Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2908-4
February 26, 2016

linux regression
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

– Ubuntu 15.10

Summary:

USN-2908-1 introduced a regression in the Linux kernel.

Software Description:
– linux: Linux kernel

Details:

USN-2908-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu
15.10. An incorrect locking fix caused a regression that broke
graphics displays for Ubuntu 15.10 guests running within VMWare
virtual machines. This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

halfdog discovered that OverlayFS, when mounting on top of a FUSE mount,
incorrectly propagated file attributes, including setuid. A local
unprivileged attacker could use this to gain privileges. (CVE-2016-1576)

halfdog discovered that OverlayFS in the Linux kernel incorrectly
propagated security sensitive extended attributes, such as POSIX ACLs. A
local unprivileged attacker could use this to gain privileges.
(CVE-2016-1575)

It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly enforce rlimits
for file descriptors sent over UNIX domain sockets. A local attacker could
use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2013-4312)

It was discovered that the Linux kernel’s Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE)
implementation did not handle initial zero length segments properly. A
local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (unkillable
task). (CVE-2015-8785)

Andy Lutomirski discovered a race condition in the Linux kernel’s
translation lookaside buffer (TLB) handling of flush events. A local
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly leak
sensitive information. (CVE-2016-2069)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 15.10:
linux-image-4.2.0-30-generic 4.2.0-30.36
linux-image-4.2.0-30-generic-lpae 4.2.0-30.36
linux-image-4.2.0-30-lowlatency 4.2.0-30.36
linux-image-4.2.0-30-powerpc-e500mc 4.2.0-30.36
linux-image-4.2.0-30-powerpc-smp 4.2.0-30.36
linux-image-4.2.0-30-powerpc64-emb 4.2.0-30.36
linux-image-4.2.0-30-powerpc64-smp 4.2.0-30.36

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.

linux-lts-vivid regression
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

– Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

USN-2910-1 introduced a regression in the Ubuntu 15.04 Linux kernel
backported to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

Software Description:
– linux-lts-vivid: Linux hardware enablement kernel from Vivid for Trusty

Details:

USN-2910-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Ubuntu 15.04 Linux kernel
backported to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. An incorrect locking fix caused a
regression that broke graphics displays for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS guests
running the Ubuntu 15.04 backport kernel within VMWare virtual

Original advisory details:

halfdog discovered that OverlayFS, when mounting on top of a FUSE mount,
incorrectly propagated file attributes, including setuid. A local
unprivileged attacker could use this to gain privileges. (CVE-2016-1576)

halfdog discovered that OverlayFS in the Linux kernel incorrectly
propagated security sensitive extended attributes, such as POSIX ACLs. A
local unprivileged attacker could use this to gain privileges.
(CVE-2016-1575)

It was discovered that the Linux kernel keyring subsystem contained a race
between read and revoke operations. A local attacker could use this to
cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2015-7550)

郭永刚 discovered that the Linux kernel networking implementation did
not validate protocol identifiers for certain protocol families, A local
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or
possibly gain administrative privileges. (CVE-2015-8543)

Dmitry Vyukov discovered that the pptp implementation in the Linux kernel
did not verify an address length when setting up a socket. A local attacker
could use this to craft an application that exposed sensitive information
from kernel memory. (CVE-2015-8569)

David Miller discovered that the Bluetooth implementation in the Linux
kernel did not properly validate the socket address length for Synchronous
Connection-Oriented (SCO) sockets. A local attacker could use this to
expose sensitive information. (CVE-2015-8575)

It was discovered that the Linux kernel’s Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE)
implementation did not handle initial zero length segments properly. A
local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (unkillable
task). (CVE-2015-8785)
