[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#862722: Kernel Stack Overflow

Tue May 16 08:06:05 UTC 2017

Package: Network-manager
Version: 1.6.2-3
Analysis:
During analysis, I have observed the Linux kernel is vulnerable to a stack
overflow and on the testing it's confirmed that the stack flow guard is
hit. I have found that the vmnet-bridge module throws a segfault (which
shall be the issue) when a USB tethering device is connected to the machine.

How to reproduce:
1. Connect a device with USB tethering capability [I used my Oneplus 3
phone]
2. Switch on USB tethering

This will stop the terminal from working. nautilus seems to be working
correctly.

Technical Details:
