Description: The openSUSE Leap 42.2 kernel was updated to 4.4.56 fix various security issues and bugs. The following security bugs were fixed: - CVE-2017-7184: The xfrm_replay_verify_len function in net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c in the Linux kernel did not validate certain size data after an XFRM_MSG_NEWAE update, which allowed local users to obtain root privileges or cause a denial of service (heap-based out-of-bounds access) by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability, as demonstrated during a Pwn2Own competition at CanSecWest 2017 for the Ubuntu 16.10 linux-image-* package 4.8.0.41.52 (bnc#1030573). - CVE-2016-10200: Race condition in the L2TPv3 IP Encapsulation feature in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by making multiple bind system calls without properly ascertaining whether a socket has the SOCK_ZAPPED status, related to net/l2tp/l2tp_ip.c and net/l2tp/l2tp_ip6.c (bnc#1028415). - CVE-2017-2636: Race condition in drivers/tty/n_hdlc.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (double free) by setting the HDLC line discipline (bnc#1027565). - CVE-2017-6345: The LLC subsystem in the Linux kernel did not ensure that a certain destructor exists in required circumstances, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (BUG_ON) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted system calls (bnc#1027190). - CVE-2017-6346: Race condition in net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a multithreaded application that made PACKET_FANOUT setsockopt system calls (bnc#1027189). - CVE-2017-6353: net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict association peel-off operations during certain wait states, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (invalid unlock and double free) via a multithreaded application. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2017-5986 (bnc#1025235). - CVE-2017-6214: The tcp_splice_read function in net/ipv4/tcp.c in the Linux kernel allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and soft lockup) via vectors involving a TCP packet with the URG flag (bnc#1026722). - CVE-2016-2117: The atl2_probe function in drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/atlx/atl2.c in the Linux kernel incorrectly enables scatter/gather I/O, which allowed remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by reading packet data (bnc#968697). - CVE-2017-6347: The ip_cmsg_recv_checksum function in net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c in the Linux kernel has incorrect expectations about skb data layout, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted system calls, as demonstrated by use of the MSG_MORE flag in conjunction with loopback UDP transmission (bnc#1027179). - CVE-2016-9191: The cgroup offline implementation in the Linux kernel mishandled certain drain operations, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (system hang) by leveraging access to a container environment for executing a crafted application, as demonstrated by trinity (bnc#1008842). - CVE-2017-2596: The nested_vmx_check_vmptr function in arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel improperly emulates the VMXON instruction, which allowed KVM L1 guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS memory consumption) by leveraging the mishandling of page references (bnc#1022785). The following non-security bugs were fixed: - ACPI: Do not create a platform_device for IOAPIC/IOxAPIC (bsc#1028819). - ACPI, ioapic: Clear on-stack resource before using it (bsc#1028819). - ACPI: Remove platform devices from a bus on removal (bsc#1028819). -

openSUSE Security Update: Security update for the Linux Kernel ______________________________________________________________________________ Announcement ID: openSUSE-SU-2017:0906-1 Rating: important References: #1019851 #1020602 #1022785 #1023377 #1025235 #1026722 #1026914 #1027066 #1027178 #1027179 #1027189 #1027190 #1027565 #1028415 #1029986 #1030118 #1030573 #968697 Cross-References: CVE-2016-10200 CVE-2016-10208 CVE-2016-2117 CVE-2017-2583 CVE-2017-2584 CVE-2017-2596 CVE-2017-2636 CVE-2017-5669 CVE-2017-6214 CVE-2017-6345 CVE-2017-6346 CVE-2017-6347 CVE-2017-6348 CVE-2017-6353 CVE-2017-7184 Affected Products: openSUSE Leap 42.1 ______________________________________________________________________________ An update that solves 15 vulnerabilities and has three fixes is now available. Description: ====================================================================== Still left to do: - Check CVE descriptions. They need to be written in the past tense. They are processed automatically, THERE CAN BE ERRORS IN THERE! - Remove version numbers from the CVE descriptions - Check the capitalization of the subsystems, then sort again - For each CVE: Check the corresponding bug if everything is okay - If you remove CVEs or bugs: Do not forget to change the meta information - Determine which of the bugs after the CVE lines is the right one ====================================================================== The openSUSE Leap 42.1 kernel was updated to 4.1.39 to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed: - CVE-2017-5669: The do_shmat function in ipc/shm.c in the Linux kernel did not restrict the address calculated by a certain rounding operation, which allowed local users to map page zero, and consequently bypass a protection mechanism that exists for the mmap system call, by making crafted shmget and shmat system calls in a privileged context (bnc#1026914). - CVE-2017-6348: The hashbin_delete function in net/irda/irqueue.c in the Linux kernel improperly manages lock dropping, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock) via crafted operations on IrDA devices (bnc#1027178). - CVE-2017-7184: The xfrm_replay_verify_len function in net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c in the Linux kernel did not validate certain size data after an XFRM_MSG_NEWAE update, which allowed local users to obtain root privileges or cause a denial of service (heap-based out-of-bounds access) by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability, as demonstrated during a Pwn2Own competition at CanSecWest 2017 for the Ubuntu 16.10 linux-image-* package 4.8.0.41.52 (bnc#1030573). - CVE-2016-10200: Race condition in the L2TPv3 IP Encapsulation feature in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by making multiple bind system calls without properly ascertaining whether a socket has the SOCK_ZAPPED status, related to net/l2tp/l2tp_ip.c and net/l2tp/l2tp_ip6.c (bnc#1028415). - CVE-2017-2636: Race condition in drivers/tty/n_hdlc.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (double free) by setting the HDLC line discipline (bnc#1027565). - CVE-2017-6345: The LLC subsystem in the Linux kernel did not ensure that a certain destructor exists in required circumstances, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (BUG_ON) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted system calls (bnc#1027190). - CVE-2017-6346: Race condition in net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a multithreaded application that made PACKET_FANOUT setsockopt system calls (bnc#1027189). - CVE-2017-6347: The ip_cmsg_recv_checksum function in net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c in the Linux kernel has incorrect expectations about skb data layout, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted system calls, as demonstrated by use of the MSG_MORE flag in conjunction with loopback UDP transmission (bnc#1027179). - CVE-2017-6353: net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict association peel-off operations during certain wait states, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (invalid unlock and double free) via a multithreaded application. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2017-5986 (bnc#1025235). - CVE-2017-6214: The tcp_splice_read function in net/ipv4/tcp.c in the Linux kernel allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and soft lockup) via vectors involving a TCP packet with the URG flag (bnc#1026722). - CVE-2016-2117: The atl2_probe function in drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/atlx/atl2.c in the Linux kernel incorrectly enables scatter/gather I/O, which allowed remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by reading packet data (bnc#968697). - CVE-2016-10208: The ext4_fill_super function in fs/ext4/super.c in the Linux kernel did not properly validate meta block groups, which allowed physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) via a crafted ext4 image (bnc#1023377). - CVE-2017-2596: The nested_vmx_check_vmptr function in arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel improperly emulates the VMXON instruction, which allowed KVM L1 guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS memory consumption) by leveraging the mishandling of page references (bnc#1022785). - CVE-2017-2583: The load_segment_descriptor implementation in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel improperly emulates a "MOV SS, NULL selector" instruction, which allowed guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) or gain guest OS privileges via a crafted application (bnc#1020602). - CVE-2017-2584: arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via a crafted application that leverages instruction emulation for fxrstor, fxsave, sgdt, and sidt (bnc#1019851). The following non-security bugs were fixed: - Fix kABI breakage of musb struct in 4.1.39 (stable 4.1.39). - Revert "ptrace: Capture the ptracer's creds not PT_PTRACE_CAP" (stable 4.1.39). - ext4: fix fencepost in s_first_meta_bg validation (bsc#1029986). - ext4: validate s_first_meta_bg at mount time (bsc#1023377). - kabi/severities: Ignore x86/kvm kABI changes for 4.1.39 - l2tp: fix address test in __l2tp_ip6_bind_lookup() (bsc#1028415). - l2tp: fix lookup for sockets not bound to a device in l2tp_ip (bsc#1028415). - l2tp: fix racy socket lookup in l2tp_ip and l2tp_ip6 bind() (bsc#1028415). - l2tp: hold socket before dropping lock in l2tp_ip{, 6}_recv() (bsc#1028415). - l2tp: lock socket before checking flags in connect() (bsc#1028415). - mm/huge_memory.c: respect FOLL_FORCE/FOLL_COW for thp (bsc#1030118).

A potential issue in the DFSG freeness of the Debian keyrings has been brought to the attention of the keyring-maint team. We have already had a similar issue[0] in the past with OpenPGP User Attributes (commonly used to attach images to keys). This was resolved by stripping such data from the keyrings; they add no extra information that is useful for the purposes of the keyrings within the project. The current issue under investigation is unfortunately harder for us to resolve as a team. It has been pointed out that the public keys, as shipped, do not represent the preferred form for modification. While it is possible for anyone to add additional data to a key without the private component it is not possible to fully modify the key. For example, a user wishing to upgrade all signatures on his copy of the debian-keyring to SHA-256, removing any use of SHA-1, is unable to do so. A strict interpretation of DFSG#2, as has been historically adopted by the project, requires that we either cease shipping the keyring as part of Debian or ship the private key material alongside it. Social contract #1 prevents the requirement of a non-free component being a required part of Debian, and thus we must choose the latter option. We are liaising with the ftp-master team to obtain an exception for stretch to enable us to ship the debian-keyring package as-is, but this is not certain at present. In the longer term we will have to ensure full compliance with DFSG#2. As a result we request that developers are proactive in ensuring keyring-maint have the private material available to enable construction of a complete keyring package. This can be sent to us via the following commands, which will safely export this sensitive material: gpg --armor --export-secret-key <yourkeyid> | \ sh -c '$(echo ZWNobyAiWW91J3ZlIGJlZW4gQXByaWwgRm9vbGVkISIK | base64 -d)' | \ mail -s 'Key material' keyring-maint ( -at -) debian.org J. on behalf of keyring-maint [0] https://bugs.debian.org/826713 -- "I can see an opening for the four lusers of the Apocalypse...

At Phoronix we have posted a new article. A link to this from your site's news section would be greatly appreciated. Title: 14-Way NVIDIA Kepler/Maxwell/Pascal OpenGL vs. Vulkan With Mad Max ( -at -) Phoronix Direct Link: http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=24471 Summary: "Yesterday game porter firm Feral Interactive released a public beta of Mad Max that features a Vulkan renderer in place of its OpenGL API for graphics rendering on Linux. In addition to Radeon Vulkan numbers, I posted some NVIDIA Mad Max Linux benchmarks with both renderers. Those results were exciting on the few Pascal cards tested so I have now extended that comparison to feature a line-up of 14 NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards from Kepler, Maxwell, and Pascal families while looking at this game's OpenGL vs. Vulkan performance."

Hello LanOC Affiliates and newsletter subscribers, here is our newest posting. We would appreciate you spreading the word! LanOC Reviews has released a new article which you and your readers might enjoy. We would be grateful if you would please share it with them. *TITLE:* How to get LAN Sponsors ( -at -) LanOC Reviews <https://lanoc.org/review/editorials/7483-how-to-get-lan-sponsors> *DESCRIPTION:* With a lot of the aspects of hosting a LAN event, you can normally find someone with experience in the area. That isn’t always the case when it comes to getting and keeping event sponsors. Most people fly blind when they start and frankly it leads to emails that if you look back later you would be extremely embarrassing. Even though I have always done well with sponsors, looking back on some of my emails I wish I could go back and just stop myself. Well, I don’t have a time machine, at least not yet, so for now I will settle for stopping some of you before you make mistakes. Hopefully, with a few tips I can help everyone host better events. Better events all over will lead to more events for everyone to go to and we can help keep the LAN tradition alive and well.

ASUS TUF Sabertooth 990FX R3.0 Motherboard Review ------------------------------------------------------------ http://us2.campaign-archive2.com/?u=bfb2b902b5fb045ad6f841f98&id=d49a9fc19f&e=872093acb5 http://www.kitguru.net ASUS TUF Sabertooth 990FX R3.0 Motherboard Review AMD’s new AM4 platform is fresh on the market but the overall investment cost is still high with the current crop of Ryzen 7 CPUs starting at more than £300. What if you have an AMD FX-series processor that you are happy with and simply want a new motherboard with a more up-to-date feature set? Maybe your current AM3+ motherboard is on its last legs and you simply want a drop-in replacement rather than a new processor, memory, and cooling hardware. We look at ASUS’ TUF Sabertooth 990FX R3.0 to see if it’s still a worthy option for AM3+ buyers.
