Package : linux
CVE ID : CVE-2015-1333 CVE-2015-3212 CVE-2015-4692 CVE-2015-4700
CVE-2015-5364 CVE-2015-5366 CVE-2015-5697 CVE-2015-5706
CVE-2015-5707

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

CVE-2015-1333

Colin Ian King discovered a flaw in the add_key function of the
Linux kernel's keyring subsystem. A local user can exploit this flaw
to cause a denial of service due to memory exhaustion.

CVE-2015-3212

Ji Jianwen of Red Hat Engineering discovered a flaw in the handling
of the SCTPs automatic handling of dynamic multi-homed connections.
A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a crash or potentially
for privilege escalation.

CVE-2015-4692

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the
kvm_apic_has_events function in the KVM subsystem. A unprivileged
local user could exploit this flaw to crash the system kernel
resulting in denial of service.

CVE-2015-4700

Daniel Borkmann discovered a flaw in the Linux kernel implementation
of the Berkeley Packet Filter which can be used by a local user to
crash the system.

CVE-2015-5364

It was discovered that the Linux kernel does not properly handle
invalid UDP checksums. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw to
cause a denial of service using a flood of UDP packets with invalid
checksums.

CVE-2015-5366

It was discovered that the Linux kernel does not properly handle
invalid UDP checksums. A remote attacker can cause a denial of
service against applications that use epoll by injecting a single
packet with an invalid checksum.

CVE-2015-5697

A flaw was discovered in the md driver in the Linux kernel leading
to an information leak.

CVE-2015-5706

An user triggerable use-after-free vulnerability in path lookup in
the Linux kernel could potentially lead to privilege escalation.

CVE-2015-5707

An integer overflow in the SCSI generic driver in the Linux kernel
was discovered. A local user with write permission on a SCSI generic
device could potentially exploit this flaw for privilege escalation.

For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed
in version 3.2.68-1+deb7u3. CVE-2015-1333, CVE-2015-4692 and
CVE-2015-5706 do not affect the wheezy distribution.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in
version 3.16.7-ckt11-1+deb8u3, except CVE-2015-5364 and CVE-2015-5366
which were fixed already in DSA-3313-1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 4.1.3-1 or earlier versions.

We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.
