Security Fix(es) :

  • An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern microprocessor designs have implemented speculative execution of Load & Store instructions (a commonly used performance optimization). It relies on the presence of a precisely-defined instruction sequence in the privileged code as well as the fact that memory read from address to which a recent memory write has occurred may see an older value and subsequently cause an update into the microprocessor’s data cache even for speculatively executed instructions that never actually commit (retire). As a result, an unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to read privileged memory by conducting targeted cache side-channel attacks.
    (CVE-2018-3639, PowerPC)

  • kernel: net/packet: overflow in check for priv area size (CVE-2017-7308)

  • kernel: AIO interface didn’t use rw_verify_area() for checking mandatory locking on files and size of access (CVE-2012-6701)

  • kernel: AIO write triggers integer overflow in some protocols (CVE-2015-8830)

  • kernel: NULL pointer dereference via keyctl (CVE-2016-8650)

  • kernel: ping socket / AF_LLC connect() sin_family race (CVE-2017-2671)

  • kernel: Incorrect error handling in the set_mempolicy and mbind compat syscalls in mm/mempolicy.c (CVE-2017-7616)

  • kernel: mm subsystem does not properly enforce the CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM protection mechanism (CVE-2017-7889)

  • kernel: Double free in the inet_csk_clone_lock function in net/ipv4/inet_connection_sock.c (CVE-2017-8890)
