The x86_decode_insn function in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8.7, when KVM is enabled, allows local users to cause a denial of service (host OS crash) via a certain use of a ModR/M byte in an undefined instruction.

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 :

  - Array index error in the tcm_vhost_make_tpg function in     drivers/vhost/scsi.c in the Linux kernel before 4.0     might allow guest OS users to cause a denial of service     (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other     impact via a crafted VHOST_SCSI_SET_ENDPOINT ioctl     call. NOTE: the affected function was renamed to     vhost_scsi_make_tpg before the vulnerability was     announced.(CVE-2015-4036i1/4%0

  - The llc_cmsg_rcv function in net/llc/af_llc.c in the     Linux kernel before 4.5.5 does not initialize a certain     data structure, which allows attackers to obtain     sensitive information from kernel stack memory by     reading a message.(CVE-2016-4485i1/4%0

  - The nr_recvmsg function in net/netrom/af_netrom.c in     the Linux kernel before 3.12.4 updates a certain length     value without ensuring that an associated data     structure has been initialized, which allows local     users to obtain sensitive information from kernel     memory via a (1) recvfrom, (2) recvmmsg, or (3) recvmsg     system call.(CVE-2013-7269i1/4%0

  - The mct_u232_msr_to_state function in     drivers/usb/serial/mct_u232.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.5.1 allows physically proximate attackers to     cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and     system crash) via a crafted USB device without two     interrupt-in endpoint descriptors.(CVE-2016-3136i1/4%0

  - An out-of-bounds memory access flaw, CVE-2014-7825, was     found in the syscall tracing functionality of the Linux     kernel's perf subsystem. A local, unprivileged user     could use this flaw to crash the system. Additionally,     an out-of-bounds memory access flaw, CVE-2014-7826, was     found in the syscall tracing functionality of the Linux     kernel's ftrace subsystem. On a system with ftrace     syscall tracing enabled, a local, unprivileged user     could use this flaw to crash the system, or escalate     their privileges.(CVE-2014-7826i1/4%0

  - Linux kernel built with the Kernel-based Virtual     Machine (CONFIG_KVM) support is vulnerable to a null     pointer dereference flaw.

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem.
    A local user can cause an out-of-bound access in     ext4_get_group_info function, a denial of service, and     a system crash by mounting and operating on a crafted     ext4 filesystem image.(CVE-2018-10881i1/4%0

  - The arch_timer_reg_read_stable macro in     arch/arm64/include/asm/arch_timer.h in the Linux kernel     before 4.13 allows local users to cause a denial of     service (infinite recursion) by writing to a file under     /sys/kernel/debug in certain circumstances, as     demonstrated by a scenario involving debugfs, ftrace,     PREEMPT_TRACER, and     FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER.(CVE-2017-18261i1/4%0

  - The ip6_route_add function in net/ipv6/route.c in the     Linux kernel through 3.13.6 does not properly count the     addition of routes, which allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a     flood of ICMPv6 Router Advertisement     packets.(CVE-2014-2309i1/4%0

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.20.2, kernel/sched/fair.c     mishandles leaf cfs_rq's, which allows attackers to     cause a denial of service (infinite loop in     update_blocked_averages) or possibly have unspecified     other impact by inducing a high load.(CVE-2018-20784i1/4%0

  - An issue was discovered in the F2FS filesystem code in     fs/f2fs/inline.c in the Linux kernel. A denial of     service due to the out-of-bounds memory access can     occur for a modified f2fs filesystem     image.(CVE-2018-13099i1/4%0

  - An out-of-bounds write vulnerability was found in the     Linux kernel's vmw_surface_define_ioctl() function, in     the 'drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c' file.

  - The proc_connectinfo() function in     'drivers/usb/core/devio.c' in the Linux kernel through     4.6 does not initialize a certain data structure, which     allows local users to obtain sensitive information from     kernel stack memory via a crafted USBDEVFS_CONNECTINFO     ioctl call. The stack object 'ci' has a total size of 8     bytes. Its last 3 bytes are padding bytes which are not     initialized and are leaked to     userland.(CVE-2016-4482i1/4%0

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel. An     unprivileged local user could trigger oops in     shash_async_export() by attempting to force the     in-kernel hashing algorithms into decrypting an empty     data set.(CVE-2016-8646i1/4%0

  - An issue was discovered in the btrfs filesystem code in     the Linux kernel. An invalid NULL pointer dereference     in btrfs_root_node() when mounting a crafted btrfs     image is due to a lack of chunk block group mapping     validation in btrfs_read_block_groups() in the     fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c function and a lack of     empty-tree checks in check_leaf() in     fs/btrfs/tree-checker.c function. This could lead to a     system crash and a denial of service.(CVE-2018-14612i1/4%0

  - 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-2015-2922i1/4%0

  - A NULL-pointer dereference flaw was found in the     kernel, which is caused by a race between revoking a     user-type key and reading from it. The issue could be     triggered by an unprivileged user with a local account,     causing the kernel to crash (denial of     service).(CVE-2015-7550i1/4%0

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

  - 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)

  - Linux kernel built with the Kernel-based Virtual     Machine (CONFIG_KVM) support is vulnerable to a null     pointer dereference flaw. It could occur on x86     platform, when emulating an undefined instruction. An     attacker could use this flaw to crash the host kernel     resulting in DoS.(CVE-2016-8630)

  - Linux kernel built with the Kernel-based Virtual     Machine (CONFIG_KVM) support was vulnerable to an     incorrect segment selector(SS) value error. The error     could occur while loading values into the SS register     in long mode. A user or process inside a guest could     use this flaw to crash the guest, resulting in DoS or     potentially escalate their privileges inside the     guest.(CVE-2017-2583)

  - arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel through     4.9.3 allows local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory or cause a denial of     service (use-after-free) via a crafted application that     leverages instruction emulation for fxrstor, fxsave,     sgdt, and sidt.(CVE-2017-2584)

  - A reachable assertion failure flaw was found in the     Linux kernel built with KVM virtualisation(CONFIG_KVM)     support with Virtual Function I/O feature (CONFIG_VFIO)     enabled. This failure could occur if a malicious guest     device sent a virtual interrupt (guest IRQ) with a     larger (i1/4z1024) index value.(CVE-2017-1000252)

  - An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern     microprocessor designs have implemented speculative     execution of instructions (a commonly used performance     optimization). There are three primary variants of the     issue which differ in the way the speculative execution     can be exploited. Variant CVE-2017-5715 triggers the     speculative execution by utilizing branch target     injection. It relies on the presence of a     precisely-defined instruction sequence in the     privileged code as well as the fact that memory     accesses may cause allocation into the microprocessor's     data cache even for speculatively executed instructions     that never actually commit (retire). As a result, an     unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to cross the     syscall and guest/host boundaries and read privileged     memory by conducting targeted cache side-channel     attacks.(CVE-2017-5715)

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux KVM module     processed the trap flag(TF) bit in EFLAGS during     emulation of the syscall instruction, which leads to a     debug exception(#DB) being raised in the guest stack. A     user/process inside a guest could use this flaw to     potentially escalate their privileges inside the guest.
    Linux guests are not affected by this.(CVE-2017-7518)

  - Linux kernel compiled with the KVM virtualization     (CONFIG_KVM) support is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds     read access issue. It could occur when emulating vmcall     instructions invoked by a guest. A guest user/process     could use this flaw to disclose kernel memory     bytes.(CVE-2017-17741)

  - Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative     execution and speculative execution of memory reads     before the addresses of all prior memory writes are     known may allow unauthorized disclosure of information     to an attacker with local user access via a     side-channel analysis, aka Speculative Store Bypass     (SSB), Variant 4.(CVE-2018-3639)

  - kernel: kvm: guest userspace to guest kernel     write(CVE-2018-10853)

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.20.8,     kvm_ioctl_create_device in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c     mishandles reference counting because of a race     condition, leading to a use-after-free.(CVE-2019-6974)

  - The KVM implementation in the Linux kernel through     4.20.5 has an Information Leak.(CVE-2019-7222)

  - The KVM implementation in the Linux kernel through     4.20.5 has a Use-after-Free.(CVE-2019-7221)

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

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the     kernel's socket recvmmsg subsystem. This may allow     remote attackers to corrupt memory and may allow     execution of arbitrary code. This corruption takes     place during the error handling routines within
    __sys_recvmmsg() function.(CVE-2016-7117)

  - A heap-buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the     arcmsr_iop_message_xfer() function in     'drivers/scsi/arcmsr/arcmsr_hba.c' file in the Linux     kernel through 4.8.2. The function does not restrict a     certain length field, which allows local users to gain     privileges or cause a denial of service via an     ARCMSR_MESSAGE_WRITE_WQBUFFER control code. This can     potentially cause kernel heap corruption and arbitrary     kernel code execution.(CVE-2016-7425)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of seq_file where a local attacker could manipulate     memory in the put() function pointer. This could lead     to memory corruption and possible privileged     escalation.(CVE-2016-7910)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in sys_ioprio_get() was     found due to get_task_ioprio() accessing the     task-i1/4zio_context without holding the task lock and     could potentially race with exit_io_context(), leading     to a use-after-free.(CVE-2016-7911)

  - The xc2028_set_config function in     drivers/media/tuners/tuner-xc2028.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.6 allows local users to gain privileges or     cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via vectors     involving omission of the firmware name from a certain     data structure. Due to the nature of the flaw,     privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out,     although we believe it is unlikely.(CVE-2016-7913)

  - The assoc_array_insert_into_terminal_node() function in     'lib/assoc_array.c' in the Linux kernel before 4.5.3     does not check whether a slot is a leaf, which allows     local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel     memory or cause a denial of service (invalid pointer     dereference and out-of-bounds read) via an application     that uses associative-array data     structures.(CVE-2016-7914)

  - The hid_input_field() function in     'drivers/hid/hid-core.c' in the Linux kernel before 4.6     allows physically proximate attackers to obtain     sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a     denial of service (out-of-bounds read) by connecting a     device.(CVE-2016-7915)

  - Race condition in the environ_read() function in     'fs/proc/base.c' in the Linux kernel before 4.5.4     allows local users to obtain sensitive information from     kernel memory by reading a '/proc/*/environ' file     during a process-setup time interval in which     environment-variable copying is     incomplete.(CVE-2016-7916)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux networking subsystem     where a local attacker with CAP_NET_ADMIN capabilities     could cause an out-of-bounds memory access by creating     a smaller-than-expected ICMP header and sending to its     destination via sendto().(CVE-2016-8399)

  - Linux kernel built with the Kernel-based Virtual     Machine (CONFIG_KVM) support is vulnerable to a null     pointer dereference flaw. It could occur on x86     platform, when emulating an undefined instruction. An     attacker could use this flaw to crash the host kernel     resulting in DoS.(CVE-2016-8630)

  - A buffer overflow vulnerability due to a lack of input     filtering of incoming fragmented datagrams was found in     the IP-over-1394 driver firewire-net in a fragment     handling code in the Linux kernel. The vulnerability     exists since firewire supported IPv4, i.e. since     version 2.6.31 (year 2009) till version v4.9-rc4. A     maliciously formed fragment with a respectively large     datagram offset would cause a memcpy() past the     datagram buffer, which would cause a system panic or     possible arbitrary code execution.The flaw requires     firewire-net module to be loaded and is remotely     exploitable from connected firewire devices, but not     over a local network.(CVE-2016-8633)

  - It was discovered that the Linux kernel since 3.6-rc1     with 'net.ipv4.tcp_fastopen' set to 1 can hit BUG()     statement in tcp_collapse() function after making a     number of certain syscalls leading to a possible system     crash.(CVE-2016-8645)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel. An     unprivileged local user could trigger oops in     shash_async_export() by attempting to force the     in-kernel hashing algorithms into decrypting an empty     data set.(CVE-2016-8646)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel key management     subsystem in which a local attacker could crash the     kernel or corrupt the stack and additional memory     (denial of service) by supplying a specially crafted     RSA key. This flaw panics the machine during the     verification of the RSA key.(CVE-2016-8650)

  - A race condition issue leading to a use-after-free flaw     was found in the way the raw packet sockets     implementation in the Linux kernel networking subsystem     handled synchronization while creating the TPACKET_V3     ring buffer. A local user able to open a raw packet     socket (requires the CAP_NET_RAW capability) could use     this flaw to elevate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2016-8655)

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's     networking subsystem handled offloaded packets with     multiple layers of encapsulation in the GRO (Generic     Receive Offload) code path. A remote attacker could use     this flaw to trigger unbounded recursion in the kernel     that could lead to stack corruption, resulting in a     system crash.(CVE-2016-8666)

  - A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's     implementation of VFIO. An attacker issuing an ioctl     can create a situation where memory is corrupted and     modify memory outside of the expected area. This may     overwrite kernel memory and subvert kernel     execution.(CVE-2016-9083)

  - The use of a kzalloc with an integer multiplication     allowed an integer overflow condition to be reached in     vfio_pci_intrs.c. This combined with CVE-2016-9083 may     allow an attacker to craft an attack and use     unallocated memory, potentially crashing the     machine.(CVE-2016-9084)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of the SCTP protocol. A remote attacker could trigger     an out-of-bounds read with an offset of up to 64kB     potentially causing the system to crash.(CVE-2016-9555)

  - It was found that the blk_rq_map_user_iov() function in     the Linux kernel's block device implementation did not     properly restrict the type of iterator, which could     allow a local attacker to read or write to arbitrary     kernel memory locations or cause a denial of service     (use-after-free) by leveraging write access to a     /dev/sg device.(CVE-2016-9576)

  - 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-2016-9588)

  - It was discovered that root can gain direct access to     an internal keyring, such as '.dns_resolver' in RHEL-7     or '.builtin_trusted_keys' upstream, by joining it as     its session keyring. This allows root to bypass module     signature verification by adding a new public key of     its own devising to the keyring.(CVE-2016-9604)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of XFS file attributes. Two memory leaks were detected     in xfs_attr_shortform_list and xfs_attr3_leaf_list_int     when running a docker container backed by xfs/overlay2.
    A dedicated attacker could possible exhaust all memory     and create a denial of service     situation.(CVE-2016-9685)

An attacker issuing an ioctl can create a situation where memory is corrupted and modify memory outside of the expected area. This may overwrite kernel memory and subvert kernel execution. (CVE-2016-9083, Important)

* The use of a kzalloc with an integer multiplication allowed an integer overflow condition to be reached in vfio_pci_intrs.c. This combined with CVE-2016-9083 may allow an attacker to craft an attack and use unallocated memory, potentially crashing the machine.
(CVE-2016-9084, Moderate)

Red Hat would like to thank Philip Pettersson for reporting CVE-2016-8655.

Bug Fix(es) :

* Previously, the asynchronous page fault woke code references spinlocks, which were actually sleeping locks in the RT kernel.
Because of this, when the code was executed from the exception context, a bug warning appeared on the console. With this update, the regular wait queue and spinlock code in this area has been modified to use simple-wait-queue and raw-spinlocks. This code change enables the asynchronous page fault code to run in a non-preemptable state without bug warnings. (BZ#1418035)

  - CVE-2015-8956: The rfcomm_sock_bind function in     net/bluetooth/rfcomm/sock.c in the Linux kernel allowed     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 (bnc#1003925).

The following non-security bugs were fixed :

  - ata: ahci_xgene: dereferencing uninitialized pointer in     probe (bsc#1006580).

  - blacklist.conf: add some commits (bsc#1006580)

  - bna: Add synchronization for tx ring (bsc#993739).

  - bonding: set carrier off for devices created through     netlink (bsc#999577).

  - btrfs: deal with duplicates during extent_map insertion     in btrfs_get_extent (bsc#1001171).

  - btrfs: deal with existing encompassing extent map in     btrfs_get_extent() (bsc#1001171).

  - btrfs: fix extent tree corruption due to relocation     (bsc#990384).

  - btrfs: fix races on root_log_ctx lists (bsc#1007653).

  - ext4: fix data exposure after a crash (bsc#1012876).

  - ext4: fix reference counting bug on block allocation     error (bsc#1012876).

  - gre: Disable segmentation offloads w/ CSUM and we are     encapsulated via FOU (bsc#1001486).

  - gro: Allow tunnel stacking in the case of FOU/GUE     (bsc#1001486).

  - ipv6: send NEWLINK on RA managed/otherconf changes     (bsc#934067).

  - ipv6: send only one NEWLINK when RA causes changes     (bsc#934067).

  - isofs: Do not return EACCES for unknown filesystems     (bsc#1012876).

  - jbd2: fix checkpoint list cleanup (bsc#1012876).

  - jbd2: Fix unreclaimed pages after truncate in     data=journal mode (bsc#1010909).

  - locking/static_key: Fix concurrent static_key_slow_inc()     (bsc#1006580).

  - mmc: Fix kabi breakage of mmc-block in 4.1.36     (stable-4.1.36).

  - posix_acl: Added fix for f2fs.

  - Revert 'kbuild: add -fno-PIE' (stable-4.1.36).

  - Revert 'x86/mm: Expand the exception table logic to     allow new handling options' (stable-4.1.36).

  - tunnels: Remove encapsulation offloads on decap     (bsc#1001486).

  - usbhid: add ATEN CS962 to list of quirky devices     (bsc#1007615).

  - vmxnet3: Wake queue from reset work (bsc#999907).
