[continued from previous message]
Kangjie Lu reported that the USB devio, llc, rtnetlink, ALSA
timer, x25, tipc, and rds facilities leaked information from the
kernel stack.
CVE-2016-4565
Jann Horn of Google Project Zero reported that various components
in the InfiniBand stack implemented unusual semantics for the
write() operation. On a system with InfiniBand drivers loaded,
local users could use this for denial of service or privilege
escalation.
CVE-2016-4581
Tycho Andersen discovered that in some situations the Linux kernel
did not handle propagated mounts correctly. A local user can take
advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash).
CVE-2016-4805
Baozeng Ding discovered a use-after-free in the generic PPP layer in
the Linux kernel. A local user can take advantage of this flaw to
cause a denial of service (system crash), or potentially escalate
their privileges.
CVE-2016-4913
Al Viro found that the ISO9660 filesystem implementation did not
correctly count the length of certain invalid name entries.
Reading a directory containing such name entries would leak
information from kernel memory. Users permitted to mount disks or
disk images could use this to obtain sensitive information.
CVE-2016-4997 / CVE-2016-4998
Jesse Hertz and Tim Newsham discovered that missing input sanitising
in Netfilter socket handling may result in denial of service. Debian
disables unprivileged user namespaces by default, if locally enabled
with the kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone sysctl, this also allows
privilege escalation.
For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in
version 3.16.7-ckt25-2+deb8u2.
We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.
