Comment 1 Thomas Backlund 2015-11-11 19:59:18 CET
advisory (also added to svn)

  This kernel update is based on upstream 4.1.13 longterm kernel and fixes
  the following security issues:

  The virtnet_probe function in drivers/net/virtio_net.c in the Linux kernel
  before 4.2 attempts to support a FRAGLIST feature without proper memory
  allocation, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (buffer
  overflow and memory corruption) via a crafted sequence of fragmented packets.
  (CVE-2015-5156)

  A guest to host DoS issue was found affecting various hypervisors. In that,
  a guest can DoS the host by triggering an infinite stream of "alignment
  check" (#AC) exceptions. This causes the microcode to enter an infinite loop
  where the core never receives another interrupt. The host kernel panics due
  to this effect (CVE-2015-5307).

  A guest to host DoS issue was found affecting various hypervisors. In that,
  a guest can DoS the host by triggering an infinite stream of "debug check"
  (#DB) exceptions. This causes the microcode to enter an infinite loop where
  the core never receives another interrupt. The host kernel panics due to
  this effect (CVE-2015-8104).

  For other fixes in this update, see the referenced changelog.

Comment 2 Dave Hodgins 2015-11-11 20:16:30 CET
Ok on both my i586 and x86_64 systems, both on real hardware and in virtualbox.

Unless the security updates are considered critical, I'd like to wait a few days
and have more people test it before adding the ok or validated tags.

Comment 6 Thomas Andrews 2015-11-14 00:32:36 CET
Dell Dimension E310, P4 processor, Intel graphics, on both 64-bit and 32-bit Mageia installs. Installed desktop kernel at the same time as packages from Bug #17065 and Bug #17126.

Only testing done was to install relevant packages from Mageia Update, reboot, and look for problems in general system operation.

No issues noted in either installation. In fact, a minor scroll wheel problem in Mageia Update disappeared after the updates.

Homemade computer, ASRock motherboard, Athlon X2 7750 processor, 8GB RAM, on-board ATI graphics.

Installed updates on both 64-bit and 32-bit systems, as described in Comment 6. Did not install the virtualbox 5.0.10 packages until later.

No issues to report. VirtualBox 5.0.8 packages updated as they should, and Windows XP guest worked.

On x64 EFI real hardware with fglrx for AMD/ATI/Radeon video.

I know this update has already been OK'd, but I should note that it is the first of many kernel updates (M4 included) which broke the booting. It now stops at a Grub prompt. No Mageia...

I assume this is grub2-efi as its an efi system...

Is kernel and initrd in /boot ?

is the grub2 menu properly updated ?

(In reply to Thomas Backlund from comment #13)
> I assume this is grub2-efi as its an efi system...
Yes.

> Is kernel and initrd in /boot ?
Please tell me exactly what to look for.

> is the grub2 menu properly updated ?
I don't know. Again, tell me exactly what to look for.

Thanks to Dave, I can chroot into the Mageia system. I re-built grub:
# grub2-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/EFI --bootloader-id=mageia5
which finished rapidly, without the normal 10 minute wait that accompanies all kernel updates - including this one; attributed to os-prober. The result was still unbootable, stopping at the grub prompt.
Interesting point: the current /boot/EFI/EFI/mageia/grubx64.efi is dated April, meaning that it has not been touched by subsequent kernel updates. So the problem seems to be elsewhere. I wondered whether the kernel stub got left out - if that matters.
Please tell me all the booting steps I need to do that would be done as part of the kernel upgrade; exactly.
And as a control, how I can UNinstall the kernel from the chrooted-to Mageia. Just urpme it? Which should re-generate the boot process without it.
Comment 15 claire robinson 2015-11-16 10:30:11 CET
When chrooted, ls -l /boot should show vmlinuz symlinked to the correct version for the kernel and similar for initrd.img linked to the correct .img file.
Comment 16 claire robinson 2015-11-16 11:26:21 CET
You don't actually need to chroot to do this bit btw, as long as the filesystem is mounted.

Thanks Claire.

In /boot in the chroot'd Mageia:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root       29 Tach 13 17:10 vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-4.1.13-desktop-2.mga5
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root       29 Tach 13 17:10 vmlinuz-desktop -> vmlinuz-4.1.13-desktop-2.mga5
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  4421616 Tach 11 02:05 vmlinuz-4.1.13-desktop-2.mga5
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root       32 Tach 13 17:10 initrd.img -> initrd-4.1.13-desktop-2.mga5.img
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root       32 Tach 13 17:10 initrd-desktop.img -> initrd-4.1.13-desktop-2.mga5.img
-rw------- 1 root root 11497381 Tach 13 17:00 initrd-4.1.13-desktop-2.mga5.img

As for "is the grub2 menu properly updated ?", I await advice on knowing how.
In the meantime, I am going to try urpme'ing the 4.1.13 kernel, which should leave 4.1.12 which worked OK previously.

Just done that, took out while chroot'd:
 kernel-desktop-latest-4.1.13-2.mga5
 kernel-desktop-devel-4.1.13-2.mga5-1-1.mga5
 kernel-desktop-4.1.13-2.mga5-1-1.mga5
 fglrx-kernel-4.1.13-desktop-2.mga5-15.200.1046-7.mga5.nonfree
 fglrx-kernel-desktop-latest-15.200.1046-7.mga5.nonfree.x86_64

Cannot find a boot loader installed. Only taking care of initrd
-
 kernel-desktop-4.1.13-2.mga5-1-1.mga5.x86_64

No boot re-build, I think. I am not putting any money on the thing booting OK.
Comment 18 David Walser 2015-11-16 22:21:25 CET
Lewis, please file a bug for the issue you saw.  This isn't a bug with the kernel package, but with bootloader-utils.  That's where the scripts come from that the kernel runs when it's installed to get it added to the bootloader configuration.  Sometimes, these scripts do bad things (see Bug 17000 for another example), but we don't know why, since it's only sometimes.  It would be good to know if Lewis can reproduce this issue, and if someone else can replicate his setup and reproduce it as well.
