hi, I'm using 3.18.20 linux kernel and looking for a patch for CVE-2017-5972, could not find it.. Can I get some help with that? Thanks
Over my head, but Googling I found nothing current beyond RedHat declining to patch in February and suggesting synproxy to mitigate the risk (see here). RedHat also requesting CVE to be revoked. They repeated this position again in March (see here). In July, GitHub Engineering produced another tool, synsanity, as an alternative to synproxy (see article here -- link to product here). Debian only shows that vulnerability was fixed in stretch, not jessie or wheezy (see here). Hope that helps.
Hey there - what distribution are you running? Also, are you patching this particular CVE because a scan at work told you about the vulnerability or? Rob
Hi @robi1212 and welcome to linux.org I am in the category of friend Stan with but I note from Slashdot https://linux.slashdot.org/story/17/02/09/006243/linux-kernel-318-reaches-end-of-life the following is included: ... and I wonder if you are in that category or that legacy hardware and drivers issues necessitate your sticking with that version? By all means, answer @Rob 's questions first. Cheers and avagudweegend Wizard
