Debian DLA-654-1 : libxfixes security update

It was discovered that there was a integer overflow in libxfixes, a library providing a client interface to the X11 'XFIXES' extension. The 32 bit field 'rep.length' was not checked for validity, which allowed an integer overflow on 32 bit systems. A malicious server could send INTMAX as 'length'...

Microsoft Windows Kernel 'Win32k.sys' CVE-2016-7185 Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

kernel: compat IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE setsockopt

A flaw was discovered in processing setsockopt for 32 bit processes on 64 bit systems. This flaw will allow attackers to alter arbitrary kernel memory when unloading a kernel module. This action is usually restricted to root-privileged users but can also be leveraged if the kernel is compiled wit...

x86: Disallow L3 recursive pagetable for 32-bit PV guests

ISSUE DESCRIPTION On real hardware, a 32-bit PAE guest must leave the USER and RW bit clear in L3 pagetable entries, but the pagetable walk behaves as if they were set. The L3 entries are cached in processor registers, and don't actually form part of the pagewalk. When running a 32-bit PV guest o...
