Summary

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service. CVE-2018-1093 Wen Xu reported that a crafted ext4 filesystem image could trigger an out-of-bounds read in the ext4_valid_block_bitmap() function. A local user able to mount arbitrary filesystems could use this for denial of service. CVE-2018-1130 The syzbot software found that the DCCP implementation of sendmsg() does not check the socket state, potentially leading to a null pointer dereference. A local user could use this to cause a denial of service (crash). CVE-2018-8897 Nick Peterson of Everdox Tech LLC discovered that #DB exceptions that are deferred by MOV SS or POP SS are not properly handled, allowing an unprivileged user to crash the kernel and cause a denial of service. CVE-2018-10940 Dan Carpenter reported that the cdrom driver does not correctly validate the parameter to the CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED ioctl. A user with access to a cdrom device could use this to cause a denial of service (crash).
