Linux kernel: several flaws allow crashes, memory corruption and more

The Linux kernel, the core of many servers and devices, has several security bugs. Attackers could crash systems or possibly corrupt memory, and some flaws may be reachable remotely.

What happened

Multiple vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel allow an attacker to trigger denial-of-service conditions, memory corruption, information disclosure, or security bypasses; some advisories describe remote anonymous attackers and others local ones.

Why it is dangerous: Successful attacks could take affected systems offline or expose sensitive information, and servers and devices running Linux kernels are at risk.

Are you affected?

You are affected if you run a Linux kernel with the affected versions, which are not specified in the provided material.

What to do

  1. Check your Linux distribution's security advisories for a kernel update addressing these vulnerabilities
  2. Install the vendor-provided kernel update and reboot the affected systems
  3. Prioritize internet-facing servers, since some advisories describe remote attackers
