Descriptions
The tipc_nl_publ_dump function in net/tipc/socket.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6 does not verify socket existence, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a dumpit operation.
La función tipc_nl_publ_dump en net/tipc/socket.c en el kernel de Linux hasta la versión 4.6 no verifica la existencia del socket, lo que permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (referencia a puntero NULL y caída de sistema) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de una operación dumpit.
USN-3016-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernel from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Jesse Hertz and Tim Newsham discovered that the Linux netfilter implementation did not correctly perform validation when handling 32 bit compatibility IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE events on 64 bit platforms. A local unprivileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code with administrative privileges. Various other issues were also addressed.
