VMware Security Advisory 2011-0012 - VMware ESXi and ESX updates to third party libraries and ESX Service Console address several security issues.

9b5198e025901d7e83cb9d7ed6a8a856074baa405387532a1558ef7da79896f5Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2010-188 - Some vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux kernel. fs/namei.c in Linux kernel 2.6.18 through 2.6.34 does not always follow NFS automount symlinks, which allows attackers to have an unknown impact, related to LOOKUP_FOLLOW. The do_pages_move function in mm/migrate.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.33-rc7 does not validate node values, which allows local users to read arbitrary kernel memory locations, cause a denial of service , and possibly have unspecified other impact by specifying a node that is not part of the kernel node set. Various other issues have been addressed.

e25b6491aff8c3f5313eb5b89eb84002884efc169a59c3cd5dd92e86cb26502dMandriva Linux Security Advisory 2010-172 - Some vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux kernel. Buffer overflow in the ecryptfs_uid_hash macro in fs/ecryptfs/messaging.c in the eCryptfs subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.35 might allow local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors. The DNS resolution functionality in the CIFS implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.35, when CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL is enabled, relies on a user's keyring for the dns_resolver upcall in the cifs.upcall userspace helper, which allows local users to spoof the results of DNS queries and perform arbitrary CIFS mounts via vectors involving an add_key call, related to a cache stuffing issue and MS-DFS referrals. The do_anonymous_page function in mm/memory.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.27.52, 2.6.32.x before 2.6.32.19, 2.6.34.x before 2.6.34.4, and 2.6.35.x before 2.6.35.2 does not properly separate the stack and the heap, which allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code by writing to the bottom page of a shared memory segment, as demonstrated by a memory-exhaustion attack against the X.Org X server. Integer overflow in the ext4_ext_get_blocks function in fs/ext4/extents.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.34 allows local users to cause a denial of service via a write operation on the last block of a large file, followed by a sync operation.
0270ee39ecc23658fc44a57fdd5c09faa6452958070bb6def481339131293b2fUbuntu Security Notice 966-1 - Junjiro R. Okajima discovered that knfsd did not correctly handle strict overcommit. Chris Guo, Jukka Taimisto, and Olli Jarva discovered that SCTP did not correctly handle invalid parameters. A remote attacker could send specially crafted traffic that could crash the system, leading to a denial of service. Mario Mikocevic discovered that GFS2 did not correctly handle certain quota structures. Toshiyuki Okajima discovered that the kernel keyring did not correctly handle dead keyrings. Brad Spengler discovered that Sparc did not correctly implement non-executable stacks. This made userspace applications vulnerable to exploits that would have been otherwise blocked due to non-executable memory protections. Dan Rosenberg discovered that the btrfs clone function did not correctly validate permissions. Dan Rosenberg discovered that GFS2 set_flags function did not correctly validate permissions. Shi Weihua discovered that btrfs xattr_set_acl function did not correctly validate permissions. Andre Osterhues discovered that eCryptfs did not correctly calculate hash values.
