Posted May 9, 2016

Authored by Ubuntu | Site security.ubuntu.com

Ubuntu Security Notice 2967-2 - It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly enforce rlimits for file descriptors sent over UNIX domain sockets. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Ralf Spenneberg discovered that the Aiptek Tablet USB device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly sanity check the endpoints reported by the device. An attacker with physical access could cause a denial of service (system crash). Various other issues were also addressed.
