Vasiliy Kulikov discovered that the Bluetooth stack did not correctly check that device name strings were NULL terminated. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system, leading to a denial of service, or leak contents of kernel stack memory, leading to a loss of privacy. It was discovered that the Linux kernel on ARM processors allowed a tracing process to modify a syscall after a seccomp decision had been made on that syscall. A local attacker could possibly use this to bypass seccomp restrictions. Various other issues were also addressed.
5d39e34bd8b180177429a30ccd754900Ubuntu Security Notice 4068-2 - USN-4068-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement kernel from Ubuntu 18.04 for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Adam Zabrocki discovered that the Intel i915 kernel mode graphics driver in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict mmap ranges 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.
f5fe64d4eb14a1ae9bfe582e0a11c93bUbuntu Security Notice 4068-1 - Adam Zabrocki discovered that the Intel i915 kernel mode graphics driver in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict mmap ranges in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that a race condition leading to a use-after-free existed in the Reliable Datagram Sockets protocol implementation in the Linux kernel. The RDS protocol is blacklisted by default in Ubuntu. If enabled, a local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.
bc5a5d2564a39eba34cfa7a32e3ae1c5Debian Linux Security Advisory 4465-1 - Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks.
a2e7d7ad8cd5265b8a90186bcd82ff4dUbuntu Security Notice 4008-3 - USN-4008-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement kernel from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS for Ubuntu 14.04 ESM. Robert Swiecki discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly apply Address Space Layout Randomization in some situations for setuid elf binaries. A local attacker could use this to improve the chances of exploiting an existing vulnerability in a setuid elf binary. Various other issues were also addressed.
db49ff8f595ab9c220359728c2fce6deUbuntu Security Notice 4008-2 - USN-4008-1 fixed multiple security issues in the Linux kernel. This update provides the corresponding changes to AppArmor policy for correctly operating under the Linux kernel with fixes for CVE-2019-11190. Without these changes, some profile transitions may be unintentionally denied due to missing mmap rules. Various other issues were also addressed.
c8882ea2860369fb404f12edb2a0d011Ubuntu Security Notice 4008-1 - Robert Swiecki discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly apply Address Space Layout Randomization in some situations for setuid elf binaries. A local attacker could use this to improve the chances of exploiting an existing vulnerability in a setuid elf binary. It was discovered that a null pointer dereference vulnerability existed in the LSI Logic MegaRAID driver in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.
