Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that
may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information
leaks.

CVE-2017-5715

Multiple researchers have discovered a vulnerability in various
processors supporting speculative execution, enabling an attacker
controlling an unprivileged process to read memory from arbitrary
addresses, including from the kernel and all other processes
running on the system.

This specific attack has been named Spectre variant 2 (branch
target injection) and is mitigated for the x86 architecture (amd64
and i386) by using the "retpoline" compiler feature which allows
indirect branches to be isolated from speculative execution.

CVE-2017-5753

Multiple researchers have discovered a vulnerability in various
processors supporting speculative execution, enabling an attacker
controlling an unprivileged process to read memory from arbitrary
addresses, including from the kernel and all other processes
running on the system.

This specific attack has been named Spectre variant 1
(bounds-check bypass) and is mitigated by identifying vulnerable
code sections (array bounds checking followed by array access) and
replacing the array access with the speculation-safe
array_index_nospec() function.

More use sites will be added over time.

CVE-2017-17975

Tuba Yavuz reported a use-after-free flaw in the USBTV007
audio-video grabber driver. A local user could use this for denial
of service by triggering failure of audio registration.

CVE-2017-18193

Yunlei He reported that the f2fs implementation does not properly
handle extent trees, allowing a local user to cause a denial of
service via an application with multiple threads.

CVE-2017-18216

Alex Chen reported that the OCFS2 filesystem failed to hold a
necessary lock during nodemanager sysfs file operations,
potentially leading to a null pointer dereference. A local user
could use this for denial of service.

CVE-2017-18218

Jun He reported a user-after-free flaw in the Hisilicon HNS ethernet
driver. A local user could use this for denial of service.

CVE-2017-18222

It was reported that the Hisilicon Network Subsystem (HNS) driver
implementation does not properly handle ethtool private flags. A
local user could use this for denial of service or possibly have
other impact.

CVE-2017-18224

Alex Chen reported that the OCFS2 filesystem omits the use of a
semaphore and consequently has a race condition for access to the
extent tree during read operations in DIRECT mode. A local user
could use this for denial of service.

CVE-2017-18241

Yunlei He reported that the f2fs implementation does not properly
initialise its state if the "noflush_merge" mount option is used.
A local user with access to a filesystem mounted with this option
could use this to cause a denial of service.

CVE-2017-18257

It was reported that the f2fs implementation is prone to an infinite
loop caused by an integer overflow in the __get_data_block()
function. A local user can use this for denial of service via
crafted use of the open and fallocate system calls with an
FS_IOC_FIEMAP ioctl.

CVE-2018-1065

The syzkaller tool found a NULL pointer dereference flaw in the
netfilter subsystem when handling certain malformed iptables
rulesets. A local user with the CAP_NET_RAW or CAP_NET_ADMIN
capability (in any user namespace) could use this to cause a denial
of service. Debian disables unprivileged user namespaces by default.

CVE-2018-1066

Dan Aloni reported to Red Hat that the CIFS client implementation
would dereference a null pointer if the server sent an invalid
response during NTLMSSP setup negotiation. This could be used
by a malicious server for denial of service.

CVE-2018-1068

The syzkaller tool found that the 32-bit compatibility layer of
ebtables did not sufficiently validate offset values. On a 64-bit
kernel, a local user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability (in any user
namespace) could use this to overwrite kernel memory, possibly
leading to privilege escalation. Debian disables unprivileged user
namespaces by default.

CVE-2018-1092

Wen Xu reported that a crafted ext4 filesystem image would
trigger a null dereference when mounted. A local user able
to mount arbitrary filesystems could use this for denial of
service.

CVE-2018-1093

Wen Xu reported that a crafted ext4 filesystem image could trigger
an out-of-bounds read in the ext4_valid_block_bitmap() function. A
local user able to mount arbitrary filesystems could use this for
denial of service.

CVE-2018-1108

Jann Horn reported that crng_ready() does not properly handle the
crng_init variable states and the RNG could be treated as
cryptographically safe too early after system boot.

CVE-2018-5803

Alexey Kodanev reported that the SCTP protocol did not range-check
