The udf_read_inode function in fs/udf/inode.c in the Linux kernel before 3.18.2 does not ensure a certain data-structure size consistency, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted UDF filesystem image.

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Crypto     subsystem handled automatic loading of kernel modules.
    A local user could use this flaw to load any installed     kernel module, and thus increase the attack surface of     the running kernel.(CVE-2014-9644)

  - The Btrfs implementation in the Linux kernel before     3.19 does not ensure that the visible xattr state is     consistent with a requested replacement, which allows     local users to bypass intended ACL settings and gain     privileges via standard filesystem operations (1)     during an xattr-replacement time window, related to a     race condition, or (2) after an xattr-replacement     attempt that fails because the data does not     fit.(CVE-2014-9710)

  - An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's netfilter connection tracking implementation     loaded extensions.

  - Race condition in the handle_to_path function in     fs/fhandle.c in the Linux kernel through 3.19.1 allows     local users to bypass intended size restrictions and     trigger read operations on additional memory locations     by changing the handle_bytes value of a file handle     during the execution of this function.(CVE-2015-1420)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's SCTP implementation handled authentication key     reference counting during INIT collisions. A remote     attacker could use this flaw to crash the system or,     potentially, escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2015-1421)

  - The IPv4 implementation in the Linux kernel before     3.18.8 does not properly consider the length of the     Read-Copy Update (RCU) grace period for redirecting     lookups in the absence of caching, which allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (memory     consumption or system crash) via a flood of     packets.(CVE-2015-1465)

  - A flaw was found in the way the nft_flush_table()     function of the Linux kernel's netfilter tables     implementation flushed rules that were referencing     deleted chains. A local user who has the CAP_NET_ADMIN     capability could use this flaw to crash the     system.(CVE-2015-1573)

  - An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel randomized the stack for processes on certain     64-bit architecture systems, such as x86-64, causing     the stack entropy to be reduced by four.(CVE-2015-1593)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The linux-2.6 update issued as DLA-246-1 caused regressions. This update corrects the defective patches applied in that update causing these problems. For reference the original advisory text follows.

This update fixes the CVEs described below.

CVE-2011-5321

Jiri Slaby discovered that tty_driver_lookup_tty() may leak a reference to the tty driver. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system.

CVE-2012-6689

Pablo Neira Ayuso discovered that non-root user-space processes can send forged Netlink notifications to other processes. A local user could use this flaw for denial of service or privilege escalation.

CVE-2014-3184

Ben Hawkes discovered that various HID drivers may over-read the report descriptor buffer, possibly resulting in a crash if a HID with a crafted descriptor is plugged in.

CVE-2014-8159

It was found that the Linux kernel's InfiniBand/RDMA subsystem did not properly sanitize input parameters while registering memory regions from user space via the (u)verbs API. A local user with access to a /dev/infiniband/uverbsX device could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system.

CVE-2014-9683

Dmitry Chernenkov discovered that eCryptfs writes past the end of the allocated buffer during encrypted filename decoding, resulting in local denial of service.

CVE-2014-9728 / CVE-2014-9729 / CVE-2014-9730 / CVE-2014-9731 / CVE-2015-4167

Carl Henrik Lunde discovered that the UDF implementation is missing several necessary length checks. A local user that can mount devices could use these various flaws to crash the system, to leak information from the kernel, or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2015-1805

Red Hat discovered that the pipe iovec read and write implementations may iterate over the iovec twice but will modify the iovec such that the second iteration accesses the wrong memory. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or possibly for privilege escalation.
This may also result in data corruption and information leaks in pipes between non-malicious processes.

CVE-2015-2041

Sasha Levin discovered that the LLC subsystem exposed some variables as sysctls with the wrong type. On a 64-bit kernel, this possibly allows privilege escalation from a process with CAP_NET_ADMIN capability; it also results in a trivial information leak.

CVE-2015-2042

Sasha Levin discovered that the RDS subsystem exposed some variables as sysctls with the wrong type. On a 64-bit kernel, this results in a trivial information leak.

CVE-2015-2830

Andrew Lutomirski discovered that when a 64-bit task on an amd64 kernel makes a fork(2) or clone(2) system call using int $0x80, the 32-bit compatibility flag is set (correctly) but is not cleared on return. As a result, both seccomp and audit will misinterpret the following system call by the task(s), possibly leading to a violation of security policy.

CVE-2015-2922

Modio AB discovered that the IPv6 subsystem would process a router advertisement that specifies no route but only a hop limit, which would then be applied to the interface that received it. This can result in loss of IPv6 connectivity beyond the local network.

This may be mitigated by disabling processing of IPv6 router advertisements if they are not needed: sysctl net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_ra=0 sysctl net.ipv6.conf.<interface>.accept_ra=0

CVE-2015-3339

It was found that the execve(2) system call can race with inode attribute changes made by chown(2). Although chown(2) clears the setuid/setgid bits of a file if it changes the respective owner ID, this race condition could result in execve(2) setting effective uid/gid to the new owner ID, a privilege escalation.

For the oldoldstable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 2.6.32-48squeeze12.

For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), these problems were fixed in linux version 3.2.68-1+deb7u1 or earlier, except for CVE-2015-1805 and CVE-2015-4167 which will be fixed soon.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems were fixed in linux version 3.16.7-ckt11-1 or earlier, except for CVE-2015-4167 which will be fixed later.

We recommend that you upgrade your linux-2.6 packages.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2544-1 advisory.

  - The Crypto API in the Linux kernel before 3.18.5 allows local users to load arbitrary kernel modules via a     bind system call for an AF_ALG socket with a module name in the salg_name field, a different vulnerability     than CVE-2014-9644. (CVE-2013-7421)

  - The implementation of certain splice_write file operations in the Linux kernel before 3.16 does not     enforce a restriction on the maximum size of a single file, which allows local users to cause a denial of     service (system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted splice system call, as     demonstrated by use of a file descriptor associated with an ext4 filesystem. (CVE-2014-7822)

  - The Crypto API in the Linux kernel before 3.18.5 allows local users to load arbitrary kernel modules via a     bind system call for an AF_ALG socket with a parenthesized module template expression in the salg_name     field, as demonstrated by the vfat(aes) expression, a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-7421.
    (CVE-2014-9644)

  - The UDF filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.18.2 does not validate certain lengths,     which allows local users to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read and system crash) via a crafted     filesystem image, related to fs/udf/inode.c and fs/udf/symlink.c. (CVE-2014-9728)

  - The udf_read_inode function in fs/udf/inode.c in the Linux kernel before 3.18.2 does not ensure a certain     data-structure size consistency, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via     a crafted UDF filesystem image. (CVE-2014-9729)

  - The udf_pc_to_char function in fs/udf/symlink.c in the Linux kernel before 3.18.2 relies on component     lengths that are unused, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a     crafted UDF filesystem image. (CVE-2014-9730)

  - The UDF filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.18.2 does not ensure that space is     available for storing a symlink target's name along with a trailing \0 character, which allows local users     to obtain sensitive information via a crafted filesystem image, related to fs/udf/symlink.c and     fs/udf/unicode.c. (CVE-2014-9731)

  - The XFS implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.15 improperly uses an old size value during remote     attribute replacement, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (transaction overrun and data     corruption) or possibly gain privileges by leveraging XFS filesystem access. (CVE-2015-0274)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2517-1 advisory.

  - arch/x86/kernel/tls.c in the Thread Local Storage (TLS) implementation in the Linux kernel through 3.18.1     allows local users to bypass the espfix protection mechanism, and consequently makes it easier for local     users to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism, via a crafted application that makes a set_thread_area     system call and later reads a 16-bit value. (CVE-2014-8133)

  - net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto_generic.c in the Linux kernel before 3.18 generates incorrect conntrack     entries during handling of certain iptables rule sets for the SCTP, DCCP, GRE, and UDP-Lite protocols,     which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via packets with disallowed port     numbers. (CVE-2014-8160)

  - The d_walk function in fs/dcache.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 does not properly maintain the     semantics of rename_lock, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock and system hang)     via a crafted application. (CVE-2014-8559)

  - The Linux kernel through 3.17.4 does not properly restrict dropping of supplemental group memberships in     certain namespace scenarios, which allows local users to bypass intended file permissions by leveraging a     POSIX ACL containing an entry for the group category that is more restrictive than the entry for the other     category, aka a negative groups issue, related to kernel/groups.c, kernel/uid16.c, and     kernel/user_namespace.c. (CVE-2014-8989)

  - The __switch_to function in arch/x86/kernel/process_64.c in the Linux kernel through 3.18.1 does not     ensure that Thread Local Storage (TLS) descriptors are loaded before proceeding with other steps, which     makes it easier for local users to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted application that     reads a TLS base address. (CVE-2014-9419)

  - The rock_continue function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel through 3.18.1 does not restrict the     number of Rock Ridge continuation entries, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (infinite     loop, and system crash or hang) via a crafted iso9660 image. (CVE-2014-9420)

  - The batadv_frag_merge_packets function in net/batman-adv/fragmentation.c in the B.A.T.M.A.N.
    implementation in the Linux kernel through 3.18.1 uses an incorrect length field during a calculation of     an amount of memory, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (mesh-node system crash)     via fragmented packets. (CVE-2014-9428)

  - Race condition in the key_gc_unused_keys function in security/keys/gc.c in the Linux kernel through 3.18.2     allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or panic) or possibly have unspecified     other impact via keyctl commands that trigger access to a key structure member during garbage collection     of a key. (CVE-2014-9529)

  - The parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel before 3.18.2 does not     validate a length value in the Extensions Reference (ER) System Use Field, which allows local users to     obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a crafted iso9660 image. (CVE-2014-9584)

  - The vdso_addr function in arch/x86/vdso/vma.c in the Linux kernel through 3.18.2 does not properly choose     memory locations for the vDSO area, which makes it easier for local users to bypass the ASLR protection     mechanism by guessing a location at the end of a PMD. (CVE-2014-9585)

  - Off-by-one error in the ecryptfs_decode_from_filename function in fs/ecryptfs/crypto.c in the eCryptfs     subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.18.2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (buffer     overflow and system crash) or possibly gain privileges via a crafted filename. (CVE-2014-9683)

  - The UDF filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.18.2 does not validate certain lengths,     which allows local users to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read and system crash) via a crafted     filesystem image, related to fs/udf/inode.c and fs/udf/symlink.c. (CVE-2014-9728)

  - The udf_read_inode function in fs/udf/inode.c in the Linux kernel before 3.18.2 does not ensure a certain     data-structure size consistency, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via     a crafted UDF filesystem image. (CVE-2014-9729)

  - The udf_pc_to_char function in fs/udf/symlink.c in the Linux kernel before 3.18.2 relies on component     lengths that are unused, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a     crafted UDF filesystem image. (CVE-2014-9730)

  - The UDF filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.18.2 does not ensure that space is     available for storing a symlink target's name along with a trailing \0 character, which allows local users     to obtain sensitive information via a crafted filesystem image, related to fs/udf/symlink.c and     fs/udf/unicode.c. (CVE-2014-9731)

  - The em_sysenter function in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel before 3.18.5, when the guest OS     lacks SYSENTER MSR initialization, allows guest OS users to gain guest OS privileges or cause a denial of     service (guest OS crash) by triggering use of a 16-bit code segment for emulation of a SYSENTER     instruction. (CVE-2015-0239)
