USN-4210-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities
3 December 2019
linux, linux-aws, linux-aws-hwe, linux-gcp, linux-gke-4.15, linux-hwe, linux-kvm, linux-oem, linux-oracle, linux-raspi2, linux-snapdragon vulnerabilities
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
o Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
o Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Summary
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Software Description
o linux - Linux kernel
o linux-aws - Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems
o linux-gke-4.15 - Linux kernel for Google Container Engine (GKE) systems
o linux-kvm - Linux kernel for cloud environments
o linux-oem - Linux kernel for OEM processors
o linux-oracle - Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems
o linux-raspi2 - Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi 2
o linux-snapdragon - Linux kernel for Snapdragon processors
o linux-aws-hwe - Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS-HWE) systems
o linux-gcp - Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems
o linux-hwe - Linux hardware enablement (HWE) kernel
Details
It was discovered that a buffer overflow existed in the 802.11 Wi-Fi
configuration interface for the Linux kernel when handling beacon settings. A
local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or
possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-16746)
Nicolas Waisman discovered that the WiFi driver stack in the Linux kernel did
not properly validate SSID lengths. A physically proximate attacker could use
this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2019-17133)
It was discovered that the ADIS16400 IIO IMU Driver for the Linux kernel did
not properly deallocate memory in certain error conditions. A local attacker
could use this to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion).
(CVE-2019-19060)
It was discovered that the Intel OPA Gen1 Infiniband Driver for the Linux
kernel did not properly deallocate memory in certain error conditions. A local
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion).
(CVE-2019-19065)
It was discovered that the Cascoda CA8210 SPI 802.15.4 wireless controller
driver for the Linux kernel did not properly deallocate memory in certain error
conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(memory exhaustion). (CVE-2019-19075)
Nicolas Waisman discovered that the Chelsio T4/T5 RDMA Driver for the Linux
kernel performed DMA from a kernel stack. A local attacker could use this to
cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2019-17075)

To update your system, please follow these instructions: https://
wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Upgrades .
After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the
necessary changes.
ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have been given
a new version number, which requires you to recompile and reinstall all third
party kernel modules you might have installed. Unless you manually uninstalled
the standard kernel metapackages (e.g. linux-generic,
linux-generic-lts-RELEASE, linux-virtual, linux-powerpc), a standard system
upgrade will automatically perform this as well.
