RHSA-2018:3459: Important: kernel security, bug fix, and enhancement update

First published: Tue Nov 06 2018(Updated: )

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.<br>Security Fix(es):<br><li> A flaw named FragmentSmack was found in the way the Linux kernel handled reassembly of fragmented IPv4 and IPv6 packets. A remote attacker could use this flaw to trigger time and calculation expensive fragment reassembly algorithm by sending specially crafted packets which could lead to a CPU saturation and hence a denial of service on the system. (CVE-2018-5391)</li> <li> kernel: out-of-bounds access in the show_timer function in kernel/time/posix-timers.c (CVE-2017-18344)</li> For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.<br>Red Hat would like to thank Juha-Matti Tilli (Aalto University - Department of Communications and Networking and Nokia Bell Labs) for reporting CVE-2018-5391.<br>Bug Fix(es):<br>These updated kernel packages include also numerous bug fixes. Space precludes documenting all of the bug fixes in this advisory.
