial of service. (CVE-2007-4574, Important)* A flaw was found in the handling of process death signals. This allowed alocal user to send arbitrary signals to the suid-process executed by thatuser. A successful exploitation of this flaw depends on the structure ofthe suid-program and its signal handling. (CVE-2007-3848, Important)* A flaw was found in the Distributed Lock Manager (DLM) in the clustermanager. This allowed a remote user who is able to connect to the DLM portto cause a denial of service. (CVE-2007-3380, Important)* A flaw was found in the aacraid SCSI driver. This allowed a local user tomake ioctl calls to the driver which should otherwise be restricted toprivileged users. (CVE-2007-4308, Moderate)* A flaw was found in the prio_tree handling of the hugetlb support thatallowed a local user to cause a denial of service. This only affectedkernels with hugetlb support. (CVE-2007-4133, Moderate)* A flaw was found in the eHCA driver on PowerPC architectures that alloweda local user to access 60k of physical address space. This address spacecould contain sensitive information. (CVE-2007-3850, Moderate)* A flaw was found in ptrace support that allowed a local user to cause adenial of service via a NULL pointer dereference. (CVE-2007-3731, Moderate)* A flaw was found in the usblcd driver that allowed a local user to causea denialof service by writing data to the device node. To exploit this issue, writeaccess to the device node was needed. (CVE-2007-3513, Moderate)* A flaw was found in the random number generator implementation thatallowed a local user to cause a denial of service or possibly gainprivileges. If the root user raised the default wakeup threshold over thesize of the output pool, this flaw could be exploited. (CVE-2007-3105, Low)In addition to the security issues described above, several bug fixespreventing possible system crashes and data corruption were also included.SL 5.x
