Low: kernel security update (Amazon Linux 2)

Published Aug 4, 2018 · Updated Aug 6, 2018

Summary

Package updates are available for Amazon Linux 2 that fix the following vulnerabilities: CVE-2018-13094: An issue was discovered in the XFS filesystem in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr_leaf.c in the Linux kernel. A NULL pointer dereference may occur for a corrupted xfs image after xfs_da_shrink_inode() is called with a NULL bp. This can lead to a system crash and a denial of service. 1597771: CVE-2018-13094 kernel: NULL pointer dereference in xfs_da_shrink_inode function CVE-2018-13093: An issue was discovered in the XFS filesystem in fs/xfs/xfs_icache.c in the Linux kernel. There is a NULL pointer dereference leading to a system panic in lookup_slow() on a NULL inode->i_ops pointer when doing pathwalks on a corrupted xfs image. This occurs because of a lack of proper validation that cached inodes are free during an allocation. 1597766: CVE-2018-13093 kernel: NULL pointer dereference in lookup_slow function
