Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2019.0120
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2019-0120)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel, kernel-userspace-headers, kmod-vboxadditions, kmod-virtualbox, kmod-xtables-addons, wireguard-tools' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2019-0120 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel, kernel-userspace-headers, kmod-vboxadditions, kmod-virtualbox, kmod-xtables-addons, wireguard-tools' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2019-0120 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
This kernel update is based on the upstream 4.14.106 and fixes at least
the following security issue:

In the Linux kernel before 4.20.14, expand_downwards in mm/mmap.c lacks
a check for the mmap minimum address, which makes it easier for attackers
to exploit kernel NULL pointer dereferences on non-SMAP platforms. This is
related to a capability check for the wrong task (CVE-2019-9213).

It also adds a preparatory fix for Skylake systems that will receive a
microcode update at a later date to address a TSX errata.

WireGuard has been updated to 0.0.20190227.

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

Affected Software/OS:
'kernel, kernel-userspace-headers, kmod-vboxadditions, kmod-virtualbox, kmod-xtables-addons, wireguard-tools' package(s) on Mageia 6.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
