INSTALLING THE UPDATES
We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack on Debian 8.0 Jessie
install these updates.
On systems that have "autoinstall = yes" in /etc/uptrack/uptrack.conf,
these updates will be installed automatically and you do not need to
take any action.
Alternatively, you can install these updates by running:
# /usr/sbin/uptrack-upgrade -y
DESCRIPTION
* CVE-2015-5156: Denial-of-service in Virtio network device.
Incorrect handling of fragmented socket buffers could result in a buffer
overflow when performing receive offload under specific conditions. A
local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system.
* CVE-2015-6937: NULL pointer dereference in RDS socket creation.
Failure to check for binding to a transport could result in a NULL
pointer dereference when creating an RDS socket. A local, unprivileged
user could use this flaw to crash the system.
* CVE-2015-0272: Remote denial-of-service in IPv6 address autoconfiguration.
Incorrect handling of MTU sysctl setting for an IPv6 device could allow
a remote attacker to trigger packet loss and a denial-of-service under
certain system configurations.
* CVE-2015-6252: Denial-of-service in Virtio networking accelerator.
Missing resource tracking could result in a memory leak when performing
the VHOST_SET_LOG_FD ioctl. A local, privileged user with access to the
/dev/vhost-net device could use this flaw to trigger a
denial-of-service.
* Denial-of-service in Advanced multi layered unification filesystem mmap().
Incorrect reference counting performing an madvise() or mmap() on an
aufs file could result in a race condition. A local user with access to
the AUFS filesystem could use this flaw to crash the system, or
potentially, escalate privileges.
* CVE-2015-2925: Privilege escalation in bind mounts inside namespaces.
Incorrect handling of renames inside container bind mounts could allow a
local user to escape a container and escalate privileges under specific
conditions.
