Linux vmsplice Local Exploit - How Hosts Responded

Tue, 12 Feb 2008 12:20:12 +1100

SecurityFocus: Linux kernel memory access vulnerabilities, exploit included to get you root account on stock kernels between 2.6.17 and 2.6.24.1. Web hosts responded — Holy !$#&!!! CentOS 5, Ubuntu Edgy-Gutsy, Debian Etch — all these Linux distributions are affected. Basically a local user can gain root access, and with help from vulnerable applications that allow executing arbitrary local code, a remote user might be able to take over the entire system.

It is great to see hosts taking security seriously (especially those providing SSH access to shared hosting accounts). Looking at my list of hosting accounts:

SliceHost — not vulnerable as they run Linux 2.6.16.

Linode — new kernel images created within 24 hours of security alert.

VPSLink — can’t find any discussion on their forums. My VPS there was running 2.6.9 so it should be secure, but I heard there are servers running newer 2.6.18 kernels from OpenVZ.

DreamHost — “What security issue? We are still running 2.4 kernels!”

NearlyFreeSpeech — “What security issue? FreeBSD ftw!”

A bad bad week for Linux for sure. Time to press that panic button.

Hostican web hosting is the very few hosting provider that perfectly met the above criteria. The best part is that the hostican server uptime is very good, even for a shared hosting server. Once you have your forum setup, regardless its a phpbb2 forum, smf forum, or vbulletin forum, you can place it at the hostican shared hosting as its forum script supported.
