SUSE-SU-2019:1581-1 Security update for the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 6 for SLE 15)

This update for the Linux Kernel 4.12.14-2522 fixes several issues. The following security issues were fixed: - CVE-2019-3846: A flaw that allowed an attacker to corrupt memory and possibly escalate privileges was found in the mwifiex kernel module while connecting to a malicious wireless network...

DEBIAN-CVE-2019-11478

Jonathan Looney discovered that the TCP retransmission queue implementation in tcpfragment in the Linux kernel could be fragmented when handling certain TCP Selective Acknowledgment SACK sequences. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. This has been fixed in stable kernel...

DEBIAN-CVE-2019-11479

Jonathan Looney discovered that the Linux kernel default MSS is hard-coded to 48 bytes. This allows a remote peer to fragment TCP resend queues significantly more than if a larger MSS were enforced. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. This has been fixed in stable kerne...

SUSE SLED15 / SLES15 Security Update : kernel (SUSE-SU-2019:1550-1) (MDSUM/RIDL) (MFBDS/RIDL/ZombieLoad) (MLPDS/RIDL) (MSBDS/Fallout) (SACK Panic) (SACK Slowness) (Spectre)

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP1 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed : CVE-2019-12819: The function mdiobusregister called putdevice, which triggered a fixedmdiobusinit use-after-free. This would cause a denial of service. bsc1138291...

TCP SACK Panic - Linux Kernel Vulnerability

Jonathan Looney discovered that the Linux kernel default MSS is hard-coded to 48 bytes. This allows a remote peer to fragment TCP resend queues significantly more than if a larger MSS were enforced. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. This has been fixed in stable kerne...

SUSE SLED12 / SLES12 Security Update : kernel (SUSE-SU-2019:1530-1) (SACK Panic) (SACK Slowness)

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP4 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed : CVE-2019-11477: A sequence of SACKs may have been crafted such that one can trigger an integer overflow, leading to a kernel panic. CVE-2019-11478: It was possibl...

Kernel: tcp: excessive resource consumption while processing SACK blocks allows remote denial of service

An excessive resource consumption flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's networking subsystem processed TCP Selective Acknowledgment SACK segments. While processing SACK segments, the Linux kernel's socket buffer SKB data structure becomes fragmented, which leads to increased resource...
