USN-2946-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2946-1 6th April, 2016 linux vulnerabilities A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Summary Several security issues were fixed in the kernel. Software description linux – Linux kernel Details Venkatesh Pottem discovered a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linuxkernel's CXGB3 driver. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial ofservice (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-8812) Xiaofei Rex Guo discovered a timing side channel vulnerability in the LinuxExtended Verification Module (EVM). An attacker could use this to affectsystem integrity. (CVE-2016-2085) David Herrmann discovered that the Linux kernel incorrectly accounted filedescriptors to the original opener for in-flight file descriptors sent overa unix domain socket. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial ofservice (resource exhaustion). (CVE-2016-2550) It was discovered that the Linux [ more… ]
