The treo_attach function in drivers/usb/serial/visor.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5 allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by inserting a USB device that lacks a (1) bulk-in or (2) interrupt-in endpoint.

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 :

  - In the Linux kernel through 4.19, a use-after-free can     occur due to a race condition between fanout_add from     setsockopt and bind on an AF_PACKET socket. This issue     exists because of the     15fe076edea787807a7cdc168df832544b58eba6 incomplete fix     for a race condition. The code mishandles a certain     multithreaded case involving a packet_do_bind     unregister action followed by a packet_notifier     register action. Later, packet_release operates on only     one of the two applicable linked lists. The attacker     can achieve Program Counter control.(CVE-2018-18559i1/4%0

  - The acpi_ns_terminate() function in     drivers/acpi/acpica/nsutils.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.12 does not flush the operand cache and causes     a kernel stack dump. A local users could obtain     sensitive information from kernel memory and bypass the     KASLR protection mechanism (in the kernel through 4.9)     via a crafted ACPI table.(CVE-2017-11472i1/4%0

  - Race condition in net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux     kernel allows local users to cause a denial of service     (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other     impact via a multithreaded application that makes     PACKET_FANOUT setsockopt system calls.(CVE-2017-6346i1/4%0

  - Multiple race conditions in ipc/shm.c in the Linux     kernel before 3.12.2 allow local users to cause a     denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted     application that uses shmctl IPC_RMID operations in     conjunction with other shm system     calls.(CVE-2013-7026i1/4%0

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel. A NULL     pointer dereference and panic in hfsplus_lookup() in     the fs/hfsplus/dir.c function can occur when opening a     file (that is purportedly a hard link) in an hfs+     filesystem that has malformed catalog data, and is     mounted read-only without a metadata     directory.(CVE-2018-14617i1/4%0

  - The treo_attach function in drivers/usb/serial/visor.c     in the Linux kernel before 4.5 allows physically     proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL     pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact by inserting a USB device that     lacks a (1) bulk-in or (2) interrupt-in     endpoint.(CVE-2016-2782i1/4%0

  - An information-exposure flaw was found in the Linux     kernel where the pcpu_embed_first_chunk() function in     mm/percpu.c allows local users to obtain kernel-object     address information by reading the kernel log (dmesg).
    However, this address is not static and cannot be used     to commit a further attack.(CVE-2018-5995i1/4%0

  - Buffer overflow in net/ceph/auth_x.c in Ceph, as used     in the Linux kernel before 3.16.3, allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (memory     corruption and panic) or possibly have unspecified     other impact via a long unencrypted auth     ticket.(CVE-2014-6416i1/4%0

  - It was found that the Linux kernel's ptrace subsystem     allowed a traced process' instruction pointer to be set     to a non-canonical memory address without forcing the     non-sysret code path when returning to user space. A     local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash     the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges     on the system.Note: The CVE-2014-4699 issue only     affected systems using an Intel CPU.(CVE-2014-4699i1/4%0

  - The snd_compr_tstamp function in     sound/core/compress_offload.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.7, as used in Android before 2016-08-05 on     Nexus 5 and 7 (2013) devices, does not properly     initialize a timestamp data structure, which allows     attackers to obtain sensitive information via a crafted     application, aka Android internal bug 28770164 and     Qualcomm internal bug CR568717.(CVE-2014-9892i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's ext4     file system handled the 'page size i1/4z block size'     condition when the fallocate zero range functionality     was used. A local attacker could use this flaw to crash     the system.(CVE-2015-0275i1/4%0

  - An information leak flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's ISO9660 file system implementation accessed     data on an ISO9660 image with RockRidge Extension     Reference (ER) records. An attacker with physical     access to the system could use this flaw to disclose up     to 255 bytes of kernel memory.(CVE-2014-9584i1/4%0

  - The pivot_root implementation in fs/namespace.c in the     Linux kernel through 3.17 does not properly interact     with certain locations of a chroot directory, which     allows local users to cause a denial of service     (mount-tree loop) via . (dot) values in both arguments     to the pivot_root system call.(CVE-2014-7970i1/4%0

  - arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel before     4.8.12 does not properly initialize Code Segment (CS)     in certain error cases, which allows local users to     obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory     via a crafted application.(CVE-2016-9756i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel where the     swiotlb_print_info() function in lib/swiotlb.c allows     local users to obtain some kernel address information     by reading the kernel log (dmesg). This address is not     useful to commit a further attack.(CVE-2018-5953i1/4%0

  - 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-2015-2925i1/4%0

  - A use-after-free fault in the Linux kernel's usbtv     driver could allow an attacker to cause a denial of     service (system crash), or have unspecified other     impacts, by triggering failure of audio registration of     USB hardware using the usbtv kernel     module.(CVE-2017-17975i1/4%0

  - The mm subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.10.10     does not properly enforce the CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM     protection mechanism, which allows local users to read     or write to kernel memory locations in the first     megabyte (and bypass slab-allocation access     restrictions) via an application that opens the     /dev/mem file, related to arch/x86/mm/init.c and     drivers/char/mem.c.(CVE-2017-7889i1/4%0

  - A flaw was discovered in the way the kernel allows     stackable filesystems to overlay. A local attacker who     is able to mount filesystems can abuse this flaw to     escalate privileges.(CVE-2014-9922i1/4%0

  - sound/core/timer.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4.1     retains certain linked lists after a close or stop     action, which allows local users to cause a denial of     service (system crash) via a crafted ioctl call,     related to the (1) snd_timer_close and (2)
    _snd_timer_stop functions.(CVE-2016-2548i1/4%0

The remote Oracle Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2017-3567 advisory.

  - The __rds_conn_create function in net/rds/connection.c in the Linux kernel through 4.2.3 allows 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. (CVE-2015-6937)

  - The load_segment_descriptor implementation in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.5     improperly emulates a MOV SS, NULL selector instruction, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial     of service (guest OS crash) or gain guest OS privileges via a crafted application. (CVE-2017-2583)

  - The tcp_splice_read function in net/ipv4/tcp.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.11 allows remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and soft lockup) via vectors involving a TCP packet with the     URG flag. (CVE-2017-6214)

  - The xfrm_replay_verify_len function in net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c in the Linux kernel through 4.10.6 does not     validate certain size data after an XFRM_MSG_NEWAE update, which allows local users to obtain root     privileges or cause a denial of service (heap-based out-of-bounds access) by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN     capability, as demonstrated during a Pwn2Own competition at CanSecWest 2017 for the Ubuntu 16.10 linux-     image-* package 4.8.0.41.52. (CVE-2017-7184)

  - Race condition in the sctp_wait_for_sndbuf function in net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.11     allows local users to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and panic) via a multithreaded     application that peels off an association in a certain buffer-full state. (CVE-2017-5986)

  - 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 vhost_dev_ioctl function in drivers/vhost/vhost.c in the Linux kernel before 4.1.5 allows local users     to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a VHOST_SET_LOG_FD ioctl call that triggers     permanent file-descriptor allocation. (CVE-2015-6252)

  - The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.18 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial     of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via vectors involving a NULL value for a certain     match field, related to the keyring_search_iterator function in keyring.c. (CVE-2017-2647)

  - drivers/usb/serial/whiteheat.c in the Linux kernel before 4.2.4 allows physically proximate attackers to     cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) or possibly have unspecified other impact     via a crafted USB device. NOTE: this ID was incorrectly used for an Apache Cordova issue that has the     correct ID of CVE-2015-8320. (CVE-2015-5257)

  - The treo_attach function in drivers/usb/serial/visor.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5 allows physically     proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly     have unspecified other impact by inserting a USB device that lacks a (1) bulk-in or (2) interrupt-in     endpoint. (CVE-2016-2782)

  - The do_shmat function in ipc/shm.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.12 does not restrict the address     calculated by a certain rounding operation, which allows local users to map page zero, and consequently     bypass a protection mechanism that exists for the mmap system call, by making crafted shmget and shmat     system calls in a privileged context. (CVE-2017-5669)

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

The remote Oracle Linux 6 / 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2017-3566 advisory.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP1 kernel was updated to 3.12.57 to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2015-8812: A flaw was found in the CXGB3 kernel     driver when the network was considered congested. The     kernel would incorrectly misinterpret the congestion as     an error condition and incorrectly free/clean up the     skb. When the device would then send the skb's queued,     these structures would be referenced and may panic the     system or allow an attacker to escalate privileges in a     use-after-free scenario. (bsc#966437)

  - CVE-2015-8816: A malicious USB device could cause a     kernel crash in the USB hub driver. (bnc#968010).

  - CVE-2016-2143: On zSeries a fork of a large process     could have caused memory corruption due to incorrect     page table handling. (bnc#970504)

  - CVE-2016-2184: A malicious USB device could cause a     kernel crash in the alsa usb-audio driver. (bsc#971125).

  - CVE-2016-2384: A malicious USB device could cause a     kernel crash in the alsa usb-audio driver. (bsc#966693)

  - CVE-2016-2782: A malicious USB device could cause a     kernel crash in the usb visor driver. (bnc#968670).

  - CVE-2016-3139: A malicious USB device could cause a     kernel crash in the wacom driver. (bnc#970909).

  - CVE-2016-3156: Removal of ipv4 interfaces with a large     number of IP addresses was taking very long.
    (bsc#971360).

  - CVE-2015-8709: kernel/ptrace.c in the Linux kernel     mishandled uid and gid mappings, which allowed local     users to gain privileges by establishing a user     namespace, waiting for a root process to enter that     namespace with an unsafe uid or gid, and then using the     ptrace system call. NOTE: the vendor states 'there is no     kernel bug here (bnc#960561).

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue 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-2948-1 advisory.

  - The clie_5_attach function in drivers/usb/serial/visor.c in the Linux kernel through 4.4.1 allows     physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or     possibly have unspecified other impact by inserting a USB device that lacks a bulk-out endpoint.
    (CVE-2015-7566)

  - The usbvision driver in the Linux kernel package 3.10.0-123.20.1.el7 through 3.10.0-229.14.1.el7 in Red     Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.1 allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (panic)     via a nonzero bInterfaceNumber value in a USB device descriptor. (CVE-2015-7833)

  - drivers/infiniband/hw/cxgb3/iwch_cm.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5 does not properly identify error     conditions, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (use-     after-free) via crafted packets. (CVE-2015-8812)

  - 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)

  - The evm_verify_hmac function in security/integrity/evm/evm_main.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5 does not     properly copy data, which makes it easier for local users to forge MAC values via a timing side-channel     attack. (CVE-2016-2085)

  - The Linux kernel before 4.5 allows local users to bypass file-descriptor limits and cause a denial of     service (memory consumption) by leveraging incorrect tracking of descriptor ownership and sending each     descriptor over a UNIX socket before closing it. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incorrect     fix for CVE-2013-4312. (CVE-2016-2550)

  - The treo_attach function in drivers/usb/serial/visor.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5 allows physically     proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly     have unspecified other impact by inserting a USB device that lacks a (1) bulk-in or (2) interrupt-in     endpoint. (CVE-2016-2782)

  - 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 these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Ben Hawkes discovered that the Linux netfilter implementation did not correctly perform validation when handling IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE events.
A local unprivileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code with administrative privileges. (CVE-2016-3134)

Ben Hawkes discovered an integer overflow in the Linux netfilter implementation. On systems running 32 bit kernels, a local unprivileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code with administrative privileges. (CVE-2016-3135)

Ralf Spenneberg discovered that the USB driver for Clie devices in the Linux kernel did not properly sanity check the endpoints reported by the device. An attacker with physical access could cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2015-7566)

It was discovered that a race condition existed when handling heartbeat- timeout events in the SCTP implementation of the Linux kernel. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2015-8767)

It was discovered that a race condition existed in the ioctl handler for the TTY driver in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or expose sensitive information. (CVE-2016-0723)

Andrey Konovalov discovered that the ALSA USB MIDI driver incorrectly performed a double-free. A local attacker with physical access could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code with administrative privileges. (CVE-2016-2384)

Ralf Spenneberg discovered that the USB driver for Treo devices in the Linux kernel did not properly sanity check the endpoints reported by the device. An attacker with physical access could cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2016-2782).
