CVE-2017-12134 [HIGH] Linux kernel (Trusty HWE) vulnerabilities
Title: Linux kernel (Trusty HWE) vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were addressed in the Linux kernel.
USN-3655-1 fixed vulnerabilities and added mitigations in the Linux
kernel for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. This update provides the corresponding
updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernel from Ubuntu
14.04 LTS for Ubuntu 12.04 ESM.
Jann Horn and Ken Johnson discovered that microprocessors utilizing
speculative execution of a memory read may allow unauthorized memory
reads via a sidechannel attack. This flaw is known as Spectre
Variant 4. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive
information, including kernel memory. (CVE-2018-3639)
Jan H. Schönherr discovered that the Xen subsystem did not properly handle
block IO merges correctly in some situations. An att

could use this to cause a denial of service (host crash) or possibly gain

kernel: Null pointer dereference in drivers/input/serio/i8042.c leading to denial-of-service
drivers/input/serio/i8042.c in the Linux kernel before 4.12.4 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact because the port->exists value can change after it is validated.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of i8042 serial ports. An attacker could cause a kernel panic if they are able to add and remove devices as the module is loaded.
Statement: This issue affects the Linux kernel packages as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6, 7, its real-time kernel and Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2. At this time there are no plans to fix this issue.
This issue does not affect the versions of the Linux
