Debian LTS DLA-1930-1: Critical Linux Security Update Issues

debian lts
Calendar Grey September 25, 2019
Dist Debian Esm H88
Numerous revisions for the Linux software have been released to rectify security concerns related to privilege escalation and denial of service risks.
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks

Summary

A race condition was discovered in the GFS2 file-system
implementation, which could lead to a use-after-free. On a system
using GFS2, a local attacker could use this for denial of service
(memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2018-20976

It was discovered that the XFS file-system implementation did not
correctly handle some mount failure conditions, which could lead
to a use-after-free. The security impact of this is unclear.

CVE-2018-21008

It was discovered that the rsi wifi driver did not correctly
handle some failure conditions, which could lead to a use-after- free. The security impact of this is unclear.

CVE-2019-0136

It was discovered that the wifi soft-MAC implementation (mac80211)
did not properly authenticate Tunneled Direct Link Setup (TDLS)
messages. A nearby attacker could use this for denial of service
(loss of wifi connectivity).

CVE-2019-9506
