Amazon Linux AMI Security Advisory: ALAS-2017-811
Advisory Release Date: 2017-03-29 17:59 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2017-03-29 22:53 Pacific
Severity:
Important
Issue Overview:
The skbs processed by ip_cmsg_recv() are not guaranteed to be linear (e.g. when sending UDP packets over loopback with MSGMORE). Using csum_partial() on potentially the whole skb len is dangerous; instead be on the safe side and use skb_checksum(). This may lead to an infoleak as the kernel memory may be checksummed and sent as part of the packet. (CVE-2017-6347)
It was discovered that xfrm_replay_verify_len(), as called by xfrm_new_ae(), did not verify that the user-specified replay_window was within the replay state buffer. This allowed for out-of-bounds reads and writes of kernel memory.(CVE-2017-7184)
Affected Packages:
kernel
