Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.6.16.27 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: explicitly null-terminate the xattr list
When setting an xattr, explicitly null-terminate the xattr list. This
eliminates the fragile assumption that the unused xattr space is always
zeroed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: prevent mss overflow in skb_segment()
Once again syzbot is able to crash the kernel in skb_segment() [1]
GSO_BY_FRAGS is a forbidden value, but unfortunately the following
computation in skb_segment() can reach it quite easily :
mss = mss * partial_segs;
65535 = 3 * 5 * 17 * 257, so many initial values of mss can lead to
a bad final result.
Make sure to limit segmentation so that the new mss value is smaller
than GSO_BY_FRAGS.

A vulnerability was reported in the Open vSwitch sub-component in the Linux Kernel. The flaw occurs when a recursive operation of code push recursively calls into the code block. The OVS module does not validate the stack depth, pushing too many frames and causing a stack overflow. As a result, this can lead to a crash or other related issues.

A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Memory Management subsystem when a user wins two races at the same time with a fail in the mas_prev_slot function. This issue could allow a local user to crash the system.

A race condition was found in the Linux kernel's bluetooth device driver in {min,max}_key_size_set() function. This can result in a null pointer dereference issue, possibly leading to a kernel panic or denial of service issue.
