Public bug reported: SRU Justification
Impact: The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream by originating either directly from a mainline/stable Linux tree or a minimally backported form of that patch. The v4.14.12 upstream stable patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu kernel as well. git://git.kernel.org/ TEST CASE: TBD The following patches from the v4.14.12 stable release shall be applied: exec: Weaken dumpability for secureexec capabilities: fix buffer overread on very short xattr x86/cpu, x86/pti: Do not enable PTI on AMD processors x86/pti: Make sure the user/kernel PTEs match x86/dumpstack: Fix partial register dumps x86/dumpstack: Print registers for first stack frame x86/pti: Switch to kernel CR3 at early in entry_SYSCALL_compat() x86/process: Define cpu_tss_rw in same section as declaration Revert "xfrm: Fix stack-out-of-bounds read in xfrm_state_find." rtc: m41t80: m41t80_sqw_set_rate should return 0 on success rtc: m41t80: fix m41t80_sqw_round_rate return value rtc: m41t80: avoid i2c read in m41t80_sqw_recalc_rate rtc: m41t80: avoid i2c read in m41t80_sqw_is_prepared rtc: m41t80: remove unneeded checks from m41t80_sqw_set_rate Linux 4.14.12 ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Assignee: Seth Forshee (sforshee) Status: Fix Committed ** Tags: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Tags added: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Seth Forshee (sforshee) ** Description changed: + SRU Justification - SRU Justification + Impact: + The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar + in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to + demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream + by originating either directly from a mainline/stable Linux tree or + a minimally backported form of that patch.
