Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-3676-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux, linux-aws, linux-kvm, linux-raspi2, linux-snapdragon' package(s) announced via the USN-3676-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux, linux-aws, linux-kvm, linux-raspi2, linux-snapdragon' package(s) announced via the USN-3676-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Wen Xu discovered that the ext4 filesystem implementation in the Linux
kernel did not properly handle corrupted meta data in some situations. An
attacker could use this to specially craft an ext4 filesystem that caused
a denial of service (system crash) when mounted. (CVE-2018-1092,
CVE-2018-1093)

It was discovered that the cdrom driver in the Linux kernel contained an
incorrect bounds check. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive
information (kernel memory). (CVE-2018-10940)

It was discovered that the 802.11 software simulator implementation in the
Linux kernel contained a memory leak when handling certain error
conditions. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of
service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2018-8087)

Affected Software/OS:
'linux, linux-aws, linux-kvm, linux-raspi2, linux-snapdragon' package(s) on Ubuntu 16.04.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
