Hi,

could anyone provide a kernel (e.g. 4.3.3) with the patch for  CVE-2016-0728? Or can anyone tell me how to patch and build the kernel - i only know the official way via "git an ./compile" described here in the manuals.

 

The patch can be found here:

 

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=23567fd052a9abb6d67fe8e7a9ccdd9800a540f2

 

 

Regards,

A.

Please use official documentation for building kernel: http://www.armbian.com/using-armbian-tools/

 

To include this patch you will need to download patch file ("patch" link near commit hash) and place it into userpatches/sunxi-next and/or userpatches/sunxi-dev directory (if you are building for sunxi devices), depending on kernel version you want to build (4.3.3 or 4.4). Make sure to save it with file extension ".patch".

 

This patch will be included in new kernel release one way or the other, but since it's only a local privileges escalation with random chance of success, there probably won't be ahead of schedule Armbian kernel release just to fix that.

Thank you ... i will give it a try.
