CVE-2004-2607
Linux Kernel Short I/O Out-of-Bounds Memory Read
Description
A numeric casting discrepancy in sdla_xfer in Linux kernel 2.6.x up to 2.6.5 and 2.4 up to 2.4.29-rc1 allows local users to read portions of kernel memory via a large len argument, which is received as an int but cast to a short, which prevents a read loop from filling a buffer.

Solution
- Upgrade the kernel package immediately and reboot the machine. If you have built a custom kernel from the kernel source package, you will need to rebuild to take advantage of these fixes. The following matrix explains which kernel version for which architecture fix the problems mentioned above : Debian 3.1 (sarge) Source 2.4.27-10sarge2 Alpha architecture 2.4.27-10sarge2 ARM architecture 2.4.27-2sarge2 Intel IA-32 architecture 2.4.27-10sarge2 Intel IA-64 architecture 2.4.27-10sarge2 Motorola 680x0 architecture 2.4.27-3sarge2 Big endian MIPS architecture 2.4.27-10.sarge1.040815-2 Little endian MIPS architecture 2.4.27-10.sarge1.040815-2 PowerPC architecture 2.4.27-10sarge2 IBM S/390 architecture 2.4.27-2sarge2 Sun Sparc architecture 2.4.27-9sarge2 The following matrix lists additional packages that were rebuilt for compatibility with or to take advantage of this update : Debian 3.1 (sarge) kernel-latest-2.4-alpha 101sarge1 kernel-latest-2.4-i386 101sarge1 kernel-latest-2.4-s390 2.4.27-1sarge1 kernel-latest-2.4-sparc 42sarge1 kernel-latest-powerpc 102sarge1 fai-kernels 1.9.1sarge1 i2c 1:2.9.1-1sarge1 kernel-image-speakup-i386 2.4.27-1.1sasrge1 lm-sensors 1:2.9.1-1sarge3 mindi-kernel 2.4.27-2sarge1 pcmcia-modules-2.4.27-i386 3.2.5+2sarge1 systemimager 3.2.3-6sarge1 This update introduces a change in the kernel's binary interface, the affected kernel packages inside Debian have been rebuilt, if you're running local addons you'll need to rebuild these as well.
