Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have reportedly been fixed in the latest kernel releases. These may allow malicious, local users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or gain knowledge of sensitive information.

1-3) Information leaks within the ext3, XFS, and JFS file system code may expose sensitive data (e.g. cryptographic keys) to malicious, local users, who are able to read the raw device.

4) An error within the OSS code for SoundBlaster 16 devices may cause a DoS when submitting an odd number of output bytes. This is an older vulnerability, which was first reported in June 2002.


Solution
The vulnerabilities have reportedly been fixed in Linux kernel versions 2.4.26 and 2.6.6-rc1.
