Summary
linux-hwe, linux-azure vulnerabilities
Details

USN-3903-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 18.10. This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernel from Ubuntu 18.10 for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Jason Wang discovered that the vhost net driver in the Linux kernel contained an out of bounds write vulnerability. An attacker in a guest virtual machine could use this to cause a denial of service (host system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code in the host kernel. (CVE-2018-16880)

Jann Horn discovered that the userfaultd implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict access to certain ioctls. A local attacker could use this possibly to modify files. (CVE-2018-18397)

Jann Horn discovered a race condition in the fork() system call in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to gain access to services that cache authorizations. (CVE-2019-6133)

An attacker in a guest\nvirtual machine could use this to cause a denial of service (host system\ncrash) or possibly execute arbitrary code in the host kernel.\n(CVE-2018-16880)\n\nJann Horn discovered that the userfaultd implementation in the Linux kernel\ndid not properly restrict access to certain ioctls. A local attacker could\nuse this possibly to modify files. (CVE-2018-18397)\n\nJann Horn discovered a race condition in the fork() system call in the\nLinux kernel.

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.
