Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2015-027 - Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in the Linux kernel. The SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.17.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by triggering a large number of chunks in an association's output queue, as demonstrated by ASCONF probes, related to net/sctp/inqueue.c and net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c. Various other issues have also been addressed. The updated packages provides a solution for these security issues.
8db2a8779b1b5045f0e914377584f2e707328f0f91ef09e5a26429ff9fa5d67cUbuntu Security Notice 2464-1 - Andy Lutomirski discovered that the Linux kernel does not properly handle faults associated with the Stack Segment (SS) register in the x86 architecture. A local attacker could exploit this flaw to gain administrative privileges. An information leak in the Linux kernel was discovered that could leak the high 16 bits of the kernel stack address on 32-bit Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM) paravirt guests. A user in the guest OS could exploit this leak to obtain information that could potentially be used to aid in attacking the kernel. Various other issues were also addressed.

Due to an unrelated regression TCP Throughput drops to zero for several drivers after upgrading. This update fixes the problem. An information leak in the Linux kernel was discovered that could leak the high 16 bits of the kernel stack address on 32-bit Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM) paravirt guests. A user in the guest OS could exploit this leak to obtain information that could potentially be used to aid in attacking the kernel. Rabin Vincent, Robert Swiecki, Russell King discovered that the ftrace subsystem of the Linux kernel does not properly handle private syscall numbers. A local user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (OOPS). A flaw in the handling of malformed ASCONF chunks by SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) implementation in the Linux kernel was discovered. Various other issues were also addressed.
