EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 3.0.1.0 : kernel (EulerOS-SA-2019-1535)

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities : - The imspcugetcdcuniondesc function in drivers/input/misc/ims-pcu.c in the Linux kernel, through 4.13.11, allows local...

Denial Of Service (DoS)

Linux kernel is vulnerable to denial of service DOS attacks. This is because the NFSv4 server in the Linux kernel does not properly validate layout type when processing NFSv4 pNFS LAYOUTGET and GETDEVICEINFO operands. A remote attacker could use this flaw to soft-lockup the system and thus cause ...

Denial Of Service (DoS)

The kernel-rt packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's XFS file system handled replacing of remote attributes under certain conditions. A local user with access to XFS file system mount could potentially use this fla...
