net/llc/sysctl_net_llc.c in the Linux kernel before 3.19 uses an incorrect data type in a sysctl table, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory or possibly have unspecified other impact by accessing a sysctl entry.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has kernel-rt packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - net/llc/sysctl_net_llc.c in the Linux kernel before 3.19     uses an incorrect data type in a sysctl table, which     allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive     information from kernel memory or possibly have     unspecified other impact by accessing a sysctl entry.
    (CVE-2015-2041)

  - net/rds/sysctl.c in the Linux kernel before 3.19 uses an     incorrect data type in a sysctl table, which allows     local users to obtain potentially sensitive information     from kernel memory or possibly have unspecified other     impact by accessing a sysctl entry. (CVE-2015-2042)

  - The xfrm_migrate() function in the     net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c file in the Linux kernel built     with CONFIG_XFRM_MIGRATE does not verify if the dir     parameter is less than XFRM_POLICY_MAX. This allows a     local attacker to cause a denial of service (out-of-     bounds access) or possibly have unspecified other impact     by sending a XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE netlink message. This flaw     is present in the Linux kernel since an introduction of     XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE in 2.6.21-rc1, up to 4.13-rc3.
    (CVE-2017-11600)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's skcipher     component, which affects the skcipher_recvmsg function.
    Attackers using a specific input can lead to a privilege     escalation. (CVE-2017-13215)

  - The Linux kernel is vulerable to a use-after-free flaw     when Transformation User configuration     interface(CONFIG_XFRM_USER) compile-time configuration     were enabled. This vulnerability occurs while closing a     xfrm netlink socket in xfrm_dump_policy_done. A     user/process could abuse this flaw to potentially     escalate their privileges on a system. (CVE-2017-16939)

  - The inet_csk_clone_lock function in     net/ipv4/inet_connection_sock.c in the Linux kernel     allows attackers to cause a denial of service (double     free) or possibly have unspecified other impact by     leveraging use of the accept system call. An     unprivileged local user could use this flaw to induce     kernel memory corruption on the system, leading to a     crash. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege     escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we     believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2017-8890)

  - An address corruption flaw was discovered in the Linux     kernel built with hardware breakpoint     (CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT) support. While modifying a     h/w breakpoint via 'modify_user_hw_breakpoint' routine,     an unprivileged user/process could use this flaw to     crash the system kernel resulting in DoS OR to     potentially escalate privileges on a the system.
    (CVE-2018-1000199)

  - The do_get_mempolicy() function in mm/mempolicy.c in the     Linux kernel allows local users to hit a use-after-free     bug via crafted system calls and thus cause a denial of     service (DoS) or possibly have unspecified other impact.
    Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation     cannot be fully ruled out. (CVE-2018-10675)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of     32-bit syscall interface for bridging. This allowed a     privileged user to arbitrarily write to a limited range     of kernel memory. (CVE-2018-1068)

  - A Floating Point Unit (FPU) state information leakage     flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel saved and     restored the FPU state during task switch. Linux kernels     that follow the Lazy FPU Restore scheme are vulnerable     to the FPU state information leakage issue. An     unprivileged local attacker could use this flaw to read     FPU state bits by conducting targeted cache side-channel     attacks, similar to the Meltdown vulnerability disclosed     earlier this year. (CVE-2018-3665)

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel handled     exceptions delivered after a stack switch operation via     Mov SS or Pop SS instructions. During the stack switch     operation, the processor did not deliver interrupts and     exceptions, rather they are delivered once the first     instruction after the stack switch is executed. An     unprivileged system user could use this flaw to crash     the system kernel resulting in the denial of service.
    (CVE-2018-8897)

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

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - The acpi_smbus_hc_add function in drivers/acpi/sbshc.c     in the Linux kernel through 4.14.15 allows local users     to obtain sensitive address information by reading     dmesg data from an SBS HC printk call.(CVE-2018-5750i1/4%0

  - An issue was discovered in the btrfs filesystem code in     the Linux kernel. A use-after-free is possible in     try_merge_free_space() when mounting a crafted btrfs     image due to a lack of chunk type flag checks in     btrfs_check_chunk_valid() in the fs/btrfs/volumes.c     function. This could lead to a denial of service or     other unspecified impact.(CVE-2018-14611i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel visor     driver handles certain invalid USB device descriptors.
    The driver assumes that the device always has at least     one bulk OUT endpoint. By using a specially crafted USB     device (without a bulk OUT endpoint), an unprivileged     user with physical access could trigger a kernel     NULL-pointer dereference and cause a system panic     (denial of service).(CVE-2015-7566i1/4%0

  - It was found that the RFC 5961 challenge ACK rate     limiting as implemented in the Linux kernel's     networking subsystem allowed an off-path attacker to     leak certain information about a given connection by     creating congestion on the global challenge ACK rate     limit counter and then measuring the changes by probing     packets. An off-path attacker could use this flaw to     either terminate TCP connection and/or inject payload     into non-secured TCP connection between two endpoints     on the network.(CVE-2016-5696i1/4%0

  - It was found that the Bluebooth Network Encapsulation     Protocol (BNEP) implementation did not validate the     type of second socket passed to the BNEPCONNADD     ioctl(), which could lead to memory corruption. A local     user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability can use this for     denial of service (crash or data corruption) or     possibly for privilege escalation. Due to the nature of     the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled     out, although we feel it is unlikely.(CVE-2017-15868i1/4%0

  - A vulnerability was found in the key management     subsystem of the Linux kernel. An update on an     uninstantiated key could cause a kernel panic, leading     to denial of service (DoS).(CVE-2017-15299i1/4%0

  - The rfcomm_sock_bind function in     net/bluetooth/rfcomm/sock.c in the Linux kernel before     4.2 allows local users to obtain sensitive information     or cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference)     via vectors involving a bind system call on a Bluetooth     RFCOMM socket.(CVE-2015-8956i1/4%0

  - arch/mips/include/asm/thread_info.h in the Linux kernel     before 3.14.8 on the MIPS platform does not configure
    _TIF_SECCOMP checks on the fast system-call path, which     allows local users to bypass intended PR_SET_SECCOMP     restrictions by executing a crafted application without     invoking a trace or audit subsystem.(CVE-2014-4157i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem     code. A stack-out-of-bounds write in     ext4_update_inline_data() is possible when mounting and     writing to a crafted ext4 image. An attacker could use     this to cause a system crash and a denial of     service.(CVE-2018-10880i1/4%0

  - The aac_send_raw_srb function in     drivers/scsi/aacraid/commctrl.c in the Linux kernel     through 3.12.1 does not properly validate a certain     size value, which allows local users to cause a denial     of service (invalid pointer dereference) or possibly     have unspecified other impact via an     FSACTL_SEND_RAW_SRB ioctl call that triggers a crafted     SRB command.(CVE-2013-6380i1/4%0

  - Linux kernel built with the KVM visualization support     (CONFIG_KVM), with nested visualization(nVMX) feature     enabled(nested=1), is vulnerable to an uncaught     exception issue. It could occur if an L2 guest was to     throw an exception which is not handled by an L1     guest.(CVE-2016-9588i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the alarm_timer_nsleep() function     in kernel/time/alarmtimer.c in the Linux kernel. The     ktime_add_safe() function is not used and an integer     overflow can happen causing an alarm not to fire if     using a large relative timeout.(CVE-2018-13053i1/4%0

  - net/llc/sysctl_net_llc.c in the Linux kernel before     3.19 uses an incorrect data type in a sysctl table,     which allows local users to obtain potentially     sensitive information from kernel memory or possibly     have unspecified other impact by accessing a sysctl     entry.(CVE-2015-2041i1/4%0

  - Incorrect error handling in the set_mempolicy() and     mbind() compat syscalls in 'mm/mempolicy.c' in the     Linux kernel allows local users to obtain sensitive     information from uninitialized stack data by triggering     failure of a certain bitmap operation.(CVE-2017-7616i1/4%0

  - The snd_msnd_interrupt function in     sound/isa/msnd/msnd_pinnacle.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.11.7 allows local users to cause a denial of     service (over-boundary access) or possibly have     unspecified other impact by changing the value of a     message queue head pointer between two kernel reads of     that value, aka a 'double fetch'     vulnerability.(CVE-2017-9984i1/4%0

  - An integer overflow was discovered in the     qla2x00_sysfs_write_optrom_ctl function in     drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.12.10. This flaw allows local users to cause     a denial of service (memory corruption and system     crash) by leveraging root access.(CVE-2017-14051i1/4%0

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA)     implementation handled user controls. A local,     privileged user could use this flaw to crash the     system.(CVE-2014-4654i1/4%0

  - An information leak flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's Virtual Dynamic Shared Object (vDSO)     implementation performed address randomization. A     local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to leak     kernel memory addresses to user-space.(CVE-2014-9585i1/4%0

  - The usbhid_parse function in     drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c in the Linux kernel,     before 4.13.8, allows local users to cause a denial of     service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted     USB device.(CVE-2017-16533i1/4%0

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

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

  - It was found that the Linux kernel's implementation of     vectored pipe read and write functionality did not take     into account the I/O vectors that were already     processed when retrying after a failed atomic access     operation, potentially resulting in memory corruption     due to an I/O vector array overrun. A local,     unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the     system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on     the system.(CVE-2015-1805)

  - net/llc/sysctl_net_llc.c in the Linux kernel before     3.19 uses an incorrect data type in a sysctl table,     which allows local users to obtain potentially     sensitive information from kernel memory or possibly     have unspecified other impact by accessing a sysctl     entry.(CVE-2015-2041)

  - net/rds/sysctl.c in the Linux kernel before 3.19 uses     an incorrect data type in a sysctl table, which allows     local users to obtain potentially sensitive information     from kernel memory or possibly have unspecified other     impact by accessing a sysctl entry.(CVE-2015-2042)

  - Xen 3.3.x through 4.5.x and the Linux kernel through     3.19.1 do not properly restrict access to PCI command     registers, which might allow local guest OS users to     cause a denial of service (non-maskable interrupt and     host crash) by disabling the (1) memory or (2) I/O     decoding for a PCI Express device and then accessing     the device, which triggers an Unsupported Request (UR)     response.(CVE-2015-2150)

  - A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the     Linux kernel's early load microcode functionality. On a     system with UEFI Secure Boot enabled, a local,     privileged user could use this flaw to increase their     privileges to the kernel (ring0) level, bypassing     intended restrictions in place.(CVE-2015-2666)

  - The xsave/xrstor implementation in     arch/x86/include/asm/xsave.h in the Linux kernel before     3.19.2 creates certain .altinstr_replacement pointers     and consequently does not provide any protection     against instruction faulting, which allows local users     to cause a denial of service (panic) by triggering a     fault, as demonstrated by an unaligned memory operand     or a non-canonical address memory     operand.(CVE-2015-2672)

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's 32-bit     emulation implementation handled forking or closing of     a task with an 'int80' entry. A local user could     potentially use this flaw to escalate their privileges     on the system.(CVE-2015-2830)

  - It was found that the Linux kernel's TCP/IP protocol     suite implementation for IPv6 allowed the Hop Limit     value to be set to a smaller value than the default     one. An attacker on a local network could use this flaw     to prevent systems on that network from sending or     receiving network packets.(CVE-2015-2922)

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's file     system implementation handled rename operations in     which the source was inside and the destination was     outside of a bind mount. A privileged user inside a     container could use this flaw to escape the bind mount     and, potentially, escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2015-2925)

  - A race condition flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's SCTP implementation handled Address     Configuration lists when performing Address     Configuration Change (ASCONF). A local attacker could     use this flaw to crash the system via a race condition     triggered by setting certain ASCONF options on a     socket.(CVE-2015-3212)

  - mm/memory.c in the Linux kernel before 4.1.4 mishandles     anonymous pages, which allows local users to gain     privileges or cause a denial of service (page tainting)     via a crafted application that triggers writing to page     zero.(CVE-2015-3288)

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's nested     NMI handler and espfix64 functionalities interacted     during NMI processing. A local, unprivileged user could     use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially,     escalate their privileges on the system.(CVE-2015-3290)

  - It was found that if a Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI)     occurred immediately after a SYSCALL call or before a     SYSRET call with the user RSP pointing to the NMI IST     stack, the kernel could skip that NMI.(CVE-2015-3291)

  - A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's Intel AES-NI instructions optimized version of     the RFC4106 GCM mode decryption functionality handled     fragmented packets. A remote attacker could use this     flaw to crash, or potentially escalate their privileges     on, a system over a connection with an active AES-GCM     mode IPSec security association.(CVE-2015-3331)

  - A race condition flaw was found between the chown and     execve system calls.

  - It was found that the Linux kernel's ping socket     implementation did not properly handle socket unhashing     during spurious disconnects, which could lead to a     use-after-free flaw. On x86-64 architecture systems, a     local user able to create ping sockets could use this     flaw to crash the system. On non-x86-64 architecture     systems, a local user able to create ping sockets could     use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2015-3636)

  - An inode data validation error was found in Linux     kernels built with UDF file system (CONFIG_UDF_FS)     support. An attacker able to mount a     corrupted/malicious UDF file system image could cause     the kernel to crash.(CVE-2015-4167)

  - A flaw was discovered in the way the Linux kernel's TTY     subsystem handled the tty shutdown phase. A local,     unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause denial     of service on the system by holding a reference to the     ldisc lock during tty shutdown, causing a     deadlock.(CVE-2015-4170)

  - A flaw was discovered in the kernel's collect_mounts     function. If the kernel's audit subsystem called     collect_mounts to audit an unmounted path, it could     panic the system. With this flaw, an unprivileged user     could call umount(MNT_DETACH) to launch a     denial-of-service attack.(CVE-2015-4177)

  - A DoS flaw was found for a Linux kernel built for the     x86 architecture which had the KVM virtualization     support(CONFIG_KVM) enabled. The kernel would be     vulnerable to a NULL pointer dereference flaw in Linux     kernel's kvm_apic_has_events() function while doing an     ioctl. An unprivileged user able to access the     '/dev/kvm' device could use this flaw to crash the     system kernel.(CVE-2015-4692)

  - A flaw was found in the kernel's implementation of the     Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF). A local attacker could     craft BPF code to crash the system by creating a     situation in which the JIT compiler would fail to     correctly optimize the JIT image on the last pass. This     would lead to the CPU executing instructions that were     not part of the JIT code.(CVE-2015-4700)

  - A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's virtio-net subsystem handled certain fraglists     when the GRO (Generic Receive Offload) functionality     was enabled in a bridged network configuration. An     attacker on the local network could potentially use     this flaw to crash the system, or, although unlikely,     elevate their privileges on the system.(CVE-2015-5156)

NOTE: this vulnerability exists because     of an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-6937 (bnc#952384     953052).

  - CVE-2015-6937: The __rds_conn_create function in     net/rds/connection.c in the Linux kernel allowed local     users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and system crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact by using a socket that was not     properly bound (bnc#945825).

  - CVE-2015-7885: The dgnc_mgmt_ioctl function in     drivers/staging/dgnc/dgnc_mgmt.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.3.3 did not initialize a certain structure     member, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory via a crafted application     (bnc#951627).

  - CVE-2015-8215: net/ipv6/addrconf.c in the IPv6 stack in     the Linux kernel did not validate attempted changes to     the MTU value, which allowed context-dependent attackers     to cause a denial of service (packet loss) via a value     that is (1) smaller than the minimum compliant value or     (2) larger than the MTU of an interface, as demonstrated     by a Router Advertisement (RA) message that is not     validated by a daemon, a different vulnerability than     CVE-2015-0272. NOTE: the scope of CVE-2015-0272 is     limited to the NetworkManager product (bnc#955354).

  - CVE-2015-8767: A case can occur when sctp_accept() is     called by the user during a heartbeat timeout event     after the 4-way handshake. Since sctp_assoc_migrate()     changes both assoc->base.sk and assoc->ep, the     bh_sock_lock in sctp_generate_heartbeat_event() will be     taken with the listening socket but released with the     new association socket. The result is a deadlock on any     future attempts to take the listening socket lock.

The following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2015-5707: An integer overflow in the SCSI generic     driver could be potentially used by local attackers to     crash the kernel or execute code.

  - CVE-2015-2830: arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S in the Linux     kernel did not prevent the TS_COMPAT flag from reaching     a user-mode task, which might have allowed local users     to bypass the seccomp or audit protection mechanism via     a crafted application that uses the (1) fork or (2)     close system call, as demonstrated by an attack against     seccomp before 3.16 (bnc#926240).

  - CVE-2015-0777: drivers/xen/usbback/usbback.c in the     Linux kernel allowed guest OS users to obtain sensitive     information from uninitialized locations in host OS     kernel memory via unspecified vectors (bnc#917830).

  - CVE-2015-2150: Xen and the Linux kernel did not properly     restrict access to PCI command registers, which might     have allowed local guest users to cause a denial of     service (non-maskable interrupt and host crash) by     disabling the (1) memory or (2) I/O decoding for a PCI     Express device and then accessing the device, which     triggers an Unsupported Request (UR) response     (bnc#919463).

  - CVE-2015-5364: A remote denial of service (hang) via UDP     flood with incorrect package checksums was fixed.
    (bsc#936831).

  - CVE-2015-1420: CVE-2015-1420: Race condition in the     handle_to_path function in fs/fhandle.c in the Linux     kernel allowed 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     (bnc#915517).

  - CVE-2015-4700: A local user could have created a bad     instruction in the JIT processed BPF code, leading to a     kernel crash (bnc#935705).

  - CVE-2015-1805: The (1) pipe_read and (2) pipe_write     implementations in fs/pipe.c in the Linux kernel did not     properly consider the side effects of failed
    __copy_to_user_inatomic and __copy_from_user_inatomic     calls, which allowed local users to cause a denial of     service (system crash) or possibly gain privileges via a     crafted application, aka an 'I/O vector array overrun'     (bnc#933429).

  - CVE-2015-3331: The __driver_rfc4106_decrypt function in     arch/x86/crypto/aesni-intel_glue.c in the Linux kernel     did not properly determine the memory locations used for     encrypted data, which allowed context-dependent     attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow     and system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code by     triggering a crypto API call, as demonstrated by use of     a libkcapi test program with an AF_ALG(aead) socket     (bnc#927257).

  - CVE-2015-2922: The ndisc_router_discovery function in     net/ipv6/ndisc.c in the Neighbor Discovery (ND) protocol     implementation in the IPv6 stack in the Linux kernel     allowed remote attackers to reconfigure a hop-limit     setting via a small hop_limit value in a Router     Advertisement (RA) message (bnc#922583).

  - CVE-2015-2041: net/llc/sysctl_net_llc.c in the Linux     kernel used an incorrect data type in a sysctl table,     which allowed local users to obtain potentially     sensitive information from kernel memory or possibly     have unspecified other impact by accessing a sysctl     entry (bnc#919007).

  - CVE-2015-3636: The ping_unhash function in     net/ipv4/ping.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a     certain list data structure during an unhash operation,     which allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a     denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) by     leveraging the ability to make a SOCK_DGRAM socket     system call for the IPPROTO_ICMP or IPPROTO_ICMPV6     protocol, and then making a connect system call after a     disconnect (bnc#929525).

  - CVE-2014-8086: Race condition in the     ext4_file_write_iter function in fs/ext4/file.c in the     Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of     service (file unavailability) via a combination of a     write action and an F_SETFL fcntl operation for the     O_DIRECT flag (bnc#900881).

  - CVE-2014-8159: The InfiniBand (IB) implementation in the     Linux kernel did not properly restrict use of User Verbs     for registration of memory regions, which allowed local     users to access arbitrary physical memory locations, and     consequently cause a denial of service (system crash) or     gain privileges, by leveraging permissions on a uverbs     device under /dev/infiniband/ (bnc#914742).

  - CVE-2014-9683: Off-by-one error in the     ecryptfs_decode_from_filename function in     fs/ecryptfs/crypto.c in the eCryptfs subsystem in the     Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of     service (buffer overflow and system crash) or possibly     gain privileges via a crafted filename (bnc#918333).

  - CVE-2015-2042: net/rds/sysctl.c in the Linux kernel used     an incorrect data type in a sysctl table, which allowed     local users to obtain potentially sensitive information     from kernel memory or possibly have unspecified other     impact by accessing a sysctl entry (bnc#919018).

  - CVE-2015-1421: Use-after-free vulnerability in the     sctp_assoc_update function in net/sctp/associola.c in     the Linux kernel allowed remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (slab corruption and panic) or     possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering an     INIT collision that leads to improper handling of     shared-key data (bnc#915577).

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.

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 openSUSE 13.2 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

Following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2015-3290: A flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernels nested NMI handler and espfix64 functionalities     interacted during NMI processing. A local, unprivileged     user could use this flaw to crash the system or,     potentially, escalate their privileges on the system.

  - CVE-2015-3212: A race condition flaw was found in the     way the Linux kernels SCTP implementation handled     Address Configuration lists when performing Address     Configuration Change (ASCONF). A local attacker could     use this flaw to crash the system via a race condition     triggered by setting certain ASCONF options on a socket.

  - CVE-2015-1420: Race condition in the handle_to_path     function in fs/fhandle.c in the Linux kernel allowed     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 (bnc#915517).

  - CVE-2015-4692: The kvm_apic_has_events function in     arch/x86/kvm/lapic.h in the Linux kernel allowed local     users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and system crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact by leveraging /dev/kvm access     for an ioctl call (bnc#935542).

  - CVE-2015-4167 CVE-2014-9728 CVE-2014-9730 CVE-2014-9729     CVE-2014-9731: Various problems in the UDF filesystem     were fixed that could lead to crashes when mounting     prepared udf filesystems.

  - CVE-2015-4002: drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozusbsvc1.c in the     OZWPAN driver in the Linux kernel did not ensure that     certain length values are sufficiently large, which     allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (system crash or large loop) or possibly execute     arbitrary code via a crafted packet, related to the (1)     oz_usb_rx and (2) oz_usb_handle_ep_data functions     (bnc#933934).

  - CVE-2015-4003: The oz_usb_handle_ep_data function in     drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozusbsvc1.c in the OZWPAN driver     in the Linux kernel allowed remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (divide-by-zero error and system     crash) via a crafted packet (bnc#933934).

  - CVE-2015-4001: Integer signedness error in the     oz_hcd_get_desc_cnf function in     drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozhcd.c in the OZWPAN driver in     the Linux kernel allowed remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute     arbitrary code via a crafted packet (bnc#933934).

  - CVE-2015-2922: The ndisc_router_discovery function in     net/ipv6/ndisc.c in the Neighbor Discovery (ND) protocol     implementation in the IPv6 stack in the Linux kernel     allowed remote attackers to reconfigure a hop-limit     setting via a small hop_limit value in a Router     Advertisement (RA) message (bnc#922583).

  - CVE-2015-3636: It was found that the Linux kernels ping     socket implementation did not properly handle socket     unhashing during spurious disconnects, which could lead     to a use-after-free flaw. On x86-64 architecture     systems, a local user able to create ping sockets could     use this flaw to crash the system. On non-x86-64     architecture systems, a local user able to create ping     sockets could use this flaw to escalate their privileges     on the system.

  - CVE-2015-2041: net/llc/sysctl_net_llc.c in the Linux     kernel used an incorrect data type in a sysctl table,     which allowed local users to obtain potentially     sensitive information from kernel memory or possibly     have unspecified other impact by accessing a sysctl     entry (bnc#919007).

  - CVE-2015-3339: Race condition in the prepare_binprm     function in fs/exec.c in the Linux kernel allowed local     users to gain privileges by executing a setuid program     at a time instant when a chown to root is in progress,     and the ownership is changed but the setuid bit is not     yet stripped.

  - CVE-2015-1465: The IPv4 implementation in the Linux     kernel did not properly consider the length of the     Read-Copy Update (RCU) grace period for redirecting     lookups in the absence of caching, which allowed remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (memory     consumption or system crash) via a flood of packets     (bnc#916225).

(bnc#928130)

CVE-2015-3331: The __driver_rfc4106_decrypt function in arch/x86/crypto/aesni-intel_glue.c in the Linux kernel before 3.19.3 does not properly determine the memory locations used for encrypted data, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code by triggering a crypto API call, as demonstrated by use of a libkcapi test program with an AF_ALG(aead) socket. (bnc#927257)

CVE-2015-2922: The ndisc_router_discovery function in net/ipv6/ndisc.c in the Neighbor Discovery (ND) protocol implementation in the IPv6 stack in the Linux kernel before 3.19.6 allows remote attackers to reconfigure a hop-limit setting via a small hop_limit value in a Router Advertisement (RA) message. (bnc#922583)

CVE-2015-2830: arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S in the Linux kernel before 3.19.2 does not prevent the TS_COMPAT flag from reaching a user-mode task, which might allow local users to bypass the seccomp or audit protection mechanism via a crafted application that uses the (1) fork or (2) close system call, as demonstrated by an attack against seccomp before 3.16. (bnc#926240)

CVE-2015-2150: XSA-120: Xen 3.3.x through 4.5.x and the Linux kernel through 3.19.1 do not properly restrict access to PCI command registers, which might allow local guest users to cause a denial of service (non-maskable interrupt and host crash) by disabling the (1) memory or (2) I/O decoding for a PCI Express device and then accessing the device, which triggers an Unsupported Request (UR) response.
(bnc#919463)

CVE-2015-2042: net/rds/sysctl.c in the Linux kernel before 3.19 uses an incorrect data type in a sysctl table, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory or possibly have unspecified other impact by accessing a sysctl entry.
(bnc#919018)

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.

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.

CVE-2014-4654: The snd_ctl_elem_add function in sound/core/control.c in the ALSA control implementation in the Linux kernel did not check authorization for SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_ELEM_REPLACE commands, which allowed local users to remove kernel controls and cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) by leveraging /dev/snd/controlCX access for an ioctl call (bnc#883795).

CVE-2014-4655: The snd_ctl_elem_add function in sound/core/control.c in the ALSA control implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly maintain the user_ctl_count value, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and limit bypass) by leveraging /dev/snd/controlCX access for a large number of SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_ELEM_REPLACE ioctl calls (bnc#883795).

CVE-2014-4653: sound/core/control.c in the ALSA control implementation in the Linux kernel did not ensure possession of a read/write lock, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) and obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by leveraging /dev/snd/controlCX access (bnc#883795).

CVE-2014-4656: Multiple integer overflows in sound/core/control.c in the ALSA control implementation in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service by leveraging /dev/snd/controlCX access, related to (1) index values in the snd_ctl_add function and (2) numid values in the snd_ctl_remove_numid_conflict function (bnc#883795).

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks.

  - 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-2014-9715     It was found that the netfilter connection tracking     subsystem used too small a type as an offset within each     connection's data structure, following a bug fix in     Linux 3.2.33 and 3.6. In some configurations, this would     lead to memory corruption and crashes (even without     malicious traffic). This could potentially also result     in violation of the netfilter policy or remote code     execution.

  This can be mitigated by disabling connection tracking   accounting:sysctl net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_acct=0

  - 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-2015-2150     Jan Beulich discovered that Xen guests are currently     permitted to modify all of the (writable) bits in the     PCI command register of devices passed through to them.
    This in particular allows them to disable memory and I/O     decoding on the device unless the device is an SR-IOV     virtual function, which can result in denial of service     to the host.

  - 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=0sysctl   net.ipv6.conf.<interface>.accept_ra=0

  - CVE-2015-3331     Stephan Mueller discovered that the optimised     implementation of RFC4106 GCM for x86 processors that     support AESNI miscalculated buffer addresses in some     cases. If an IPsec tunnel is configured to use this mode     (also known as AES-GCM-ESP) this can lead to memory     corruption and crashes (even without malicious traffic).
    This could potentially also result in remote code     execution.

  - CVE-2015-3332     Ben Hutchings discovered that the TCP Fast Open feature     regressed in Linux 3.16.7-ckt9, resulting in a kernel     BUG when it is used. This can be used as a local denial     of service.

  - 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.
