Piotr Gabriel Kosinski and Daniel Shapira discovered a stack-based buffer overflow in the CDROM driver implementation of the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. Jann Horn discovered that the ext4 filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly keep xattr information consistent in some situations. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious ext4 image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. Various other issues have also been addressed.
0b4cb189d586aa4429e71fb9b98e664320f3da97740056519640d0e0b2c10d5fUbuntu Security Notice 3752-3 - It was discovered that, when attempting to handle an out-of-memory situation, a null pointer dereference could be triggered in the Linux kernel in some circumstances. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Wen Xu discovered that the XFS filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate meta-data information. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious xfs image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.

A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information or possibly elevate privileges. Wen Xu discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the ext4 filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious ext4 image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.
