--- title: "CVE-2010-3849\n | Ubuntu" description: Ubuntu is an open source software operating system that runs from the desktop, to the cloud, to all your internet connected things. url: https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2010-3849?format=md keywords: index, follow --- # CVE-2010-3849 Publication date 30 November 2010 Last updated 24 July 2024 --- Ubuntu priority **Low** [Why this priority?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#priority ) Toggle side navigation ## Description The econet\_sendmsg function in net/econet/af\_econet.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36.2, when an econet address is configured, allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) via a sendmsg call that specifies a NULL value for the remote address field. ### From the Ubuntu Security Team Nelson Elhage discovered several problems with the Acorn Econet protocol driver. A local user could cause a denial of service via a NULL pointer dereference, escalate privileges by overflowing the kernel stack, and assign Econet addresses to arbitrary interfaces. ## Status Show unmaintained releases | Package | Ubuntu Release | Status | | --- | --- | --- | | linux | 10.10 maverick | Fixed 2.6.35-23.41 | | 10.04 LTS lucid | Fixed 2.6.32-26.48 | | 9.10 karmic | Fixed 2.6.31-22.69 | | 8.04 LTS hardy | Fixed 2.6.24-28.81 | | 6.06 LTS dapper | Not in release | | linux-ec2 | 10.10 maverick | Ignored end of life | | 10.04 LTS lucid | Fixed 2.6.32-310.21 | | 9.10 karmic | Fixed 2.6.31-307.22 | | 8.04 LTS hardy | Not in release | | 6.06 LTS dapper | Not in release | | linux-fsl-imx51 | 10.10 maverick | Not in release | | 10.04 LTS lucid | Fixed 2.6.31-608.22 | | 9.10 karmic | Fixed 2.6.31-112.30 | | 8.04 LTS hardy | Not in release | | 6.06 LTS dapper | Not in release | | linux-lts-backport-maverick | 10.10 maverick | Not in release | | 10.04 LTS lucid | Fixed 2.6.35-25.44~lucid1 | | 9.10 karmic | Not in release | | 8.04 LTS hardy | Not in release | | 6.06 LTS dapper | Not in release | | linux-mvl-dove | 10.10 maverick | Fixed 2.6.32-416.33 | | 10.04 LTS lucid | Fixed 2.6.32-216.33 | | 9.10 karmic | Ignored end of life | | 8.04 LTS hardy | Not in release | | 6.06 LTS dapper | Not in release | | linux-source-2.6.15 | 10.10 maverick | Not in release | | 10.04 LTS lucid | Not in release | | 9.10 karmic | Not in release | | 8.04 LTS hardy | Not in release | | 6.06 LTS dapper | Fixed 2.6.15-55.90 | | linux-ti-omap4 | 10.10 maverick | Fixed 2.6.35-903.22 | | 10.04 LTS lucid | Not in release | | 9.10 karmic | Not in release | | 8.04 LTS hardy | Not in release | | 6.06 LTS dapper | Not in release | --- * [How can I get the fixes?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#security) * [What do statuses mean?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#statuses) * [Patch details](https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2010-3849?format=md#patch-details) ### Patch details For informational purposes only.
