The imon_probe function in drivers/media/rc/imon.c in the Linux kernel through 4.13.11 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - The imon_probe function in drivers/media/rc/imon.c in the Linux kernel through 4.13.11 allows local users     to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified     other impact via a crafted USB device. (CVE-2017-16537)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote OracleVM system is missing necessary patches to address security updates:

  - The imon_probe function in drivers/media/rc/imon.c in the Linux kernel through 4.13.11 allows local users     to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified     other impact via a crafted USB device. (CVE-2017-16537)

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.13.5, a local user could create keyrings for other users via keyctl commands,     setting unwanted defaults or causing a denial of service. (CVE-2017-18270)

  - The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.10.13 allows local users to cause a denial of service     (memory consumption) via a series of KEY_REQKEY_DEFL_THREAD_KEYRING keyctl_set_reqkey_keyring calls.
    (CVE-2017-7472)

  - In get_futex_key of futex.c, there is a use-after-free due to improper locking. This could lead to local     escalation of privilege with no additional privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for     exploitation. Product: Android Versions: Android kernel Android ID: A-74250718 References: Upstream     kernel. (CVE-2018-9422)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.6.11. sg_write lacks an sg_remove_request call in a     certain failure case, aka CID-83c6f2390040. (CVE-2020-12770)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in versions before 5.9-rc6. When changing screen size, an out-of-     bounds memory write can occur leading to memory corruption or a denial of service. Due to the nature of     the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out. (CVE-2020-14390)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.3 when a webcam device exists. video_usercopy in     drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c has a memory leak for large arguments, aka CID-fb18802a338b.
    (CVE-2021-30002)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.15.2, mwifiex_usb_recv in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/usb.c allows     an attacker (who can connect a crafted USB device) to cause a denial of service (skb_over_panic).
    (CVE-2021-43976)

  - In the IPv4 implementation in the Linux kernel before 5.12.4, net/ipv4/route.c has an information leak     because the hash table is very small. (CVE-2021-45486)

  - A vulnerability was found in linux kernel, where an information leak occurs via ext4_extent_header to     userspace. (CVE-2022-0850)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in fs/ext4/namei.c:dx_insert_block() in the Linux kernel's filesystem sub-     component. This flaw allows a local attacker with a user privilege to cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2022-1184)

  - Dm-verity is used for extending root-of-trust to root filesystems. LoadPin builds on this property to     restrict module/firmware loads to just the trusted root filesystem. Device-mapper table reloads currently     allow users with root privileges to switch out the target with an equivalent dm-linear target and bypass     verification till reboot. This allows root to bypass LoadPin and can be used to load untrusted and     unverified kernel modules and firmware, which implies arbitrary kernel execution and persistence for     peripherals that do not verify firmware updates. We recommend upgrading past commit     4caae58406f8ceb741603eee460d79bacca9b1b5 (CVE-2022-2503)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's driver for the ASIX AX88179_178A-based USB 2.0/3.0 Gigabit Ethernet     Devices. The vulnerability contains multiple out-of-bounds reads and possible out-of-bounds writes.
    (CVE-2022-2964)

  - A race condition was found in the Linux kernel's IP framework for transforming packets (XFRM subsystem)     when multiple calls to xfrm_probe_algs occurred simultaneously. This flaw could allow a local attacker to     potentially trigger an out-of-bounds write or leak kernel heap memory by performing an out-of-bounds read     and copying it into a socket. (CVE-2022-3028)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.18.14. xfrm_expand_policies in     net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c can cause a refcount to be dropped twice. (CVE-2022-36879)

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

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

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

  - The usbhid_parse function in     drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c in the Linux kernel,     before 4.13.8, allows local users to cause a denial of     service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted     USB device.(CVE-2017-16533)

  - The cdc_parse_cdc_header() function in     'drivers/usb/core/message.c' in the Linux kernel,     before 4.13.6, allows local users to cause a denial of     service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted     USB device. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege     escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we     believe it is unlikely.(CVE-2017-16534)

  - The usb_get_bos_descriptor function in     drivers/usb/core/config.c in the Linux kernel can allow     a local users to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds read and system crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted USB     device.(CVE-2017-16535)

  - The cx231xx_usb_probe function in     drivers/media/usb/cx231xx/cx231xx-cards.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.13.11 allows local users to cause a     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system     crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a     crafted USB device.(CVE-2017-16536)

  - The imon_probe function in drivers/media/rc/imon.c in     the Linux kernel through 4.13.11 allows local users to     cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and     system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact     via a crafted USB device.(CVE-2017-16537)

  - The drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb-v2/lmedm04.c in the Linux     kernel, through 4.13.11, allows local users to cause a     denial of service (general protection fault and system     crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a     crafted USB device, related to a missing warm-start     check and incorrect attach timing     (dm04_lme2510_frontend_attach versus     dm04_lme2510_tuner).(CVE-2017-16538)

  - The parse_hid_report_descriptor function in     drivers/input/tablet/gtco.c in the Linux kernel before     4.13.11 allows local users to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds read and system crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted USB     device.(CVE-2017-16643)

  - The hdpvr_probe function in     drivers/media/usb/hdpvr/hdpvr-core.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.13.11 allows local users to cause a     denial of service (improper error handling and system     crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a     crafted USB device.(CVE-2017-16644)

  - The ims_pcu_get_cdc_union_desc function in     drivers/input/misc/ims-pcu.c in the Linux kernel,     through 4.13.11, allows local users to cause a denial     of service (ims_pcu_parse_cdc_data out-of-bounds read     and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other     impact via a crafted USB device.(CVE-2017-16645)

  - The usbnet_generic_cdc_bind function in     drivers/net/usb/cdc_ether.c in the Linux kernel through     4.13.11 allows local users to cause a denial of service     (divide-by-zero error and system crash) or possibly     have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB     device.(CVE-2017-16649)

  - The qmi_wwan_bind function in     drivers/net/usb/qmi_wwan.c in the Linux kernel through     4.13.11 allows local users to cause a denial of service     (divide-by-zero error and system crash) or possibly     have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB     device.(CVE-2017-16650)

  - The Linux kernel is vulerable to a use-after-free flaw     when Transformation User configuration     interface(CONFIG_XFRM_USER) compile-time configuration     were enabled. This vulnerability occurs while closing a     xfrm netlink socket in xfrm_dump_policy_done. A     user/process could abuse this flaw to potentially     escalate their privileges on a system.(CVE-2017-16939)

  - The net/netfilter/nfnetlink_cthelper.c function in the     Linux kernel through 4.14.4 does not require the     CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for new, get, and del     operations. This allows local users to bypass intended     access restrictions because the nfnl_cthelper_list data     structure is shared across all net     namespaces.(CVE-2017-17448)

  - The __netlink_deliver_tap_skb function in     net/netlink/af_netlink.c in the Linux kernel, through     4.14.4, does not restrict observations of Netlink     messages to a single net namespace, when CONFIG_NLMON     is enabled. This allows local users to obtain sensitive     information by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability     to sniff an nlmon interface for all Netlink activity on     the system.(CVE-2017-17449)

  - 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. This     allows local users to bypass intended access     restrictions because the xt_osf_fingers data structure     is shared across all network     namespaces.(CVE-2017-17450)

  - The usb_destroy_configuration() function, in     'drivers/usb/core/config.c' in the USB core subsystem,     in the Linux kernel through 4.14.5 does not consider     the maximum number of configurations and interfaces     before attempting to release resources. This allows     local users to cause a denial of service, due to     out-of-bounds write access, or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device. Due     to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot     be fully ruled out, although we believe it is     unlikely.(CVE-2017-17558)

  - The Salsa20 encryption algorithm in the Linux kernel,     before 4.14.8, does not correctly handle zero-length     inputs. This allows a local attacker the ability to use     the AF_ALG-based skcipher interface to cause a denial     of service (uninitialized-memory free and kernel crash)     or have an 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 are     vulnerable.(CVE-2017-17805)

  - 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.
    This allows 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)

  - The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel omitted an     access-control check when writing a key to the current     task's default keyring, allowing a local user to bypass     security checks to the keyring. This compromises the     validity of the keyring for those who rely on     it.(CVE-2017-17807)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of i8042 serial ports. An attacker could cause a kernel     panic if they are able to add and remove devices as the     module is loaded.(CVE-2017-18079)

  - The Linux kernel, before version 4.14.3, is vulnerable     to a denial of service in     drivers/md/dm.c:dm_get_from_kobject() which can be     caused by local users leveraging a race condition with
    __dm_destroy() during creation and removal of DM     devices. Only privileged local users (with     CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability) can directly perform the     ioctl operations for dm device creation and removal and     this would typically be outside the direct control of     the unprivileged attacker.(CVE-2017-18203)

  - The madvise_willneed function in the Linux kernel     allows local users to cause a denial of service     (infinite loop) by triggering use of MADVISE_WILLNEED     for a DAX mapping.(CVE-2017-18208)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

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 ea_get function in fs/jfs/xattr.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.17.1, a memory corruption bug in JFS     can be triggered by calling setxattr twice with two     different extended attribute names on the same file.
    This vulnerability can be triggered by an unprivileged     user with the ability to create files and execute     programs. A kmalloc call is incorrect, leading to     slab-out-of-bounds in jfs_xattr.(CVE-2018-12233i1/4%0

  - The spectre_v2_select_mitigation function in     arch/x86/kernel/cpu/bugs.c in the Linux kernel before     4.18.1 does not always fill RSB upon a context switch,     which makes it easier for attackers to conduct     userspace-userspace spectreRSB     attacks.(CVE-2018-15572i1/4%0

  - Race condition in the queue_delete function in     sound/core/seq/seq_queue.c in the Linux kernel before     4.4.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service     (use-after-free and system crash) by making an ioctl     call at a certain time.(CVE-2016-2544i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of BPF in which systems can application can overflow a     32 bit refcount in both program and map refcount. This     refcount can wrap and end up a user after     free.(CVE-2016-4558i1/4%0

  - Interpretation conflict in     drivers/md/dm-snap-persistent.c in the Linux kernel     through 3.11.6 allows remote authenticated users to     obtain sensitive information or modify data via a     crafted mapping to a snapshot block     device.(CVE-2013-4299i1/4%0

  - The imon_probe function in drivers/media/rc/imon.c in     the Linux kernel through 4.13.11 allows local users to     cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and     system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact     via a crafted USB device.(CVE-2017-16537i1/4%0

  - A vulnerability in the handling of Transactional Memory     on powerpc systems was found. An unprivileged local     user can crash the kernel by starting a transaction,     suspending it, and then calling any of the exec() class     system calls.(CVE-2016-5828i1/4%0

  - A cross-boundary flaw was discovered in the Linux     kernel software raid driver. The driver accessed a     disabled bitmap where only the first byte of the buffer     was initialized to zero. This meant that the rest of     the request (up to 4095 bytes) was left and copied into     user space. An attacker could use this flaw to read     private information from user space that would not     otherwise have been accessible.(CVE-2015-5697i1/4%0

  - The parse_hid_report_descriptor function in     drivers/input/tablet/gtco.c in the Linux kernel before     4.13.11 allows local users to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds read and system crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted USB     device.(CVE-2017-16643i1/4%0

  - Race condition in the sclp_ctl_ioctl_sccb function in     drivers/s390/char/sclp_ctl.c in the Linux kernel before     4.6 allows local users to obtain sensitive information     from kernel memory by changing a certain length value,     aka a 'double fetch' vulnerability.(CVE-2016-6130i1/4%0

  - drivers/net/usb/asix_devices.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.13.11 allows local users to cause a denial of     service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted     USB device.(CVE-2017-16647i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel which could cause     a kernel panic when restoring machine specific     registers on the PowerPC platform. Incorrect     transactional memory state registers could     inadvertently change the call path on return from     userspace and cause the kernel to enter an unknown     state and crash.(CVE-2015-8845i1/4%0

  - fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16.1 does     not properly restrict clearing MNT_NODEV, MNT_NOSUID,     and MNT_NOEXEC and changing MNT_ATIME_MASK during a     remount of a bind mount, which allows local users to     gain privileges, interfere with backups and auditing on     systems that had atime enabled, or cause a denial of     service (excessive filesystem updating) on systems that     had atime disabled via a 'mount -o remount' command     within a user namespace.(CVE-2014-5207i1/4%0

  - The NFS2/3 RPC client could send long arguments to the     NFS server. These encoded arguments are stored in an     array of memory pages, and accessed using pointer     variables. Arbitrarily long arguments could make these     pointers point outside the array and cause an     out-of-bounds memory access. A remote user or program     could use this flaw to crash the kernel, resulting in     denial of service.(CVE-2017-7645i1/4%0

  - The time subsystem in the Linux kernel, when     CONFIG_TIMER_STATS is enabled, allows local users to     discover real PID values (as distinguished from PID     values inside a PID namespace) by reading the     /proc/timer_list file, related to the print_timer     function in kernel/time/timer_list.c and the
    __timer_stats_timer_set_start_info function in     kernel/time/timer.c.(CVE-2017-5967i1/4%0

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel where the     keyctl_set_reqkey_keyring() function leaks the thread     keyring. This allows an unprivileged local user to     exhaust kernel memory and thus cause a     DoS.(CVE-2017-7472i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found that can be triggered in     keyring_search_iterator in keyring.c if type-i1/4zmatch     is NULL. A local user could use this flaw to crash the     system or, potentially, escalate their     privileges.(CVE-2017-2647i1/4%0

  - The make_response function in     drivers/block/xen-blkback/blkback.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.11.8 allows guest OS users to obtain sensitive     information from host OS (or other guest OS) kernel     memory by leveraging the copying of uninitialized     padding fields in Xen block-interface response     structures, aka XSA-216.(CVE-2017-10911i1/4%0

  - Stack-based buffer overflow in the SET_WPS_IE IOCTL     implementation in wlan_hdd_hostapd.c in the WLAN (aka     Wi-Fi) driver for the Linux kernel 3.x and 4.x, as used     in Qualcomm Innovation Center (QuIC) Android     contributions for MSM devices and other products,     allows attackers to gain privileges via a crafted     application that uses a long WPS IE     element.(CVE-2015-0570i1/4%0

  - The net_ctl_permissions function in net/sysctl_net.c in     the Linux kernel before 3.11.5 does not properly     determine uid and gid values, which allows local users     to bypass intended /proc/sys/net restrictions via a     crafted application.(CVE-2013-4270i1/4%0

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3754-1 advisory.

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.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 kernel was updated to 3.12.61 to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-16939: The XFRM dump policy implementation in     net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c in the Linux kernel allowed local     users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service     (use-after-free) via a crafted SO_RCVBUF setsockopt     system call in conjunction with XFRM_MSG_GETPOLICY     Netlink messages (bnc#1069702 1069708).

  - CVE-2017-1000405: The Linux Kernel had a problematic use     of pmd_mkdirty() in the touch_pmd() function inside the     THP implementation. touch_pmd() could be reached by     get_user_pages(). In such case, the pmd would become     dirty. This scenario breaks the new     can_follow_write_pmd()'s logic - pmd could become dirty     without going through a COW cycle. This bug was not as     severe as the original 'Dirty cow' because an ext4 file     (or any other regular file) could not be mapped using     THP. Nevertheless, it did allow us to overwrite     read-only huge pages. For example, the zero huge page     and sealed shmem files could be overwritten (since their     mapping could be populated using THP). Note that after     the first write page-fault to the zero page, it will be     replaced with a new fresh (and zeroed) thp (bnc#1069496     1070307).

  - CVE-2017-16649: The usbnet_generic_cdc_bind function in     drivers/net/usb/cdc_ether.c in the Linux kernel allowed     local users to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero     error and system crash) or possibly have unspecified     other impact via a crafted USB device (bnc#1067085).

  - CVE-2017-16531: drivers/usb/core/config.c in the Linux     kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds read and system crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device,     related to the USB_DT_INTERFACE_ASSOCIATION descriptor     (bnc#1066671).

  - CVE-2017-12193: The     assoc_array_insert_into_terminal_node function in     lib/assoc_array.c in the Linux kernel mishandled node     splitting, which allowed local users to cause a denial     of service (NULL pointer dereference and panic) via a     crafted application, as demonstrated by the keyring key     type, and key addition and link creation operations     (bnc#1066192).

  - CVE-2017-16529: The snd_usb_create_streams function in     sound/usb/card.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users     to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and     system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact     via a crafted USB device (bnc#1066650).

  - CVE-2017-16525: The usb_serial_console_disconnect     function in drivers/usb/serial/console.c in the Linux     kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service     (use-after-free and system crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device,     related to disconnection and failed setup (bnc#1066618).

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

CVE-2016-10208

Sergej Schumilo and Ralf Spenneberg discovered that a crafted ext4 filesystem could trigger memory corruption when it is mounted. A user that can provide a device or filesystem image to be mounted could use this for denial of service (crash or data corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2017-8824

Mohamed Ghannam discovered that the DCCP implementation did not correctly manage resources when a socket is disconnected and reconnected, potentially leading to a use-after-free. A local user could use this for denial of service (crash or data corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation. On systems that do not already have the dccp module loaded, this can be mitigated by disabling it: echo >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-dccp.conf install dccp false

CVE-2017-8831

Pengfei Wang discovered that the saa7164 video capture driver re-reads data from a PCI device after validating it. A physically present user able to attach a specially designed PCI device could use this for privilege escalation.

CVE-2017-12190

Vitaly Mayatskikh discovered that the block layer did not correctly count page references for raw I/O from user-space. This can be exploited by a guest VM with access to a host SCSI device for denial of service (memory exhaustion) or potentially for privilege escalation.

CVE-2017-13080

A vulnerability was found in the WPA2 protocol that could lead to reinstallation of the same Group Temporal Key (GTK), which substantially reduces the security of wifi encryption. This is one of the issues collectively known as 'KRACK'.

Updates to GTKs are usually handled by the wpa package, where this issue was already fixed (DLA-1150-1). However, some wifi devices can remain active and update GTKs autonomously while the system is suspended. The kernel must also check for and ignore key reinstallation.

CVE-2017-14051

'shqking' reported that the qla2xxx SCSI host driver did not correctly validate I/O to the 'optrom' sysfs attribute of the devices it creates. This is unlikely to have any security impact.

CVE-2017-15115

Vladis Dronov reported that the SCTP implementation did not correctly handle 'peel-off' of an association to another net namespace. This leads to a use-after-free, which a local user can exploit for denial of service (crash or data corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation. On systems that do not already have the sctp module loaded, this can be mitigated by disabling it: echo >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-sctp.conf install sctp false

CVE-2017-15265

Michael23 Yu reported a race condition in the ALSA sequencer subsystem involving creation and deletion of ports, which could lead to a use-after-free. A local user with access to an ALSA sequencer device can use this for denial of service (crash or data loss) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2017-15299

Eric Biggers discovered that the KEYS subsystem did not correctly handle update of an uninstantiated key, leading to a null dereference.
A local user can use this for denial of service (crash).

CVE-2017-15649
