USN-3823-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities linux vulnerabilities A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: Ubuntu 12.04 ESM Summary Several security issues were mitigated in the Linux kernel. Software Description linux – Linux kernel Details It was discovered that memory present in the L1 data cache of an Intel CPU core may be exposed to a malicious process that is executing on the CPU core. This vulnerability is also known as L1 Terminal Fault (L1TF). A local attacker in a guest virtual machine could use this to expose sensitive information (memory from other guests or the host OS). (CVE-2018-3646) It was discovered that memory present in the L1 data cache of an Intel CPU core may be exposed to a malicious process that is executing on the CPU core. This vulnerability is also known as L1 Terminal Fault [ more… ]

USN-3822-2: Linux kernel (Trusty HWE) vulnerabilities linux-lts-trusty vulnerabilities A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: Ubuntu 12.04 ESM Summary Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Software Description linux-lts-trusty – Linux hardware enablement kernel from Trusty for Precise ESM Details USN-3822-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernel from Ubuntu 14.04 LTS for Ubuntu 12.04 ESM. Jim Mattson discovered that the KVM implementation in the Linux kernel mismanages the #BP and #OF exceptions. A local attacker in a guest virtual machine could use this to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash). (CVE-2016-9588) It was discovered that the generic SCSI driver in the Linux kernel did not properly enforce permissions on kernel memory access. A local attacker [ more… ]

(CVE-2016-9588) It was discovered that the generic SCSI driver in the Linux kernel did not properly enforce permissions on kernel memory access. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information or possibly elevate privileges. (CVE-2017-13168) Andrey Konovalov discovered that the CDC USB Ethernet driver did not properly validate device descriptors. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system [ more… ]

USN-3820-3: Linux kernel (Azure) vulnerabilities linux-azure vulnerabilities A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Summary Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Software Description linux-azure – Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud systems Details Felix Wilhelm discovered that the Xen netback driver in the Linux kernel did not properly perform input validation in some situations. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-15471) It was discovered that the generic SCSI driver in the Linux kernel did not properly enforce permissions on kernel memory access. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information or possibly elevate privileges. (CVE-2017-13168) It was discovered that an integer overflow existed in the CD-ROM driver of the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use [ more… ]

USN-3821-2: Linux kernel (Xenial HWE) vulnerabilities linux-lts-xenial, linux-aws vulnerabilities A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Summary Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Software Description linux-aws – Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems linux-lts-xenial – Linux hardware enablement kernel from Xenial for Trusty Details USN-3821-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernel from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Wen Xu discovered that the ext4 filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly ensure that xattr information remained in inode bodies. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious ext4 image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2018-10880) It was discovered that the alarmtimer [ more… ]
