- Summary
- Updated kernel packages fix security vulnerabilities
- Details
-
This kernel update is based on upstream 4.9.50 and fixes at least the following security issues:
net/xfrm/xfrmpolicy.c in the Linux kernel through 4.12.3, when CONFIGXFRMMIGRATE is enabled, does not ensure that the dir value of xfrmuserpolicyid is XFRMPOLICYMAX or less, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via an XFRMMSG_MIGRATE xfrm Netlink message (CVE-2017-11600).
The xenbiovecphys_mergeable function in drivers/xen/biomerge.c in Xen might allow local OS guest users to corrupt block device data streams and consequently obtain sensitive memory information, cause a denial of service, or gain host OS privileges by leveraging incorrect block IO merge-ability calculation (CVE-2017-12134 / XSA-229).
The XFSISREALTIMEINODE macro in fs/xfs/xfslinux.h in the Linux kernel before 4.13.2 does not verify that a filesystem has a realtime device, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) via vectors related to setting an RHINHERIT flag on a directory (CVE-2017-14340).
The native Bluetooth stack in the Linux Kernel (BlueZ), starting at the Linux kernel version 3.3-rc1 and up to and including 4.13.1, are vulnerable to a stack overflow vulnerability in the processing of L2CAP configuration responses resulting in Remote code execution in kernel space (CVE-2017-1000251).
For other upstream fixes in this update, read the referenced changelogs.
