kernel packages fix security vulnerabilities","description":"This kernel update provides an upgrade to the upstream 4.4 longterm kernel\nseries, currently based on 4.4.13 and resolves at least the following\nsecurity issues:\n\nThe Linux kernel before 4.4.1 allows local users to bypass file-descriptor\nlimits and cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by sending each\ndescriptor over a UNIX socket before closing it, related to \nnet/unix/af_unix.c and net/unix/garbage.c (CVE-2013-4312).\n\ndrivers/usb/serial/whiteheat.c in the Linux kernel before 4.2.4 allows\nphysically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer\ndereference and OOPS) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a\ncrafted USB device (CVE-2015-5257).\n\nThe KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.2.6, and Xen 4.3.x through\n4.6.x, allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS panic or\nhang) by triggering many #AC (aka Alignment Check) exceptions, related to\nsvm.c and vmx.c (CVE-2015-5307).\n\nAn out-of-bounds memory read was found, affecting kernels from 4.3-rc1\nonwards. This vulnerability was caused by incorrect X.509 time validation\nin x509_decode_time() function in x509_cert_parser.c (CVE-2015-5327).\n\nThe __rds_conn_create function in net/rds/connection.c in the Linux kernel\nthrough 4.2.3 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer\ndereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by\nusing a socket that was not properly bound (CVE-2015-6937).\n\nThe keyctl_read_key function in security/keys/keyctl.c in the Linux kernel\nbefore 4.3.4 does not properly use a semaphore, which allows local users\nto cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash)\nor possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted application that\nleverages a race condition between keyctl_revoke and keyctl_read calls\n(CVE-2015-7550).\n\nThe slhc_init function in drivers/net/slip/slhc.c in the Linux kernel\nthrough 4.2.3 does not ensure that certain slot numbers are valid, which\nallows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference\nand system crash) via a crafted PPPIOCSMAXCID ioctl call (CVE-2015-7799).\n\nThe KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.2.6, and Xen 4.3.x through\n4.6.x, allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS panic\nor hang) by triggering many #DB (aka Debug) exceptions, related to svm.c\n(CVE-2015-8104).\n\nThe networking implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.3.3, as used\nin Android and other products, does not validate protocol identifiers for\ncertain protocol families, which allows local users to cause a denial of\nservice (NULL function pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly\ngain privileges by leveraging CLONE_NEWUSER support to execute a crafted\nSOCK_RAW application (CVE-2015-8543).\n\nAn issue with ASN.1 DER decoder was reported that could lead to memory\ncorruptions, possible privilege escalation, or complete local denial\nof service via x509 certificate DER files (CVE-2016-0758).\n\nThe evm_verify_hmac function in security/integrity/evm/evm_main.c in the\nLinux kernel before 4.5 does not properly copy data, which makes it easier\nfor local users to forge MAC values via a timing side-channel attack\n(CVE-2016-2085).\n\nThe atl2_probe function in drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/atlx/atl2.c in the\nLinux kernel through 4.5.2 incorrectly enables scatter/gather I/O, which\nallows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory\nby reading packet data (CVE-2016-2117).\n\nThe mct_u232_msr_to_state function in drivers/usb/serial/mct_u232.c in the\nLinux kernel before 4.5.1 allows physically proximate attackers to cause a\ndenial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a crafted\nUSB device without two interrupt-in endpoint descriptors (CVE-2016-3136).\n\ndrivers/usb/serial/cypress_m8.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.1 allows\nphysically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer\ndereference and system crash) via a USB device without both an interrupt-in\nand an interrupt-out endpoint descriptor, related to the\ncypress_generic_port_probe and cypress_open functions (CVE-2016-3137).\n\nThe arch_pick_mmap_layout function in arch/x86/mm/mmap.c in the Linux\nkernel through 4.5.2 does not properly randomize the legacy base address,\nwhich makes it easier for local users to defeat the intended restrictions\non the ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE flag, and bypass the ASLR protection mechanism\nfor a setuid or setgid program, by disabling stack-consumption resource\nlimits (CVE-2016-3672).\n\nLinux kernel built with the Kernel-based Virtual Machine(CONFIG_KVM) with\nvariable Memory Type Range Registers(MTRR) support is vulnerable to an\nout-of-bounds r/w access issue.
