CVE-2018-18653

Status Candidate

Overview

The Linux kernel, as used in Ubuntu 18.10 and when booted with UEFI Secure Boot enabled, allows privileged local users to bypass intended Secure Boot restrictions and execute untrusted code by loading arbitrary kernel modules. This occurs because a modified kernel/module.c, in conjunction with certain configuration options, leads to mishandling of the result of signature verification.

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3835-1
Posted Dec 4, 2018

Ubuntu Security Notice 3835-1 - Jann Horn discovered that the procfs file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict the ability to inspect the kernel stack of an arbitrary task. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. Jann Horn discovered that the mremap system call in the Linux kernel did not properly flush the TLB when completing, potentially leaving access to a physical page after it has been released to the page allocator. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service , expose sensitive information, or possibly execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.
