Title: Linux Kernel 2.4.18 Security Issues
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Red Hat has issued an advisory reporting the correction of several vulnerabilities in version 2.4.18 of the Linux kernel. Some of the security issues are related to the following device drivers:
stradis
rio500
se401
usbvideo
apm
Furhermore, vulnerabilities reportedly exist in components of the procfs virtual filesystem that may cause kernel memory to be exposed. It should be assumed that at the very least, local attackers may exploit these vulnerabilities to elevate privileges.
SecurityFocus is currently completing analysis of the reported vulnerabilities and will issue individual alerts for each.
