Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2017.0149
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2017-0149)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel, kernel-userspace-headers, kmod-vboxadditions, kmod-virtualbox, kmod-xtables-addons' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2017-0149 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel, kernel-userspace-headers, kmod-vboxadditions, kmod-virtualbox, kmod-xtables-addons' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2017-0149 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
This kernel update is based on upstream 4.4.68 and fixes at least
the following security issues:

The NFSv2/NFSv3 server in the nfsd subsystem in the Linux kernel through
4.10.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash)
via a long RPC reply, related to net/sunrpc/svc.c, fs/nfsd/nfs3xdr.c, and
fs/nfsd/nfsxdr.c (CVE-2017-7645).

The NFSv2 and NFSv3 server implementations in the Linux kernel through
4.10.13 lack certain checks for the end of a buffer, which allows remote
attackers to trigger pointer-arithmetic errors or possibly have unspecified
other impact via crafted requests, related to fs/nfsd/nfs3xdr.c and
fs/nfsd/nfsxdr.c (CVE-2017-7895).

For other upstream fixes in this update, see the referenced changelogs.

Affected Software/OS:
'kernel, kernel-userspace-headers, kmod-vboxadditions, kmod-virtualbox, kmod-xtables-addons' package(s) on Mageia 5.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
