The ioresources_init function in kernel/resource.c in the Linux kernel through 4.7, as used in Android before 2016-08-05 on Nexus 6 and 7 (2013) devices, uses weak permissions for /proc/iomem, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading this file, aka Android internal bug 28814213 and Qualcomm internal bug CR786116. NOTE: the permissions may be intentional in most non-Android contexts.

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 pagemap_open function in fs/proc/task_mmu.c in the     Linux kernel before 3.19.3, as used in Android 6.0.1     before 2016-03-01, allows local users to obtain     sensitive physical-address information by reading a     pagemap file, aka Android internal bug     25739721.(CVE-2016-0823i1/4%0

  - drivers/hid/hid-steelseries.c in the Human Interface     Device (HID) subsystem in the Linux kernel through     3.11, when CONFIG_HID_STEELSERIES is enabled, allows     physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of     service (heap-based out-of-bounds write) via a crafted     device.(CVE-2013-2891i1/4%0

  - The overlayfs implementation in the Linux kernel     through 4.5.2 does not properly maintain POSIX ACL     xattr data, which allows local users to gain privileges     by leveraging a group-writable setgid     directory.(CVE-2016-1575i1/4%0

  - Integer overflow in the vc4_get_bcl function in     drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_gem.c in the VideoCore DRM     driver in the Linux kernel before 4.9.7 allows local     users to cause a denial of service or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted size value in a     VC4_SUBMIT_CL ioctl call.(CVE-2017-5576i1/4%0

  - The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.12.5     allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial     of service (system crash) via a VAPIC synchronization     operation involving a page-end     address.(CVE-2013-6368i1/4%0

  - It was found that the code in net/sctp/socket.c in the     Linux kernel through 4.10.1 does not properly restrict     association peel-off operations during certain wait     states, which allows local users to cause a denial of     service (invalid unlock and double free) via a     multithreaded application. This vulnerability was     introduced by CVE-2017-5986 fix (commit     2dcab5984841).(CVE-2017-6353i1/4%0

  - net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto_dccp.c in the Linux     kernel through 3.13.6 uses a DCCP header pointer     incorrectly, which allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute     arbitrary code via a DCCP packet that triggers a call     to the (1) dccp_new, (2) dccp_packet, or (3) dccp_error     function.(CVE-2014-2523i1/4%0

  - Race condition vulnerability was found in     drivers/misc/mic/vop/vop_vringh.c in the MIC VOP driver     in the Linux kernel before 4.6.1. MIC VOP driver does     two successive reads from user space to read a variable     length data structure. Local user can obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory or can cause DoS by     corrupting kernel memory if the data structure changes     between the two reads.(CVE-2016-5728i1/4%0

  - An issue was discovered in the btrfs filesystem code in     the Linux kernel. An invalid pointer dereference in     io_ctl_map_page() when mounting and operating a crafted     btrfs image is due to a lack of block group item     validation in check_leaf_item() in     fs/btrfs/tree-checker.c function. This could lead to a     system crash and a denial of service.(CVE-2018-14613i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel handled GS     segment register base switching when recovering from a     #SS (stack segment) fault on an erroneous return to     user space. A local, unprivileged user could use this     flaw to escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2014-9322i1/4%0

  - The keyring_search_aux function in     security/keys/keyring.c in the Linux kernel allows     local users to cause a denial of service via a     request_key system call for the 'dead' key     type.(CVE-2017-6951i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's XFS file     system handled replacing of remote attributes under     certain conditions. A local user with access to XFS     file system mount could potentially use this flaw to     escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2015-0274i1/4%0

  - A memory leak in the kernel_read_file function in     fs/exec.c in the Linux kernel through 4.20.11 allows     attackers to cause a denial of service (memory     consumption) by triggering vfs_read     failures.(CVE-2019-8980i1/4%0

  - 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-2015-4700i1/4%0

  - A security flaw was discovered in     nl80211_set_rekey_data() function in the Linux kernel     since v3.1-rc1 through v4.13. This function does not     check whether the required attributes are present in a     netlink request. This request can be issued by a user     with CAP_NET_ADMIN privilege and may result in NULL     dereference and a system crash.(CVE-2017-12153i1/4%0

  - The atyfb_ioctl function in     drivers/video/fbdev/aty/atyfb_base.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.12.10 does not initialize a certain     data structure, which allows local users to obtain     sensitive information from kernel stack memory by     reading locations associated with padding     bytes.(CVE-2017-14156i1/4%0

  - kernel/events/core.c in the performance subsystem in     the Linux kernel before 4.0 mismanages locks during     certain migrations, which allows local users to gain     privileges via a crafted application, aka Android     internal bug 31095224.(CVE-2016-6787i1/4%0

  - The ioresources_init function in kernel/resource.c in     the Linux kernel through 4.7, as used in Android before     2016-08-05 on Nexus 6 and 7 (2013) devices, uses weak     permissions for /proc/iomem, which allows local users     to obtain sensitive information by reading this file,     aka Android internal bug 28814213 and Qualcomm internal     bug CR786116. NOTE: the permissions may be intentional     in most non-Android contexts.(CVE-2015-8944i1/4%0

  - Race condition in the ioctl_file_dedupe_range function     in fs/ioctl.c in the Linux kernel through 4.7 allows     local users to cause a denial of service (heap-based     buffer overflow) or possibly gain privileges by     changing a certain count value, aka a 'double fetch'     vulnerability.(CVE-2016-6516i1/4%0

  - It was found that the timer functionality in the Linux     kernel ALSA subsystem is prone to a race condition     between read and ioctl system call handlers, resulting     in an uninitialized memory disclosure to user space. A     local user could use this flaw to read information     belonging to other users.(CVE-2017-1000380i1/4%0

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

  - An information-leak vulnerability was found in the     kernel when it truncated a file to a smaller size which     consisted of an inline extent that was compressed. The     data between the new file size and the old file size     was not discarded and the number of bytes used by the     inode were not correctly decremented, which gave the     wrong report for callers of the stat(2) syscall. This     wasted metadata space and allowed for the truncated     data to be leaked, and data corruption or loss to     occur. A caller of the clone ioctl could exploit this     flaw by using only standard file-system operations     without root access to read the truncated     data.(CVE-2015-8374)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's key management     system where it was possible for an attacker to     escalate privileges or crash the machine. If a user key     gets negatively instantiated, an error code is cached     in the payload area. A negatively instantiated key may     be then be positively instantiated by updating it with     valid data. However, the -i1/4zupdate key type method     must be aware that the error code may be     there.(CVE-2015-8539)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way     the Linux kernel's network subsystem handled socket     creation with an invalid protocol identifier. A local     user could use this flaw to crash the     system.(CVE-2015-8543)

  - An out-of-bounds flaw was found in the kernel, where     the length of the sockaddr parameter was not checked in     the pptp_bind() and pptp_connect() functions. As a     result, more kernel memory was copied out than     required, leaking information from the kernel stack     (including kernel addresses). A local system user could     exploit this flaw to bypass kernel ASLR or leak other     information.(CVE-2015-8569)

  - An out-of-bounds flaw was found in the kernel, where     the sco_sock_bind() function (bluetooth/sco) did not     check the length of its sockaddr parameter. As a     result, more kernel memory was copied out than     required, leaking information from the kernel stack     (including kernel addresses). A local user could     exploit this flaw to bypass kernel ASLR or leak other     information.(CVE-2015-8575)

  - The ovl_setattr function in fs/overlayfs/inode.c in the     Linux kernel through 4.3.3 attempts to merge distinct     setattr operations, which allows local users to bypass     intended access restrictions and modify the attributes     of arbitrary overlay files via a crafted     application.(CVE-2015-8660)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux     kernel: the NFSv4.2 migration code improperly     initialized the kernel structure. A local,     authenticated user could use this flaw to cause a panic     of the NFS client (denial of service).(CVE-2015-8746)

  - A race condition flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's SCTP implementation handled sctp_accept()     during the processing of heartbeat timeout events. A     remote attacker could use this flaw to prevent further     connections to be accepted by the SCTP server running     on the system, resulting in a denial of     service.(CVE-2015-8767)

  - An infinite-loop flaw was found in the kernel. When a     local user calls the sys_writev syscall with a     specially crafted sequence of iov structs, the     fuse_fill_write_pages kernel function might never     terminate, instead continuing in a tight loop. This     process cannot be terminated and requires a     reboot.(CVE-2015-8785)

  - A NULL-pointer dereference vulnerability was found in     the Linux kernel's TCP stack, in     net/netfilter/nf_nat_redirect.c in the     nf_nat_redirect_ipv4() function. A remote,     unauthenticated user could exploit this flaw to create     a system crash (denial of service).(CVE-2015-8787)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the CXGB3 kernel     driver when the network was considered to be congested.
    The kernel incorrectly misinterpreted the congestion as     an error condition and incorrectly freed or cleaned up     the socket buffer (skb). When the device then sent the     skb's queued data, these structures were referenced. A     local attacker could use this flaw to panic the system     (denial of service) or, with a local account, escalate     their privileges.(CVE-2015-8812)

  - The hub_activate function in drivers/usb/core/hub.c in     the Linux kernel before 4.3.5 does not properly     maintain a hub-interface data structure, which allows     physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of     service (invalid memory access and system crash) or     possibly have unspecified other impact by unplugging a     USB hub device.(CVE-2015-8816)

  - The ioresources_init function in kernel/resource.c in     the Linux kernel through 4.7, as used in Android before     2016-08-05 on Nexus 6 and 7 (2013) devices, uses weak     permissions for /proc/iomem, which allows local users     to obtain sensitive information by reading this file,     aka Android internal bug 28814213 and Qualcomm internal     bug CR786116. NOTE: the permissions may be intentional     in most non-Android contexts.(CVE-2015-8944)

  - 'A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of overlayfs. An attacker can leak file resources in     the system by opening a large file with write     permissions on a overlay filesystem that is     insufficient to deal with the size of the write.

  - When unmounting the underlying device, the system is     unable to free an inode and this will consume     resources. Repeating this for all available inodes and     memory will create a denial of service     situation.(CVE-2015-8953)'

  - 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-2015-8956)

  - A flaw was found in the ext4 subsystem. This     vulnerability is a use after free vulnerability was     found in __ext4_journal_stop(). Attackers could abuse     this to allow any code which attempts to deal with the     journal failure to be mishandled or not fail at all.
    This could lead to data corruption or     crashes.(CVE-2015-8961)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel SCSI subsystem,     which allowed a local user to gain privileges or cause     a denial of service (memory corruption and system     crash) by issuing an SG_IO ioctl call while a device     was being detached.(CVE-2015-8962)

  - Race condition in kernel/events/core.c in the Linux     kernel before 4.4 allows local users to gain privileges     or cause a denial of service via use-after-free     vulnerability by leveraging incorrect handling of an     swevent data structure during a CPU unplug     operation.(CVE-2015-8963)

  - The tty_set_termios_ldisc() function in     'drivers/tty/tty_ldisc.c' in the Linux kernel before     4.5 allows local users to obtain sensitive information     from kernel memory by reading a tty data     structure.(CVE-2015-8964)

  - The lrw_crypt() function in 'crypto/lrw.c' in the Linux     kernel before 4.5 allows local users to cause a system     crash and a denial of service by the NULL pointer     dereference via accept(2) system call for AF_ALG socket     without calling setkey() first to set a cipher     key.(CVE-2015-8970)

  - It was found that kernel/events/core.c in the Linux     kernel mishandles counter grouping, which allows local     users to gain privileges via a crafted application,     related to the perf_pmu_register and perf_event_open     functions.(CVE-2015-9004)

  - A use-after-free flaw was discovered in the Linux     kernel's tty subsystem, which allows for the disclosure     of uncontrolled memory location and possible kernel     panic. The information leak is caused by a race     condition when attempting to set and read the tty line     discipline. A local attacker could use the TIOCSETD     (via tty_set_ldisc ) to switch to a new line discipline     a concurrent call to a TIOCGETD ioctl performing a read     on a given tty could then access previously allocated     memory. Up to 4 bytes could be leaked when querying the     line discipline or the kernel could panic with a     NULL-pointer dereference.(CVE-2016-0723)

  - The tty_set_termios_ldisc function in drivers/tty/tty_ldisc.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5 allows local     users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by reading a tty data structure. (CVE-2015-8964)

  - arch/arm/kernel/sys_oabi-compat.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4 allows local users to gain privileges via     a crafted (1) F_OFD_GETLK, (2) F_OFD_SETLK, or (3) F_OFD_SETLKW command in an fcntl64 system call.
    (CVE-2015-8966)

  - arch/arm64/kernel/sys.c in the Linux kernel before 4.0 allows local users to bypass the strict page     permissions protection mechanism and modify the system-call table, and consequently gain privileges, by     leveraging write access. (CVE-2015-8967)

  - The sg implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.9 does not properly restrict write operations in     situations where the KERNEL_DS option is set, which allows local users to read or write to arbitrary     kernel memory locations or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by leveraging access to a /dev/sg     device, related to block/bsg.c and drivers/scsi/sg.c. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an     incomplete fix for CVE-2016-9576. (CVE-2016-10088)

  - sound/core/timer.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11.5 is vulnerable to a data race in the ALSA     /dev/snd/timer driver resulting in local users being able to read information belonging to other users,     i.e., uninitialized memory contents may be disclosed when a read and an ioctl happen at the same time.
    (CVE-2017-1000380)

  - The vmw_gb_surface_define_ioctl function in drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.10.7 does not validate certain levels data, which allows local users to cause a denial of     service (system hang) via a crafted ioctl call for a /dev/dri/renderD* device. (CVE-2017-7346)

  - The NFSv2 and NFSv3 server implementations in the Linux kernel through 4.10.13 lack certain checks for the     end of a buffer, which allows remote attackers to trigger pointer-arithmetic errors or possibly have     unspecified other impact via crafted requests, related to fs/nfsd/nfs3xdr.c and fs/nfsd/nfsxdr.c.
    (CVE-2017-7895)

  - The edge_bulk_in_callback function in drivers/usb/serial/io_ti.c in the Linux kernel before 4.10.4 allows     local users to obtain sensitive information (in the dmesg ringbuffer and syslog) from uninitialized kernel     memory by using a crafted USB device (posing as an io_ti USB serial device) to trigger an integer     underflow. (CVE-2017-8924)

  - The omninet_open function in drivers/usb/serial/omninet.c in the Linux kernel before 4.10.4 allows local     users to cause a denial of service (tty exhaustion) by leveraging reference count mishandling.
    (CVE-2017-8925)

  - The vmw_gb_surface_define_ioctl function (accessible via DRM_IOCTL_VMW_GB_SURFACE_CREATE) in     drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.4 defines a backup_handle     variable but does not give it an initial value. If one attempts to create a GB surface, with a previously     allocated DMA buffer to be used as a backup buffer, the backup_handle variable does not get written to and     is then later returned to user space, allowing local users to obtain sensitive information from     uninitialized kernel memory via a crafted ioctl call. (CVE-2017-9605)
