CVE-2016-8646

La función hash_accept en crypto/algif_hash.c en el kernel Linux en versiones anteriores a 4.3.6 permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (OOPS) intentando desencadenar el uso de algoritmos hash in-kernel para un enchufe que ha recibido cero bytes de datos.

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel. An unprivileged local user could trigger oops in shash_async_export() by attempting to force the in-kernel hashing algorithms into decrypting an empty data set.

The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements. Security Fix: It was found that the packet_set_ring() function of the Linux kernel's networking implementation did not properly validate certain block-size data. A local attacker with CAP_NET_RAW capability could use this flaw to trigger a buffer overflow, resulting in the crash of the system. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out.
