--- title: "CVE-2018-10938\n | Ubuntu" description: Ubuntu is an open source software operating system that runs from the desktop, to the cloud, to all your internet connected things. url: https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2018-10938?format=md keywords: index, follow --- # CVE-2018-10938 Publication date 27 August 2018 Last updated 4 July 2026 --- Ubuntu priority **Negligible** [Why this priority?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#priority ) ## Cvss 3 Severity Score **5.9 · Medium** [Score breakdown](https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2018-10938?format=md#impact-score) Toggle side navigation ## Description A flaw was found in the Linux kernel present since v4.0-rc1 and through v4.13-rc4. A crafted network packet sent remotely by an attacker may force the kernel to enter an infinite loop in the cipso\_v4\_optptr() function in net/ipv4/cipso\_ipv4.c leading to a denial-of-service. A certain non-default configuration of LSM (Linux Security Module) and NetLabel should be set up on a system before an attacker could leverage this flaw. ### From the Ubuntu Security Team Yves Younan discovered that the CIPSO labeling implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle IP header options in some situations. A remote attacker could use this to specially craft network traffic that could cause a denial of service (infinite loop).

details](https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2018-10938?format=md#patch-details) ## Notes --- ### [tyhicks](https://launchpad.net/~tyhicks) This issue affects non-default configurations where SELinux or SMACK is being used instead of AppArmor and networking labeling has been configured. It is unlikely that Ubuntu users would be affected by this issue. --- ### [sbeattie](https://launchpad.net/~sbeattie) further hardening discussion (and why it's likely not needed) around this code in the two netdev emails in the marc.info urls in the references section ### Patch details For informational purposes only.
