USN-3508-2: Linux kernel (HWE) vulnerabilities Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3508-2 7th December, 2017 linux-hwe vulnerabilities A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Summary Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Software description linux-hwe – Linux hardware enablement (HWE) kernel Details USN-3508-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 17.04.This update provides the corresponding updates for the LinuxHardware Enablement (HWE) kernel from Ubuntu 17.04 for Ubuntu16.04 LTS. Mohamed Ghannam discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed inthe Netlink subsystem (XFRM) in the Linux kernel. A local attacker coulduse this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly executearbitrary code. (CVE-2017-16939) It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly handle copy-on-write of transparent huge pages. A local attacker could use this to cause adenial of service (application crashes) or possibly [ more… ]
