The remote Oracle Linux 6 / 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2019-4316 advisory.    - The Linux kernel, as used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, kernel-rt, and Enterprise MRG 2 and when booted     with UEFI Secure Boot enabled, allows local users to bypass intended securelevel/secureboot restrictions     by leveraging improper handling of secure_boot flag across kexec reboot. (CVE-2015-7837)    - The IPv6 stack in the Linux kernel before 4.3.3 mishandles options data, which allows local users to gain     privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) via a crafted sendmsg system     call. (CVE-2016-3841)    - The tcpmss_mangle_packet function in net/netfilter/xt_TCPMSS.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11, and 4.9.x     before 4.9.36, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and memory corruption)     or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging the presence of xt_TCPMSS in an iptables action.     (CVE-2017-18017)    - In the Linux kernel 4.12, 3.10, 2.6 and possibly earlier versions a race condition vulnerability exists in     the sound system, this can lead to a deadlock and denial of service condition. (CVE-2018-1000004)    - The Salsa20 encryption algorithm in the Linux kernel before 4.14.8 does not correctly handle zero-length     inputs, allowing a local attacker able to use the AF_ALG-based skcipher interface     (CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_SKCIPHER) to cause a denial of service (uninitialized-memory free and kernel     crash) or have unspecified other impact by executing a crafted sequence of system calls that use the     blkcipher_walk API. Both the generic implementation (crypto/salsa20_generic.c) and x86 implementation     (arch/x86/crypto/salsa20_glue.c) of Salsa20 were vulnerable. (CVE-2017-17805)    - The ext4_iget function in fs/ext4/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 4.15.15 mishandles the case of a     root directory with a zero i_links_count, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service     (ext4_process_freed_data NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) via a crafted ext4 image. (CVE-2018-1092)    - In the function wmi_set_ie(), the length validation code does not handle unsigned integer overflow     properly. As a result, a large value of the 'ie_len' argument can cause a buffer overflow in all Android     releases from CAF (Android for MSM, Firefox OS for MSM, QRD Android) using the Linux Kernel.     (CVE-2018-5848)    - Memory leak in the sas_smp_get_phy_events function in drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_expander.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.15.7 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via many read     accesses to files in the /sys/class/sas_phy directory, as demonstrated by the     /sys/class/sas_phy/phy-1:0:12/invalid_dword_count file. (CVE-2018-7757)    - It was found that the raw midi kernel driver does not protect against concurrent access which leads to a     double realloc (double free) in snd_rawmidi_input_params() and snd_rawmidi_output_status() which are part     of snd_rawmidi_ioctl() handler in rawmidi.c file. A malicious local attacker could possibly use this for     privilege escalation. (CVE-2018-10902)    - An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the kernel scsi driver. Product: Android. Versions: Android     kernel.
Android ID A-65023233. (CVE-2017-13168)    - ** DISPUTED ** Linux Kernel version 3.18 to 4.16 incorrectly handles an SG_IO ioctl on /dev/sg0 with     dxfer_direction=SG_DXFER_FROM_DEV and an empty 6-byte cmdp. This may lead to copying up to 1000 kernel     heap pages to the userspace. This has been fixed upstream in     http://www.nessus.org/u?5d4e77b1 already. The problem has     limited scope, as users don't usually have permissions to access SCSI devices. On the other hand, e.g. the     Nero user manual suggests doing `chmod o+r+w /dev/sg*` to make the devices accessible. NOTE: third parties     dispute the relevance of this report, noting that the requirement for an attacker to have both the CAP_SYS_ADMIN and CAP_SYS_RAWIO capabilities makes it virtually impossible to exploit.     (CVE-2018-1000204)    - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.19. An information leak in cdrom_ioctl_select_disc     in drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c could be used by local attackers to read kernel memory because a cast from     unsigned long to int interferes with bounds checking. This is similar to CVE-2018-10940 and     CVE-2018-16658. (CVE-2018-18710)    - 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 msr_mtrr_valid function in arch/x86/kvm/mtrr.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6.1 supports MSR 0x2f8,     which allows guest OS users to read or write to the kvm_arch_vcpu data structure, and consequently obtain     sensitive information or cause a denial of service (system crash), via a crafted ioctl call.     (CVE-2016-3713)    - The HMAC implementation (crypto/hmac.c) in the Linux kernel before 4.14.8 does not validate that the     underlying cryptographic hash algorithm is unkeyed, allowing a local attacker able to use the AF_ALG-based     hash interface (CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_HASH) and the SHA-3 hash algorithm (CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA3) to cause a     kernel stack buffer overflow by executing a crafted sequence of system calls that encounter a missing     SHA-3 initialization. (CVE-2017-17806)    - An issue was discovered in the fd_locked_ioctl function in drivers/block/floppy.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.15.7. The floppy driver will copy a kernel pointer to user memory in response to the FDGETPRM     ioctl. An attacker can send the FDGETPRM ioctl and use the obtained kernel pointer to discover the location of kernel code and data and bypass kernel security protections such as KASLR. (CVE-2018-7755)    - ** DISPUTED
** drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_scsi_host.c in the Linux kernel before 4.16 allows local users to     cause a denial of service (ata qc leak) by triggering certain failure conditions. NOTE: a third party     disputes the relevance of this report because the failure can only occur for physically proximate     attackers who unplug SAS Host Bus Adapter cables.
(CVE-2018-10021)    - drivers/input/serio/i8042.c in the Linux kernel before 4.12.4 allows attackers to cause a denial of     service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact because the port->exists value can change after it is validated. (CVE-2017-18079)    - An integer overflow in the qla2x00_sysfs_write_optrom_ctl function in drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.c in     the Linux kernel through 4.12.10 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and     system crash) by leveraging root access.
(CVE-2017-14051)    - net/netfilter/xt_osf.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.4 does not require the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability     for add_callback and remove_callback operations, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions because the xt_osf_fingers data structure is shared across all net namespaces.     (CVE-2017-17450)    - ** DISPUTED ** Race condition in the store_int_with_restart() function in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c     in the Linux kernel through 4.15.7 allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) by leveraging     root access to write to the check_interval file in a /sys/devices/system/machinecheck/machinecheck directory. NOTE: a third party has indicated that this report is not security relevant.     (CVE-2018-7995)    - In hid_debug_events_read of drivers/hid/hid-debug.c, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a     missing bounds check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges     needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

  - Race condition in the tty_ioctl function in drivers/tty/tty_io.c in the Linux kernel through 4.4.1 allows     local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (use-after-     free and system crash) by making a TIOCGETD ioctl call during processing of a TIOCSETD ioctl call.
    (CVE-2016-0723)

  - fs/pipe.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5 does not limit the amount of unread data in pipes, which allows     local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by creating many pipes with non-default     sizes. (CVE-2016-2847)

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

Updated kernel-rt packages that fix multiple security issues, several bugs, and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

The kernel-rt packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

* 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, Important)

* A race condition flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's IPC subsystem initialized certain fields in an IPC object structure that were later used for permission checking before inserting the object into a globally visible list. A local, unprivileged user could potentially use this flaw to elevate their privileges on the system.
(CVE-2015-7613, Important)

* It was found that the Linux kernel memory resource controller's (memcg) handling of OOM (out of memory) conditions could lead to deadlocks. An attacker able to continuously spawn new processes within a single memory-constrained cgroup during an OOM event could use this flaw to lock up the system. (CVE-2014-8171, Moderate)

* A race condition flaw was found between the chown and execve system calls. When changing the owner of a setuid user binary to root, the race condition could momentarily make the binary setuid root. A local, unprivileged user could potentially use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2015-3339, Moderate)

* 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 a denial of service on the system by holding a reference to the ldisc lock during tty shutdown, causing a deadlock.
(CVE-2015-4170, Moderate)

* A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the SCTP implementation. A local user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service on the system by triggering a kernel panic when creating multiple sockets in parallel while the system did not have the SCTP module loaded. (CVE-2015-5283, Moderate)

* 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-2013-7421, CVE-2014-9644, Low)

* An information leak flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel changed certain segment registers and thread-local storage (TLS) during a context switch. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to leak the user space TLS base address of an arbitrary process.
(CVE-2014-9419, Low)

* A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel handled the securelevel functionality after performing a kexec operation. A local attacker could use this flaw to bypass the security mechanism of the securelevel/secureboot combination. (CVE-2015-7837, Low)

A local, unprivileged user could potentially use this flaw to elevate their privileges on the system.
(CVE-2015-7613, Important)

* It was found that reporting emulation failures to user space could lead to either a local (CVE-2014-7842) or a L2->L1 (CVE-2010-5313) denial of service. In the case of a local denial of service, an attacker must have access to the MMIO area or be able to access an I/O port. (CVE-2010-5313, CVE-2014-7842, Moderate)

* A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's KVM subsystem handled non-canonical addresses when emulating instructions that change the RIP (for example, branches or calls). A guest user with access to an I/O or MMIO region could use this flaw to crash the guest.
(CVE-2014-3647, Moderate)

* It was found that the Linux kernel memory resource controller's (memcg) handling of OOM (out of memory) conditions could lead to deadlocks. An attacker could use this flaw to lock up the system.
(CVE-2014-8171, Moderate)

* 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-2013-7421, CVE-2014-9644, Low)

* An information leak flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel changed certain segment registers and thread-local storage (TLS) during a context switch. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to leak the user space TLS base address of an arbitrary process.
(CVE-2014-9419, Low)

* It was found that the Linux kernel KVM subsystem's sysenter instruction emulation was not sufficient. An unprivileged guest user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges by tricking the hypervisor to emulate a SYSENTER instruction in 16-bit mode, if the guest OS did not initialize the SYSENTER model-specific registers (MSRs). Note: Certified guest operating systems for Scientific Linux with KVM do initialize the SYSENTER MSRs and are thus not vulnerable to this issue when running on a KVM hypervisor. (CVE-2015-0239, Low)

* A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel handled the securelevel functionality after performing a kexec operation. A local attacker could use this flaw to bypass the security mechanism of the securelevel/secureboot combination. (CVE-2015-7837, Low)

The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2015-2152 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 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 memory resource controller (aka memcg) in the Linux kernel allows local users to cause a denial of     service (deadlock) by spawning new processes within a memory-constrained cgroup. (CVE-2014-8171)

  - 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 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)

  - Race condition in the prepare_binprm function in fs/exec.c in the Linux kernel before 3.19.6 allows 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-2015-3339)

  - Race condition in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.38 allows L2 guest OS users to cause a     denial of service (L1 guest OS crash) via a crafted instruction that triggers an L2 emulation failure     report, a similar issue to CVE-2014-7842. (CVE-2010-5313)

  - arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 does not properly perform     RIP changes, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) via a crafted     application. (CVE-2014-3647)

  - Race condition in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in the Linux kernel before 3.17.4 allows guest OS users to cause a     denial of service (guest OS crash) via a crafted application that performs an MMIO transaction or a PIO     transaction to trigger a guest userspace emulation error report, a similar issue to CVE-2010-5313.
    (CVE-2014-7842)

  - The prepend_path function in fs/dcache.c in the Linux kernel before 4.2.4 does not properly handle rename     actions inside a bind mount, which allows local users to bypass an intended container protection mechanism     by renaming a directory, related to a double-chroot attack. (CVE-2015-2925)

  - Race condition in the ldsem_cmpxchg function in drivers/tty/tty_ldsem.c in the Linux kernel before     3.13-rc4-next-20131218 allows local users to cause a denial of service (ldsem_down_read and     ldsem_down_write deadlock) by establishing a new tty thread during shutdown of a previous tty thread.
    (CVE-2015-4170)

  - The sctp_init function in net/sctp/protocol.c in the Linux kernel before 4.2.3 has an incorrect sequence     of protocol-initialization steps, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic or memory     corruption) by creating SCTP sockets before all of the steps have finished. (CVE-2015-5283)

  - The perf_callchain_user_64 function in arch/powerpc/perf/callchain.c in the Linux kernel before 4.0.2 on     ppc64 platforms allows local users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a deep 64-bit     userspace backtrace. (CVE-2015-6526)

  - Race condition in the IPC object implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.2.3 allows local users to     gain privileges by triggering an ipc_addid call that leads to uid and gid comparisons against     uninitialized data, related to msg.c, shm.c, and util.c. (CVE-2015-7613)

  - The Linux kernel, as used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, kernel-rt, and Enterprise MRG 2 and when booted     with UEFI Secure Boot enabled, allows local users to bypass intended securelevel/secureboot restrictions     by leveraging improper handling of secure_boot flag across kexec reboot. (CVE-2015-7837)
