USN-3930-2: Linux kernel (HWE) vulnerabilities linux-hwe, linux-azure vulnerabilities A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Summary Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Software Description linux-azure – Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud systems linux-hwe – Linux hardware enablement (HWE) kernel Details USN-3930-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 18.10. This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernel from Ubuntu 18.10 for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Mathias Payer and Hui Peng discovered a use-after-free vulnerability in the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) subsystem. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2018-19824) Shlomi Oberman, Yuli Shapiro, and Ran Menscher discovered an information leak in the Bluetooth implementation of the Linux kernel. An attacker within Bluetooth range could use [ more… ]
