  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel where the deletion     of a file or directory could trigger an unmount and     reveal data under a mount point. This flaw was     inadvertently introduced with the new feature of being     able to lazily unmount a mount tree when using file     system user namespaces.(CVE-2015-4176i1/4%0

  - 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. This allows     privileged local users to map page zero and,     consequently, bypass a protection mechanism that exists     for the mmap system call. This is possible by making     crafted shmget and shmat system calls in a privileged     context.(CVE-2017-5669i1/4%0

  - In drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/hns/hns_enet.c in the     Linux kernel, before 4.13, local users can cause a     denial of service (use-after-free and BUG) or possibly     have unspecified other impact by leveraging differences     in skb handling between hns_nic_net_xmit_hw and     hns_nic_net_xmit.(CVE-2017-18218i1/4%0

NOTE: the affected code was moved to the     ioapic_service function before the vulnerability was     announced.(CVE-2014-0155i1/4%0

  - 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-2013-7421i1/4%0

  - Off-by-one error in the get_prng_bytes function in     crypto/ansi_cprng.c in the Linux kernel through 3.11.4     makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to     defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via multiple     requests for small amounts of data, leading to improper     management of the state of the consumed     data.(CVE-2013-4345i1/4%0

  - A division-by-zero in set_termios(), when debugging is     enabled, was found in the Linux kernel. When the     [io_ti] driver is loaded, a local unprivileged attacker     can request incorrect high transfer speed in the     change_port_settings() in the     drivers/usb/serial/io_ti.c so that the divisor value     becomes zero and causes a system crash resulting in a     denial of service.(CVE-2017-18360i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found where the XFS filesystem code     mishandles a user-settable inode flag in the Linux     kernel prior to 4.14-rc1. This can cause a local denial     of service via a kernel panic.(CVE-2017-14340i1/4%0

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through     4.19.

An update of the linux package has been released.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP3 LTSS kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes. This update adds mitigations for various side channel attacks against modern CPUs that could disclose content of otherwise unreadable memory (bnc#1068032).

  - CVE-2017-5753: Local attackers on systems with modern     CPUs featuring deep instruction pipelining could use     attacker controllable speculative execution over code     patterns in the Linux Kernel to leak content from     otherwise not readable memory in the same address space,     allowing retrieval of passwords, cryptographic keys and     other secrets. This problem is mitigated by adding     speculative fencing on affected code paths throughout     the Linux kernel.

  - CVE-2017-5715: Local attackers on systems with modern     CPUs featuring branch prediction could use mispredicted     branches to speculatively execute code patterns that in     turn could be made to leak other non-readable content in     the same address space, an attack similar to     CVE-2017-5753. This problem is mitigated by disabling     predictive branches, depending on CPU architecture     either by firmware updates and/or fixes in the     user-kernel privilege boundaries. Please contact your     CPU / hardware vendor for potential microcode or BIOS     updates needed for this fix. As this feature can have a     performance impact, it can be disabled using the     'nospec' kernel commandline option.

  - CVE-2017-5754: Local attackers on systems with modern     CPUs featuring deep instruction pipelining could use     code patterns in userspace to speculative executive code     that would read otherwise read protected memory, an     attack similar to CVE-2017-5753. This problem is     mitigated by unmapping the Linux Kernel from the user     address space during user code execution, following a     approach called 'KAISER'. The terms used here are     'KAISER' / 'Kernel Address Isolation' and 'PTI' / 'Page     Table Isolation'. This feature is disabled on unaffected     architectures. This feature can be enabled / disabled by     the 'pti=[on|off|auto]' or 'nopti' commandline options.

stack buffer overflow in the native Bluetooth stack

A stack buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the Bluetooth subsystem of the Linux kernel processed pending L2CAP configuration responses from a client. On systems with the stack protection feature enabled in the kernel (CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y, which is enabled on all architectures other than s390x and ppc64[le]), an unauthenticated attacker able to initiate a connection to a system via Bluetooth could use this flaw to crash the system. Due to the nature of the stack protection feature, code execution cannot be fully ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely. On systems without the stack protection feature (ppc64[le]; the Bluetooth modules are not built on s390x), an unauthenticated attacker able to initiate a connection to a system via Bluetooth could use this flaw to remotely execute arbitrary code on the system with ring 0 (kernel) privileges. (CVE-2017-1000251)

dereferencing NULL payload with nonzero length

A flaw was found in the implementation of associative arrays where the add_key systemcall and KEYCTL_UPDATE operations allowed for a NULL payload with a nonzero length. When accessing the payload within this length parameters value, an unprivileged user could trivially cause a NULL pointer dereference (kernel oops). (CVE-2017-15274)

xfs: unprivileged user kernel oops

A flaw was found where the XFS filesystem code mishandles a user-settable inode flag in the Linux kernel prior to 4.14-rc1. This can cause a local denial of service via a kernel panic.(CVE-2017-14340)

Information leak in the scsi driver

The sg_ioctl() function in 'drivers/scsi/sg.c' in the Linux kernel, from version 4.12-rc1 to 4.14-rc2, allows local users to obtain sensitive information from uninitialized kernel heap-memory locations via an SG_GET_REQUEST_TABLE ioctl call for '/dev/sg0'.
(CVE-2017-14991)

kvm: nVMX: L2 guest could access hardware(L0) CR8 register

Linux kernel built with the KVM visualization support (CONFIG_KVM), with nested visualization (nVMX) feature enabled (nested=1), is vulnerable to a crash due to disabled external interrupts. As L2 guest could access (r/w) hardware CR8 register of the host(L0). In a nested visualization setup, L2 guest user could use this flaw to potentially crash the host(L0) resulting in DoS. (CVE-2017-12154)

The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements.

Security Fix(es) :

* Out-of-bounds kernel heap access vulnerability was found in xfrm, kernel's IP framework for transforming packets. An error dealing with netlink messages from an unprivileged user leads to arbitrary read/write and privilege escalation. (CVE-2017-7184, Important)

* A race condition issue leading to a use-after-free flaw was found in the way the raw packet sockets are implemented in the Linux kernel networking subsystem handling synchronization. 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-2017-1000111, Important)

* An exploitable memory corruption flaw was found in the Linux kernel.
The append path can be erroneously switched from UFO to non-UFO in ip_ufo_append_data() when building an UFO packet with MSG_MORE option.
If unprivileged user namespaces are available, this flaw can be exploited to gain root privileges. (CVE-2017-1000112, Important)

* Kernel memory corruption due to a buffer overflow was found in brcmf_cfg80211_mgmt_tx() function in Linux kernels from v3.9-rc1 to v4.13-rc1. The vulnerability can be triggered by sending a crafted NL80211_CMD_FRAME packet via netlink. This flaw is unlikely to be triggered remotely as certain userspace code is needed for this. 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 it is unlikely. (CVE-2017-7541, Moderate)

* An integer overflow vulnerability in ip6_find_1stfragopt() function was found. A local attacker that has privileges (of CAP_NET_RAW) to open raw socket can cause an infinite loop inside the ip6_find_1stfragopt() function. (CVE-2017-7542, Moderate)

* A kernel data leak due to an out-of-bound read was found in the Linux kernel in inet_diag_msg_sctp{,l}addr_fill() and sctp_get_sctp_info() functions present since version 4.7-rc1 through version 4.13. A data leak happens when these functions fill in sockaddr data structures used to export socket's diagnostic information. As a result, up to 100 bytes of the slab data could be leaked to a userspace. (CVE-2017-7558, Moderate)

* The mq_notify function in the Linux kernel through 4.11.9 does not set the sock pointer to NULL upon entry into the retry logic. During a user-space close of a Netlink socket, it allows attackers to possibly cause a situation where a value may be used after being freed (use-after-free) which may lead to memory corruption or other unspecified other impact. (CVE-2017-11176, Moderate)

* A divide-by-zero vulnerability was found in the __tcp_select_window function in the Linux kernel. This can result in a kernel panic causing a local denial of service. (CVE-2017-14106, Moderate)

* A flaw was found where the XFS filesystem code mishandles a user-settable inode flag in the Linux kernel prior to 4.14-rc1. This can cause a local denial of service via a kernel panic.
(CVE-2017-14340, Moderate)

(BZ#1489085)

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

  - CVE-2017-7518     Andy Lutomirski discovered that KVM is prone to an     incorrect debug exception (#DB) error occurring while     emulating a syscall instruction. A process inside a     guest can take advantage of this flaw for privilege     escalation inside a guest.

  - CVE-2017-7558 (stretch only)     Stefano Brivio of Red Hat discovered that the SCTP     subsystem is prone to a data leak vulnerability due to     an out-of-bounds read flaw, allowing to leak up to 100     uninitialized bytes to userspace.

  - CVE-2017-10661 (jessie only)     Dmitry Vyukov of Google reported that the timerfd     facility does not properly handle certain concurrent     operations on a single file descriptor. This allows a     local attacker to cause a denial of service or     potentially execute arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2017-11600     Bo Zhang reported that the xfrm subsystem does not     properly validate one of the parameters to a netlink     message. Local users with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability     can use this to cause a denial of service or potentially     to execute arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2017-12134 / #866511 / XSA-229     Jan H. Schoenherr of Amazon discovered that when Linux     is running in a Xen PV domain on an x86 system, it may     incorrectly merge block I/O requests. A buggy or     malicious guest may trigger this bug in dom0 or a PV     driver domain, causing a denial of service or     potentially execution of arbitrary code.

  This issue can be mitigated by disabling merges on the underlying   back-end block devices, e.g.:echo 2 >   /sys/block/nvme0n1/queue/nomerges

  - CVE-2017-12146 (stretch only)     Adrian Salido of Google reported a race condition in     access to the'driver_override' attribute for platform     devices in sysfs. If unprivileged users are permitted to     access this attribute, this might allow them to gain     privileges.

  - CVE-2017-12153     Bo Zhang reported that the cfg80211 (wifi) subsystem     does not properly validate the parameters to a netlink     message. Local users with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability     (in any user namespace with a wifi device) can use this     to cause a denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-12154     Jim Mattson of Google reported that the KVM     implementation for Intel x86 processors did not     correctly handle certain nested hypervisor     configurations. A malicious guest (or nested guest in a     suitable L1 hypervisor) could use this for denial of     service.

  - CVE-2017-14106     Andrey Konovalov discovered that a user-triggerable     division by zero in the tcp_disconnect() function could     result in local denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-14140     Otto Ebeling reported that the move_pages() system call     performed insufficient validation of the UIDs of the     calling and target processes, resulting in a partial     ASLR bypass. This made it easier for local users to     exploit vulnerabilities in programs installed with the     set-UID permission bit set.

  - CVE-2017-14156     'sohu0106' reported an information leak in the atyfb     video driver. A local user with access to a framebuffer     device handled by this driver could use this to obtain     sensitive information.

  - CVE-2017-14340     Richard Wareing discovered that the XFS implementation     allows the creation of files with the 'realtime' flag on     a filesystem with no realtime device, which can result     in a crash (oops). A local user with access to an XFS     filesystem that does not have a realtime device can use     this for denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-14489     ChunYu Wang of Red Hat discovered that the iSCSI     subsystem does not properly validate the length of a     netlink message, leading to memory corruption. A local     user with permission to manage iSCSI devices can use     this for denial of service or possibly to execute     arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2017-14497 (stretch only)     Benjamin Poirier of SUSE reported that vnet headers are     not properly handled within the tpacket_rcv() function     in the raw packet (af_packet) feature. A local user with     the CAP_NET_RAW capability can take advantage of this     flaw to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow, and     disk and memory corruption) or have other impact.

  - CVE-2017-1000111     Andrey Konovalov of Google reported a race condition in     the raw packet (af_packet) feature. Local users with the     CAP_NET_RAW capability can use this for denial of     service or possibly to execute arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2017-1000112     Andrey Konovalov of Google reported a race condition     flaw in the UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) code. A     local user can use this flaw for denial of service or     possibly to execute arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2017-1000251 / #875881     Armis Labs discovered that the Bluetooth subsystem does     not properly validate L2CAP configuration responses,     leading to a stack-based buffer overflow. This is one of     several vulnerabilities dubbed 'Blueborne'. A nearby     attacker can use this to cause a denial of service or     possibly to execute arbitrary code on a system with     Bluetooth enabled.

  - CVE-2017-1000252 (stretch only)     Jan H. Schoenherr of Amazon reported that the KVM     implementation for Intel x86 processors did not     correctly validate interrupt injection requests. A local     user with permission to use KVM could use this for     denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-1000370     The Qualys Research Labs reported that a large argument     or environment list can result in ASLR bypass for 32-bit     PIE binaries.

  - CVE-2017-1000371     The Qualys Research Labs reported that a large argument     or environment list can result in a stack/heap clash for     32-bit PIE binaries.

  - CVE-2017-1000380     Alexander Potapenko of Google reported a race condition     in the ALSA (sound) timer driver, leading to an     information leak. A local user with permission to access     sound devices could use this to obtain sensitive     information.

Debian disables unprivileged user namespaces by default, but if they are enabled (via the kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone sysctl) then CVE-2017-11600, CVE-2017-14497 and CVE-2017-1000111 can be exploited by any local user.
