Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Integer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU18813
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-11477
CWE-ID:
CWE-190 - Integer overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow when handling TCP Selective Acknowledgments (SACKs) due to incorrect processing of TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_gso_segs value in Linux kernel. A remote non-authenticated attacker can send specially crafted network traffic to the affected system, trigger integer overflow and render the system unavailable.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform denial of service (DoS) attack.

2) Resource exhaustion
EUVDB-ID: #VU18946
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-11478
CWE-ID:
CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when processing TCP Selective Acknowledgment (SACK) sequences within the Linux kernel TCP retransmission queue implementation in tcp_fragment. A remote non-authenticated attacker can send specially crafted network traffic to the affected system and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

3) Resource exhaustion
EUVDB-ID: #VU18947
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-11479
CWE-ID:
CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to presence of hard-coded MSS value (48 bytes) in the Linux kernel source code. A remote attacker can fragment TCP resend queues significantly more than if a larger MSS were enforced and perform denial of service (DoS) attack.
