CVE: CVE-2011-2471
Component: oprofile
Severity: Moderate
Release date: 2011-04-26T00:00:00+00:00

utils/opcontrol in OProfile 0.9.6 and earlier might allow local users to gain privileges via shell metacharacters in the (1) --vmlinux, (2) --session-dir, or (3) --xen argument, related to the daemonrc file and the do_save_setup and do_load_setup functions, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-1760.

netfilter: ipt_CLUSTERIP: fix buffer overflow
CVE: CVE-2011-2534
Component: ipv4
Severity: Low
Release date: 2011-03-10T00:00:00+00:00

Buffer overflow in the clusterip_proc_write function in net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_CLUSTERIP.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 might allow local users to cause a denial of service or have unspecified other impact via a crafted write operation, related to string data that lacks a terminating '\0' character.

Statement: This issue did not affect the version of Linux kernel as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 as it did not have support for ipt_CLUSTERIP. This has been addressed in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6, and Red Hat Enterprise MRG via http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0833.html, http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0498.html, and http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0500.html.

To install kernel packages manually, use "rpm -ivh [package]". Do not
use "rpm -Uvh" as that will remove the running kernel binaries from
your system. You may use "rpm -e" to remove old kernels after
determining that the new kernel functions properly on your system.
This update also fixes various bugs. Documentation for these bug fixes
will be available shortly from the Technical Notes document linked to
in the References section.

Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these
issues, and fix the bugs noted in the Technical Notes. The system
