USN-4117-1: Linux kernel (AWS) vulnerabilities linux-aws vulnerabilities A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: Ubuntu 19.04 Summary Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Software Description linux-aws – Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems Details It was discovered that a heap buffer overflow existed in the Marvell Wireless LAN device driver for the Linux kernel. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-10126) Amit Klein and Benny Pinkas discovered that the Linux kernel did not sufficiently randomize IP ID values generated for connectionless networking protocols. A remote attacker could use this to track particular Linux devices. (CVE-2019-10638) It was discovered that a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability existed in the Near-field communication (NFC) implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could [ more… ]
