Ubuntu Security Notice 3836-2 - USN-3836-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement kernel from Ubuntu 18.04 LTS for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Jann Horn discovered that the Linux kernel mishandles mapping UID or GID ranges inside nested user namespaces in some situations. A local attacker could use this to bypass access controls on resources outside the namespace. Various other issues were also addressed.

A local attacker could use this to bypass access controls on resources outside the namespace. Philipp Wendler discovered that the overlayfs implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly verify the directory contents permissions from within a unprivileged user namespace. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. Various other issues were also addressed.

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.
