Calendar Grey February 3, 2020
Dist Ubuntu Esm H88
=========================================================================Kernel Live Patch Security
Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.

Summary

Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.

Software Description:

- linux: Linux kernel

Details:

It was discovered that the binder IPC implementation in the Linux kernel

did not properly perform bounds checking in some situations, leading to an

out-of-bounds write. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of

service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-2214)

It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly clear data

structures on context switches for certain Intel graphics processors. A

local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information.

(CVE-2019-14615)

It was discovered that a heap-based buffer overflow existed in the Marvell

WiFi-Ex Driver for the Linux kernel. A physically proximate attacker could

use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute

arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-14895)

It was discovered that a heap-based buffer overflow existed in the Marvell

Libertas WLAN Driver for the Linux ker...
