______________________________________________________________________________
An update that solves three vulnerabilities and has one
errata is now available.
Description:
This update for the Linux Kernel 4.12.14-25_13 fixes several issues.
The following security issues were fixed:
- CVE-2018-10938: It was found that a crafted network packet sent remotely
by an attacker may force the kernel to enter an infinite loop in the
cipso_v4_optptr() function in net/ipv4/cipso_ipv4.c leading to a
denial-of-service. A certain non-default configuration of LSM (Linux
Security Module) and NetLabel should be set up on a system an attacker
could leverage this flaw (bsc#1106191).
- CVE-2018-15471: It was found that the netback driver allowed frontends
to control mapping of requests to request queues. When processing a
request to set or change this mapping, some input validation (e.g., for
an integer overflow) was missing or flawed, leading to OOB access in
hash handling. A malicious or buggy frontend may caused the (usually
privileged) backend to make out of bounds memory accesses, potentially
resulting in one or more of privilege escalation, Denial of Service
(DoS), or information leaks (bsc#1105026).
- CVE-2018-10853: It was found that the KVM hypervisor emulated
instructions did not check current privilege(CPL) level while emulating
unprivileged instructions. An unprivileged guest user/process could use
this flaw to potentially escalate privileges inside guest (bsc#1097108).
