Red Hat Security Advisory 2019-3517-01 - The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Issues addressed include denial of service, heap overflow, information leakage, and use-after-free vulnerabilities.
6d1ca3b131a0815a02a22b4f2f5f2856Red Hat Security Advisory 2019-3309-01 - The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements. Issues addressed include denial of service, heap overflow, information leakage, null pointer, and use-after-free vulnerabilities.
a0f2e867941fc69f77f5654ca781bae3It was discovered that a race condition existed in the GFS2 file system in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). It was discovered that a use-after-free error existed in the block layer subsystem of the Linux kernel when certain failure conditions occurred. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.
aa1b2d5e0e41264715ab20ee76ffa47dUbuntu Security Notice 4147-1 - It was discovered that the Intel Wi-Fi device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly validate certain Tunneled Direct Link Setup. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the Bluetooth UART implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly check for missing tty operations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.
9b6a21a8a4483fda16543f89ef6b5f9bUbuntu Security Notice 4145-1 - It was discovered that a race condition existed in the GFS2 file system in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the IPv6 implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate socket options in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.
ea50ef6fe5c28f797b35ddfa61c716dcUbuntu Security Notice 4115-2 - USN 4115-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux 4.15 kernel for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Unfortunately, as part of the update, a regression was introduced that caused a kernel crash when handling fragmented packets in some situations. This update addresses the issue. Various other issues were also addressed.
f3c403ca6993818b3a6b46a2dc892b23It was discovered that a use-after-free error existed in the block layer subsystem of the Linux kernel when certain failure conditions occurred. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that the Bluetooth UART implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly check for missing tty operations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.
024d77eed49a23432c14adc8f067c9adUbuntu Security Notice 4118-1 - It was discovered that the alarmtimer implementation in the Linux kernel contained an integer overflow vulnerability. 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 track inode validations. 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.
606239d761ad7f615ccb6ead5cc82c96Ubuntu Security Notice 4115-1 - Hui Peng and Mathias Payer discovered that the Option USB High Speed driver in the Linux kernel did not properly validate metadata received from the device. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Zhipeng Xie discovered that an infinite loop could triggered in the CFS Linux kernel process scheduler. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.
d33b91a9062e22127c5fc65115ec33feSlackware Security Advisory - New kernel packages are available for Slackware 14.2 to fix security issues.
daa3ad79be18eef89b1ffad6c631278eDebian Linux Security Advisory 4497-1 - Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks.
5cbc4a8b5b504c3bf0d4fe88ab472dd3Debian Linux Security Advisory 4495-1 - Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks.
