MGASA-2019-0195 Updated kernel packages fix security vulnerability

This kernel update is based on the upstream 4.14.127 and fixes at least the following security issues: Jonathan Looney discovered that it is possible to send a crafted sequence of SACKs which will fragment the RACK send map. An attacker may be able to further exploit the fragmented send map to...

The vulnerability of the TCP Selective Acknowledgment mechanism in the Linux operating system allows a hacker to trigger a service failure.

The vulnerability of the TCP Selective Acknowledgment mechanism in the Linux operating system arises due to a segmentation error in the retransmission queue. Exploiting this vulnerability allows an attacker to cause a service failure by sending a specially crafted sequence of SACK packets...

CVE-2019-11477

Jonathan Looney discovered that the TCPSKBCBskb-tcpgsosegs value was subject to an integer overflow in the Linux kernel when handling TCP Selective Acknowledgments SACKs. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. This has been fixed in stable kernel releases 4.4.182, 4.9.182,...

Integer overflow

Jonathan Looney discovered that the TCPSKBCBskb-tcpgsosegs value was subject to an integer overflow in the Linux kernel when handling TCP Selective Acknowledgments SACKs. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. This has been fixed in stable kernel releases 4.4.182, 4.9.182,...

CVE-2019-11477 Integer overflow in TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_gso_segs

Jonathan Looney discovered that the TCPSKBCBskb-tcpgsosegs value was subject to an integer overflow in the Linux kernel when handling TCP Selective Acknowledgments SACKs. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. This has been fixed in stable kernel releases 4.4.182, 4.9.182,...

TCP SACK Panic - Linux Kernel Vulnerability

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...

Vulnerabilities fixed in Linux kernel (SACK PANIC)

Netflix has identified a number of vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel. A malicious party could potentially exploit them to cause a denial-of-service. The vulnerabilities relate to the "minimum segment size" MMS and TCP Selective Acknowledgement SACK capabilities. The most serious of these...

Oracle Linux 5 / 6 : Unbreakable Enterprise kernel (ELSA-2019-4689)

The remote Oracle Linux 5 / 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2019-4689 advisory. - tcp: enforce tcpminsndmss in tcpmtuprobing Eric Dumazet Orabug: 29886601 CVE-2019-11477 - tcp: add tcpminsndmss sysctl Eric Dumazet Orabug:...

Debian DLA-1823-1 : linux security update (SACK Panic) (SACK Slowness)

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks. CVE-2019-3846, CVE-2019-10126 huangwen reported multiple buffer overflows in the Marvell wifi mwifiex driver, which a local user could use to cause...

Linux kernel denial of service vulnerability (CNVD-2019-18512)

Linux kernel is the kernel used by Linux, the open source operating system released by the Linux Foundation in the United States. A resource management error vulnerability exists in the way the network subsystem in the Linux kernel handles the TCP Selective Acknowledgment fragment. An attacker...

Kernel: tcp: integer overflow while processing SACK blocks allows remote denial of service

An integer overflow 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. Each fragment is about TCP maximum segment size MSS...
