CVE-2016-10147

crypto/mcryptd.c en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 4.8.15 permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (referencia a puntero NULL y caída del sistema) usando un socket AF_ALG con un algoritmo incompatible, según lo demostrado por mcryptd(md5).

Algorithms not compatible with mcryptd could be spawned by mcryptd with a direct crypto_alloc_tfm invocation using a "mcryptd(alg)" name construct. This causes mcryptd to crash the kernel if an arbitrary "alg" is incompatible and not intended to be used with mcryptd.

The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements. Security Fix: An use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel which enables a race condition in the L2TPv3 IP Encapsulation feature. A local user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges or crash the system. A flaw was found that can be triggered in keyring_search_iterator in keyring.c if type->match is NULL. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges.
