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 kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz),     the core of any Linux operating system. The kernel     handles the basic functions of the operating system:
    memory allocation, process allocation, device input and     output, etc.Security Fix(es):A flaw named FragmentSmack     was found in the way the Linux kernel handled     reassembly of fragmented IPv4 and IPv6 packets. A     remote attacker could use this flaw to trigger time and     calculation expensive fragment reassembly algorithm by     sending specially crafted packets which could lead to a     CPU saturation and hence a denial of service on the     system.(CVE-2018-5391)Multiple out-of-bounds write     flaws were found in the way the Cherry Cymotion     keyboard driver, KYE/Genius device drivers, Logitech     device drivers, Monterey Genius KB29E keyboard driver,     Petalynx Maxter remote control driver, and Sunplus     wireless desktop driver handled HID reports with an     invalid report descriptor size. An attacker with     physical access to the system could use either of these     flaws to write data past an allocated memory     buffer.(CVE-2014-3184)The __get_data_block function in     fs/f2fs/data.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11 allows     local users to cause a denial of service (integer     overflow and loop) via crafted use of the open and     fallocate system calls with an FS_IOC_FIEMAP     ioctl.(CVE-2017-18257)netetfilter/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)A denial of service     flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel, where a race     condition caused a NULL pointer dereference in the RDS     socket-creation code. A local attacker could use this     flaw to create a situation in which a NULL pointer     crashed the kernel.(CVE-2015-7990)An issue was     discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.19.9. The USB     subsystem mishandles size checks during the reading of     an extra descriptor, related to
    __usb_get_extra_descriptor in     drivers/usb/core/usb.c.(CVE-2018-20169)mm/memory.c in     the Linux kernel before 4.1.4 mishandles anonymous     pages, which allows local users to gain privileges or     cause a denial of service (page tainting) via a crafted     application that triggers writing to page     zero.(CVE-2015-3288)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 flaw was found in the     Linux kernel where a local user with a shell account     can abuse the userfaultfd syscall when using hugetlbfs.
    A missing size check in hugetlb_mcopy_atomic_pte could     create an invalid inode variable, leading to a kernel     panic.(CVE-2017-15128)An integer overflow flaw was     found in the way the lzo1x_decompress_safe() function     of the Linux kernel's LZO implementation processed     Literal Runs. A local attacker could, in extremely rare     cases, use this flaw to crash the system or,     potentially, escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2014-4608)It was found that Linux kernel's     ptrace subsystem did not properly sanitize the     address-space-control bits when the program-status word     (PSW) was being set. On IBM S/390 systems, a local,     unprivileged user could use this flaw to set     address-space-control bits to the kernel space, and     thus gain read and write access to kernel     memory.(CVE-2014-3534)A use-after-free flaw was found     in the Linux kernel's file system encryption     implementation. A local user could revoke keyring keys     being used for ext4, f2fs, or ubifs encryption, causing     a denial of service on the system.(CVE-2017-7374)The     usbip_recv_xbuff function in     drivers/usb/usbip/usbip_common.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.5.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial     of service (out-of-bounds write) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted length value in     a USB/IP packet.(CVE-2016-3955)A flaw was found in the     patches used to fix the 'dirtycow' vulnerability     (CVE-2016-5195). An attacker, able to run local code,     can exploit a race condition in transparent huge pages     to modify usually read-only huge     pages.(CVE-2017-1000405)The aio_mount function in     fs/aio.c in the Linux kernel does not properly restrict     execute access, which makes it easier for local users     to bypass intended SELinux W^X policy     restrictions.(CVE-2016-10044)The Serial Attached SCSI     (SAS) implementation in the Linux kernel mishandles a     mutex within libsas. This allows local users to cause a     denial of service (deadlock) by triggering certain     error-handling code.(CVE-2017-18232)A use-after-free     vulnerability was found in tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue     and other tcp_* functions. This condition could allow     an attacker to send an incorrect selective     acknowledgment to existing connections, possibly     resetting a connection.(CVE-2016-6828)The instruction     decoder in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the KVM subsystem     in the Linux kernel before 3.18-rc2 does not properly     handle invalid instructions, which allows guest OS     users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and host OS crash) via a crafted     application that triggers (1) an improperly fetched     instruction or (2) an instruction that occupies too     many bytes. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of     an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-8480.(CVE-2014-8481)The     snd_compress_check_input function in     sound/core/compress_offload.c in the ALSA subsystem in     the Linux kernel before 3.17 does not properly check     for an integer overflow, which allows local users to     cause a denial of service (insufficient memory     allocation) or possibly have unspecified other impact     via a crafted SNDRV_COMPRESS_SET_PARAMS ioctl     call.(CVE-2014-9904)The resv_map_release function in     mm/hugetlb.c in the Linux kernel, through 4.15.7,     allows local users to cause a denial of service (BUG)     via a crafted application that makes mmap system calls     and has a large pgoff argument to the remap_file_pages     system call.(CVE-2018-7740)

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.

An update of the linux package has been released.

An update of 'linux', 'linux-esx' packages of Photon OS has been released.

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

  - CVE-2015-9016     Ming Lei reported a race condition in the multiqueue     block layer (blk-mq). On a system with a driver using     blk-mq (mtip32xx, null_blk, or virtio_blk), a local user     might be able to use this for denial of service or     possibly for privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2017-0861     Robb Glasser reported a potential use-after-free in the     ALSA (sound) PCM core. We believe this was not possible     in practice.

  - CVE-2017-5715     Multiple researchers have discovered a vulnerability in     various processors supporting speculative execution,     enabling an attacker controlling an unprivileged process     to read memory from arbitrary addresses, including from     the kernel and all other processes running on the     system.

  This specific attack has been named Spectre variant 2 (branch target   injection) and is mitigated for the x86 architecture (amd64 and   i386) by using the 'retpoline' compiler feature which allows   indirect branches to be isolated from speculative execution.

  - CVE-2017-5753     Multiple researchers have discovered a vulnerability in     various processors supporting speculative execution,     enabling an attacker controlling an unprivileged process     to read memory from arbitrary addresses, including from     the kernel and all other processes running on the     system.

  This specific attack has been named Spectre variant 1 (bounds-check   bypass) and is mitigated by identifying vulnerable code sections   (array bounds checking followed by array access) and replacing the   array access with the speculation-safe array_index_nospec()   function.

  More use sites will be added over time.

  - CVE-2017-13166     A bug in the 32-bit compatibility layer of the v4l2     ioctl handling code has been found. Memory protections     ensuring user-provided buffers always point to userland     memory were disabled, allowing destination addresses to     be in kernel space. On a 64-bit kernel a local user with     access to a suitable video device can exploit this to     overwrite kernel memory, leading to privilege     escalation.

  - CVE-2017-13220     Al Viro reported that the Bluetooth HIDP implementation     could dereference a pointer before performing the     necessary type check. A local user could use this to     cause a denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-16526     Andrey Konovalov reported that the UWB subsystem may     dereference an invalid pointer in an error case. A local     user might be able to use this for denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-16911     Secunia Research reported that the USB/IP vhci_hcd     driver exposed kernel heap addresses to local users.
    This information could aid the exploitation of other     vulnerabilities.

  - CVE-2017-16912     Secunia Research reported that the USB/IP stub driver     failed to perform a range check on a received packet     header field, leading to an out-of-bounds read. A remote     user able to connect to the USB/IP server could use this     for denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-16913     Secunia Research reported that the USB/IP stub driver     failed to perform a range check on a received packet     header field, leading to excessive memory allocation. A     remote user able to connect to the USB/IP server could     use this for denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-16914     Secunia Research reported that the USB/IP stub driver     failed to check for an invalid combination of fields in     a received packet, leading to a NULL pointer     dereference. A remote user able to connect to the USB/IP     server could use this for denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-18017     Denys Fedoryshchenko reported that the netfilter     xt_TCPMSS module failed to validate TCP header lengths,     potentially leading to a use-after-free. If this module     is loaded, it could be used by a remote attacker for     denial of service or possibly for code execution.

  - CVE-2017-18203     Hou Tao reported that there was a race condition in     creation and deletion of device-mapper (DM) devices. A     local user could potentially use this for denial of     service.

  - CVE-2017-18216     Alex Chen reported that the OCFS2 filesystem failed to     hold a necessary lock during nodemanager sysfs file     operations, potentially leading to a NULL pointer     dereference. A local user could use this for denial of     service.

  - CVE-2017-18232     Jason Yan reported a race condition in the SAS     (Serial-Attached SCSI) subsystem, between probing and     destroying a port. This could lead to a deadlock. A     physically present attacker could use this to cause a     denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-18241     Yunlei He reported that the f2fs implementation does not     properly initialise its state if the 'noflush_merge'     mount option is used. A local user with access to a     filesystem mounted with this option could use this to     cause a denial of service.

  - CVE-2018-1066     Dan Aloni reported to Red Hat that the CIFS client     implementation would dereference a NULL pointer if the     server sent an invalid response during NTLMSSP setup     negotiation. This could be used by a malicious server     for denial of service.

  - CVE-2018-1068     The syzkaller tool found that the 32-bit compatibility     layer of ebtables did not sufficiently validate offset     values. On a 64-bit kernel, a local user with the     CAP_NET_ADMIN capability (in any user namespace) could     use this to overwrite kernel memory, possibly leading to     privilege escalation. Debian disables unprivileged user     namespaces by default.

  - CVE-2018-1092     Wen Xu reported that a crafted ext4 filesystem image     would trigger a null dereference when mounted. A local     user able to mount arbitrary filesystems could use this     for denial of service.

  - CVE-2018-5332     Mohamed Ghannam reported that the RDS protocol did not     sufficiently validate RDMA requests, leading to an     out-of-bounds write. A local attacker on a system with     the rds module loaded could use this for denial of     service or possibly for privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2018-5333     Mohamed Ghannam reported that the RDS protocol did not     properly handle an error case, leading to a NULL pointer     dereference. A local attacker on a system with the rds     module loaded could possibly use this for denial of     service.

  - CVE-2018-5750     Wang Qize reported that the ACPI sbshc driver logged a     kernel heap address. This information could aid the     exploitation of other vulnerabilities.

  - CVE-2018-5803     Alexey Kodanev reported that the SCTP protocol did not     range-check the length of chunks to be created. A local     or remote user could use this to cause a denial of     service.

  - CVE-2018-6927     Li Jinyue reported that the FUTEX_REQUEUE operation on     futexes did not check for negative parameter values,     which might lead to a denial of service or other     security impact.

  - CVE-2018-7492     The syzkaller tool found that the RDS protocol was     lacking a null pointer check. A local attacker on a     system with the rds module loaded could use this for     denial of service.

  - CVE-2018-7566     Fan LongFei reported a race condition in the ALSA     (sound) sequencer core, between write and ioctl     operations. This could lead to an out-of-bounds access     or use-after-free. A local user with access to a     sequencer device could use this for denial of service or     possibly for privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2018-7740     Nic Losby reported that the hugetlbfs filesystem's mmap     operation did not properly range-check the file offset.
    A local user with access to files on a hugetlbfs     filesystem could use this to cause a denial of service.

  - CVE-2018-7757     Jason Yan reported a memory leak in the SAS     (Serial-Attached SCSI) subsystem. A local user on a     system with SAS devices could use this to cause a denial     of service.

  - CVE-2018-7995     Seunghun Han reported a race condition in the x86 MCE     (Machine Check Exception) driver. This is unlikely to     have any security impact.

  - CVE-2018-8781     Eyal Itkin reported that the udl (DisplayLink) driver's     mmap operation did not properly range-check the file     offset. A local user with access to a udl framebuffer     device could exploit this to overwrite kernel memory,     leading to privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2018-8822     Dr Silvio Cesare of InfoSect reported that the ncpfs     client implementation did not validate reply lengths     from the server. An ncpfs server could use this to cause     a denial of service or remote code execution in the     client.

  - CVE-2018-1000004     Luo Quan reported a race condition in the ALSA (sound)     sequencer core, between multiple ioctl operations. This     could lead to a deadlock or use-after-free. A local user     with access to a sequencer device could use this for     denial of service or possibly for privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2018-1000199     Andy Lutomirski discovered that the ptrace subsystem did     not sufficiently validate hardware breakpoint settings.
    Local users can use this to cause a denial of service,     or possibly for privilege escalation, on x86 (amd64 and     i386) and possibly other architectures.

Missing length check of payload in net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c:_sctp_make_chunk() function allows denial of service :

An error in the '_sctp_make_chunk()' function (net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c) when handling SCTP, packet length can be exploited by a malicious local user to cause a kernel crash and a DoS.
(CVE-2018-5803)

Mishandling mutex within libsas allowing local Denial of Service

The Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) implementation in the Linux kernel mishandles a mutex within libsas. This allows local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock) by triggering certain error-handling code. (CVE-2017-18232)

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's client-side implementation of the cifs protocol. This flaw allows an attacker controlling the server to kernel panic a client which has the CIFS server mounted.(CVE-2018-1066)
