This update for the Linux Kernel 4.4.90-92_50 fixes several issues.

The following security issue was fixed:

  • CVE-2017-18075: crypto/pcrypt.c in the Linux kernel mishandled freeing
    instances, allowing a local user able to access the AF_ALG-based AEAD
    interface (CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_AEAD) and pcrypt
    (CONFIG_CRYPTO_PCRYPT) to cause a denial of service (kfree of an
    incorrect pointer) or possibly have unspecified other impact by
    executing a crafted sequence of system calls (bsc#1077404).

Non-security issue fixed:

  • btrfs: account for pinned bytes in should_alloc_chunk (bsc#1077268)
