Synopsis: Important: kernel security and bug fix update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2019:0415-1
Issue Date: 2019-02-26
CVE Numbers: CVE-2018-10902
—
Security Fix(es):
* kernel: MIDI driver race condition leads to a double-free
(CVE-2018-10902)
Bug Fix(es):
* Previously backported upstream patch caused a change in the behavior of
page fault handler. As a consequence, applications compiled through GNU
Compiler Collection (GCC) version 4.4.7 sometimes generated stack access
exceeding the 64K limit. Running such applications subsequently triggered
a segmentation fault. With this update, the 64k limit check in the page
fault handler has been removed. As a result, running the affected
applications no longer triggers the segmentation fault in the described
scenario.
Note that removing the limit check does not impact the integrity of the
kernel itself.
