2017-06-29 KENNETH 0

USN-3345-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3345-1 29th June, 2017 linux, linux-raspi2 vulnerabilities A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: Ubuntu 17.04 Summary Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Software description linux – Linux kernel linux-raspi2 – Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi 2 Details USN 3324-1 fixed a vulnerability in the Linux kernel. However, thatfix introduced regressions for some Java applications. This updateaddresses the issue. We apologize for the inconvenience. Roee Hay discovered that the parallel port printer driver in the Linuxkernel did not properly bounds check passed arguments. A local attackerwith write access to the kernel command line arguments could use this toexecute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-1000363) It was discovered that a double-free vulnerability existed in the IPv4stack of the Linux kernel. An attacker could use this to cause a denial ofservice [ more… ]
