Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.. =========================================================================Kernel Live Patch Security Notice 0046-1 December 20, 2018 linux vulnerability ========================================================================= A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu: | Series | Base kernel | Arch | flavors | |------------------+--------------+----------+------------------| | Ubuntu 14.04 LTS | 4.4.0 | amd64 | generic | | Ubuntu 14.04 LTS | 4.4.0 | amd64 | lowlatency | | Ubuntu 16.04 LTS | 4.4.0 | amd64 | generic | | Ubuntu 16.04 LTS | 4.4.0 | amd64 | lowlatency | | Ubuntu 18.04 LTS | 4.15.0 | amd64 | generic | | Ubuntu 18.04 LTS | 4.15.0 | amd64 | lowlatency | Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the kernel. Software Description: - linux: Linux kernel Details: It was discovered that an integer overflow vulnerability existed in the CDRom driver of the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2018-18710) It was discovered that a race condition existed in the raw MIDI driver for the Linux kernel, leading to a double free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-10902) It was discovered that the BPF verifier in the Linux kernel did not correctly compute numeric bounds in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-18445) Noam Rathaus discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the Infiniband implementation in the Linux kernel. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2018-14734) Wen Xu discovered that the ext4 filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly ensure that xattr information remained ininode bodies. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious ext4 image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2018-10880) Kanda Motohiro discovered that writing extended attributes to an XFS file system in the Linux kernel in certain situations could cause an error condition to occur. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2018-18690) It was discovered that an integer overflow existed in the HID Bluetooth implementation in the Linux kernel that could lead to a buffer overwrite. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-9363) Jann Horn discovered that microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and branch prediction may allow unauthorized memory reads via sidechannel attacks. This flaw is known as Spectre. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information, including kernel memory. (CVE-2017-5753) It was discovered that the YUREX USB device driver for the Linux kernel did not properly restrict user space reads or writes. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-16276) It was discovered that an integer overflow existed in the CD-ROM driver of the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2018-16658) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your livepatches to the following versions: | Kernel | Version | flavors | |--------------------------+----------+--------------------------| | 4.4.0-133.159 | 46.3 | generic, lowlatency | | 4.4.0-133.159~14.04.1 | 46.3 | lowlatency, generic | | 4.4.0-134.160 | 46.3 | generic, lowlatency | | 4.4.0-134.160~14.04.1 | 46.3 | lowlatency, generic | | 4.4.0-135.161~14.04.1 | 46.3 | lowlatency, generic | | 4.4.0-137.163 | 46.3 | generic, lowlatency | | 4.4.0-137.163~14.04.1 | 46.3 | generic, lowlatency | | 4.4.0-138.164 | 46.3 | generic, lowlatency | | 4.4.0-138.164~14.04.1 | 46.3 | lowlatency, generic | | 4.4.0-139.165 | 46.3 | generic, lowlatency | | 4.4.0-139.165~14.04.1 | 46.3 | lowlatency, generic | | 4.4.0-140.166 | 46.3 | lowlatency, generic | | 4.4.0-140.166~14.04.1 | 46.3 | lowlatency, generic | | 4.15.0-32.35 | 46.3 | lowlatency, generic | | 4.15.0-33.36 | 46.3 | lowlatency, generic | | 4.15.0-34.37 | 46.3 | generic, lowlatency | | 4.15.0-36.39 | 46.3 | generic, lowlatency | | 4.15.0-38.41 | 46.3 | lowlatency, generic | | 4.15.0-39.42 | 46.3 | generic, lowlatency | | 4.15.0-42.45 | 46.3 | lowlatency, generic | References: CVE-2018-18710, CVE-2018-10902, CVE-2018-18445, CVE-2018-14734, CVE-2018-10880, CVE-2018-18690, CVE-2018-9363, CVE-2017-5753, CVE-2018-16276, CVE-2018-16658 -- ubuntu-security-announce mailing list
