rPath Security Advisory: 2007-0031-1 Published: 2007-02-09 Products: rPath Linux 1 Rating: Major Exposure Level Classification: Indirect Deterministic Denial of Service Updated Versions: kernel=/conary.rpath.com@rpl:devel//1/2.6.19.3-0.1-1 References: http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-6106 https://issues.rpath.com/browse/RPL-848 https://issues.rpath.com/browse/RPL-963 Description: Previous versions of the kernel package are vulnerable to a denial of service when using the capi bluetooth driver. rPath Linux 1 does not include the tools required to configure this driver, so rPath Linux 1 has limited exposure to this vulnerability. This is the first release of the 2.6.19.x kernel for rPath Linux 1, which enables significant additional hardware support. This includes support for new hardware in existing drivers, as well as additional drivers. This update requires a system reboot to implement the fixes. Note: rPath Linux is not vulnerable to several other Linux kernel vulnerabilities that have been recently announced, including CVE-2006-4814, CVE-2006-5174, CVE-2006-6304, CVE-2006-6053, CVE-2006-6054, CVE-2006-4814, and CVE-2006-5823.
