CVE-2017-7895

Las implementaciones de los servidores NFSv2 y NFSv3 en versiones del kernel de Linux 4.10.13 y anteriores, no realizan ciertas comprobaciones de la parte final de un búfer lo que permitiría a atacantes remotos desencadenar errores de aritmética de punteros o provocar otro impacto inespecífico a través de peticiones especialmente diseñadas. Relacionado con fs/nfsd/nfs3xdr.c y fs/nfsd/nfsxdr.c.

The NFSv2 and NFSv3 server implementations in the Linux kernel through 4.10.13 lacked certain checks for the end of a buffer. A remote attacker could trigger a pointer-arithmetic error or possibly cause other unspecified impacts using crafted requests related to fs/nfsd/nfs3xdr.c and fs/nfsd/nfsxdr.c.

The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements. Security Fix: A flaw was found in the way memory was being allocated on the stack for user space binaries. If heap and stack memory regions were adjacent to each other, an attacker could use this flaw to jump over the stack guard gap, cause controlled memory corruption on process stack or the adjacent memory region, and thus increase their privileges on the system. This is a kernel-side mitigation which increases the stack guard gap size from one page to 1 MiB to make successful exploitation of this issue more difficult.
