USN-3821-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Wen Xu discovered that the ext4 filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly ensure that xattr information remained in inode bodies. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious ext4 image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service system crash. CVE-2018-10880 It...

CVE-2018-14657

Keycloak 4.2.1.Final and 4.3.0.Final are affected by CVE-2018-14657. The root cause is an improper implementation of brute force detection when TOPT is enabled, resulting in the login protection not being enforced. Impact described across connected sources indicates brute force protection may not...

Flaws in Popular Self-Encrypting SSDs Let Attackers Decrypt Data

We all have something to hide, something to protect. But if you are also relying on self-encrypting drives for that, then you should read this news carefully. Security researchers have discovered multiple critical vulnerabilities in some of the popular self-encrypting solid state drives SSD that...

kernel: HMAC implementation does not validate that the underlying cryptographic hash algorithm is unkeyed allowing local attackers to cause denial-of-service

The HMAC implementation crypto/hmac.c in the Linux kernel, before 4.14.8, does not validate that the underlying cryptographic hash algorithm is unkeyed. This allows a local attacker, able to use the AFALG-based hash interface CONFIGCRYPTOUSERAPIHASH and the SHA-3 hash algorithm CONFIGCRYPTOSHA3, ...
