Description Arvid Requate univentionstaff 2018-01-04 20:42:46 CET
Kernel 4.9.75 rc1 is currently in upstream review:

* https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/1/3/660
* https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable-rc.git/log/?h=linux-4.9.y

We should pull the patches, once they are final.
Amongst other things, I assume Kernel 4.9.75 will provide fixes for:

* cpu: speculative execution permission faults handling (CVE-2017-5754)
* cpu: speculative execution bounds-check bypass (CVE-2017-5753)
* cpu: speculative execution branch target injection (CVE-2017-5715)
Comment 1 Arvid Requate univentionstaff 2018-01-05 00:07:28 CET
Debian package version 4.9.65-3+deb9u2 fixes CVE-2017-5754.

Comment 5 Philipp Hahn univentionstaff 2018-01-08 14:14:14 CET
FYI: As our build system was offline last weekend, the kernel was build on kiwik. The patches were hand-applied; I forgot to list 4.9.75 in debian/changelog, but it was applied as `dmesg` shows:
> Kernel/User page tables isolation: enabled
Comment 6 Nico Stöckigt univentionstaff 2018-01-08 14:26:26 CET
again a customer asked for patches for UCS 4.1-5 kernel: 4.1.6-1.227.201706090945 (2017-06-09)

This is the Bug for UCS 4.2, Bug 45243 is for the UCS 4.1 kernel.
