Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read
EUVDB-ID: #VU8131
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-11600
CWE-ID:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists in net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c due to it does not ensure that the dir value of xfrm_userpolicy_id is XFRM_POLICY_MAX or less when CONFIG_XFRM_MIGRATE is enabled. A local attacker can submit a specially crafted XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE xfrm Netlink message and cause the service to crash.

2) Speculative Store Bypass
EUVDB-ID: #VU12911
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 4.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-3639
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.
The weakness exists due to race conditions in CPU cache processing. A local attacker can conduct a side-channel attack to exploit a flaw in the speculative execution of Load and Store instructions to read privileged memory.
Note: the vulnerability is referred to as "Spectre variant 4".
