Description Alexandros Toptsoglou 2019-10-21 12:05:11 UTC
CVE-2019-18198

In the Linux kernel before 5.3.4, a reference count usage error in the
fib6_rule_suppress() function in the fib6 suppression feature of
net/ipv6/fib6_rules.c, when handling the FIB_LOOKUP_NOREF flag, can be exploited
by a local attacker to corrupt memory, aka CID-ca7a03c41753.

Comment 1 Alexandros Toptsoglou 2019-10-21 12:06:48 UTC
It seems that only Factory is affected. All the internal codestreams are not affected.
Comment 2 Takashi Iwai 2019-10-21 12:20:52 UTC
The commit 7d9e5f422150 is included in 5.3-rc1, which is for SLE15-SP2 / Leap 15.2, too.

Yes, but commit ca7a03c41753 has been picked for 5.3.4 stable update and
SLE15-SP2 and openSUSE-15.2 are already at 5.3.7 so all we need is to add
the CVE and bugzilla references.
Comment 4 Takashi Iwai 2019-10-24 09:55:09 UTC
OK, I updated the reference.

Reassigned back to security team.
