Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-1580-01

Posted Dec 19, 2012

Authored by Red Hat | Site access.redhat.com

Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-1580-01 - The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. It was found that the RHSA-2012:0862 update did not correctly fix the CVE-2011-4131 issue. A malicious Network File System version 4 server could return a crafted reply to a GETACL request, causing a denial of service on the client. A divide-by-zero flaw was found in the TCP Illinois congestion control algorithm implementation in the Linux kernel. If the TCP Illinois congestion control algorithm were in use, a local, unprivileged user could trigger this flaw and cause a denial of service.
