Kernel Live Patch Security Notice LSN-0031-1
October 10, 2017
linux vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu:
| Series | Base kernel | Arch | flavors |
|------------------+--------------+----------+------------------|
| Ubuntu 16.04 LTS | 4.4.0 | amd64 | generic |
| Ubuntu 16.04 LTS | 4.4.0 | amd64 | lowlatency |
| Ubuntu 14.04 LTS | 4.4.0 | amd64 | generic |
| Ubuntu 14.04 LTS | 4.4.0 | amd64 | lowlatency |
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.
Software Description:
- - linux: Linux kernel
Details:
net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c in the Linux kernel through 4.12.3, when
CONFIG_XFRM_MIGRATE is enabled, does not ensure that the dir value of
xfrm_userpolicy_id is XFRM_POLICY_MAX or less, which allows local users to
cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds access) or possibly have unspecified
other impact via an XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE xfrm Netlink message. (CVE-2017-11600)
Andrey Konovalov discovered that a divide-by-zero error existed in the TCP
stack implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this
to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2017-14106)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your livepatches to the following
versions:
