Huawei EulerOS: Security Advisory for kernel (EulerOS-SA-2016-1048)

The remote host is missing an update for the Huawei EulerOS 'kernel' package(s) announced via the EulerOS-SA-2016-1048 advisory.

The netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.5.2 does not validate certain offset fields, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) via an IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE setsockopt call.(CVE-2016-3134) The compat IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE and IP6T_SO_SET_REPLACE setsockopt implementations in the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.6.3 allow local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) by leveraging in-container root access to provide a crafted offset value that triggers an unintended decrement.(CVE-2016-4997) The IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE setsockopt implementation in the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) or possibly obtain sensitive information from kernel heap memory by leveraging in-container root access to provide a crafted offset value that leads to crossing a ruleset blob boundary.(CVE-2016-4998)

'kernel' package(s) on Huawei EulerOS V2.0SP1.

Checks if a vulnerable package version is present on the target host.

Please install the updated package(s).
