Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2017-0098)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel-tmb' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2017-0098 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel-tmb' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2017-0098 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
This kernel-tmb update is based on upstream 4.4.59 and fixes at least
the following security issue:

The xfrm_replay_verify_len function in net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c in the Linux
kernel through 4.10.6 does not validate certain size data after an
XFRM_MSG_NEWAE update, which allows local users to obtain root privileges
or cause a denial of service (heap-based out-of-bounds access) by
leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability (CVE-2017-7184).

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

Affected Software/OS:
'kernel-tmb' package(s) on Mageia 5.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
7.2
