Red Hat Security Advisory 2018-1854-01 - The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Issues addressed include bypass, denial of service, and null pointer vulnerabilities.
faa3521cba5ea132c14cf1c7356833641996e0d6d030838eba24714f4f797c11Ubuntu Security Notice 3583-2 - USN-3583-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement kernel from Ubuntu 14.04 LTS for Ubuntu 12.04 ESM. It was discovered that an out-of-bounds write vulnerability existed in the Flash-Friendly File System in the Linux kernel. An attacker could construct a malicious file system that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.

An attacker could construct a malicious file system that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that a race condition leading to a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the ALSA PCM subsystem of the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.
c97e450d76e9b8840d64e1081483c6c94471a1697c00daa71cb7174818ece0d4Red Hat Security Advisory 2017-2669-01 - The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements. Security Fix: A race condition was found in the Linux kernel, present since v3.14-rc1 through v4.12. The race happens between threads of inotify_handle_event() and vfs_rename() while running the rename operation against the same file. As a result of the race the next slab data or the slab's free list pointer can be corrupted with attacker-controlled data, which may lead to the privilege escalation.

Security Fix: An use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel which enables a race condition in the L2TPv3 IP Encapsulation feature. A local user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges or crash the system. A flaw was found that can be triggered in keyring_search_iterator in keyring.c if type->match is NULL. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges.

This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement kernel from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. It was discovered that the netfilter netlink implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate batch messages. A local attacker with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability could use this to expose sensitive information or cause a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.

A local attacker with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability could use this to expose sensitive information or cause a denial of service. Qian Zhang discovered a heap-based buffer overflow in the tipc_msg_build function in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code with administrative privileges. Various other issues were also addressed.

A privileged local attacker could use this to bypass module verification. It was discovered that a buffer overflow existed in the trace subsystem in the Linux kernel. A privileged local attacker could use this to execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.
