Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Divide by zero
EUVDB-ID: #VU8922
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-14106
CWE-ID:
CWE-369 - Divide By Zero
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists due to divide-by-zero error in the tcp_disconnect() function in net/ipv4/tcp.c. A local attacker can trigger a disconnect within a certain tcp_recvmsg code path and cause kernel panic.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.
Install updates from vendor's website.

Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
No. This vulnerability can be exploited locally. The attacker should have authentication credentials and successfully authenticate on the system.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
2) Privilege escalation
EUVDB-ID: #VU7865
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-1000111
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.
The weakness exists in the packet_set_ring function due to improper implementation of raw packet sockets in the networking subsystem of the affected software that handles synchronization. A local attacker with CAP_NET_RAW permissions can open a raw packet socket, trigger a race condition, eventually cause use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.

3) Privilege escalation
EUVDB-ID: #VU7954
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 8.2 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:F/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-1000112
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.
The weakness exists due to race condition in the UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) code. A local attacker can send specially crafted UFO packets, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
