Description Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-12-21 18:51:48 UTC
Failure to handle mounting of corrupt filesystem streams may lead to a local denial of service condition when SELinux hooks are enabled. This particular vulnerability is caused by a null pointer dereference in the superblock_doinit function.

rsbac-sources-2.6.19 is in cvs (~arch)
Comment 10 Andrew Ross (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-01-27 06:02:37 UTC
Thanks, this is fixed in xen-sources-2.6.16.28-r2, which will hit the tree in a few hours (just waiting for the mirrors to update before I commit the ebuild).
Comment 11 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-05-02 16:58:55 UTC
only remaining vulnerable package is openvz-sources
Comment 12 Harlan Lieberman-Berg (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-10-01 23:17:54 UTC
Closing. It's been open long enough, and openvz is iffy about supported anyway.
