[USN-2823-1] Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Severity Medium
Affected Packages 9
CVEs 2
Info Packages Vulnerabilities

Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.

It was discovered that the SCTP protocol implementation in the Linux kernel
performed an incorrect sequence of protocol-initialization steps. A local
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
(CVE-2015-5283)

Dmitry Vyukov discovered that the Linux kernel's keyring handler attempted
to garbage collect incompletely instantiated keys. A local unprivileged
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
(CVE-2015-7872)
