Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2015-052
Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2015-052 – Apache Tomcat 7.x before 7.0.47, when an HTTP connector or AJP connector is used, does not properly handle certain inconsistent HTTP request headers, which allows remote attackers to trigger incorrect identification of a request’s length and conduct request-smuggling attacks via a Content-Length header and a Transfer-Encoding: chunked header. Apache Tomcat 7.x before 7.0.50 processes chunked transfer coding without properly handling a large total amount of chunked data or whitespace characters in an HTTP header value within a trailer field, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by streaming data. Various otehr issues have also been addressed.
Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-0284-03
Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-0284-03 – The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. A race condition flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel’s KVM subsystem handled PIT emulation. A guest user who has access to the PIT I/O ports could use this flaw to crash the host. A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel’s SCTP implementation validated INIT chunks when performing Address Configuration Change. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the system by sending a specially crafted SCTP packet to trigger a NULL pointer dereference on the system.
