Description Thomas Backlund 2018-01-06 23:13:30 CET
Meltdown fixed kernel...

Advisory will follow

There might be need for a rebuild for additional fixes... but please start testing so we can catch regressions...

Comment 1 Len Lawrence 2018-01-08 13:06:49 CET
System:    Host: juza Kernel: 4.4.110-1.mga5 x86_64 
           Desktop: MATE 1.8.1  Distro: Mageia 5 thornicroft 
CPU:       Quad core Intel Core i7-3630QM (-HT-MCP-)
Machine:   System: LENOVO product: 9541 v: Lenovo IdeaPad Y500
Graphics:  Card: NVIDIA GK107M [GeForce GT 650M]
           GLX Version: 4.5.0 NVIDIA 384.111

This has been running for a while now without issues.  The usual stress tests completed OK.  No problems with wifi.
OK for mga5::x86_64 on this hardware.

CC: (none) => tarazed25

Comment 2 Lewis Smith 2018-01-08 21:53:16 CET
Testing M5/64

Real EFI hardware, AMD processor, 4Gb, AMD/ATI/Radeon graphics. Sound, no wifi, ethernet.
 $ uname -r
 4.4.110-1.mga5      = linus

After messing around a bit in various directions, all looks OK. Video, graphics, sound.Second Lens's view. As we are having another kernel soon, this one certainly seems to work well enough to OK for now.

Whiteboard: (none) => MGA5-64-OK

Comment 3 Thomas Backlund 2018-01-09 01:05:55 CET
Unfortunately there is still some regressions that will be fixed in 4.4.111, so  a new kernel will be coming...

Advisory, added to svn:

type: security
subject: Updated kernel-linus packages fix security vulnerabilities
CVE:
 - CVE-2017-5754
 - CVE-2017-15129
 - CVE-2017-1000407
src:
  5:
   core:
     - kernel-linus-4.4.111-1.mga5
description: |
  This kernel-linus update provides the upstream 4.4.111 and and fixes
  several security issues.

  The most important fix in this update is for the security issue named
  "Meltdown" that is fixed in theese kernels by enabling kernel Page
  Table Isolation (KTPI). Note that according to AMD, this issue does
  not effect Amd processors, so it is not enabled by default on systems
  using Amd CPU.

  The list of known security fixes and mitigations in this kernel:

  Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and indirect
  branch prediction may allow unauthorized disclosure of information to an
  attacker with local user access via a side-channel analysis of the data
  cache (CVE-2017-5754, "MeltDown").

  A use-after-free vulnerability was found in network namespaces code
  affecting the Linux kernel before 4.14.11. The function get_net_ns_by_id()
  in net/core/net_namespace.c does not check for the net::count value after
  it has found a peer network in netns_ids idr, which could lead to double
  free and memory corruption. This vulnerability could allow an unprivileged
  local user to induce kernel memory corruption on the system, leading to a
  crash. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully
  ruled out, although it is thought to be unlikely (CVE-2017-15129).

  The Linux Kernel 2.6.32 and later are affected by a denial of service, by
  flooding the diagnostic port 0x80 an exception can be triggered leading
  to a kernel panic (CVE-2017-1000407).

  The kernels are also fixed to allow loading cpu microcode for Amd
  family 17 (Zen) processors.

  For more info about Meltdown, Spectre and other fixes in this update,
  see the refences.
