kernel: A memory leak in the sdma_init() function in drivers/infiniband/hw/hfi1/sdma.c allows for a DoS

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. The Intel OPA Gen1 driver mishandles resource cleanup. An attacker able to induce low memory condition on the system could use this flaw to crash the system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability...

USN-4226-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Michael Hanselmann discovered that the CIFS implementation in the Linux kernel did not sanitize paths returned by an SMB server. An attacker controlling an SMB server could use this to overwrite arbitrary files. CVE-2019-10220 It was discovered that a heap-based buffer overflow existed in the...

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS : Linux kernel vulnerabilities (USN-4210-1)

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4210-1 advisory. It was discovered that a buffer overflow existed in the 802.11 Wi-Fi configuration interface for the Linux kernel when handling beacon...

USN-4208-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Jann Horn discovered that the OverlayFS and ShiftFS Drivers in the Linux kernel did not properly handle reference counting during memory mapping operations when used in conjunction with AUFS. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service system crash or possibly execute arbitrary...
