Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Resource exhaustion
EUVDB-ID: #VU14200
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-5390
CWE-ID:
CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to the system uses an inefficient TCP reassembly algorithm. A remote attacker can send specially crafted packets within ongoing TCP sessions to consume excessive CPU resources and cause the service to crash.
Note: The issue has been called "SegmentSmack".

2) Improper input validation
EUVDB-ID: #VU14437
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-5391
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when handling reassembly of fragmented IPv4 and IPv6 packets. A remote attacker can send specially crafted packets, trigger time and calculation expensive fragment reassembly algorithms and cause the service to crash.

3) Use-after-free error
EUVDB-ID: #VU13023
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 4.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-10675
CWE-ID:
CWE-416 - Use After Free
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe weakness exists in the do_get_mempolicy function in mm/mempolicy.c due to use-after-free error. A local attacker can use specially crafted system calls, trigger memory corruption and cause the service to crash.
