Debian Security Advisory DSA-3128-1 security@debian.org

Package : linux
CVE ID : CVE-2013-6885 CVE-2014-8133 CVE-2014-9419 CVE-2014-9529
CVE-2014-9584
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that
may lead to a denial of service or information leaks.
CVE-2013-6885
It was discovered that under specific circumstances, a combination
of write operations to write-combined memory and locked CPU
instructions may cause a core hang on AMD 16h 00h through 0Fh
processors. A local user can use this flaw to mount a denial of
service (system hang) via a crafted application.
For more information please refer to the AMD CPU erratum 793 in
http://support.amd.com/TechDocs/51810_16h_00h-0Fh_Rev_Guide.pdf
CVE-2014-8133
It was found that the espfix funcionality can be bypassed by
installing a 16-bit RW data segment into GDT instead of LDT (which
espfix checks for) and using it for stack. A local unprivileged user
could potentially use this flaw to leak kernel stack addresses and
thus allowing to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism.
CVE-2014-9419
It was found that on Linux kernels compiled with the 32 bit
interfaces (CONFIG_X86_32) a malicious user program can do a
partial ASLR bypass through TLS base addresses leak when attacking
other programs.
CVE-2014-9529
It was discovered that the Linux kernel is affected by a race
condition flaw when doing key garbage collection, allowing local
users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or panic).
CVE-2014-9584
It was found that the Linux kernel does not validate a length value
in the Extensions Reference (ER) System Use Field, which allows
local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a
crafted iso9660 image.
For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in
version 3.2.65-1+deb7u1. Additionally this update fixes a suspend/resume
regression introduced with 3.2.65.
For the upcoming stable distribution (jessie) and the unstable
distribution (sid), these problems will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.
